The applicant is requesting approval to add approximately 280 square feet at the rear of the residence for the property located at 469 Allison Street. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Low-Density Multi-Family; ZONING: R-2; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 lE 09 BD TAX LOT: 8300 SUBMITTAL DATE: May 7, 2014 .DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: May 21, 2014 STAFF APPROVAL DATE: July 10, 2014 FINAL DECISION DATE: July 22, 2014 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: July 22, 2015 DECISION The subject property is located mid-block on the north side of Allison Street at 469 Allison Street. The rear of the lot abuts an east / west alley. The subject property and all adjacent properties are also zoned R-2, Low Density Multi-Family Residential. The subject property is located within the Siskiyou-Hargadine Historic District. The property is 35 feet wide by 141.93 feet deep and is 4,967.55 square feet in area. The single-family residential home was constructed in 1901 and is known as the "Sutton-Winter House" in the Siskiyou Hargadine Historic District inventory documents. According to the inventory, the original one and one-half story volume of the Sutton-Winter House remains with original windows, trim and hipped porch. To the rear a large and generally compatible addition somewhat diminishes the historic integrity but, subservient to the original volume which remains the dominant fagade, the Sutton-Winter House retains its ability to relate to its original design and its history of development. The existing residence was constructed with a four-foot, five-inch side yard setback on the east and a three-foot, six-inch side yard setback on the west. Both of the existing setbacks are less than the required six-foot side yard setbacks. The existing setbacks are considered pre-existing non-conforming as no setbacks were required in 1901. In 1988, the applicants received a variance approval to extend the existing residence to the rear and to add to the half-story to create a second story, a roof top deck was permitted above the extension in the rear. The existing non-conforming setbacks were allowed to be extended and findings were made that off-setting the addition and creating a break in the line of the building would be incompatible since the property was in the Historic District. The current proposal is to construct a new addition on to the 1988 addition by enclosing the roof- top deck and adding an exterior stairway along the east side that will lead from the proposed PA #2014-00753 469 Allison Street /adg Page 1 k addition to the rear yard. Due to these non-conforming setbacks the proposed addition triggers a Conditional Use Permit to expand / enlarge an existing non-conformity. In addition, the property, within the Siskiyou Hargadine Historic District, is subject to the criteria for Historic District Development for Rehabilitation Standards for Existing Buildings and Additions from the Site Design and Use Standards. The Historic Commission reviewed the proposal at their June 4, 2014 regular meeting and found that the plans submitted didn't provide enough information for their review and contained some inaccuracies. The Commission also expressed concerns that the proposed addition was appearing out of scale and proportionally out of character with the rest of the structure. The Commission was also concerned that the window (41" X 60") proposed on the rear wall was out of scale to the other windows on the building. The Commission felt that the proposed raised ridge line would cause the addition to appear clumsy and added mass; the Commission stated the ridgeline should be continued or should step down with the topography. The commission also expressed concern with the proposed variation in the siding material from the siding that was installed on the 1988 addition. The Historic Commission continued the action to the July meeting. At the July 3, 2014 Historic Commission meeting the applicants proposed revised elevations which accurately depicted the existing residence, the proposed addition and incorporated some of the recommended changes. In particular, the applicant removed the large 41" X 60" window and proposed three smaller double hung windows. The Historic Commission found that the proposed addition should not be differentiated from the 1988 ridgeline and the existing ridge should continue instead of being added at a different height and made the following recommendations: The original ridgeline from 1988 should be continued and the new ridgeline shall match the existing. The new addition shall have large groove siding that closely matches the existing siding. The proposed addition maintains the historic character and architectural character of the district. The proposed 24 X 12 addition is similar in height to the adjacent historic buildings. The scale of the proposed addition is in keeping with the existing residence and.those found on adjacent properties. The original architecture is evident on the street facade of the structure, the 1988 addition of the second story and rear addition modified the historic structure consistent with the historic standards of the time. The continued ridge is clearly differentiated from the historic roofline and the continued roof line is in keeping with the modern additions. The proposed siding is compatible in dimension and reveal as the original siding. The proposed window additions are compatible in proportion, shape and size to the existing double hung windows. The subject property is both more narrow than the average lot in the impact area and is below the minimum lot size in the zone. Nearby properties though in compliance with the minimum lot areas also have structures which do not comply with current setback requirements, specifically, the properties on adjacent parcels at 453, 462, 486 and directly next door 477 Allison, the proposal to continue the reduced side yard setbacks to expand the second story is compatible with adjacent properties in the impact area. Additionally, the generation of light, noise, glare, dust, etc. will not be impacted by the proposed addition following construction. The application addresses that adequate capacity of public services already serve the site. No changes to the existing electric, water and sanitary sewer lines is necessary. The site is landscaped and no changes to the landscaping are proposed. PA 92014-00753 469 Allison Street /adg Page 2 Written commments were provided during the 14-day comment period. The comments were in regards to concerns of bulk, scale, massing and privacy. The criteria for a Conditional Use Permit are described in AMC Chapter 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. IVhen 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 fore review of the proposed use. The application with the attached conditions complies with all applicable City ordinances. Planning Action 2014-00753 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 2014-00753 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 the plans submitted for the building permit shall be in substantial conformance with those approved as part of this application. If the plans submitted for the building permit PA #2014-00753 469 Allison Street /adg Page 3 are not in substantial conformance with those approved as part of this application, an application to modify the current Site Review and Conditional Use permit approvals shall be submitted and approved prior, to issuance of a building permit. 3) That the conditions of the Historic Commission as detailed in their recommendations from the July 2, 2014 meeting shall be conditions of approval where consistent with applicable Site Design and Use Standards with the final approval of the Staff Advisor. 4) That the exterior lighting shall be directed onto the property and shall not directly illuminate adjacent proprieties. Exterior lighting details shall be provided on building Z,.,.---pe it submittals.

S INGLERocKHousE] 1902 477 ALLISON ST 391E09BD8200 BUILDER: DUTTON, J. H. STYLE: LATE 19TH/20TH C. AMERICAN Mov.: BUNGALOW HISTORIC CONTRIBUTING This dwelling was built for Southern Pacific conductor Charles S. Inglerock in 1902. J. H. Dutton was the contractor for the $1200 structure according to the local paper (Ashland Tidings, 28-July- 1902). Inglerock sold the house in 1906 and by 1908 the property was owned by Mrs. J. P. Gilmore. By 1910 the house was owned by J. N. Dennis and that family retained ownership at least through 1920 (JCD 125:70). B. B. Balls was the property owner by 1949 (JCD 139:412). The original design of the Inglerock House in unknown but may have been similar to the Martyn- Dickey House, to the east. At some point, probably during the Dennis ownership, the house was completely renovated to the present bungalow exterior. Typical features of that style include the large full-width front porch and massively detailed gabled dormer. Siding, porch detailing, brackets, windows and other elements from that remodel all survive. The Inglerock-Dennis House effectively relates its original design and appearance during the period of historic significance. 104.00 Survey #4oI SUTTON-WINTER HOUSE 1901C 469 ALLISON ST 391E09BD8300 STYLE: LATE 19TH/20TH C. AMERICAN MOv.: BUNGALOW HISTORIC CONTRIBUTING This house was probably built in 1901 after the land was purchased by R. K. Sutton. Apparently used as a rental, Sutton sold the house to Otto Winter in 1902. Winter, who owned several rental properties sold to Henry Bailey in 1914. Bailey maintained ownership at least through 1920 (JCD 105:547). In 1949 the property was owned by Gladys H. Whitson (JCD 239:462), who is also listed as residing at this address during that period. The original one and one-story volume of the Sutton-Winter House remains, with original windows, trim, and hipped porch. To the rear a large and generally compatible addition somewhat diminish the historic integrity but, subservient to the original volume which remains the dominant facade, the Sutton-Winter House retains its ability to relate its original design and its history of development. 105.00 Survey #402 PAMELA WEBSTER HOUSE 1889 463 ALLISON ST 391E09BD8400 STYLE: OTHER: VERNACULAR, L-SHAPED FARMHOUSE HISTORIC CONTRIBUTING Pamela Webster, one of Ashland's earlier women physicians, probably had this one and one-half story ell built shortly after she purchased the property in September 1889. In 1893 she sold the property to C. F. Shepard and left Ashland for Sacramento, California. In 1900 the house was purchased by R. K. Sutton. Robert Casey purchased the property around 1910 and retained ownership at least through 1920 (JCD 98:345). In 1949 the house was owned by Jessie A. Mullins (JCD 263:585). Amy Gunter From: Colin [colinswales@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, June 27, 2014 4:02 PM To: Amy Gunter Subject: 469 Allison: PA 2014-00753 Amy, The drawings do look a bit more accurate now, but most of our original concerns remain. we are still hoping the Applicant will sometime soon make contact with us to discuss possible better options. I would like to respond to the Applicant/Owner's letter in the packet and also to correct some inaccuracies. Please place this email in the Record for this planning action and share with the Historic Commissioners. [ Applicant's comments Bold/Italic ] "We are not adding to the current foot prints on Colin's side." The original small cottage, on a 4970 SF .lot, was already non-conforming with regards to side setbacks when it was expanded by the applicant in the late '80s - also including a Variance (PA 88- 143). While not uniquely sized or small for our neighborhood, it is 142 feet in depth and with alley access. 1988: " ...[Hearings Officer, John ] McLaughlin reviewed the elevations submitted and said that to meet the required setback would require a break in the line of the building, setting the new addition 2' back from the existing line of the house. He stated that this structure was in the Historic District and that avoiding incompatible additions is very important... " Applicant in 1988: [to comply with City ordinance ] "...would create an unsightly and impractical jog in the middle of the wall... "...(Historic guidelines now discourage this long, flat-wall approach) So, not only has a fenestrated, 2nd story "pop-top" with the identical small side setback (and with no eaves breaking up the 2-story wall) been added above the original small home, but the non- conforming footprint has also expanded a further 12 ft. to the rear with the kitchen addition and a rooftop deck. With the new side window in this 88 addition as well as the later triple window added to the side elevation of the original cottage as well as the added upper story windows, the impacts to our own privacy was considerably reduced.. The proposal to now add yet another volume on top of the applicant-built, "never used" rooftop deck at only the 40 side setback, with 2 more side windows (also another 5 on rear elevation) obviously seriously impacts our privacy and is hardly "minimal" when seen from our home. (If the Applicant used of skylights rather than using multiple view windows it would probably have less impact to both neighbors - as well as increasing headroom inside.) [ Also note: the current setback, based on our corner survey pins, is 40", not 42" as stated in this application, nor 48' as stated in the Applicant's earlier 1988 variance PA ] "Looking at the neighborhood for bulk and scale" 1 "400 Allison 1987 SF" - This r`.-w home is even bigger than the Ma oum House size allowed, and needed a CUP. It is certainly not Historic. "446 Allison 3468 SF" - This triplex is indeed a big house, and is the only multi-family property on the block, but 450 SF is an attic totally within the roofspace "64 Gresham 2645 SF" -This Frank Clark home has a top story of much reduced height and is in fact only 2,235 SF, NOT 2645 as stated by the applicant. "Colin's own house is by the way 1829 SFplus live-in basement" - The 1829 SF figure quoted from the county includes the basement. The basement was excavated to help make up for the existing 276 SF of living space that was lost when the boxed-in front porch was restored. The maximum house size code fully recognizes the different impacts of bulk and scale and to this end ignores areas with low ceilings and also basements, as well as detached accessory buildings For the purposes of the City's Max House size our home next door is only 845 SF (first floor) plus 436 SF (finished attic above 7') =1,281 SF total on .26 ac. "Colin doesn't live there. It's been rented for years" - This is not an approval criteria. This was our family's home for many years while it was being restored and subsequently. It will be our home once again in the near future. In the meantime we are concerned not only with livability for the families that chose to rent our home from us, but mainly the ongoing historic integrity of the Pracht Addition. i "..happy for Lene to get her studio of her dreams" - while this is also irrelevant to the approval criteria, I would concur with the applicant's other neighbor and be happy to allow the applicant to build her dream, but within the zoning codes and historic guidelines, and without unnecessary special exemptions. I would respectfully suggest that the "dream studio" be built as a detached accessory structure in the rear yard - perhaps to replace the tumbledown "garage & shed" close to the alley, rather than to further negatively impact neighboring properties. The original Variance to expand this non-confotming home incorrectly assumed that our property would never be further developed. Having ourselves only a 1,281 Single family home on such a relatively large parcel is not the highest and best use of our property and we do not want future options cramped by the original variance that was granted on the assumption of "retention of a 29 distance" between the applicant's home and our own - as then existed. Our home presently has no garage, shed or any accessory buildings and is also zoned for up to 2.5 additional units. We really do not feel it fair that our own future plans for our property should be compromised for this dream.

Here is some comments I would like you to give to the historic commissioners at the next meeting on July 2nd re: 469 Allison. All we want to do is to make an existing deck that we never use into an art studio with as minimal an impact on anyone as possible. RE: Colin Swales comments on 469 Allison. We are not adding to the current foot prints on Colin's side. A new wall 12 foot long and 7 feet tall will barely be visible from Colin's side yard because of his inappropriately planted large trees, so we seriously question any significant impact on his property. Besides. Colin doesn't live there. It's been rented for years. As far as the stepping up of the roof goes, we were asked to do this. Stepping it down will leave the inside with a very strange ceiling. We would prefer a straight roof. We cannot set back the walls. What will hold them up? We do not wish to rebuild the existing kitchen. The large window that we were asked to put in is now 2 smaller ones. Looking at the the neighborhood for scale and bulk: Colin mentions all the smaller houses on Allison and beyond. The average house on our block of Allison is 1853 SF Ours will be the existing1462 SF plus the proposed 336 SF = 1798 SF on a 0.11 ac 400 Allison 1987 SF plus basement and garages on a o.11ac 446 Allison 3468 SF on a. 14 ac 64 Gresham 2645 SF on a. 15 ac (corner of Allison) We do not see that we will be out of line with the neighborhood. Colin's own house is by the way 1829SF plus a live in basement. Colin mentions our neighbor to the other side at 477 Allison. She is happy for Lene to get her studio of her dreams Thank you.

Owners of 469 Allison. r t Amy Gunter From: Colin [colinswales@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2014 2:35 PM To: Amy Gunter Subject: For the RECORD - PA 2014-0000753 Amy, Please could you share this with the Historic Commissioners this evening and confirm receipt ? RE 469 Allison Street Thank you for sending the new "elevation" drawings yesterday and also taking the time this morning to chat about this project. Do you know if the dimensions shown are actual - or simply taken off the CAD screen - as the grade depicted does not seem to be accurate. e.g. the front porch and finished floor level [ FFL ] are about 2' above grade while the back lower deck (and FFL) appear to be over 4 ft above grade. It is hard for me to scale off the drawings as I do not have a 3/16":1 scale handy. Could you please check on what you have shown on the drawings ? I really hope Staff or Historic commissioners get a chance to assess this proposal from the rear, as the impact of such a flat straight wall the equivalent of 2-1/2 stories high, fenestrated with 8 windows, and with such a minimum, non-conforming setback from our mutual property line really impacts my own side yard. I especially feel that to to "step up" the roof on a descending hillside grade is not in keeping with the historic neighborhood pattern and makes the rear seem very high and out of place. I don't feel the proposed hardiplank siding improves matters. I as a neighbor would obviously prefer that the project met with the spirit of the historic requirement that requires "...some differentiation between new and old.... inset walls on the addition..." Perhaps if the addition side wall and roof was "inset" then it could then also fit within the required setbacks and not exacerbate the problems of the already non-conforming earlier addition.? Also, I looked at some of my neighboring historic homes for comparison on scale and bulk: 443 Allison 1088 SF on 0.10 ac ( 1-story + 352 1/2 story over alley garage) 47 Union/Allison 1079 SF on 0.12 ac (1-story) 492 Allison 1200 SF on 0.16 ac (1-story) 880 Gresham 604 SF on 0.16 ac (1-story same block, 4 houses away on alley) 502 Allison 1561 SF on 0.11 ac (1-story) 59 Union/Allison 1099 SF on 0.16 ac (1-story) 489 Allison 1237 SF on 0.21 ac (1-story) (My own home next door at 461 Allison is 845 SF 1st floor plus 624SF -112 story attic on 0.23 ac lot - N.B. I did also excavate the crawlspace to provide a basement under the home.) This project: existing 1462 SF on 0.10 ac - (2-story) proposed 1822 SF. with the proposed 2-story addition ( max allowed =1887 sf) i It would appear that to nearly max-out the allowed house size for such a relatively small lot is not in keeping with the existing bulk and scale of similar historic neighbors. I would also question the 41" x 60" "egress" window shown on the rear. My understanding is that a 36" x 60" single-hung window would quite adequately meet egress requirements (and the proportions of 41x60 also seem "un-historic") There are double-ganged 36x60 windows shown on the side elevation and (absent a floor plan), I am assuming they are all in the same room I did speak with the neighbor on the other side, #477 Allison Street, and she informs me that she has been away, and has not seen the plans of the proposal yet and cannot make the HC meeting this evening.

Because of low existing wall and ceiling heights upstairs, nesting the gable below the existing gable was not possible. The plate heights would have been reduced below 7', meaning that the planned door on the southeast side of the house could not be installed. Due to the narrow nature of the lot and house, stepping the wall line in by three feet would have reduced the usability of the space. The addition will be sided with 1x6 V-edge Cedar shiplap siding, painted to match the existing house. Windows will be sized and spaced in keeping with the rhythm of the house. The egress window was removed because the room will be used as an office and replaced with windows that are more in keeping with the rest of the house. The second story addition will create a house that is smaller than the average house size on the block. The proposed addition is proportional and sized to the neighborhood. The increase in the building footprint is just 36 square feet, and the maximum height of the ridge is 28' 9". This de minimis addition attempts to make the best of a previous addition and not exacerbate the existing situation. It aims to use space frugally without sacrificing livability. l" Ben Treiger Design + B( A 541.621.7862 bentr, 'ger@gmail.com (DD _0 E z tG 0 0 0 g CL to (D CL i i ; ,E r\j E' Y I S r CL (D rn n-P a a to l0 r+ 1 o• p :3 (D I r+ N j CD M Q r fD fD nCD E Ben Treiger Design + B,(, A 541.621.7862 bentr' 'ger@gmail.com E ~ r' I Ln p f C z i 1L <o D CL 9 Cn~ E ® ~ cD Q ~ r fD CD n~ CD r Ben Treiger Design + B,.'` 'd 541.621.7862 bentr'` 'ger@gmail.com 0 -0 0 o~ r+ n 0 0 c~ --s o cn N fD ~ CD r fD n' CD Ben Treiger Design + B(.

An alley abuts the back of the property. The property dimensions are 35' x 78', and contain a 38x 25' house, a 12'x 14' garage and an 8' x 16' shed. The existing size of the house is 1462 square feet and the footprint is 950 square feet. An addition to the footprint of the house of 36 square feet, 3x 12', is proposed. The new building footprint would be 981 square feet. A proposed second story over the existing single story kitchen would increase the square footage of the second story by 324 square feet. The proposed house size is 1822 square feet. Parking is available on Allison Street and a garage is located off the alley. Traffic is residential and local in nature. Landscaping will remain unchanged. Existing mature trees and shrubs fringe a backyard lawn. The front yard has a large tree, ground cover and flowerbeds. See attached plans addressing 18.104.040, showing vicinity map, site plan, building elevations, topographic map, and landscaping plan. Tree protection plan according to 18.61.200 The proposed addition to the building footprint is outside the drip line of surrounding trees. This addition increases the impervious surface on the lot by 36 square feet. Existing lot coverage is 1124 square feet, and proposed lot coverage is 1160 square feet. The lot size is 4970 square feet. The existing lot coverage is 22.6%, the proposed lot coverage is 23.3%.

Excavation will be by hand. No construction activities will occur within the dripline of any trees on the property. See attached landscaping plans addressing 18.61.200 Findings addressing 18.104.050 conditional use criteria A. 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. The zoning is R-2, and the lot is located within the Siskiyou-Hargadine historic district. The existing structure is 1910 two-story residence. The use is an increase in the size of the second story of the house and an increase in the footprint of the house. The view from the street will remain unchanged and the character of the addition will be in line with other homes in the neighborhood and the existing architectural features on the house. 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. The use will not increase demand on City facilities for water, sewer, paved access and transportation to and through the subject property. The use will increase the demand on City urban storm drainage. The building footprint increases by 36 square feet, which increases the roof area and the demand on urban storm drainage. This increase is slight. 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 for the target use of the zone. The proposed use will expand an existing non-conforming use. The existing house addition will be in the back yard, and existing non-conforming side yard setbacks will be maintained. 5/6/2014 Ben Treiger Page 3 of 5 Ben the Builder, Inc.

The proposed addition will be similar in scale, bulk, and lot coverage to the surrounding homes. The existing residence is relatively small, 1462 square feet, and surrounding homes are larger. The existing residence is a two story structure, as are the surrounding homes. The proposed lot coverage is 23.3%, in line with that of the surrounding neighborhood. 2. Traffic loads will remain unchanged. The house will remain a single-family residence. 3. The architectural style of the proposed addition will match details already present in the existing structure, such as open eaves, wood shiplap siding, and trim lines including frieze trim, belly band, and splash trim. Windows will be single-hung. 4. The air quality will be unaffected by the proposed use. Construction activities will minimize and control the creation and dispersal of dust and other environmental contaminants. 5. Noise, light, and glare will not increase resulting from this use. 6. The development of adjacent properties will be unaffected. The existing non-conforming side yard setbacks will remain unchanged. Historic district design standards IV-13-1 Historic architectural styles and associated features shall not be replicated in new additions or associated buildings. The proposed addition to the second story will not replicate historic details of the house, such as the hipped covered front porch. The addition will feature a half-hipped ridge, matching one added to the house in a 1988 addition. IV-13-2 Original architectural features shall be restored as much as possible, when those features can be documented. The proposed first floor addition will match existing corner trim, frieze trim, and belly band found on the existing exterior walls. IV-13-3 Replacement finishes on exterior walls of historic buildings shall match the original finish. Exterior finishes on new additions to historic buildings shall be compatible with, but not replicate, the finish of the historic building The exterior walls of the second floor addition will be sided with Hardie plank. This will not match the existing 1x6 v-edge shiplap siding. i 5/6/2014 Ben Treiger Page 4 of 5 Ben the Builder, Inc.

The siding will be horizontal bevel siding on the second story. The siding on the first story will be horizontal 1x6 v-edge shiplap siding. IV-13-5 Exterior wall colors on new additions shall match those of the historic building. The new addition will be painted to match the existing house. IV-13-6 Imitative materials including but not limited to asphalt siding, wood textured aluminum siding and artificial stone shall be avoided. No imitative materials will be used.
