PLANNING ACTION: PA-2013-01669
SUBJECT PROPERTY: 247 Otis
APPLICANT: Gil Livini / UDS
DESCRIPTION: A request for Modification of the previously approved plan for the
open space/wetland area located on the western edge of the Helman Springs subdivision located
at 247 Otis Street. The revised plan preserves the existing wetland, but does not expand, it as
originally proposed. Instead, the open space area. outside the wetland boundary will be

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Single-family Residential; ZONING: R-1-5;

SUBMITTAL DATE: October 30, 2013
DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: November 15, 2013
STAFF APPROVAL DATE: December 4, 2013
APPEAL DEADLINE: December 16, 2013
FINAL DECISION DATE: December 17, 2013
APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: December 17, 2014
DECISION:
The subject property is located north of Otis Street, west of Elizabeth Avenue, and is the
westernmost parcel within the Helman Springs subdivision. The approximate 41,000 square foot
property is the largest parcel of open space in the subdivision, and contains a delineated wetland
as identified on local and state inventories. The property and surrounding uses are zoned R-1-5,
and are established single-family homes.
The application proposes to amend the project's previously approved open space plan by
preserving the existing wetland, but not expand it as originally approved (PA-2007-00455).
Instead, the applicant proposes to utilize the approximately 8,700 square foot area south of the
identified wetland as a more `active' open space with landscaping, benches, and pathways.
The original plan proposed to expand the delineated wetland slightly uphill to the south, thus.
mitigating the loss of other smaller wetlands on-site into one large wetland with artificial water
(both irrigation and storm run-off) designed to serve the upland area. At that time, the applicant
felt loss of the smaller wetlands would be best mitigated by expanding the larger wetland on-site.
This plan would have effectively prohibited people from interacting/entering the open space,
thus rendering it unusable by the residents.
The current applicant argues this plan was not feasible due to the area being uphill from the
existing wetland, and required, unnecessary watering systems to mitigate the loss of the smaller
wetlands. In addition,. when consulting with the Oregon Department of State Lands and the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, both agencies agreed that a monetary credit purchase into a larger
wetland mitigation bank would be a better solution for small-scale wetland impacts since on-site
mitigation would have likely had significant problems.

a. The number of dwelling units vary no more than ten (10%) percent of those shown on the approved outline plan, but in no case shall
the number of units exceed those permitted in the outline plan.
b. The yard depths and distances between main buildings vary no more than ten (10%) percent of those shown on the approved outline
plan, but in no case shall these distances be reduced below the minimum established within this Title.
c. The open spaces vary no more than ten (10%) percent of that provided on the outline plan.
d. The building size does not exceed the building size shown on the outline plan by more than ten (10%) percent,
e. The building elevations and exterior materials are in conformance with the purpose and intent of this Title and the approved outline
plan.
f. That the additional standards which resulted in the awarding of bonus points in the outline plan approval have been included in the final
plan with substantial detail to ensure that the performance level committed to in the outline plan will be achieved.

Michael,
As I did yesterday with the revised wetland and open space planting plan, I'm forwarding this e-mail to you from Bob Lobdell,
Division of State Lands, per our conversation yesterday at the counter in order to continue to clarify any remaining matters staff
may have on the issue in order to expedite the process and move towards a resolution for Gil Livni. As I stated yesterday, the
Civil Penalty noted was not really a typical violation one would assume with a wetland violation as the only violation herein was
due to an expiration of the original permit. Regardless, the issue is now completely resolved as Gil minutes ago paid the penalty
with his visa. I'll have the final addendum request into staff this afternoon, but please let me know if there are other issues.
Thanks and see you shortly. - Mark

Hi Gil,
Per our conversation this morning I have talked with Bill Ryan, DSL Assistant Director regarding your civil penalty and closure of
your enforcement file 7350-ENF.
I have reviewed your request for reduction of civil penalty and have discussed this with DSL upper management and have
received approval to proceed with resolving this violation case. We agree to reduce the P factor to al. We do not agree to
change the I factor which will remain a 3. This means that the civil penalty was reduced from 6000.00 to 3000.00 and is
payable anytime.
You have already provided proof of purchase of mitigation credits to offset the loss from the project/violation so nothing else
needs to be done with regards to wetlands compensation.
Please pay the 3000.00 civil penalty upon receipt of this email. You can either pay by check or by visa if you wish. If by visa,
just ask how and I'll put you to my assistant for instructions. If you pay by check, reference enforcement file 7350-ENF on the
check.
Once the civil penalty payment in the amount of 3000.00 is received, DSL will close this enforcement file. Please forward this
email to the City of Ashland so your building permits may be issued, there shouldn't be any need to hold that up since the
wetlands are filled and are going to stay filled.
I would be happy to contact the city for you just give me a name and number.
Thanks,
Robert Lobdell

Hi Gil,
See attached civil penalty worksheet, if you feel the civil penalty is excessive please provide a request for reduction in civil
penalty and provide your rationale of why.
The civil penalty calculation works out to a 6000.00 civil penalty.
I will take your request to DSL management for consideration prior to finalizing the resolution of this violation.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is proposing a modification of the project's open space,
specifically the wetland area. The wetland area, as illustrated in the attached exhibit, is delineated by
a bold meandering line and internally hatched. The original plan was to extend the wetlands to the
south along Otis Street and to also completely alter the wetland's design and make-up, but as
described by the project's Biologist, Mike Horscher, this plan was deemed "not feasible" primarily
due to the fact the expansion area was "up-slope", there is not enough natural hydrology to
accommodate the expanded area and the re-contouring of the delineated wetland was not only
deemed inappropriate to the wetland's natural existence, but that it likely would have removed
hydrology and hydrophytic vegetation in some areas.
That said, the proposed modification is two-fold and proposes to: 1) Retain the "natural" wetland
area and improve it by removing the noxious and invasive plants and replant with native plants
conducive to wetland vegetation and for the site's aesthetic enhancement goals. 2) Replant the non-
natural open space areas between Otis Street and the delineated natural wetland and between Randy
Street and the smaller non-natural open space area east of the two closest abutting homes. These two
areas outside the natural wetlands are intended to be more "useable" space and could accommodate a
variety of activities such as dog walking or playing catch off-street. The plan identifies two sitting
benches on each end of the wetland and although not identified, the applicant intends to install a
doggie bag dispenser off the sidewalk for the neighborhood's many dog walkers. The proposed plan
also includes a 20' buffer area around the perimeter of the natural wetlands, between the wetlands
and the active area described above, by planting an upland groundcover mix that does not need
fertilizers or heavy maintenance once established.
The proposed planting plan has also been vetted by a majority of the adjoining property owners and
some tenants during the week of October 21St to October 25th where an on-site meeting was held and
the proposal explained. All participants were very positive about the plan, as well as the
development, but for those who owned or lived along the open space's west property line, they were
adamant that no additional trees, other than those shown on the proposed planting plan, be planted
along their shared property line in order to minimize maintenance and to retain natural light and
views. Overall, the neighbors were very much supportive of the modifications.
Finally, it should be noted the proposal to not expand into non-natural wetland areas (upland areas)
was intended as a mitigation measure for filled wetlands associated with the extension of Drager
Street which totaled .2 acres or roughly 8,700 square feet. As pointed out by the project's Biologist
in the attached memorandum, the proposal wasn't feasible for a variety of reasons. However, the
applicant still mitigated the fill in early 2013 by purchasing $45,000 worth of wetland credits in the
Rogue Valley wetland mitigation bank (Corps of Engineer File No. NWP-2006-833/1 / Division of
State Lands No. 49090) which is often stated by environmental regulators as having more influence
and impact on the area's wildlife and ecosystem when compared to small pocket wetlands.
Nevertheless, the applicant and project Biologist contend the current proposal fixes a previously
flawed plan, retains the site's natural wetlands, enhances the site's natural wetlands,-adds wetlands to
31 P
1
the Rogue Valley and creates more useable park land for the project's neighbors. In this vein, the
applicant contends the proposal is superior from the previous plan.
II. FINDINGS OF FACT:
Criteria for Approval:
Final plan approval shall be granted upon finding of substantial conformance with the outline plan.
Nothing in this provision shall limit reduction in the number of dwelling units or increased open space
provided that, if this is done for one phase, the number of dwelling units shall not be transferred to
another phase, nor the open space reduced below that permitted in the outline plan. This substantial
conformance provision is intended solely to facilitate the minor modifications from one planning step to
another. Substantial conformance shall exist when comparison of the outline plan with the final plan
shows that:
a. The number of dwelling units vary no more than ten (10%) percent of those shown on the approved
outline plan, but in no case shall the number of units exceed those permitted in the outline plan.
The proposed modification request does not alter the subdivision's density as the request is for a partial
redesign of the subdivision's open space.
b. The yard depths and distances between main buildings vary no more than ten (10%) percent of those
shown on the approved outline plan, but in no case shall these distances be reduced below the minimum
established within this Title.
The proposed modification request does not alter the subdivision's planned building envelopes as the
request is for a partial redesign of the subdivision's open space. Further, no new buildings are being
proposed with the request,
c. The open spaces vary no more than ten (10%) percent of that provided on the outline plan.
The subdivision's open space area is not decreasing or increasing beyond the original Outline Plan, but
instead the proposal is for a partial redesign of its planned open space area which will include retaining
the site's "natural" wetland area(s) and improving the wetlands by removing the noxious and
invasive plants and replant with native plants conducive to wetland vegetation. This is consistent
with the intent of the original plan and will enhance the site's aesthetics and wetland attributes.
Further, the proposal includes a request to deviate from the original planting and enhancement plan
that previously considered expanding the wetland into "upland" areas along the Otis Street sidewalk.
For reasons identified and explained in detail within the attached memorandum by Mike Holscher,
Keystone Natural Resource Consulting, the Project's Biologist, the applicant proposes to retain the
wetlands and replant as described above, but instead of expanding into non-wetland area, the open
4 ~t age
space would be converted to more "useable" space that could accommodate a variety of activities
such as dog walking or playing catch off-street. The plan identifies two sitting benches on each end
of the wetland and although not identified, the applicant intends to install a doggie bag dispenser off
the sidewalk for the neighborhood's many dog walkers. The proposed plan also includes a 20' buffer
area around the perimeter of the natural wetlands, between the wetlands and the active area described
above, by planting an upland groundcover mix that does not need fertilizers or heavy maintenance
once established.
Other: a) The site's second wetland, identified on Tax Lot #403, will remain without modification,
other than what was previously approved with the Final Plan. This area too will have its
noxious and invasive plants removed and replanted per the original planting plan.
b) All improvements as described above will occur immediately in accordance with the City's
Stream and Wetland Enhancement Guide as well as stipulations allowed under the statute for
Certain Voluntary Habitat Restoration Activities.
d The building size does not exceed the building size shown on the outline plan by more than ten (10%)
percent.
As noted, the proposed modification request does not alter the subdivision's planned building envelopes
as the request is for a partial redesign of the subdivision's open space. Further, no new buildings are being
proposed with the request.
e. The building elevations and exterior materials are in conformance with the purpose and intent of this
Title and the approved outline plan.
The proposed modification request does not propose altering building elevations or building materials.
f. That the additional standards which resulted in the awarding of bonus points in the outline plan
approval have been included in the final plan with substantial detail to ensure that the performance level
committed to in the outline plan will be achieved.
No density bonus points were proposed or awarded with the Outline Plan proposal. The base density was
19.53 units and the request was for 18 homes (17 new).
g. The development complies with the Street Standards.
All streets have been completed under the supervision of the City's Engineering and Public Works
Departments. The proposed modifications are for the site's open space areas and do not alter the public
streets or sidewalk systems.

Subject: Magnolia Investment, LLC - Helman Springs Development
Magnolia Investment, LLC (Magnolia) purchased the Helman Springs Development from Sage
Development. At that time all state and federal removal/fill permits were transferred to Magnolia,
and were valid. In the interim while obtaining local permits, both the Oregon Department of State
Lands (ODSL) and US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) removal/ fill permits expired.
Meanwhile, Magnolia commenced with infrastructure build-out and home construction. In 2011
upon the expiration of the removal/fill permits, Magnolia was contacted by letter that their permits
had expired, wetlands were filled and compensatory mitigation construction had not been
completed. Mitigation construction is required to be completed prior to or concurrent with
development. This put Magnolia in an enforcement action due to the violation of the removal/fill
law.
Magnolia sought out professional consultation to resolve the issues with ODSL and USACE. The
first action was to update the expired wetland delineation and calculate that actual area of wetland
filled by the development. The delineation was concurred with in August 2012.
The USACE-deals with non-permitted fill with an "after-the-fact" removal/fill permit and the
ODSL opens an enforcement file on the project. When drafting the new application it was
discovered that the compensatory wetland mitigation plan was completely not feasible. The plan
was to create wetlands south and uphill from two springs on the Helman Springs site's west edge.
This discovery was pointed out to both ODSL and USACE and both agencies agreed that a credit
purchase in the Rogue Valley wetland mitigation bank was a good solution for wetland impact
mitigation since onsite mitigation would have failed.
In 2012 an updated removal/fill application was submitted to the USACE for review. The USACE
issued a new permit on January 11, 2013. As part of the temporal loss penalty, Magnolia placed the
non-impacted wetland at the west edge of the Helman Springs Development in a conservation
easement. ODSL also received the information sent to the USACE as part of their enforcement
review and agreed with the proposed actions of buying mitigation credits in place of a flawed
mitigation plan. ODSL has sent the final civil penalty letter to Magnolia. When that payment has
been made ODSL will close the enforcement file and send a letter to Magnolia noting the closure of
the file.
4s ,Ey
Currently, the City is asking Magnolia to implement the original wetland mitigation plan or provide
an equal plan. Magnolia's current agreement with ODSL and USACE provided mitigation though
mitigation bank credits. Therefore no onsite wetland grading is currently permitted. There is an
exemption in the removal/fill law that allows for "Certain Voluntary Habitat Restoration Activities."
This allows for vegetation planting of native woody and herbaceous plants by hand or mechanized
means. No ground alteration, such as grading and contouring, is allowed (see attachment).
Because of this limitation, the old mitigation plan has been modified to comply with the 2011 City
plan. The following actions will occur;
1) The uplands to the south of the existing wetland (Figure 1) will not be converted to wetland.
This area is upgradient of the water source and cannot support wetland hydrology and
hydrophytic vegetation. This area will be treated as described in Action 4 and Figure 1.
2) All City listed noxious and invasive plants west of Drager Street will be removed.
3) Any barren areas created from noxious /invasive species removal will be replanted with
natives (see Figure 1 for details)
4) An updated tree, shrub and groundcover planting plan has been designed to provide
enhancement for the entire area (Figure 1).
5) Two observation areas will be created to encourage public awareness of urban wetlands; this
includes bark mulch paths, benches, signage and pet waste stations.
For best results, all plantings should be completed in the fall. Monitor the site the following spring
and summer for invasive species and spot treat as needed with Rodeo or other aquatic friendly
herbicide. The uplands will likely need supplemental watering during the first summer, possibly into
the second summer. The species chosen are draught tolerant, but watering will increase survival
rates. The City of Ashland "Stream and Wetland Enhancement Guide" provides guidance for a
successful planting plan implementation.
