Re: Planting and mitigation Plan, Species changes PA-2011-01555
Dear Mr. Pina:
We are requesting approval for the following changes in the planting and mitigation
plan (Exhibit A of the cited case) for the above cited project. These changes are to
correct mis-identification of species in the original application.
In the original application an Incense cedar was mis-identified as a Sequoia and the
alder trees were mis- identified as Red alder not White alder.
The mitigation plan further calls for two shrub species that are not common to the
Ashland area. Those species are sword fern and cluster rose.
In the trees category, the changes proposed are to replace the Red alder (Alnus rubra)
and Western red cedar (Thujia plicata) with White alder (Alnus Rhombifolia) and
Incense cedar (Libocedrus decurrens). The size and quantities are to remain the same as
originally specified.
In the shrubs category, the changes proposed are to delete the cluster rose (Rosa
Pisocarpa) (9 units) and increase the Nootka rose (Rosa Nutkana) quantity from 18 to 27
units. And, delete the Sword fern (Polystichum munitum) (21 units) and add that
species quantity to the Snow-berry (Symphoricarpos albus) units bringing that quantity
to 27 units. Size for the proposed shrubs to remain as originally specified.
These changes are requested as the proposed species are more suitable to the Ashland
climate and the proposed tree species replace the species that were removed.

RE: Planning Action 42012-01121
Notice of Final Decision
On August 20, 2012, the Staff Advisor for the Ashland Planning Division administratively approved your
request for the following:
PLANNING ACTION: PA-2012-01121
SUBJECT PROPERTY: 70 Water Street
APPLICANT: Scott English
DESCRIPTION: A request for a Tree Removal permit to remove a 25-inch Alder tree
located along Ashland Creek behind 70 Water Street. In conjunction with the Ashland Creek Restoration
Project, a 10-inch irrigation pipe is to be installed adjacent to the Alder's root zone.
The Staff Advisor's decision becomes final and is effective on the 13'h day after the Notice of Final

the ALUO 18.108.070(B)(2)(c).
An appeal may not be made directly to the Land Use Board of Appeals. Oregon law states that failure to
raise an objection concerning this application, by letter, or failure to provide sufficient specificity to afford
the decision maker an opportunity to respond to the issue, precludes your right of appeal to LUBA on that
issue. Failure to specify which ordinance criterion the objection is based on also precludes your right of
appeal to LUBA on that criterion. Failure of the applicant to raise constitutional or other issues relating to
proposed conditions of approval with sufficient specificity to allow this Department to respond to the
issue precludes an action for damages in circuit court.
The application, all associated documents and evidence submitted, and the applicable criteria are available
for review at no cost at the Ashland Community Development Department, located at 51 Winburn Way.

PLANNING ACTION: PA-2012-01121
SUBJECT PROPERTY: 70 Water Street
APPLICANT: Scott English
DESCRIPTION: A request for a Tree Removal permit to remove a 25-inch Alder
tree located along Ashland Creek behind 70 Water Street. In conjunction with the Ashland Creek
Restoration Project, a 10-inch irrigation pipe is to be installed adjacent to the Alder's root zone.
A certified arborist noted that due to the tree's lean towards the Ashland Creek Inn, installation
of the pipe would severely compromise the tree's structural integrity and will become a hazard.

SUBMITTAL DATE:. August 3, 2012
DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: August 3, 2012

APPEAL DEADLINE: September 3, 2012
FINAL DECISION DATE: September 4, 2012
APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: September 4, 2013
DECISION
The subject property is the located on the east side of Water Street, between B Street and Central
Avenue. The property contains a single structure on the lot known as Ashland Creek Inn, which
has the Ashland Creek riparian corridor passing through the rear of the property. The subject
parcel and uses to the north-northeast are zoned E-1, while the parcels to the south and west are
zoned C-1., Uses across Ashland Creek to the east are zoned R-2.
The request is to remove a leaning 25-inch D.B.H. Alder tree located on the bank of Ashland
Creels. In conjunction with the Ashland Creek Restoration Project, a required 10-inch irrigation
pipe is to be installed within the Alder's root zone: The application notes that this particular tree
was not included in last year's removal request because the applicant thought the irrigation pipe
could be installed without compromising the tree's stability. However, once the underlying
blackberries and bamboo were removed from the area, the project manager felt that installation
of the pipe would not be feasible without severely compromising the tree's structural integrity,
causing the tree to become a hazard.
The Tree Commission reviewed the application at their August 9, 2012 meeting. They concurred
with Randy Manson of Upper Limb-It Tree Service that installation of the 10-inch irrigation pipe
will cause significant structural damage to the subject tree, and removing it at this stage of the
project is the best option. However, the Commission did feel that removal will have a negative
impact on erosion, soil stability, and the flow of water within Ashland Creek due to the size and
habitat this particular tree creates. However, given that there is an on-going restoration project in
the immediate area, the previously submitted mitigation and re-planting plan will address any
PA #2012-01121
70 Water St.,MP

i
issues related to this removal request. As such, the Commission recommended that the applicant
amend the previously submitted mitigation plan to include the size, species, and location of the
mitigated tree.
Staff fmds that given the circumstances and limited time that the project has to work within
Ashland Creek as previously approved by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW),
that removal of the Alder tree is approved, and the mitigation plan be amended to include the
removal of this tree.
The criteria for a Tree Removal Permit are described in AMC Chapter 18.61.080, as
follows:
An applicant for a Tree Removal Permit shall demonstrate that the following criteria are 5
satisfied. The StaffAdvisor may require an arborist's report to substantiate the criteria for a.
permit.
B. Tree that is Not a Hazard: The City shall issue a tree removal permit for a tree that is not a
hazard if the applicant demonstrates all of the following.
1. The tree is proposed for removal in order to permit the application to be consistent
with other applicable Ashland Land Use Ordinance requirements and standards. (e.g.
other applicable Site Design and Use Standards). The StaffAdvisor may require the
building footprint of the development to be staked to allow for accurate verification of
the permit application; and
2. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on erosion, soil
stability, flow of surface waters, protection of adjacent trees, or existing windbreaks;
and
3. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on the tree densities,
sizes, canopies, and species diversity within 200 feet of the subject property.
The application with the attached conditions complies with all applicable City ordinances.
Planning Action 2012-00897 is approved with the following conditions. Further, if any one or
more of the following conditions are found to be invalid for any reason whatsoever, then
Planning Action 2012-00897 is denied. The following are the conditions and they are attached to
the approval:
1) That all conditions of PA-2011-01555 still remain in effect.
2) That the applicant amends the approved landscape and replanting plan that was originally
submitted with PA-2011-01555 to include the size, location, and species of the chosen
replacement tree. The tree will reach the size and stature of the tree removed once
matures.

3) The use of Power assisted machinery within the Stream Bank Protection Zone be in
accordance with 18.63.060.A.1.i, which states that "Soil compaction from construction
equipment shall be reduced by distributing the weight of the equipment over a large area
(e.g. laying lightweight geogrids, mulch, chipped wood, plywood, OSB, metal plats or
other materials capable of weight distribution in the pathway of the equipment)."

An applicant for a Tree Removal Permit shall demonstrate that the following criteria are satisfied. The Staff Advisor may require an arborist's
report to substantiate the criteria for a permit.
A. Hazard Tree: The Staff Advisor shall issue a tree removal permit for a hazard tree if the applicant demonstrates that a tree is a hazard and
warrants removal.
1. A hazard tree is a tree that is physically damaged to the degree that it is clear that it is likely to fall and injure persons or property. A
hazard tree may also include a tree that is located within public rights of way and is causing damage to existing public or private facilities or
services and such facilities or services cannot be relocated or the damage alleviated. The applicant must demonstrate that the condition or
location of the tree presents a clear public safety hazard or a foreseeable danger of property damage to an existing structure and such
hazard or danger cannot reasonably be alleviated by treatment or pruning.
2. The City may require the applicant to mitigate for the removal of each hazard tree pursuant to AMC 18.61.084. Such mitigation
requirements shall be a condition of approval of the permit.
B. Tree that is Not a Hazard: The City shall issue a tree removal permit for a tree that is not a hazard if the applicant demonstrates all of the
following:
1. The tree is proposed for removal in order to permit the application to be consistent with other applicable Ashland Land Use Ordinance
requirements and standards, including but not limited to applicable Site Design and Use Standards and Physical and Environmental
Constraints. The Staff Advisor may require the building footprint of the development to be staked to allow for accurate verification of the
permit application; and
2. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on erosion, soil stability, flow of surface waters, protection of adjacent
trees, or existing windbreaks; and
3. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on the tree densities, sizes, canopies, and species diversity within 200
feet of the subject property. The City shall grant an exception to this criterion when alternatives to the tree removal have been considered
and no reasonable alternative exists to allow the property to be used as permitted in the zone. Nothing in this section shall require that the
residential density be reduced below the permitted density allowed by the zone. In making this determination, the City may consider
alternative site plans or placement of structures or alternate landscaping designs that would lessen the impact on trees, so long as the
alternatives continue to comply with other provisions of the Ashland Land Use Ordinance.
4. The City shall require the applicant to mitigate for the removal of each tree granted approval pursuant to AMC 18.61.084. Such
mitigation requirements shall be a condition of approval of the permit.

The Red Alder under discussion, just upstream of the concrete dam, is at present not a hazard.
However, the tree has a distinct lean towards the Inn across the stream. The proposed trenching on the up slope [south]
side of the tree to a depth of 3' or more would require cutting most of the supporting roots opposite the direction of lean.
this would result in the tree becoming a definite hazard to the Inn and its patrons and employees
As there seems to be no viable alternative to the routing of the pipe, I strongly advise removing the Alder.
Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on erosion, soil stability, or the flow of surface waters.
The stream restoration project will address these issues with the removal of the dam, new plantings of trees and shrubs,
and modifications to the stream bed. The Alder will be replaced with as large a tree as practicable.
Adjacent trees are expected to be little affected by the removal as there are many Alders along the stream and mortality is common.
Since there are numerous Alders and a large Blk. Walnut within 200 ft. and since there will be many plantings on the adjacent
stream banks removal of the tree will not have a significant impact on tree.densities, sizes, and species diversity.
