Manzanita City Council Janurary 8 2025
There were Interesting updates on the work to begin soonish to install new water infrastructure on Classic St., and beyond, the status of our New Police Station and City Hall, etc. It’s exciting that construction will hopefully enable the Affordable Housing Development proposed off Necarney City Rd. to proceed.
An update on the current cost of the odd lawsuit against the City of Manzanita by Randy Kugler, Laura Swanson and Will Stone: so far Manzanita’s legal bills are about $25,000. The City may have a positive resolution to the suit by mid-January (i.e. it is found to be without merit).
Also, the costs to the City of Manzanita so far for the Bond Issue on Monthly vs. Quarterly Water Billing that resident Kugler forced on the City is up to $36,000. The costs for this will be borne, ironically by the Water Fund.
It’s a shame that this combined $62,000+ won’t be available to help with Manzanita’s many serious priorities.
Coastal Futures-A presentation by students from University of Oregon

This presentation will showcase their research on sustainable coastal practices and explore paths for long-term resilience.
All community members are encouraged to attend to learn more about coastal sustainability issues and engage in a discussion about planning for a more environmentally and socially resilient future.
Free to attend. Bread from WolfMoon Bakery and soup from Manzanita Wild will be served.

Update on Appeal of Nedonna Wave Planned Unit Development
As most of you know, the RB City Council voted unanimously in December to deny the Appeal of the Nedonna Wave PUD. Thankfully, Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition has filed an appeal with the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA). Oregon Shores is getting legal help from the Crag Law Center.
We hope this action will help prevent further development in the area for several important reasons: First, this land is a wetland that deserves protection; second, the development would be built on top of an aquifer, which serves as Rockaway Beach’s backup water source, and could pose a risk of contamination; finally, Nedonna Beach has only one road (egress) which is already insufficient in case of emergencies such as a medical emergency, floods, fires, storms, ocean surges and tsunami. There are already 360 homes in this area, adding more would exacerbate this safety concern.
Pictured is a map of the proposed PUD with a circle around lots 17, 18 and 19. Also included are some photos of what these lots look like right now. For reference, the blue line represents Song St, and the Green line is Kittiwick St.
Crag Law Center is doing this legal work pro bono, and would be grateful for any donations.

Men’s Group Meeting this Sunday

North Coast Locals: Install an EV Charger at your Home or Vacation Rental
We’re Ranger EV, a small, Portland-based startup with roots right here on the Oregon Coast in Manzanita. Some of us live in Portland and one of our team members, Lydia, is lucky to call this beautiful coastline home! We’ve teamed up with local Manzanita business, Sunset to Sunset, to bring something exciting to the Oregon Coast: Ranger Stations!
What’s a Ranger Station?
A Ranger Station is more than just an EV charger—it’s a way to make your home or vacation rental a haven for electric vehicle travelers while helping reduce carbon emissions. Whether it’s in your personal driveway or for your guests at your vacation rental, a Ranger Station lets people charge while they sleep—no more detouring to fast chargers in Tillamook or Warrenton.
Why Ranger EV?
We’re engineers, surfers, writers, outdoor enthusiasts, software developers, scientists, and environmentalists who share a deep love for the PNW. We understand the magic of the Oregon Coast and we want to protect it and make it more accessible for electric vehicles.
By hosting a Ranger Station, you’re joining a mission to:
– Ease EV travelers’ “charging anxiety”
– Welcome more visitors to your home or rental
– Offset energy costs with easy shared payment options
– Be part of a growing community helping to make EV travel more sustainable
We’re already working locally and would love for you to join us. If you’re a homeowner or own a vacation rental and want to add an EV charger, let’s chat!
Check out the links below to learn more:
– Homeowners: rangerev.co/your-driveway/
– Vacation Rentals: rangerev.co/vacation-rentals/
If you have any questions, feel free to respond to this email address or reach out through our website, www.rangerev.co/contact-us/
Cheers,
The Ranger EV Team
