DECISION
The subject parcel is a large field located north of the Ashland Municipal Airport, west of Dead
Indian Memorial Road. The property is zoned E-1, as well as the surrounding properties to the
west and south; east and north of the subject parcel is outside City Limits. The parcel has no
utility connections, and is bound by Airport Road to the south and Emigrant Creek to the north.
The application is for a Site Review approval to construct a 21,250 square foot electric pole
storage yard. The storage yard will be utilized as a drop-off/pick-up location for electric poles,
and not utilized as extended parking. The project is set inside a natural berm on the property and
will have a slatted chain link fence to screen the pole yard from the nearby rights-of-way. The
site and access road will utilize a gravel base, and access to the storage yard will be from the rear
via a 25 foot wide gravel drive from Airport Road. Since the property does not have electric or
water utilizes, the site will be maintained in its natural state. Storm run-off will be mitigated
throughout the site naturally, by percolating through the gravel base and ultimately into the
ground. Findings state that run-off will not pose a hazard to Emigrant Creels, which is
approximately 125 feet to the north
Staff finds that since the proposal is nothing more the a pole storage yard, set inside a natural
berm, and with no access to unities, that any potential impacts to the site or surrounding
properties is minimal, and therefore compiles with the Ashland Municipal Code requirements
and the Site Review chapter.

Electric Department, City of Ashland

PROJECT SUMMARY
~F
Pole Yard Storage
The Electric Department, in looking for an adequate piece of city owned property, has decided to
relocate the poles to the Ashland Airport. The Airport Commission gave their approval to
proceed on Tuesday May 8, 2012.
The area is 170 feet wide by 125 feet deep. The area will be fenced and a rock base will be
constructed. One double gate is planned for the area located on the SW corner. The Electric
Department will construct a 25 foot wide rock based road from Airport Road to the fence gate.
The road to the pole yard will not be fenced. Including the road to the gate, the yard is estimated
at 23,000 square feet.
All Storm water/drainage will likely disperse into the pole yard naturally, or be absorbed into the
ground, and would not pose a hazard to Emigrant Creek, approximately 125 feet to the north.
This area will not have electric facilities or be used as a construction zone. It will be utilized to
store poles for the use of the Electric Department. The project will not affect the existing site
with regards to parking, landscaping, circulation, pedestrian and vehicular traffic and egress.
In pursuing Site Design approval, the Electric Department has gone through great lengths to
meet all applicable City ordinances and design requirements, while being limited in the type and
intensity of the proposed use, which is nothing more than a storage yard for poles.
Orientation and Scale
1. The proposed site will be a fenced in storage area with no "orientation" to the street.
The access entrance will be from the rear via a gravel road from Airport Road to the
fence gate.
Streetscape
The project is set inside a natural berm on the property and will have a slated chain link fence.
Landscaping
The site does not contain electric or water utilities and thus will not have installed landscaping.
The site will be maintained in its natural state.
Parking
The area is not intended for extended parking. It is utilized as a drop off and pick up location for
poles. Poles will be allocated on the site by size and allow the driver to loop inside the fence to
access the different pole sizes.
