COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Low-Density Multi-Family; ZONING: R-2; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 1E IOCB TAX LOT: 3601 SUBMITTAL DATE: October 3, 2014 DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: October 7, 2014 STAFF APPROVAL DATE: October 22, 2014 APPEAL DEADLINE DATE: November 3, 2014 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: November 4, 2015 DECISION The subject property is located on the west side of Garfield Street, opposite of Quincy Street, approximately 430 feet north of Iowa Street. The 11,300 square foot property is zoned R-2, multi- family, and has a 2,750 square foot, five-unit apartment building placed approximately 47 feet from the front property line, and a 1,890 square foot parking lot located in front of the building. The remainder of the site is primarily landscaped with a variety of trees, shrubbery, and lawn. Back in August, the applicant requested and received approval for a tree removal permit for a 26-inch DBH Mulberry tree within the rear yard of one of the units. This application proposes to remove a 13- inch Mulberry from the front yard of the property, noting that this particular tree had also been topped over the years, therefore resulting in a poor structure with weak atttachments, and subsequently an increased risk of failure. Therefore, attempting to restructure the tree via pruning is not an option. The applicant has not proposed a specific mitigation tree, but did note that a replacement tree will be chosen. The City of Ashland Tree Commission did not have an opportunity to review this particular proposal. In staff's opinion, as with the larger tree in back, removal will not cause a loss in tree canopy or coverage due to numerous trees on-site and in the immediate vicinity; nor adversely effect erosion or windbreaks of adjacent properties as the site is relatively flat. Moreover, as a specific tree has not been identified by ,the applicant, that a mitigation tree be planted in accordance with 18.61.084. Therefore, staff approves of the removal request, following conditions below. The criteria for a Tree Removal Permit are described in AMC Chapter 18.61.080, as follows: A. Hazard Tree: The StaffAdvisor 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 PA #2014-01735 157 Garfield St./MP Page 1 4 t 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 ofproperty 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. (e.g. other applicable Site Design and Use Standards). The Staff Advisor may require the buildingfootprint 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 sui face 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 ofstructures 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 2014-01735 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- 01735 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,replacement tree shall be shall be planted in the locations designated by the applicant within a maximum of 180 days from the date of this approval. The applicant shall submit their proposed mitigation trees to the Planning Division so as it may be part of the record of decision. The tree shall be planted and maintained according to the specifications in the City Tree Planting and Maintenance ines, including irrigation. _October 22, 2014 Moln 7,Director Date Departme Community Development PA #2014-01735 157 Garfield SUW Page 2 AFFIDAVIT OF MAILING STATE OF OREGON County of Jackson ) The undersigned being first duly sworn states that: 1.

This tree is approximately 13" in diameter at breast height with multiple stems spreading 25' and growing 30' in height (measurements approximate). The tree appears to be in reasonably good health, except for the defect of poor structure. Some reasons to consider removal as they pertain to AMC 18.61.080: ® The tree is not currently a hazard, but has increased potential to be so in the near future due to improper pruning (ie the tree has been topped) resulting in poor branch attachment. ® 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. The tree is located on flat ground. Neighboring trees are not being significantly protected by this shorter tree. ® Removal of this tree will have an impact on neighboring tree densities, but its replacement, with proper care, will have a net gain on canopy size and density over time. The owner of the property has committed to replacing this tree with a large caliper (2" or greater) and seeing to its watering and care. Thank you for your consideration.
