DECISION
The application is a request for a tree removal permit to remove six ponderosa pine trees and one Atlas
cedar from the properties located at 903/905 Bellview Avenue and 2350/2370 Siskiyou Boulevard. The
ponderosa pines are across the site's Siskiyou Boulevard frontage and located between the building
envelope for 903/905 Belleview Avenue structure and Siskiyou Boulevard. The application identifies
the ponderosa pines as ranging from eight to 14 inches diameter at breast height (DBH) and 25 to 30 feet
in height. The Atlas cedar is located in the southeast corner of the building envelope for 903/905
Bellview Avenue on the Bellview Avenue side of the property. The application identifies the Atlas cedar
as 15 inches DBH and 40 feet in height. All of the trees proposed from removal are described as in
moderate condition.
The site is at the southwest corner of the intersection of Bellview Avenue with Siskiyou Boulevard. The
site is comprised of four tax lots with a combined total area of .24 acres. The lots are zoned Low Density
Multi-Family Residential (R-2). Siskiyou Boulevard and Bellview Avenue provide pedestrian access
and the driveway accessing Bellview Avenue provides vehicular access.
The site received subdivision and site design review approval as part of Phase 2 of the West Bellview
Subdivision in 1996 (PA96-107). Two buildings with two units in each building were approved on the
subject site. The subject site is comprised of four tax lots.
The application includes a Tree Protection Plan by Madara Design Inc. dated 12/2/15 and received as
part of the application on 12/21/15. According to this tree protection plan, five of the ponderosa pines
(tree # 3-7) are located in a cluster on the site's Siskiyou Boulevard frontage. The application identifies
the cluster of trees reason for removal as for the betterment of the other trees. One individual ponderosa
pine near the cluster is identified for removal (tree #8) and described as leaning precariously and
unstable. The application states that the proximity of the Atlas cedar (tree #11) to construction requires
removal. Four trees along the Siskiyou Boulevard frontage are identified for retention (tree #1, 2, 9, 10)
including a 34 inch DBH giant sequoia, an 11 inch DBH Norway spruce, a 20 inch DBH Jeffery pine
and a 16 inch Siberian elm. The tree protection plan identifies tree protection fencing located at the drip
line of each of the four trees identified for preservation.

The approval criteria to remove trees that are not a hazard require that the removal of the tree will not
have significant negative impacts on erosion, soil stability, flow of surface waters, protection of adjacent
trees, or existing windbreaks. The remaining trees on the property are located evenly across the Siskiyou
Boulevard frontage and will continue to serve the purposes of stabilizing soil, protecting other trees,
dissipating rainfall, and serving as windbreaks. In addition, the criteria require that the removal of the
trees will not have a significant negative impact on the tree densities, sizes, canopies, and species
diversity with 200 feet of the subject property. The Clay Creek corridor is located approximately 100
feet west of the site and includes a variety of species and sizes of trees. Finally, the approval criteria
allow that mitigation be provided for the removed trees 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 recommended approval of the removal of the ponderosa pines, but did not recommend
approval of the Atlas cedar. The Tree Commission recommended installation of tree protection fencing
at the drip line of the Atlas cedar and that construction in the protected drip line occur with the
supervision of a certified arborist. Further, they recommended that the certified arborist perform all root
cuts to the Atlas cedar. The Tree Commission recommended planting one street tree as mitigation for
the removal of the ponderosa pines. G
I
The criteria for Tree Removal Permit approval are described in AMC section 18.5.7.040.B:
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 to the tree removal have been
considered and no reasonable alternative exists to allow the property to be used as
permitted in the zone.
4. Nothing in this section shall require that the residential density to 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 of alternate landscaping
designs that would lessen the impact on trees, so long as the alternatives continue to
comply with the other provisions of this ordinance.
5. The City shall require the applicant to mitigate for the removal of each tree granted
approval pursuant to section 18.5.7.050. Such mitigation requirements shall be a
condition of approval of the permit.
Planning Action #2015-02381 is a request for a tree removal permit to remove six ponderosa pine trees
from the property and one Atlas cedar from the properties located at 903/905 Bellview Avenue and
2350/2370 Siskiyou Boulevard. The application with the attached conditions below complies with all

Tree Protection Plan by Madara Design, Inc. dated 12/2/15. However, the removal of the Atlas cedar
(tree # 11 on Tree Protection Plan by Madara Design, Inc. dated 12/2/15) is not approved. Further, if any
one or more of the following conditions are found to be invalid for any reason whatsoever, then
Planning Action #2015-02381 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. The Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantic) identified as tree number 11 on Tree Protection Plan by
Madara Design, Inc. dated 12/2/15 is not approved for removal.
3. That prior to the issuance of a building permit, the Tree Protection Plan shall be revised to
address the preservation and protection of the Atlas cedar (tree # 11) as recommended by the
project arborist and incorporating the Tree Commission recommendations from the January 7,
2016 meeting.
4. That the one street tree shall be installed in accordance with the City of Ashland Recommended
Street Tree Guide, irrigated, and provided in accordance with AMC 18.5.7.050 within one year
of the permit issuance.
5. 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 but not limited to the following.
a. The Tree Protection Plan shall include measures for protection of the Atlas cedar during
construction including that if any disturbance in the tree protection zone is undertaken, a
certified arborist shall be on site to supervise any work. In addition, any cuts to the Atlas
cedar's roots shall be performed by the certified arborist for the project.
6. That a Verification Permit shall be applied for and approved by the Ashland Planning Division
prior to the issuance of a building permit and prior to site work, staging, building demolition,
and/or storage of materials. The Verification Permit is to inspect the identification of the trees to
be removed and the installation of tree protection fencing for the trees to be protected on and
adjacent to the site. The trees to be removed shall be tagged by number and identified for
removal with tape, inspected, and approved by the Staff Advisor prior to their removal. The tree
protection shall be chain link fencing six feet tall. No construction or activities shall occur
within the tree protection zone including dumping or storage of materials such as building
supplies, soil, waste, equipment, or parked vehicles unless stipulated on the revised and approved
Tree Protection Plan.

PLANNING ACTION: PA-2015-02381
SUBJECT PROPERTY: 903 and 905 Bellview
OWNER/APPLICANT: Oregon Architecture/Raven Woodworks, Inc.
DESCRIPTION: A request to remove four trees to accommodate a previously approved housing
development. One of the trees, a Cedrus atlantica, is in the footprint of a proposed building. The other
trees to be removed, all Pinus pondersas, are to be removed because of poor health and proximity to
other trees. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Multi-Family Residential; ZONING: R-
2; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 lE 14CA; TAX LOT: 7808, 7807, 7806, 7805.
The Tree Commission recommends approval of the tree removal for the Pinus ponderosas, five in total.
However, they do not recommend approval for the Cedrus atlantica, tree number 11 on site plan. In
order to retain the Cedrus atlantica, the Commission recommends the following:
1) That a tree protection fence be installed for the cedar tree at the dripline. If construction needs to
occur within the protection zone, the work shall be supervised by a certified arborist and all cuts
to the tree's roots shall be done by hand by the project arborist.
2) Furthermore, the Commission recommends one street tree to be required as mitigation for the
removal of the five Pinus ponderosas.

application meets all of the following criteria, or can be made to conform through the imposition of conditions.
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. 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,
d. Nothing in this section shall require that the residential density to 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 of alternate landscaping designs that
would lessen the impact on trees, so long as the alternatives continue to comply with the other provisions of this ordinance,
e. The City shall require the applicant to mitigate for the removal of each tree granted approval pursuant to section 18.5.7.050. Such
mitigation requirements shall be a condition of approval of the permit.

TREE REMOVAL PLAN NARRATIVE FOR TREE REMOVAL PERMIT
903-905 BELLVIEW
ASSOCIATED WITH BUILDING PERMIT
Attached to this narrative is a copy of the Tree Survey completed December 2, 2015. This is an update
of an extensive survey completed in 2008. Since that time six lots have been developed on the site.
Two units were constructed and the other four were prepared for the construction of units. All
underground utilities were installed, the sites were completely graded and base rock was installed, and
the parking/driveway was put in. No additional underground work will be necessary. The only construct
processes that remain for the completion of the final four units are the construction of the building
foundations and backfill against them.
18.5.7.030 Application Submission Requirements
B. Plan Submittal.
1. The current tree survey indicates only one tree will need to be removed for the construction of a
unit. A Cedrus Atlantica will be too close to the final construction of 905 Bellview and will have
to be removed (tree is noted as 11 on the attached survey). Also, the Arborist recommends the
removal of tree 8 on the survey as it is unstable. It's removal is not required for the construction
of 903 Bellview, however. The Arborist further recommends thinning of the cluster of 5 pines,
collectively indicated as 2-6 on the attached plan, so the strongest tree(s) will be able to thrive.
2. It approved, the trees would be removed during the month of January, 2016.
3. This is the initial application. All the existing trees were protected, and the protection measures
inspected by the City of Ashland, during the underground phase of the development of these
lots. There was no Planning Action that specifically dealt with any of these trees.
4. New trees will be planted in accordance with the requirements of the Section 18.5.7.050.A of
the Municipal Code in locations on the lots more conducive to their survival and further away
from new construction. New trees more appropriate to an urban environment will also be
selected. The project Arborist will recommend replacement trees.
5. The Arborist performed a visual inspection of the property and produced the report during the
week before December 2, 2015.
6. A tree protection plan and detail is on the tree survey document and is hereby included in the
construction documents for the project.
7. If needed, the Arborist's report is available for review by the City.
