FINDINGS & ORDERS

PLANNING ACTION: PA-2015-02312
SUBJECT PROPERTIES: 2350 Ashland Street
APPLICANT/ OWNER: Jalaram Hospitality LLC
DESCRIPTION: A request for a hazard tree removal permit to remove an incense cedar
of approximately 20-inches diameter at breast height (DBH) from the property located at 2350 Ashland
Street (Ashland Super 8). COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Commercial; ZONING: C-
1; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 lE 14BA; TAX LOTS: 100.
SUBMITTAL DATE: December 9, 2015
DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: December 24, 2015
STAFF APPROVAL DATE: January 15, 2016
DEADLINE TO APPEAL (4:30 p.m.): January 27, 2016
FINAL DECISION DATE: January 28, 2016
APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: January 28, 2017
DECISION
The application is a request for a hazard tree removal permit to remove an incense cedar tree from the
property located at 2350 Ashland Street. The arborist report identifies the tree as 50 feet in height and 20
inches DBH.
The site is on the south side of Ashland Street and contains the Ashland Super 8 motel. The property is
1.84 acres in size and zoned Commercial (C-1). Washington Street is adjacent to the east side of the
property and vehicular access is provided from Washington Street. Sidewalks are in place on the
Ashland and Washington Street frontages. Hamilton Creek runs along the west side of the property.
I
The tree is located between the building and Ashland Street and is under power lines. The tree is
approximately 23 feet from the sidewalk and 28 feet from the street.
The approval criteria for a tree removal permit for a hazard tree in AMC 18.5.7.040.B.1 require that the
application demonstrate that the condition or location of the tree presents a clear public safety hazard
(i.e., likely to fall and injure persons or property) or a foreseeable danger of property damage to an
existing structure. The application includes a report from a certified arborist that finds that there is a
possibility of limb drop, trunk failure and root plate failure. The tree has been pruned for the overhead
power lines. The arborist identified a series of horizontal cracks in the tree on the opposite of the trunk
from the prevailing winds. Finally, the arborist report identifies the soil as light sandy soil in which the
tree is located as not being well suited for the tree at maturity of 150 feet in height and 48 inches DBH.
The arborist identifies the primary hazard as limb drop on the sidewalk, street or power lines. Though
not stated explicitly, the report implies that another potential hazard is the tree trunk splitting from high
winds or the tree falling over because the root plate in the sandy soil cannot support the weight of the
tree.
The approval criteria also require that the hazardous condition cannot be alleviated by treatment,
relocation, or pruning. Rather than prune the tree, the arborist report identifies the tree species as
PA 92015-02312
2350 Ashland St./mh
Page 1
unsuitable for the location. The arborist attributes the problems with the power lines to the species and
its canopy shape and potential size. Therefore, pruning or removal of portions of the tree will not
alleviate the hazardous condition. Finally, the approval criteria allow that mitigation be provided for the
removed tree and a condition has been added to that effect.
The Ashland Tree Commission reviewed this request at their regular meeting on January 7, 2016. The
Commission agreed with staff's assessment that the subject tree satisfies the criteria for removal as a
hazard tree and recommended approval of the application. The Tree Commission recommended that the
mitigation tree be selected that will achieve the same coverage of the tree that is being removed.
The criteria for a Tree Removal Permit for the removal of hazard trees are described in AMC
Chapter 18.5.7.040.6 as follows:
1. Hazard Tree. A Hazard Tree Removal Permit shall be granted if the approval authority finds
that the application meets all of the following criteria, or can be made to conform through the
imposition of conditions.
a. The applicant must demonstrate that the condition or location of the tree presents a clear
public safety hazard (i.e., likely to fall and injure persons or property) or a foreseeable
danger of property damage to an existing structure or facility, and such hazard or danger
cannot reasonably be alleviated by treatment, relocation, or pruning. See definition of
hazard tree in part 18.6.
b. The City may require the applicant to mitigate for the removal of each hazard tree pursuant
to section 18.5.7.050. Such mitigation requirements shall be a condition of approval of the
r
permit.
Planning Action #2015-02312 is a request for a hazard tree removal permit to remove an incense cedar
of approximately 20-inches diameter at breast height (DBH) from the property located at 2350 Ashland
Street (Ashland Super 8). The application with the attached conditions below complies with all
applicable City ordinances for removal of a hazard tree. Planning Action #2015-02312 is therefore
approved to allow the removal of the subject tree (one incense cedar). Further, if any one or more of the
following conditions are found to be invalid for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action #2015-
02312 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 specifically
modified herein.
2. That the tree removal shall be mitigated as provided in AMC 18.5.7.050 within one year of the
permit issuance.
3. That the recommendations of the Tree Commission from their January 7, 2016 meeting shall be
conditions of approval where consistent with the applicable standards and with final approval by
the Staff Advisor, including that the mitigation tree shall be planted on the site and achieve the
same c era the tree removed.

The ordinance criteria applicable to this application are attached to this notice. Oregon law states that failure to raise an objection concerning this

18.5.7.040.11 Criteria for Issuance of Tree Removal Permit
B. Tree Removal Permit.
1. Hazard Tree. A Hazard Tree Removal Permit shall be granted if the approval authority finds that the application meets
all of the following criteria, or can be made to conform through the imposition of conditions.
a. The applicant must demonstrate that the condition or location of the tree presents a clear public safety hazard (i.e.,
likely to fall and injure persons or property) or a foreseeable danger of property damage to an existing structure or
facility, and such hazard or danger cannot reasonably be alleviated by treatment, relocation, or pruning. See definition
of hazard tree in part 18.6.
b. The City may require the applicant to mitigate for the removal of each hazard tree pursuant to section 18.5.7.050.
Such mitigation requirements shall be a condition of approval of the permit.
2. Tree That is Not a Hazard. A Tree Removal Permit for a tree that is not a hazard shall be granted if the approval
authority finds that the application meets all of the following criteria, or can be made to conform through the imposition of
conditions.
1. The tree is proposed for removal in order to permit the application to be consistent with other applicable Land Use
Ordinance requirements and standards, including but not limited to applicable Site Development and Design
Standards in part 18.4 and Physical and Environmental Constraints in part 18.10.
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.
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

permitted in the zone.
4. Nothing in this section shall require that the residential density to be reduced below the permitted density allowed by

To the City of Ashland,
i
To whom it my concern, I have recently done a Tree Risk Assessment
Inspection on an Incense-Cedar at the above property to give an Arborist's report
as requested by the City of Ashland from Mr. Patel. In doing this inspection I
looked at site factors, tree defects and/or conditions affecting the likelihood of
failure, targets (both static and fluid) and consequences of failure.

tall and has a DBH of 20 inches. It is located on the North side of the Motel
between the building and Ashland St.. The tree has been pruned for Utility
easements (power lines). This species of tree can reach a height of up to 150 feet
tall and a DBH of up to 48 inches at maturity.
While conducting my assessment I found a few concerns with this tree. The
soil profile is light sandy soil, not well suited for the size this tree could reach.
There are numerous branches that have already become necrotic due to the
species limb drop history. The trunk has a series of horizontal cracks (Fig.1) in the
bark that have filled with sap (Fig.2) at 4, 5, 8, 10 and 14 feet. These cracks are on
the opposite side of the trunk from the prevailing wind side. The concerns
become limb drop on power lines, sidewalk pedestrians, vehicles and the building.
Other concerns are the possibility of root plate failure due to poor soil conditions
and trunk failure which has already shown signs of happening.
In my professional opinion, the best mitigation with this tree is to remove,
but replace with suitable species for under powerlines that still have a broad
canopy for storm water quality. Replacing with an evergreen would not be a good
species for this area due to their history of limb drop.
We all strive to put the "right tree in the right place" and in this case, this
tree is in the wrong place.

Mike,
Per your request I did an inspection of the large tree located on your property that lies between the ~i
power line and your building. In my opinion this tree presents a substantial liability hazard to your
business due to severe trimming of the tree to clear the power lines. In addition, the tree is leaning
towards your building and in its unbalanced state the chance of it falling on your building in a
windstorm is significant.
For liability purposes, we would highly recommend that you have this tree removed.
i
Sincerely,
i
Jim
