City of Ashland letter dated January 7, 2013.
Dear Mr. Molnar and members of the Planning Division, and Staff Advisor, et. al.:
This letter is written to you to correct the information and perception
regarding the off street parking conveyed in the referenced Decision for the
Findings and Orders of Planning Action PA - 2012001674, received by us as parties
of record and property owners within 200 ft. of the subject property, & to consider
potentially requiring additional parking space in the Lori Alley for the Traveler's
Accommodation, and to encourage that the parking issue be taken into account with
regard to the potential surplus of nearby City property used in the transaction for
the Hersey Street alignment, such property originally intended to alleviate the need
for additional parking in this area. Decision information presented was accepted at
face value by the Historic Commission at their January 2nd meeting, with no
recommendations regarding the application, and therefore also approved the
application as submitted.
The information presented stated in part: "The recent Hersey/Wimer Street
realignment project closed the two of the property's three non-conforming curb
cuts, which in-turn opened106 linear feet of uninterrupted curb that became
available" for the applicant to claim as on street parking credits' in accordance with
the Ashland Municipal Code (AMC) 18.92.050. A.

Continued below'
P2. January 19, 2013
Ashland Planning Division, continued:
RE Planning Action: Notice of Final Decision, PA-20122-01674. City letter
dated January 7, 2013/
The fact is that while the credit may or may not be technically correct, that as
stated, the parking spaces at the place of the "non-conforming cuts" were and have
been used for parking for some time, and continue to used for parking by owners,
tenants, customers and employees of the adjacent businesses, and thus, are not new
as implied and did not open up 106 linear feet of unused parking spaces. This is also
due to the fact that the cuts were not being used as access to the property, and in
fact were adjacent to a boundary blocking parallel fence. Thus, no additional street
parking was created by the filling of these curb cuts. This was implied by the
wording in the decision. Further, the city has not monitored these cuts, allowing for
their continued use and that city's passive lack of action to prevent existing parking
in these cuts as street footage & makes them de facto existing parking spaces.
City action to decrease future parking area adjacent to the corner business at
W. Hersey and N. Main by using this lot space to accommodate Hersey Street
alignment has resulted in the creation of an approximate 25 by 100 ft. space in the
formerly designated original future parking lot on N. Main St. This referenced
Planning Division decision, combined with the increased impact of the newly
approved Travelers Accommodation business parking by it's clients currently being
utilized by existing businesses on Hersey makes the parking situation more difficult
going forward. Therefore, it is also requested that the 25 by 100 parcel of city
property be considered for additional parking, as initially intended, and not
considered as surplus by the city.

FINDINGS & ORDERS
PLANNING ACTION: PA-2012-01674
SUBJECT PROPERTY: 348 North Main
APPLICANT: Candace Cave / Zeb Lancaster
DESCRIPTION: A request for a Conditional Use Permit for four-unit Travelers
Accommodation, including the owner's unit, located at 348 North Main.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Low-Density Multi-Family; ZONING: R-2;
ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 lE 05DD; TAX LOT: 9600
SUBMITTAL DATE: November 28, 2012
DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: December 12, 20112
STAFF APPROVAL DATE: January 7, 2013
APPEAL DEADLINE: January 21, 2013
FINAL DECISION DATE: January 22, 2013
APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: January 22, 2014
DECISION
The subject property is located at the southeast corner of the North Main and West Hersey Street
intersection, and is bound by an unimproved portion of Lori Lane (alley) to the east. The parcel is
approximately 15,681 square feet, and has a downward slope to the east of 5.5 percent. The parcel
and adjacent lot to the south are zoned R-2, Low-Density Multi-Family. The properties east of the
alley are zoned R-3, while uses north of Hersey Street are zoned E-1. The Skidmore Academy
Historic District boundary line splits the property, with the western portion being within in the
district. This portion contains the Historic Contributing home, and one of the two historic out-
buildings placed on the north property line. These structures are referred to as the East and West
buildings, were built in 1907 and 1930s respectively, and are both approximately 400 square feet.
Since purchasing the property, the current property owners have retro-fitted the East and West
buildings into treatment rooms in conjunction with their home occupation use, which is a healing and
counseling practice that offers a variety of services for human well-being; including massage, yoga,
bodywork, as well as other healing modalities. They have also erected three additional-out-buildings
along the north property line. The additional buildings are less than 200 square feet and therefore do
not require a building permit. Setback and lot coverage requirements have been met, and a zoning
permit has been issued for the placement of the buildings.
The request is for a four-unit Travelers Accommodation, including the owner's unit, to be located
within the main house and east and west buildings. The findings note that the East building would be
permanently available to guests, while the West building and home would only be utilized
occasionally for those who come to study and heal in conjunction with the home occupation use. The
applicant's intention is not to target the typical OSF tourist, but specifically for those who come to
utilize the applicant's services.

The home is known as the Payne-Penter House, circa 1884, and is classified as a Historic
Contributing resource according to survey documents. The property is located at the intersection of
North Main and Hersey streets - an arterial and collector respectively. Both out-buildings are 400
square feet, and the additional unit within the main house is 450 square feet. One of the three
property owners resides on-site, and currently operates the Home Occupation use. The property is
15,681 square feet, which is permitted to have a total of eight accommodation units although only
four is proposed.
The accommodation use requires two parking spaces for the owner; plus one space for each guest
unit, for a total of five required parking spaces. The standing Home Occupation permit would require
one parking space be available for the customer to use. The recent Hersey/Wimer Street realignment
project closed the two of the property's three non-conforming curb cuts, which in-turn opened 106
linear feet of uninterrupted curb that became available for the applicant to claim as on-street parking
credits in accordance with Ashland Municipal Code (AMC) 18.92.050.A. This equates to four on-
street parking credits. The existing driveway is 26.5 feet wide, wide enough for two standard
vehicles and one compact vehicle. Therefore a total of seven parking spaces are available to the
applicant, satisfying the parking requirement.
The applicant's findings state the renovation of the East and West buildings have been done with
thoughtful consideration of the historic district standards, and the property remains architecturally
compatible with the surrounding residential uses. The home and associated out-buildings are similar
in bulk and scale to that of a residential lot of a similar size, and that coverage is less than what could
be developed at a base density of 4.86 units. No further additions or exterior modifications to the
buildings are proposed. Adequate capacity for water, sanitary sewer, storm drain and electric
facilities are already in place for the home and property. A second meter is placed on the property
which is devoted solely to irrigation. And with the Hersey/Wimer intersection realignment,
additional parking has been provided for the business across Hersey Street, which would generally
generate more traffic than the proposed use.
Staff received one letter from a neighbor who is not opposed to the use, but does not wish-to have
additional traffic, noise, or lighting on the unimproved portion of Lori Lane. The letter notes that I
increased traffic on the alley has resulted in illegally parked cars and directional congestion on an j
otherwise narrow alley. AMC 18.92.080.C.4.c states that if the site is served by an alley, then access j
for motor vehicles must be from the alley and not from the street frontage. The proposal as submitted
satisfies the parking demand and therefore is not required to gain access from the alley at this time.
However, a condition has been added that any increase of use which requires an additional demand
for parking be subject to a Site Review Permit and the requirements thereof.
The Historic Commission at their January 2°d meeting had no recommendations regarding the
application, and therefore approved the application as submitted. Overall staff feels that given
predominant location of the property, the use would bring vitality to the site more than a single
residential use, and that the proposal will have an overall benefit to the neighborhood by creating a
destination business that fits into the existing context of the neighborhood development pattern. In
summary, the request for a four-unit Traveler's Accommodation meets the approval criteria of the
Ashland Municipal Code.

considered in relation to the target use of the zone:
1. Similarity in scale, bulk, and coverage.
2. Generation of traffic and effects on surrounding streets. Increases in pedestrian, bicycle, and mass

PUBLIC HEARING;
PLANNING ACTION: 2012-01737
SUBJECT PROPERTY: 111 Coolidge
APPLICANT: Randall Wallace
DESCRIPTION: A Site Design Review Permit approval for multi-family development for three new dwelling
units and one converted structure, all less than 500 square feet; a Conditional Use Permit to convert an existing non-
conforming garage into a dwelling unit; an exception to the Site Design and Use Standards to install parking in
between buildings and the street; and an Exception to the Street Standards for more than one curb cut on a
residential lot. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Multi-family Residential ; ZONING: R-2; ASSESSOR'S
MAP: 391E 05DA TAX LOT: 5900
Chairman Shostrom verified that there was no exparte contact or conflict of interest. Ms. Gunter described the
project. Randy and Marianne Wallace, the owners, explained the apartment complex nearby and the non-residential
nature of the area was why they wanted to orient the unit to the inside of the lot instead of toward the street.
Chairman Shostrom did not like a blank wall facing the street and suggested clerestory or high set windows to

mitigate the problem. There were also questions regarding the siding and trim. When asked about the dormers, Mr.
Wallace said he had wanted them to be lower and wider, with beams and posts. He also explained the location of
the bike racks.
There being no further questions of the owners and no one in the audience wishing to speak, the public hearing was
closed.
The Historic Commission expressed concern about the proposed Exception to Site Design and Review Standards for
placement of the parking between the proposed buildings and Rock Street. The proposed setback of the new units is
not consistent with the facades of the adjacent historic buildings, and the design turns its back on the street frontage
and the does not provide orientation to the public right-of-way.
Recommend Approval of the proposed building elevation plans with the following design recommendations:
1) Revised building elevations and plans shall provide a well defined sense of entry. A minimum 4-foot X 4-foot
covered entry porch over the front doors of the units shall be provided with a 4-foot X 4-foot landing, posts and beam
supported roof where the decorative dormers are shown.
2) High windows shall be placed in converted garage structure to provide a rhythm of openings and sense of
orientation along the Rock Street frontage.
3) The front doors shall have rectangular (prairie or cottage style) glazing for the windows. The doors should be
preferably constructed of wood.
4) Smooth texture, 1"x6" Hardiplank siding with a minimum 6-inch exposure shall be used for the siding material.
5) The trim on the windows, doors and corner boards shall be 1"x4".

The preservation of Ashland's Nationally Recognized Historic Districts is in the public interest so that the legacy of
cultural, educational, aesthetic, economic and energy benefits are maintained for future generations.
w Review the Powers and Duties of the Commission to reflect the current sentiments of the commission, the
council and community while maintaining consistency with the adopted Historic Preservation Plan,
a The commission would encourage the Council to consider additional review of the most impacfful
modifications to Historic Contributing structures which currently have no review process. The modifications
of windows and doors, siding and roofing materials can unintentionally alter or destroy a building's
distinctive architectural features and erode the character of the district,
® Review of proposed demolition of the finite number of Historic Contributing structures. The continued
demolition and historically inappropriate remodels could endanger Ashland's historic districts and cause the
loss of the State and National recognition. Revitalization and reinvestment in the rehabilitation of the city's
historic resources is inherently sustainable. Restoration, rehabilitation and renovation of existing structures
reduces the amount of waste destined for landfill and retains the energy embodied in the historic structure.
0 Creation of a 'historical marker program'. Ashland lacks a display of the city's rich history and the creation of
historical markers could provide a link to the interesting past that made Ashland the successful cultural,
heritage, tourist economy it is today.
Brochures:
Chairman Shostrom researched Historic brochure designs with consultants George Kramer and Kim Fitzgerald and
shared some of the concepts with the other Commissioners. He asked about using incentives to motivate
homeowners to renovate. Ms. Gunter said the Commissioners should pull together the photos and verbiage they
want to use, contract with a graphic designer to put it together and review it with the historic consultants to verify the
accuracy and impact,

Two sub-committees were created to begin working on the Brochures and the Historic Markers programs:

Architect: Builder:
Other: Vernacular [Hipped-Roof Cottage] Historic Contributing
Nancy and E. B Curry purchased this property in 1893 and owned it for seven years before selling it to
Martin Swyter, Swyter, a native of Germany probably built the dwelling soon after purchase. Later
owners include William Songer, W. E. Chamberlain and C. H. Rodgers.
The Swyter House is a single-story volume with a pyramidal roof over the original volume and small
covered porch centered on the elevation. Siding in non-original shingle and this finish was replicated in
the historically compatible hipped wing that was built to augment the main volume in the 1990s. While
somewhat altered, the Swyter House nevertheless retains.sufficient integrity to relate its period of
construction.

PAYNE-PENTER HOUSE 1884/1910
348 MAIN ST N 391E05DA 2400
Other: Vernacular [I-House ] Historic Contributing
The initial one and one-half story vernacular volume of this dwelling is visible in an 1884 birdseye view
of Ashland and may have been built by early owners of the property. In January 1884 John Van Dyke
sold the site to David Payne for $1200, a sum indicating that the structure was in place. In 1900
longtime owners E. B and Nancy Curry sold the house to Martin Swyter.
Martin Swyter, who recently purchased E. B. Curry's residence on Main Street, has been making
additions and improvements which are now complete. (Ashland Tidings, 11-Jun-1900) -
Swyter, who also owned the property next door, soon sold the subject dwelling and by 1907 William
Penter, a prolific builder in Ashland was the owner. Two years later the Tidings noted that "W. H.
Penter adds substantial additions to his residence property on North Main Street." (Ashland Tidings,
25-Feb-1909, 1:3) Penter's work almost certainly resulted in the construction of bungalow-style gable-
roof front porch with oversized wood-frame support columns and bases. Penter retained the property
until 1922.
I
The wood-frame Payne-Penter House retains it original horizontal board siding, glazing and trim
detailing, accurately reflecting its serial construction and the intermingling of the vernacular and
bungalow forms. The Payne-Penter retains high integrity and effectively relates its historic period of
development.

FROM: Laura Williams; property owner at 307 W. Hersey St.; Ashland, OR 914r
SUBJ : Planning Action PA-2012-01674; Request to turn 348 N. Main
residence into a Traveler's Accommodation, with 3 west Units
I do not know the specifics of this request or the proposed operation here, but I
would not anticipate any problems long as the alley neighborhood on the
back i property is not negatively impacted with more
traffic,, noise, lii , etc.
My home is located on the back side of the subject property, across the narrow
alley; the house & bedrooms are only a few feet from the alley, so what goes on
there affects me significantly. I have owned my home for 18 years and want only
to live in peace and quiet here.
The increasing & speeding thoroughfare traffic on the alley has become more &
more problematic here and has caused aggravation in our neighborhood, and
damage to my property numerous times when cars try to pass each other in the
one-lane alley (either passing other moving cars going in the opposite direction or
cars parked illegally in the alley).
So, I would object to anything that will attract more traffic & noise in the alley,
including any driveways constructed with direct access to the alley, any parking of
cars along the alley, outside concerts, etc. Zeb & Candace, the property owners,
could help by discouraging their guests from using the alley, or disturbing the
peace & quiet of the alley neighborhood in any way. `those of us who live on the
alley only want to preserve & promote the livability & quiet enjoyment of our
neighborhood.
If I can provide any further information or answer any questions, please let me
know. (541-227-3550)
Thank you for this opportunity.

This is a request for a conditional use permit to convert an existing residence and habitable
outbuildings at 348 N. Main St, Ashland, to a four unit traveler's accommodation consisting of
three guest units and one owners' unit. At this time, our vision is a simple one. We'd like to
make the east bldg permanently available for guests, most particularly for people coming to
study at the Tibetan Buddhist temple three blocks South on Hersey and for people who come to -
study with us. The other two guest units (including all of the main house and the west bldg) will
generally remain part of the living and working accommodations of the owners, but would be
available occasionally, primarily as a compliment to our home-office occupations. We would
like to sometimes rent these units, and the east bldg, so people can come and stay with us
during study and healing. Our intent is to NOT make any impact on the nearby B & B inns that
currently serve OSF theater goers and other Ashland tourists so well, or to inhibit the intended
use and character of our neighborhood.
The traffic and parking impact of our vision for 348 N. Main St needs to be considered, -
as our property is located on the southeast corner of N. Main and Hersey, two primary arterial
roads. It is important to note that the recent Hersey/Weimer realignment increased available
curb parking along Hersey (on the north border of our property) from two spaces to four
parking spaces (106 feet of curb). The target for our area and local community is multi-family
use, yet there are no other households in our immediate vicinity, so the only home that
currently uses those new (and old) spaces for parking is our house. The commercial businesses
nearby are also not likely to be adversely affected by our proposal. As a result of the
realignment, Dr. Colwell's office has gained 4-5 new parking spaces for clients in an exclusive
parking lot entered via N. Main Street, and the small professionals mall north across Hersey
from the described curbside parking, each day appears to have sufficient parking spaces in its
own lot for the relatively light daily traffic. All of these commercial businesses impact local
traffic far more than our home-office businesses ever will.
When we purchased 348 N. Main St two years ago, we paid for a conference with Mike
Pena in City Planning to learn what the City of Ashland would allow us to do with our uniquely
districted property (please see A below). He showed us a number of ways the land might be _
developed, including an already mapped subdivision into three separate lots, and information
that indicated we possibly could put a small mall on the east portion (there is a professionals
mall across from us on Hersey). Instead, we desired to contribute to the multi-family and
historical character of the neighborhood and chose to develop the property for personal and
family use. The remodeling work took much longer and cost much more than we'd anticipated,
and now we find it necessary to use one of the remodeled outbuildings to generate income,
rather than for our personal use. We feel our actions concerning this property will continue to
be with the best intentions of creating and contributing to the historic character and feelings of -
family and community in our neighborhood.

Ashland, OR 97520
Conditional Use Permit -Traveler's Accommodation - 348 N. Main St., Ashland, OR
18.104 We have met with the Ashland Planning officials (especially Mike Pina) and they
have confirmed that this property complies with all standards within the zoning
district in which the land is located. In addition, we are in conformance with
relevant Comprehensive plan policies that are not implemented by any City, State,
or Federal law or program.
This is a request for a conditional use permit to convert an existing residence and out
buildings at 348 N. Main St, to a four unit traveler's accommodation consisting of three guest
units and one owners' unit. At this time, it is our intension to only make one of the structures
(the east bldg) available to guests. We are requesting three guest units so as not to limit our
options in the future. No changes to the existing structures or land are proposed.
A. 348 North Main street, the Payne-Penter house, is a historic structure (first deed
1884), which contributes to the designation of the historic district, but is not on
the historic register. The property is unique: the West portion is in the historic
district and the East portion is not. It is zoned for residential (R-2) & commercial.
1. Two of the proposed units ("west" bldg & "east" bldg) are buildings set on
the northern property line. However, these comply with set-back criteria as
they have been located thusly on the property for more than 50 years.
Neither building has a front door facing the street, but both are served by
individual walkways, from the sidewalk, that lead to their entrances.
2. The structures on the property cover (including sheds not for habitation) only
12% of the total land area. There is more than adequate solar exposure.
Additional coverage is as follows:
i. Structures: 12%
ii. Streets & Roads: 0
iii. Parking/Driveway: 0.027% = 460 sq ft
iv. Recreation Area: 0
v. Landscaping: 85%
vi. Parking spaces: 3 in the driveway, 106' on the street
vii. Sq ft Landscaped areas: approx 14000 sq ft.
viii. The gardens and yards are in process of landscaping &
planting.
B. Adequate capacity of city facilities for water, sewer, paved access to and through
the development, electricity, urban storm drainage, and adequate transportation
are provided to and through the subject property.
1. The property is served by City of Ashland water, with a second meter
devoted solely to landscaping water. The sewer system is connected to
City of Ashland facilities and has recently been inspected and approved.
There are new storm drains located along Hersey and Lori Lane alley as a
result of the Hersey/Weimer realignment. Electricity is provided by City
of Ashland and we elected to convert the lines to an underground system
last year (under the supervision of Dave Tygerson of the City).
2. The property is located on the corner of N. Main St. and Hersey St, both
of which are paved arterial roads. The driveway was recently resurfaced
i
I
I
i
during the Hersey/Weimer re-alignment, and property borders (N. Main
& Hersey) are served by sidewalks.
3. The primary entrance to the "east" bldg is located on the east wall and is
served by a concrete walkway leading from the sidewalk along Hersey St.
The primary entrance to the "west" bldg is located on the south wall and
is served via a concrete walkway that leads from the gate at the south
foot of the property's 3-car driveway.
C. The conditional use will have no greater adverse material effect on the livability
of the impact area when compared to the development of the subject lot with
the target use of the zone. When evaluating the effect of the proposed use on
the impact area, the following factors of livability of the impact area have been
considered in relation to the target use of the zone:
1. Similarity in scale, bulk, and coverage. This property is unique to the
corner upon which it sits. It has been here for more than 100 years. To
the north are commercial properties; to the west, south, and east are
multi-family residences. There are several bed & breakfast facilities
within 300 feet. We do not intend to make any changes that will affect
the scale, bulk, or coverage.
2. Generation of traffic and effects on surrounding streets by the project is
insignificant. The realignment of Hersey/Weimer has created 3 new
parking spaces along Hersey Street, as well as providing businesses in the
area more space in their private parking lots. There are no other
residences close-by who use this area for parking.
3. Architectural compatibility (see 1. Above). Also, the remodeling of
established out buildings and the construction of sheds that have taken
place in the past 2 years have all been with the approval and guidance of
the City of Ashland and the Historical Society.
4. Air quality will not be affected in any way. There will be no dust, odors, or
other environmental pollutants.
5. Generation of noise, light, and glare. All buildings are thoroughly
insulated to contain heat and noise, and all windows have proper
coverings to minimize excess light and glare. Exterior lighting is subdued
and tasteful.
6. We have no intention of developing adjacent properties as we don't own
them.
7. At this time we know of no other factors that could be found relevant by
the Hearing Authority.
18.72
A. All applicable City ordinance have been met. We have worked closely with City
officials over the past two years to comply with all requirements for habitable
structures. We also obtained permits for our fencing, sheds, and walkways and comply
with all City of Ashland requirements.
B. All requirements of the Site Review Chapter have been met. All work on the property
has met permit requirements.
C. The property complies with the Site Review standards, particularly in regards to:
1. Landscaping: 82% of the property is landscaped or in the process of being
landscaped.
2. We have an existing driveway that is 26.5 feet wide and 19 feet long on the
property and an additional approximately 20 feet of driveway access that was added by
the City of Ashland as a result of the Hersey/Weimer realignment.
3. We have planted street trees and shrubs along the new sidewalk and land that
was added with the Hersey/Weimer realignment. The plants and trees are in compliance
with vegetation as recommended by the City of Ashland.
D. The property has adequate water, sewer, and paved access as per City requirements.
All changes in water, sewer, and pavement have been done with permits, are complete,
and have passed inspection.
18.24.030
1. Residences for traveler's accommodation are business-owner occupied:
Owners of record are Candace Cave & Richard Guches (unrecorded owner is Zeb
Lancaster). Mr. Lancaster currently resides fulltime on the property; although the property is
her primary residence, Ms. Cave currently resides parttime (4-5 days a week). Ms. Cave will
manage the property and will reside full time whenever guests are in residence.
2. The property supports adequate parking for the proposed units. The existing driveway
accommodates two standard and one compact parking space (the compact space may not be
allowable as the driveway abuts the 'west' bldg and does not provide the require screening
vegetation, but it was pre-exisiting). There are also 4 available standard parking spaces along
the 106 feet of curb on Hersey St.
3. At this time, we have no intention of displaying a sign. If and when we decide to
install a sign, it will be of wood, no larger than 6 sq ft, and will be placed at the northeast corner
of the property, abutting the corner fence post, and facing so the signage can be read from the
north and south.
4. We are requesting 4 units, including the owner's unit. The east and west bldgs each
are 400 sq ft; the main house (which includes the owners unit downstairs) is 450 sq ft upstairs
(one unit) and 860 sq ft. downstairs.
5. The primary house was built in 1884; the west bldg in 1907; the east bldg in the
1930s. j
8. The house is located directly on N. Main Street and Hersey Street, both arterial
streets.
