1. ROLL CALL: Chair Moore called the meeting to order at
10:00 a.m. Chair Moore and Members Abbott, Woodruff, Beckstead, Welch and Church
answered the roll. Member Peterson was absent. A quorum was present.
2. CITIZEN COMMENTS AND CONCERNS: Carol Ann Milligan
addressed the Agency, noting that she was there to represent the buyer who was
making a request for a portion of the Waldport Motel lot. She distributed a
packet of materials, which helped to explain the proposal. She indicated that
the buyer was open to any ideas in regard to parking requirements, noting that
there was nothing specific in the Development Code which addressed the number of
spaces required. She felt that the parking issue should be studied by the
Planning Commission for a ruling on how much parking was needed. The applicant
did not need to have Highway 101 frontage, as her clientele was comprised of
local people, most of whom are senior citizens. Ms. Milligan explained that the
buyer would be a good neighbor, the plan would put the property to good
commercial use, and there would be a low impact on surrounding residential
properties. The building was described as being a one-story building, in a "Cape
Cod" style, and she indicated that architectural drawings could be provided. At
the current location, there are 18 parking spots to be shared for A Cut Above,
Health 101, Coldwell Banker, the exercise place, and Bridgeview Medical. Mr.
Welch asked about an estimated number of parking spaces, Ms. Milligan indicated
that this would need to be determined. Discussion ensued. Ms. Milligan noted
that the placement of the building was somewhat flexible, but that the
landscaping was very important. The current proposed placement of the building
would allow for an easement from Highway 101 to Maple Street. The buyer's
representatives then left.
3. AGENCY MEMBERS COMMENTS AND CONCERNS: Mr. Beckstead asked
why he was not allowed to ask about flexibility of cost. Joanie Biron addressed
the Agency, explaining that there were very strict laws regarding real estate
agencies standards in Oregon. The offer is presented, the buyer's agents plead
their case and leave, the Agency then discusses the offer with their agent, and
any counter-offer needs to be put on paper. Consensus of the Agency was
to allow Ms. Biron to stay for the Executive Session. The Agency then recessed
into Executive Session, pursuant to ORS 192.660 (1)(e): To conduct deliberations
with persons designated by the governing body to negotiate real property
transactions.
4. ACTIONS, IF ANY, FROM EXECUTIVE SESSION: At 11:18 a.m.,
the Agency reconvened into open session. Chair Moore moved to table any
action on selling the property until July 26. Mr. Welch seconded. The
Agency requested that Ms. Leonard contact the Chair of the Planning Commission
prior to that date. The motion carried, with Chair Moore and Members
Abbott, Woodruff and Welch voting "Aye", Members Beckstead and Church voting
"Nay". It was explained that the extension was being requested for the purpose
of determining parking requirements.
5. ADJOURNMENT: At 11:22 a.m., there being no further
business to come before the Agency, the meeting was adjourned.
