COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Low-Density Multi-Family Residential; ZONING: R- 2; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 lE 09AC; TAX LOTS: 9700 SUBMITTAL DATE: December 11, 2013 DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: December 30, 2013 STAFF DECISION DATE: January 30, 2014 APPEAL DEADLINE: February 11, 2014 FINAL DECISION DATE: February 12, 2014 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: February 12, 2015 DECISION The property is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Seventh Street and C Street. The parcel is 5,015 square feet in size and is in the Multi-Family Residential (R-2) zoning district. The parcel is surrounding by public rights-of-way on two sides with Seventh Street adjacent to the west, and C Street adjacent to the north. There is an existing 1907c., historic contributing residence. The parcel was created through a land partition (PA 2004-098) in 2004. As part of the partitioning process, the house was moved to one of the two newly created lots, and oriented to C Street. Two large cedar trees, 36 and 24-inches DBH are in the front yard adjacent to C Street which was shown to be preserved as part of the partition. The application is to remove the 36-inch D.B.H. Cedar tree that is leaning approximately 15 percent over the residence. The applicant has applied to remove the tree as a hazard tree. The applicant's findings assert that if the tree fell it would destroy the residence. The applicant has had an arborist evaluate the tree and though the arborist states the tree is healthy, its lean could cause significant property damage. The arborist also notes the tree could be topped to alleviate the hazard but that would create an additional set of problems and would be only temporary. Staff received one letter concerning the proposal. In staff's opinion, removal of the Cedar tree is not considered a hazard because in researching previous planning actions on the property and photographs submitted the tree has had a lean for at least six-years and does not appear to have leaned further. Additionally, there is no evidence of soil heaving or surface rooting, mushrooms or other fungi indicating decay. That said the tree can be shown to comply with the requirements for non-hazard tree removal. The removal of the Cedar tree is consistent with the land use ordinance regulating tree removal in multi- family residential zones on a property occupied by solely single family residential structure, which is technically exempt from the tree removal ordinance. Additionally, the removal of the Cedar will not PA 2013-01875 820 C Street/adg Page 1 4 have a negative impact on erosion, soil stability, or flow of surface waters due to the landscaped nature of the property. Nor will removal have a negative impact on the tree densities, sizes, canopies, and species diversity within 200-feet of the subject tree since there are numerous conifer tree species established in the vicinity of the cedar tree, including a large number of cedars in the cemetery on E. Main Street, cedar trees on Eighth and E. Main and Eighth and B Streets. Therefore, staff believes that the tree removal request meets the criteria of the ordinance, and is approved to be removed following the conditions below. 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 follo'A ing 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.

Further, if any one or more of the following conditions are found to be invalid for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action 2013- 01875 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) The applicant shall mitigation the tree in accordance with Ashland Municipal Code 18.61.084, a tree which would achieve similar size and stature at maturity as the one removed shall be planted on-site or a payment in lieu of planting may be paid into the tree account.

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 reason for this communication is to inform you that my front yard has a large cedar tree that is a hazard to my home and anyone that is within my home. The tree has a severe lean that is toward the center of my home. i am very concerned about the possibility of it falling. If it does it would probably destroy my entire house. More importantly, it would injure, if not kill, anyone that was within my house. Due to the'severe lean, there is no doubt where the tree would fall, directly in the middle of my house. I am particularly concerned of the ground around the tree getting soft after a wet period and the tree falling with no warning. Thank you for your consideration.
