Pioneer APPLICANT: Umpqua Bank DESCRIPTION: A request for a Tree Removal Permit approval to remove two Birch trees greater than six inches in Diameter at Breast Height, located in the circular planter area in front of the building located at 250 North Pioneer. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: R-2/E-1; ZONING: Residential/Employment; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 lE 09BA TAX LOT: 13400 SUBMITTAL DATE: September 24, 2013 DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: September 25, 2013 STAFF APPROVAL DATE: October 11, 2013 APPEAL DEADLINE DATE: October 23, 2013 FINAL DECISION DATE: October 24, 2013 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: October 24, 2014 DECISION The subject property is a located east of North Pioneer, in between A and B streets, and is currently the site of Umpqua Bank. The approximate 33,425 square feet parcel is split-zoned between Residential (R-2) and Employment (E-1) uses. The lot is mostly covered with impervious surfaces, however has 10 trees on site, and approximately 2,240 square feet of lawn adjacent to Pioneer Street. The applicant proposes to remove a cluster of dying Birch trees located in the circular planter area in front of the bank's entrance. A certified Arborist has inspected the trees and presented a report to the Planning Division. The arborist report, submitted by Byron Jones of Tree-Mend-Us, noted severe crown dieback, likely caused by girdling roots, neglect, and/or improper care. Furthermore, the remaining portion of the live crown are insufficient to allow for proper pruning for a structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing tree, therefore recommends removal and replaced by a species more appropriate for the location. The City of Ashland Tree Commission reviewed the proposal at their October 3, 2013 regular meeting. In deliberating the request, the Commission noted that the current trees are beyond saving due to the lack of attention they have received. However, the approximate 154 square foot planter is large enough to sustain a larger stature tree, rather than a cluster of smaller trees. Therefore, the Commission recommends that a single, native, deciduous tree be chosen as a mitigation tree, with a minimum caliper of 2-inches, in addition to having the existing irrigation system be verified that it is working properly. Overall Staff believes that removal of the trees will not have an adverse impact on-site, nor in the surrounding neighborhood as there is a mix of existing tree canopies and densities in the immediate vicinity. Therefore, with the conditions of approval below, staff approves of the removal request. PA #2013-01438 250 N. Pioneer/MP Page 1 The criteria for a Tree Removal Permit are described in AMC Chapter 18.61.080, as follows: 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 may 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 all 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 rernoval 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 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 mill not have a significant negative impact on erosion, soil stability, flotiv of surface waters, protection of adjacent trees, or existing windbreaks; and 3. Removal of the tree ivill 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. br 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. Planning Action 2013-01438 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 2013-01438 is denied. The following are the conditions and they are attached to the approval: 1) That all proposals of the applicant shall be conditions of approval unless otherwise modified here. 2) That mitigation shall consist of a minimum 2-inch caliper, native, deciduous tree that will achieve a similar or greater stature and size once mature. The tree shall be planted within a 180 days from the date of this approval. PA #2013-01438 250 N.

The remaining trees are to be protected in place. The applicants have requested to utilize orange construction fencing to provide required tree fencing where the ordinance standard calls for six-foot chain link fence, as they believe that comparable protection can be provided while providing a greater measure of flexibility to accommodate the nature and scale of the site work proposed. In deliberating the request, the Tree Commission expressed concern that contractors do not exhibit the same level of care for standard plastic construction fencing as they would for chain link fencing, and that the nature and scale of the site work proposed called for a further measure of protection. Therefore the Commission accordingly recommended that each of the tree trunks be further protected by wrapping them in wire supported by two-by-four lumber. Therefore, Roland motioned, and Trunnell seconded, that the application be approved as submitted, with the changes as recommended to the staff advisor. PLANNING ACTION: 2013-01398 SUBJECT PROPERTY: 37 Shamrock Ln. APPLICANT: American Mini Storage / Tompkins DESCRIPTION: A request for a Tree Removal Permit approval to remove a 10.6 DBH Cottonwood tree located within the riparian corridor of Cemetery Creels, located at 37 Shamrock Lane. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: E-l; ZONING: Employment; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 lE l ODD TAX LOT: 500 All members visited the site, and cited no ex parte contacts. Staff liaison Pina presented the staff report. The subject property is mini storage business located north of Ashland Street, directly adjacent to Mountain View Cemetery. The site has Cemetery Creek and its riparian corridor running along the west side of the property, where the two, dead, 20-inch DBH Poplar trees are located along the stream bank. Although the trees are clearly lifeless, the removal of significant trees within the riparian corridor requires a Tree Removal Permit. In deliberating the request, the commission noted that Poplars are inherently weak and not suitable as wildlife snags. However, due to their proximity to the creels bank, removal of the stump would cause significant damage to the riparian corridor. Therefore, the Commission recommended that the stump(s) remain at approximately three to four feet above grade. The applicant has proposed to mitigate removal by planting a Cyprus tree in the same location. However the Tree Commission noted that Cyprus trees are not appropriate for the riparian environment, and therefore recommended that mitigation be achieved by choosing one of the options listed in AMC 18.61.084. Therefore, Roland motioned, and Trunnell seconded, that the application be approved as submitted, with the changes as recommended to the staff advisor. PLANNING ACTION: PA-2013-01438 SUBJECT PROPERTY: 250 N. Pioneer APPLICANT: Umpqua Bank DESCRIPTION: A request for a Tree Removal Permit approval to remove two Birch trees greater than six inches in Diameter at Breast Height, located in the circular planter area in front of the building located at 250 North Pioneer. r 2 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: R-2/E-1; ZONING: Residential/Employment; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 lE 09BA TAX LOT: 13400 All members visited the site, and cited no ex paste contacts. Staff liaison Pina presented the staff report. The subject property is a bank located east of North Pioneer, between A and B streets. The lot has 10 trees on site, and approximately 2,240 square feet of lawn adjacent to Pioneer Street. The applicant proposes to remove a cluster of dying Birch trees located in the circular planter area in front of the bank's entrance. An arborist report noted severe crown dieback, likely caused by girdling roots, neglect, and/or improper care. Furthermore, the remaining portion of the live crown are insufficient to allow for proper pruning for a structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing tree, therefore recommends removal and replaced by a species more appropriate for the location. In deliberating the request, the Commission noted that the current trees are beyond saving due to the lack of attention. However, the approximate 154 square foot planter is large enough to sustain a larger stature tree, rather than a cluster of smaller trees. Therefore, the Commission recommends that a single, native, deciduous tree be chosen as a mitigation tree, with a minimum caliper of 2-inches, in addition to having the existing irrigation system be verified that it is working properly. Therefore, Roland motioned, and Trunnell seconded, that the application be approved as submitted, with the changes as recommended to the staff advisor. PLANNING ACTION: PA-2013-01440 SUBJECT PROPERTY: 346 East Main St. APPLICANT: AmeriTitle DESCRIPTION: A request for a Tree Removal Permit approval to remove a 10-inch DBH Modesto Ash tree that has a dead crown and leaning towards the building located at 346 East Main Street. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: C-1; ZONING: Commercial; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 lE 09BD TAX LOT: 6101 All members visited the site, and cited no ex parte contacts. Staff liaison Pina presented the staff report. The subject property is a downtown office building located south of East Main Street, between Second and Gresham Streets. There is a small area of established landscaping around the perimeter of the building, including the subject 10-inch Modesto Ash at the rear of the building with a significant lean towards the building. The arborist report noted deadwood within the sparse crown, and possible root girdling evidenced by the lack of root flare. Furthermore, the tree is significantly leaning towards the building, and if left as is, can reach a height of 70 feet with a crown spread of 60 feet, therefore potentially causing more damage to the historic structure. In deliberating the request, the Commission noted severe inclusion on the trunk, and that this particular species is highly susceptible to disease, and therefore supports the removal request. The Commission also noted that the landscape area in which the tree is located should easily accommodate a moderately sized tree, and that smaller caliper trees tend to be more susceptible to sun scold due to their thin bark, especially in parking lot environments. Therefore, the Commission recommended approving the tree removal permit, with a recommendation that the 1, C l _ 3 CITY 0- Planning Department, 51 Wind Way, Ashland, Oregon 97520 - y 541-488-5305 Fax: 541-552-2050 www,ashland.or.us TTY: 1-800-735-2900°- j NOTICE OF APPLICATION PLANNING ACTION: 2013-01438 SUBJECT PROPERTY: 250 North Pioneer OWNER/APPLICANT: Umpqua Bank DESCRIPTION: A request for a Tree Removal Permit approval to remove two Birch trees greater than six inches in Diameter at Breast Height, located in the circular planter area in front of the building located at 250 North Pioneer.

This causes a safety concern for pedestrians and parked cars in the area. The remaining portions of live crown are, in my opinion, insufficient to allow proper pruning for a structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing tree. This group of trees will be replaced by a species more appropriate to the location. Thankyou Bryon.
