ASHLAND PLANNING DIVISION
FINDINGS & ORDERS
PLANNING ACTION: PA-2014-00452
SUBJECT PROPERTY: 99 Wimer St.
APPLICANT: Irene Augsburger
DESCRIPTION: A request for a Conditional Use and Site Review Permit approvals
to utilize a portion of the existing home as a two-unit Travelers Accommodation,.with one guest-
unit and one owner's unit within the existing residence at 99 Wimer Street.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Low-Density Multi-Family; ZONING: R-2;
ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 lE 05DA; TAX LOTS: 8000
INITIAL SUBMITTAL: March 24, 2014
DEEMED COMPLETE: April 1, 2014
STAFF APPROVAL: May 8, 2014
APPEAL DEADLINE (4:30 P.M.): May 21, 2014
FINAL DECISION: May 22, 2014
APPROVAL EXPIRATION: May 22, 2015
DECISION
The subject property is located at 99 Wimer Street, a 0.37 acre rectangular lot on the northeast
coiner of the intersection of Wimer and Rock Streets. The property has 100 feet of frontage
along Rock Street to the west, and 161 feet of frontage along Wimer Street to the south. The
subject property is zoned R-2 (Low Density, Multi-Family Residential) and is located with the
Skidmore Academy Historic District. The subject property has a six to seven-percent slope
downhill to the east, and contains a number of mature trees. The application notes that there are
also established bushes, flowers, herbs, fruits and vegetables throughout the property.
According to county records, the existing home on the property is a 3,669 square foot single-
story residence with a basement. The Skidmore Academy Historic District survey document
notes that the home, designated as the John E. and Fern Walker House, was built around 1943,
and is considered to be a Historic Contributing Resource in the district. The home is described
as, "...essentially a single-story gable volume, augmented with a projecting gable on the south-
facing (Rock Street) elevation, A second intersecting gable expands to the east and the main
entry is located at the. ell. It is not entirely clear what the original configuration of the house
was, whether the second gable is an addition or original construction, or if the first gable is a
modified porch. Nevertheless, with original siding, glazing and other details, the Walker House
retains sufficient integrity to relate its original period of construction at the end of the period of
significance."
The application materials provided note that the current owner purchased the home in 1997, and
explain that the home has been divided into two units, with the main (owner's) unit accessible
from the main entrance on Wimer Street and the other unit to be a single Traveler's
Accommodation unit also accessible from Wimer Street. The application materials explain that
PA-2014-00452
99 Wimer StAds
Page 1
i
there are two off-street parking spaces available in the garage of the home, and that two
additional on-street parking spaces are available along Wimer Street.
The application explains that the owner's unit and a single guest unit will be contained within the
existing home, and that all necessary utilities are already in place. There are to be no changes to
the building or property with the proposal. The application also suggests that, due to the
proximity to the city center, pedestrian and bicycle transportation are likely to be the most
utilized by guests and that traffic impacts to the neighborhood will thus be minimized.
The application emphasizes that the Traveler's Accommodation is to be business-owner
occupied as required by code, and has been since it was purchased in 1997. Two parking spaces
are to be provided on site, with two additional spaces available on street, exceeding the three
spaces which are required. The accommodation provides more than 400 square feet of interior
floor space for the guest unit; the unit is more than 20 years old, and the property fronts on a
collector street as required in the approval criteria. The application notes that the applicant is
aware of the limitations on signage and will comply with requirements to obtain required annual
Health Department inspections.
Conditional approval of Traveler's Accommodations involves allowing a low-impact
commercial use within a residential neighborhood, and these approvals have historically come
with requirements that the subject properties address any outstanding site issues such as deferred
maintenance of landscaping. In this instance, in visiting the site staff has noted that the existing
.hedge has become overgrown and there is some heavy seasonal weed growth between this hedge
and the curb along both street frontages. A condition of approval has accordingly been included
below to require that the applicant provide a plan for pruning, weeding and maintaining the
landscaping for review of the Staff Advisor, and that this plan be implemented, prior to
commencement of the Traveler's Accommodation use in keeping with the standards for hedges
(AMC 18.68.010), vision-clearance (AMC 18.68.020), and maintenance of site landscaping in a
weed-free condition (18.72.160).
According to internet listings where the proposed Traveler's Accommodation was advertised
prior to requesting Conditional Use Permit approval, it was noted that kitchen cooking facilities
'had been added to the existing garage. According to city and county records, there is no
evidence of the necessary land use approvals or building permits being obtained for this
conversion from garage to habitable space or for the creation of a second unit which would be
necessary to have separate cooking facilities. The subject property has adequate area to
accommodate an additional unit based on the allowed R-2 density, and the application
demonstrates that with the two parking spaces available in the driveway and two on-street
credits, adequate parking is available to accommodate two units. In staff's view, the property
meets the applicable Site Review requirements for a second unit, and a condition has accordingly
been included below to require that the kitchen either be removed, or the necessary permits and
inspections obtained and fees and charges paid to formalize conversion of the space into a legal,
second unit. Conversion would require obtaining a building permit, providing at least a one-hour
fire separation between units, installing a separate electric service with meter, and paying all
permit fees and charges including all system development charges for a second unit.

Subsequent to the mailing of a Notice of Complete Application to neighbors, a neighboring
property owner submitted comments suggesting that the use of the subject property as a vacation
rental has been a long-term neighborhood problem, noting that the accommodation has
previously been advertised as having a four-unit rental capacity. The neighbor notes that with
the rental of multiple rooms, there are significant parking impacts to the neighborhood and that
he has concerns about the single guest-unit accommodation requested being a "fig-leaf' to
legitimize what will remain at least a four-unit operation. A number of photos of cars with out-
of-state plates along the property's Wimer Street frontage are provided to support these concerns.
The neighbor notes that parking impacts to the neighborhood are exacerbated by there being no
on-street parking allowed on the south side of Wimer Street, by the applicant's direction to her
guests not to use the off-street parking in the driveway, and instead park on street, and by the
placement of an unauthorized no-parking sign on street by the applicant forcing on-street parking
toward the neighbors' properties and impacting access to the mailbox, preventing mail deliveries,
and - with the placement of parked cars directly opposite some driveways - making delivery
vehicle circulation difficult. He indicates that while he would support a single guest-unit
Traveler's Accommodation, he believes that enforcement `of such a limitation would be difficult
for the city and that with approval, the parking problems are likely to continue.
For staff, there seem to be two key issues with the proposal based on the concerns raised by the
neighbor. First, there appears to be a history of use of the property with up to four guest units
and a concern that the applicant will not limit the use to the single guest unit she now proposes.
Second, the neighbor suggests that with multiple guest units and direction to guests to rely on on-
street parking spaces on Wimer Street, the parking impacts of the proposal are shifted from the
subject property and onto the neighborhood.
In terms of the number of units allowed, conditions have been included below to make clear that
the approval is limited to only the one guest-unit and one owner's unit proposed in the
application, and to require that an inspection be completed to ensure that the proposal complies
with all applicable codes prior to the commencement of the use, and to allow for periodic
inspections for compliance thereafter. Any increase in the number of units would require first
obtaining approval of a modification of the currently proposed Conditional Use Permit, and
modifications of the approved use without first receiving the requisite approval could trigger
enforcement action and/or revocation of the approval.
With regard to parking, while the "Parking Access and Circulation" Chapter (AMC 18.92)
generally provides for on-street parking credits, the fact that the proposal involves a Conditional
Use Permit allows for a look beyond the number of spaces required and credits available and into
the impacts of the proposed use, including parking, on the surrounding neighborhood. The
applicant has proposed to utilize an on-street parking credit on Wimer Street, an arterial, to
address a portion of her off-street parking requirements, with two spaces to be provided off-street
and the third required space provided through a credit. The on-street parking credit allowances
in AMC 1.8.92.050 provide that, "The amount of off-street parking required shall be reduced
by... one off-street parking space credit for every one on-street parking space." However, for
parking spaces to be claimed as on-street parking credits on arterial streets like Wimer Street, the
spaces may only be credited where the arterial is greater in width than the minimum width
requirements established by the City of Ashland's Street Standards. In this instance, the
PA-2014-00452
99 Wimer StAds
Page 3
t,
minimum curb-to-curb width requirement for an arterial street is 32 feet and Wimer Street is
presently only improved to a 25-foot in width. As such, no on-street parking credits are available
to be claimed on the property's Wimer Street frontage. Rock Street is a neighborhood street with
on-street parking available, and the applicant has at least 44 feet of uninterrupted curb frontage
which could be claimed as two on-street parking credits.
The issues raised by the neighbor are illustrative of the impacts a Conditional Use Permit is
intended to consider, and given Wimer's slope and the presence of cars accelerating downhill,
the street's limited width and resultant constraints on on-street parking and parking credits, the
presence of a mailbox serving neighboring properties, and the proposal being based solely on
off-street parking and on-street credits on Rock Street, staff has included conditions of approval
below to minimize these impacts including that the unauthorized ``no parking" sign placed on the
applicant's gate along Wimer Street be removed prior to commencement of the Traveler's
Accommodation use, and that there shall be no on-street parking on Wimer Street associated
with the Traveler's Accommodation use.
With the conditions detailed above in place, staff finds that the request for a two-unit Traveler's
Accommodation with one guest unit and one owner's unit meets the approval criteria of the
Ashland Municipal Code.
The approval criteria for a Conditional Use Permit are detailed in AMC 18.104.050 as follows:
A. That the use would be in conformance with all standards within the zoning district in which the use is
proposed to be located, and in conformance with relevant Comprehensive plan policies that are not
implemented by any City, State, or Federal law or program.
B. That adequate capacity of City facilities for water, sewer, paved access to and through the development,
electricity, urban storm drainage, and adequate transportation can and will be provided to and through the
subject property.
C. That 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 shall be
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
transit use are considered beneficial regardless of capacity of facilities.
3. Architectural compatibility with the impact area.
4. Air quality, including the generation of dust, odors, or other environmental pollutants.
5. Generation of noise, light, and glare.
6. The development of adjacent properties as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan.
7. Other factors found to be relevant by the Hearing Authority for review of the proposed use.
The approval criteria for a Traveler's Accommodation in the R-2 zone are detailed in AMC
18.24.030.) as follows:

established by this ordinance. The maximum number of accommodation units shall not exceed
nine, per approved traveler's accommodation with primary lot frontage on boulevard streets. For
traveler's accommodations without primary lot frontage on a designated boulevard, but within 200
feet of a boulevard, avenue or neighborhood collector street, the maximum number of units shall

Ms. Augsburger,
I'm the city planner who has taken over your application for a Traveler's
Accommodation while Michael Pina is out on leave. I'll be sending out
the approval notice today, and you should be receiving it in the mail
over the next day or so. Since we haven't met or talked, I wanted to
touch on a couple of items that were added as conditions of approval
after reviewing the application, looking at comments submitted by a
neighbor and visiting the site.
I wasn't sure if Michael Pina had forwarded a copy of the neighbor's
comments before he went on leave, so I've attached a copy of the
materials submitted by the neighbor along with the signed decision.
i r Street parking
The concerns raised by the neighbor had to do with guest parking on
Wimer Street. In looking at the application and the improvements on
Wimer, it appears that it is not currently improved to a city standard
width and could not be counted as on-street parking credits under city
codes. Rock Street, however, did appear to meet the standards to allow

retained, and would mean that there was a unit (rentable for 30-days or
more at a time) available if the Traveler's Accommodation use were ever
to cease. It would also trigger modifications to the assessment of the
property by the county for tax purposes. As it's written, the attached
approval would allow you to operate the Traveler's Accommodation
either by removing the kitchen or formalizing the second unit, but this
determination would need to be made, and all work inspected and
approved, prior to commencing the Traveler's Accommodation use.
Once the decision goes in to the mail, there's a 12-day appeal period
where you or neighbors could request that the approval be considered
by the Planning Commission through a public hearing. The letter that is
sent with the decision will include further details if you, or neighbors,
want to pursue an appeal. If no one appeals, the decision would be
final with the conditions as written on the 13th day after mailing. I'll
contact you if anyone submits an appeal request with details on the
issues raised and timing for a hearing.
If you have any questions about the above, or if I can provide any
additional information or assistance regarding the decision or how to
comply with the conditions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

April 13, 2014
RE: Planning Action PA-2014-00425
Subject Property: 99 Wimer Street
Use of the home at 99 Wimer Street for short-stay vacation rentals has been a long-term neighborhood
problem. Advertising for the home has, in the past, indicated a four-room rental capacity. While such
extensive use of a private home for such purposes has the potential for affecting the character of the
neighborhood, which the City's ordinances for such uses are designed to protect against, my concern
about the instant application falls in two more specific areas.
I am writing this letter on Sunday, April 13. The volume of cars parked on Wimer Street today in front of
99 Wimer Street would suggest that more than one vacation room has currently been rented. Thus, I
am concerned that the City's authorizing a one bedroom vacation rental capability for this home may
simply provide a fig-leaf authority for continued rentals exceeding one room. I am interested in how the
City would monitor such an operation to assure that more rooms were not being rented than the one
proposed in this Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
I want to be clear that I am not objecting to the grant of a one room vacation rental at 99 Wimer Street.
What I am concerned about is the potential for rental use that exceeds that authority and what steps
the City would take to assure that no broader rental use of 99 Wimer Street was being made.
My major concern over broader use of 99 Wimer Street as a vacation rental than is proposed relates to
on-street parking. The large driveway for 99 Wimer Street is located on Rock Street and an
accommodate four cars. However, to the best of my knowledge, "guests" are generally not given the
use of that driveway and appear to be told to park on Wimer Street. As a result, there have often been
as many as four cars parked along Wimer Street directly across from my house at 120 Wimer. The lot at
99 Wimer Street is quite long and includes a wooden gated yard entrance below my house, centered
across the street between 120 Wimer and 80 Wimer. However, the owner of 99 Wimer has posted a
"No Parking" sign across that gate and, as a result, force cars to park further up the street across from
my house. To the degree the "No Parking" sign is observed, it removes one or two potential on-street
parking spaces from use further crowding on-street parking uphill in front of my house.
When this vacation rental uses as many as four on-street parking spaces, without making any provision
for guest parking her own driveway, the clog of parked cars frequently causes the postman to refuse to
deliver our mail because the mailbox - on the north side of Wimer in front of 99 Wimer - is blocked by
parked cars. It is also problematic to have 99 Wimer's guest cars parked directly opposite my driveway.
Wimer is narrower than newer streets which is why parking is limited to the north side of Wimer. As a
result, residents on the south side of Wimer must have their guests use on-street parking on the north
side of the street. We have tried to discuss this parking congestion problem with Ms. Augsburger but
she has asserted that she "owns" the parking in front of her house on Wimer because it fronts her
property. Perhaps that view is why she has been inconsiderate of the impact her multi-room vacation
rentals have on others.
a
Because Wimer is an older, narrow stret, it is difficult, and potentially dangerous, for delivery vehicles to
try enter my driveway when a car is parked directly across the street. This is particularly a concern
during icy winter road conditions.
Because 99 Wimer is a corner lot, it also has the opportunity for on-street parking on Rock Street.
However, Ms. Augsburger has reported that the owner of 128 Wimer had asked her not to have 99
Wimer's "guests park on Rock Street because it made entry to 128 Wimer's driveway hazardous. Thus,
it is clear from Ms. Augsburger's own comments, that the parking congestion caused by broad rental use
of 99 Wimer has been a problem for neighbors other than myself.
Thus, I am concerned about the use of 99 Wimer as a vacation rental based upon vehicular safety issues
and a reasonable shared use of on-street parking by homes in the vicinity. I am also including some
photographs to illustrate these concerns.
Interestingly, on the night of April 12, 2013 there are three cars parked on-street adjacent to 99 Wimer
Street (not counting what I believe to be Ms. Augsburger's own vehicle). While only two of these
vehicles are parked on Wimer Street (one is in the 99 Wimer Street driveway), it suggests that more
than one room was rented out last night. To the degree that is the case, during a period when a pending
CUP which would - if granted - authorize vacation rental limited to one room, this suggests a significant
disregard for the CUP process and the City's ordinances designed to regulate such activity.
Accordingly, if 99 Wimer's use were limited to one rental unit, I do not object. However, I am concerned
that there may be no effective way of monitoring rental activity to assure that this facility would adhere
to the terms of the Conditional Use Permit which is proposed.
Ronald Kr er
Parking in front of 99 Wimer Street, August 26, 2013
On this date it appeared that 99 Wimer Street had multiple rooms rented with four cars parked on the street
(none in the home's driveway). It wasn't possible to take a single photo showing all four vehicles because that
required such a wide shot that I would have had to stand in the midde of my front yard to span that width and the
view to the street is obscured by evergeens in the front of my yard. Accordingly, two sets of photos are needed
to illustrate the parking onditions that day.

The above three pictures show the two cars parked BELOW the mailbox. Note that they have avoided
parking in front of the wooden gate, at the east end of the 99 Wimer lot, on which the owner has posted
a "No Parking" sign. Car #1 has a California plate; car #2 a British Columbia plate.
APH
These two cats were concurrently parked
ABOVE the mailbox. Note that the
British Columbia plated car is so close to
` the mailbox that a postman couldn't
maneuver his vehicle alongside the
mailboxes. The plate on car #3 is not
visible; car #4 has a Wyoming plate.

seeks to restrict Ithe limited number of i

other car is apparently Ms. Augsburger's. View on Rock
Street toward driveway of 128 Wimer (which helps
illustrate why 128 Wimer has apparently asked Ms.
Augsburger not to use Rock Street on-street parking for
"guests." When the City parks utility vehicles on-street
in this area, neighborhood parking is made vastly more
complciated because of 99 Wimer's excessive use of on-
street parking.

REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit
for Travelers Accommodation and
Site Review for Second Unit
Summary
The residence at 99 Wimer Street, which is zoned as a multi-family house, was purchased by
the current owner and business-owner in 1997. The residence is 3,669 square feet and sits on a plot that
measures at 16,117 square meet; i`vden~y'-two percent of the iot is covered by the house. There are' ur
available parking spaces: two in the driveway/garage and two on-street spots, which have been
designated on Wimer Street. Approximately 12,000 square feet of the lot has been landscaped. The lot
is lined with bushes, with many trees, flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables thriving throughout the
property. The residence has been divided into two units; the main unit, and owner's primary residence,
is accessible from the main entrance on Wimer Street, and the other unit to be the travelers'
accommodation, also accessible from Wimer Street. Pathways surrounding the house, and throughout
the gardens, are very well lit with solar lanterns and twinkle lights lining said pathways. Secured
bicycle parking is in the garage. On the far side of the property, garbage and recycling reciprocals are
located next to the garage. A short walk from downtown, there should not be much auto traffic
generated by guests, nor should there be any disturbances as the two units are tucked away, primarily
surrounded by patio and garden space.
