APPROXIMATELY 40 GUESTS were treated to a night of wining and dining featuring a special library release of Twist Wine’s 10-year-old Oregon Syrah during the second annual Winemakers Dinner on Dec. 9 at Grateful Bread Restaurant & Bakery. Accompanying the release of the 10-year-old Syrah was cuisine crafted by Grateful Bread Chef Aurelian Mot, who served up mesquitebraised short ribs with a cherry glaze to pair with the Syrah. The meal started off with a champagne toast and squash and smoked salmon crostini, followed

by Cajun fish cakes with a roasted chile remoulade accompanied by Twist’s Stumbling Block White Table Wine and a beet salad paired with Twist’s Reserve Pinot Noir. Chocolate truffles, accompanied by Twist’s Stumbling Block Red Table Wine, topped off the dinner. Those that missed out on the evening can still enjoy Twist’s 2007 Reversal Syrah as a limited number of bottles are for sale for only $35 a bottle at the Twist Wine Tasting Room & Lounge, 6425 Pacific Ave, Pacific City.

Approximately 40 residents showed up to learn more about the proposed changes to the Pacific City-Woods Community Plan — as well as the accompanying zoning changes — during the Dec. 16 Pacific City-Woods Citizens Advisory Committee meeting.

Present to explain the effort was Tillamook County Department of Community Development Director Sarah Absher, who was promoted from her previous appointment as interim director on Dec. 1.

Amongst the biggest concerns raised both during comments at the Dec. 16 meeting as well as in earlier discussions is the increase in density that the proposed zone changes would bring. In the proposed changes, one- to eight-family dwellings — including townhouses, rowhouses, apartments and condominiums — would be a use permitted outright.

Currently, uses permitted outright are limited to a four-family dwelling in R3 zoned property. As well, the proposed changes remove the requirement for an additional 2,000 square feet of lot area for each additional family unit on a minimum sized lot — which is 5,000 square feet — in R3 zones.

“Part of (the change to increased density) is to address the housing need and the housing shortage that Tillamook County is currently facing,” Absher explained.

“The increase in density is the issue, I think, that’s got most people’s attention,” said Community Plan Review Committee member Bud Miller. “My concern is, (for example) there’s four townhouses over there across the street from the Community Center. Under these new guidelines, you could probably put seven or eight in there.

“And the other concern other people have commented on is that there’s no guarantee that these will be rentals or will be affordable. We could end up with townhouses (and) townhomes all up and down our area. Remember that both (Pacific) Seawatch and (Pacific) Sunset, the two developments that are under construction now are both R3. Whatever we change here affects those rather large areas.”

Absher said that in developing the new higher density standards, the discussion recognized other standards that remain in place that limit development.

“The conversation revolved around when you’re talking about open space and adequate area for dwellings, parking,

infrastructure, etc, how much land area do you actually need? The conversation went to if setbacks are already required and setbacks are already required, could you still achieve the same goal of maintaining that open space and allowing for adequate area for infrastructure and parking and remove that additional 2,000 square foot limitation? And that the answer was yes. Because, ultimately the size of the property as it is with setbacks, parking and land area needed for infrastructure will still determine how much density or how many units or how big of a building footprint you could build.”

Also, as previously reported in the Sun, higher height limits that were in the initial proposal have been reverted to original standards. In the first draft of the changes, it was proposed that the commercial height limit be raised to 50 feet and the R3 height limit to 45 feet, an increase of 10 feet over current standards.

“We had a lot of concern (at previous meetings) about the height being raised,” said Community Plan Review Committee member Ielean Rouse, hence going back to the original height limits.

Though the return to original height standards was a request suggested by several via feedback already received, not everyone was 100 percent pleased with the return to the original height limits.

Dave Baxter of Pacific City Homes explained that though he doesn’t support a 50-foot height limit in commercial zones, the picture is more complicated in building residential homes. He said that building a home with two floors above a garage, for example, is difficult to do within a 35-foot height limit, which the current standards call for in R3 neighborhoods.

“You’re already at 30 (feet) leaving you only five feet for a roof,” he said. “So you get a really shallow-pitched (roof), which doesn’t work very well.”

The next public opportunity to comment will be when the Tillamook County Planning Commission takes up the matter. The Department of Community Development is planning on scheduling the Planning Commission meeting in early February at Kiawanda Community Center in Pacific City.

In the meantime, Absher is encouraging concerned citizens to view the complete copies of the proposed changes by visiting co.tillamook.or.us/gov/ComDev/.

“We need to hear from everybody,” Asher said. “Please give us comments. It doesn’t matter if you agree with us or not, we would love to hear from you.”

E-waste drive to benefit Nestucca Senior Safe

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun Songs of the season, the pleasure of presents and a visit from the Jolly Old Elf were all part of the fun at the annual Pacific City Christmas Tree Lighting, jointly hosted by the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Kiawanda Community Center.

Held on Dec. 16 at the Center, the event drew a room full of holiday revelers as all attendees got their fill of complimentary treats and the kids were treated with a visit with Santa, who arrived aboard a Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District fire engine. As well, each youth was given a gift bag and the lucky ones took home presents from a gift raffle.

Science Pub to highlight salmon fishery

Looking towards the new year

By VERNE MOBLEY Chamber President Happy Holidays good friends! Tis’ the season.

I am stepping down as Chamber president after 2 years. This has been a fun time, but the job has many more responsibilities than this “old guy” needs. Susan Amort volunteered to step in as President. She will be super in the job. She is young and ambitious and has experience in the Chamber’s activities. The other officers will remain the same, except we need someone to serve as Chamber Secretary!!

Our next membership meeting will be January 2nd at the Kiawanda Community Center at noon.

Please remember the date and change of venue.

We will discuss the plan somebody has about selling our airport to a private party. Come on down and let’s talk serious about this “problem.”

Our annual meeting Dec. 5 at the Pelican was very successful. Great presentation by Grant McOmie. He donated a trip with him on one of his “Grant’s Getaways.” We auctioned it off for about $750 — Thanks, Grant!

Dororthy Gann was voted “Volunteer of the Year.” Very deserving! She jumps right in the middle of anything she is asked to volunteer for.

The “Citizen of the Year” is our Kiawanda Community Center, the administrator Nettie Casiano, the board members and the super volunteers.

The “Business of the Year” is Nestucca Valley Sanitary Service. Congratulations to Mrs. Dye, Paul and Sandy Carbaugh and their dedicated employees.

Big plans are getting in place for Birding & Blues, Clover’s Day, Dory Days, Reach the Beach bike event and other fun stuff.

The next Chamber of Commerce board meeting will be Jan. 2 at the Visitors Center.

Watershed Council to host ‘The Science Behind the Catch,’ Jan. 9 at Pelican Pub

The Nestucca Valley Community Alliance Board of Directors chartered a course for its partial development during the coming year of an in-process community park during a Dec. 16 meeting at Kiawanda Community Center.

High on the list for projects to be addressed in 2018, according to Board consensus, will be to both find funding for and develop a playground, picnic area, covered area, park benches, drinking fountain, trash can receptacles and restrooms — as well as to install utility infrastructure. The directors were in general agreement that these improvements had priority over paving over the park’s current gravel parking lot.

The group has identified several funding sources for the planned projects including the Collins Foundation, the Oregon Community Foundation, the Ford

Family Foundation, Weyerhauser, the Spirit Mountain Community Fund, and the tourism-related infrastructure fund for Tillamook County Transient Lodging Tax. According to the group’s master plan, which was drafted by HHPR for the park’s development, the restroom, drinking fountains and trash cans are expected to cost approximately $135,000.

The cost of a covered area will depend on how large NVCA ultimately decides on it being but likely would be at least $40,000. Picnic tables are in the master plan budget for $12,000. Complete numbers for utility infrastructure are still unkown as the group is still investigating any applicable Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary capital improvement charges.

The NVCA’s next meeting is scheduled for Jan. 13, 1-2:30 p.m., at Kiawanda Community Center. For more information about the NVCA, visit nestucca.org.

A Powerful Pair

The music of cellist Edward Arron and pianist Jeewon Park will be featured at a Jan. 7 Neskowin Chamber Music concert

T

wo virtuosos of chamber music performance come together for the first Neskowin Chamber Music concert of 2018 when cellist Edward Arron and his wife, pianist Jeewon Park, appear on Sunday, Jan. 7 at 3 p.m. at Camp Wi-Ne-Ma. Arron made his New York recital debut in 2000 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Since that time, he has appeared in recital, as a soloist with major orchestras, and as a chamber musician throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. In 2013, he completed a 10-year residency at the museum’s Artists in Concert series. He has played at Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center, New York’s Town Hall, and the 92nd Street Y. A frequent performer at festivals from one coast (Tanglewood) to the other (Seattle Chamber Music), Arron is a graduate of the Julliard School and started playing the cello at the age of seven. He is on the music faculty at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Park made her debut at the age of 12 when she performed Chopin’s First Concerto with the Korean Symphony Orchestra. After winning all the major

competitions in Korea, she came to the U.S. in 2002. She is a graduate of the Julliard School and Yale University. She holds the DMA degree from the State University of New York, Stony Brook. In the years since, she has performed at such major concert halls as the Grace Rainey Rogers Hall of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and a number of venues in Korea. Park regularly appears at music festivals in New York, Vermont, Seattle, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. She frequently collaborates with members of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.

Arron has gained worldwide recognition for what critics call his “elegant musicianship, impassioned performance, and creative performing.” The New York Times hailed Park’s “infectious exuberance” and other critics called her technique “poetic lyricism.”

Camp Wi-Ne-Ma is located three miles north of Neskowin just off Highway 101. Season tickets are $110.

Individual tickets are $25. For more information, call 503-965-6499, write Neskowin Chamber Music, P.O. Box 1044, Pacific City, OR 97135, or visit neskowinchambermusic.org.

en. Arnie Roblan and Rep. David Gomberg, together with Tillamook County Commissioners, will be hosting a panel dicussion Jan. 8, 5-7 p.m., at Kiawanda Community Center, in an effort to solicit community feedback on the possibility of the Oregon Department of Aviation selling Pacific City State Airport to a local citizen who has pledged to keep the airport open.

At the meeting, Oregon Department of Aviation staff will be on hand to answer questions about the possibility of selling of the airport to the as yet undisclosed private individual in what ODA director Mitch Swecker told the Sun is an effort to not only keep the airport open but to improve the safety at the landing strip.

“He’s an individual that has a house out there and wants the same things that the people concerned that the airport will still be open to the public want,” Swecker said about the possible buyer.

Since the ODA voted on Oct. 19 to begin the process of going through the necessary hoops to sell the airport to a private individual, there has some vocal opposition to the effort — opposition that pointed to the fact that the effort has initially not had sufficient public input.

Amongst those taking exception to the lack of transparency for the possible sale is part-time resident Robyn Holdman.

She said that she would have liked to see ODA first reach out to the public before beginning the process of selling the airport. “(My message to ODA is) please don’t make a dsecision in your own little space,” she said. “You need to reach out to people and find out how they can help to mitigate the risk before you sell it.”

She said she sees the meeting as a chance to rectify the lack of public input.

“I think it’s a good opportunity for the state to really understand what the community’s wishes are,” Holdman said.

“It’s for government to realize that to make good decisions you need to seek public input.”

For his part, Swecker said that he hopes to address the community’s concerns as well as get public buy-in for the possible sale at the meeting, buy-in that he wants to get before proceeding with the process.

“Really our goal is (to get) people (to) understand that the airport is not in jeopardy of closing,” he said. “Our idea of transferring (the airport) is that whatever transfer we do supports the pilot community and the local community.”

Swecker said he also sees the idea

of transferring the airport to a local landowner as a way airport safety could possibly be improved. He noted that the individual they are in discussions with may have more capability to be on site and be in position to enact a plan to make it a safer landing spot.

“The reason we’re interested in transferring (the ownership) is because of the safety factor,” he added. “A private citizen may be able to do more with it.”

Assuming ODA gets buy-in from the community, the next step will be to declare the property as surplus with the Department of Administrative Services, a process that Pacific City State Airport manager Matt Moss describes as one that is there to make sure any transfer meets all state laws and rules. As well, the statement of surplus is required to be publically posted for 30 days before action is taken.

“We’re still early enough in the process that there’s plenty of opportunity for people to discuss (the airport’s future),” Swecker said.

ODA’s recent concerns on the safety of the airport dates back to 2012, when the agency held a public meeting in Pacific City addressing the fact that the airport, which the ODA has owned and operated since 1951, was on the list of those being seriously looked at.

As reported in the Nov 2, 2012 issue of the Sun, Swecker previously described ODA’s look into the long-term feasibility of keeping the airport open as “very preliminary,” adding that the department wanted to talk to stakeholders involved to examine any ramifications of closing it — including its value to emergency services, firefighters and a potential site for helicopters to stage from in the aftermath of a tsunami.

At that time, Swecker said that if the department were to sell, as it is considering doing now, that wouldn’t necessarily mean it would close. In fact, as reported in the Nov. 11, 2017 issue of the Sun, the deed for the airport is deed restricted to only be used as an airport, a restriction that would continue in any sale to a private citizen.

“It’s all about having dialogue with the local community and the aviation community,” said Swecker in a 2012 interview with the Sun. “We’ll certainly work with the public and the stakeholders and (Tillamook) County. We’ll involve all of them and be open and transparent. We serve the constituents of the state, so we don’t want to do anything without input from them.”

And that’s a promise that Holdman says she’ll hold the ODA to.

“If people decide that private ownership is in best interest of community, then so be it,” she said. “I just want to make sure it’s a transparent and inclusive process and respectful.”
