Scappoose staff report multiple housing and infrastructure projects; basalt well drilling and a 3,000,000‑gallon reservoir planned
Summary
City planning staff told the committee about several active projects: a credit‑union branch application, partitions to enable six duplex units, Northwest First Street Apartments (36 units), Kale Street (8 lots), Heuser (37 lots), Dutch Canyon Phase 4 (33 lots), basalt well drilling (~380 ft so far, target 400–600 ft), Keys Road replacement reservoir (3,000,000 gallons) and wastewater plant upgrades including a Class A biosolids dryer.
An unidentified city planner briefed the Economic Development Committee on land‑use and infrastructure projects under review or in construction in Scappoose.
Key land‑use items: a land‑use application for a new credit‑union branch just south of Buy‑Mart; a 3‑lot partition that will support six duplex units; a 2‑lot partition to support a single‑family home; a pre‑application for a self‑storage facility on the Cinnamon Tree property; the Northwest First Street Apartments (a 36‑unit complex); and several subdivisions — Kale Street (eight lots), Heuser (37 lots) and Dutch Canyon Phase 4 (33 lots).
Water and wastewater projects: staff said basalt‑well drilling has reached about 380 feet toward an expected zone between roughly 400 and 600 feet and that Keys Road water‑reservoir work will demolish older tanks and replace them with a 3,000,000‑gallon reservoir; demo and construction are expected to proceed through the winter. The wastewater treatment plant is receiving major upgrades including a new biosolids dryer that will produce Class A biosolids, upgraded aeration and a new headworks building with UV disinfection.
Staff also noted a creek‑layback project at Grabhorn Park intended to increase flood storage and fish habitat, and that several projects will require further permit review prior to construction.
