The proposed Accessory Residential Unit is to remain in the existing location on the property and will have a small addition to the existing structure. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Low Density Multiple Family Residential; ZONING: R-2; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 lE 09 DB; TAX LOT: 5900. SUBMITTAL DATE: February 12, 2016 DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: February 23, 2016 STAFF APPROVAL DATE: April 12, 2016 FINAL DECISION DATE: April 25, 2016 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: October 25, 2017 DECISION The application involves a request for Site Design Review approval to convert an existing 280 square foot detached garage structure to an Accessory Residential Unit (ARU) behind the existing home at 574 Allison Street. The subject parcel is located on the south side of Allison Street, with vehicle access taken off the rear alley. The property is rectangular in shape, with an area of approximately 7,100 square feet. The parcel and immediate surrounding uses are zoned R-2, Multiple-Family Residential. Allison Street is identified as a Neighborhood Street and is improved with paving, curb and gutters in place. Sidewalks exist in front of the subject property and throughout the rest of the street. According to Jackson County tax records, the property currently has a 726 square foot single- family dwelling constructed in 1938. The application materials indicate an existing single-car garage of approximately 280 square feet also exists on the property. The applicant is requesting approval to allow for the conversion of this structure to an Accessory Residential Unit in compliance with the Ashland Municipal Code section 18.2.3.040. Sizes of ARU's are limited to 50 percent of the Gross Habitable Floor Area (GHFA) of the primary residence, and, no greater than 1,000 square feet. In this case, the existing 280 square foot structure would comply with the size limitation to be considered an ARU. A small addition to the existing structure of approximately 105 square feet will make the structure 385 square feet in total. The total of 385 square feet is 22 square feet more than the maximum 50 percent GHFA; however, the lot is zoned R-2 and greater than 7,000 square feet, which allows for a full second unit. A full second unit on this property is not limited to 50 percent of the GHFA of the primary E residence. Therefore, based on these findings and the applicants desire to retain the diminutive character of the existing structure the new ARU complies with the GHFA requirement under PA #2016-00275 574 Allison Street/MMS Page 1 AMC section 18.2.3.040. The new addition to the structure will comply with all current land use ordinance requirements including a three foot side yard setback in accordance with section 18.2.5.060 of the AMC. In addition, the applicant has proposed to create two 9' x 18' off-street parking spaces located off the rear alley and the Staff Advisor will grant one on-street vehicle parking credit to meet the necessary three (3) required parking spaces to serve the existing home and new ARU. The parking spaces will be constructed using porous parking pavers and will have the required 5 foot landscaped buffer screening the parking from the neighboring property to the west. A zoning permit has already been issued for the construction of a storage shed of approximately 120 square feet to accommodate the three required bicycle parking spaces. Trash and recycling containers shall be located inside of the proposed rear fence and screened from view from adjacent properties and public right-of-ways. A condition of approval has been added to address this requirement under section 18.4.4.030.G of the AMC. j I The existing garage (now the proposed ARIL) has a right side yard setback of approximately three feet and the proposed addition will also meet the required side yard setback of three feet from the west property line. All other setbacks for the structures conform to current land use code requirements. The application materials state the proposed lot coverage will be approximately 27.5 percent (1,953 square feet) impervious surfaces including the primary dwelling, ARU, shed, porches, walkways, and parking area, which is consistent with the submitted site plan map. Thus, the proposed ARU meets the code requirements for setbacks and lot coverage. Finally, the applicant does not propose any tree removals and has submitted a tree protection plan meeting the requirements of AMC section 18.4.5. The proposed addition to the ARU is to the south side and is within three feet of a large silver maple tree. The applicant states that the existing garage already has a large opening and header construction for the automatic door to open facing the alleyway. For the applicant, utilizing this opening for the addition make most sense for construction and financial reasons. In order to mitigate damage to the existing tree the applicant obtained an arborist report from Beaver Tree Service. The arborist recommends 4 fencing around the tree and cutting roots cleanly by hand and covering with wet burlap sacks until they can be covered with backfill. A condition has been added requiring six foot chain link fencing be placed around the drip line of the subject tree to the greatest extent possible. A landscape and irrigation plan has been submitted including a new street tree located in the park row off of Allison Street. Site Review Approval Criteria Where accessory residential units are allowed, they are subject to Site Design Review under chapter 18.5.2. Accordingly, applicants are required to demonstrate compliance with the criteria for Site Review approval. The following text addresses the applicant's proposal and the applicable criteria. The first criterion for Site Review approval is that, "The proposal complies with all of the applicable provisions of the underlying zone (part 18.2), including but not limited to: building i PA #2016-00275 574 Allison StreeVWS ' Page 2 and yard setbacks, lot area and dimensions, density and floor area, lot coverage, building height, building orientation, architecture, and other applicable standards. " The existing structure and proposed addition conforms to the underlying zone's density and floor area requirements, maximum building height, lot coverage, area and dimensions, setbacks, building orientation, and architecture. The second approval criterion is that, "The proposal complies with applicable overlay zone requirements (part 18.3). " The proposal is complies with all standards for the Historic District Overlay. The third approval criterion is that, "The proposal complies with the applicable Site Development and Design Standards of part 18.4, except as provided by subsection E. " The application notes the existing structure will have a small addition of 105 square feet. The proposed addition will have a gabled roof in line with the existing gable roof on the single-car garage. Siding and trim will match the existing primary dwelling with 7 1/4 inch lap siding having a 6 inch reveal, and trim will be 4 inch. Two parking spaces are required for the existing residence, and a third is needed for the proposed ARU. The application notes that there will be two off-street parking spaces off the rear alley and approximate 50 feet of street frontage is available for parking, which would allow for one on-street credit to satisfy the parking requirements. The fourth criterion is that, "The proposal complies with the applicable standards in section 18.4.6 Public Facilities and that adequate capacity of City facilities for water, server, electricity, urban storm drainage, paved access to and throughout the property and adequate transportation can and will be provided to the subject property. " The application materials explain the proposed ARU will be connected to the services for the existing single family dwelling. A separate gas and electrical meter will be installed for the new unit in conjunction with a new address. The applicants have contacted the Water, Sewer and Street Departments and they have all indicated they see no need for additional improvements to accommodate the proposed unit. Allison Street is paved, with curbs, gutters, park-row, and a sidewalk in place along the property's full frontage. CONCLUSIONS Two public comments were received with regard to the proposal. Kathleen Mackris and Kristen Beers submitted written comments in regards to the existing parking situation and multi-family uses of the neighborhood. Many of the properties located on Allison Street are zoned for multiple family residential uses although historically the neighborhood may have had mostly single family dwellings. On-street vehicle parking may have been impacted by more recent multiple family dwelling construction in the neighborhood as well. However, the applicant's proposal for a small ARU is in compliance with the current land use ordinance. Planning Action 2016-00275 was reviewed by the Ashland Historic Commission at the regular meeting on March 2, 2016. The commission recommended that the siding for the proposed ARU be six inch lap siding and that the proposed addition have a gabled roof. A condition has been added to make the requested design changes. Therefore, with the conditions below, staff finds that the proposed unit would be PA #2016-00275 574 Allison StreeVMMS Page 3 in conformance with the standards of the R-2 zone, the minimum requirements of the Accessory Residential Unit and Site Design Review chapters of the Ashland Municipal Code. The criteria for an Accessory Residential Unit are described in AMC Chapter 18.2.3.040, as follows: A. R-1 Zone. Accessory residential units in the R-1 zone shall meet the following requirements. 1. One accessory residential unit is allowed per lot, and the maximum number of dwelling units shall not exceed two per lot. 2. Accessory residential units are not subject to the density or minimum lot area requirements of the zone, except that accessory residential units shall be counted in the density of developments created under the Performance Standards Option in chapter 18.3.9. 3. The maximum gross habitable floor area (GHFA) of the accessory residential unit shall not exceed 50 percent of the GHFA of the primary residence on the lot, and shall not exceed 1, 000 square feet GHFA. 4. The proposal shall conform to the overall maximum lot coverage and setback requirements of the underlying zone. 5. Additional parking shall be provided in conformance with the off-street parking provisions for single-family dwellings in section 18.4.3.040, except that parking spaces, turn-arounds, and driveways are exempt from the paving requirements in subsection 18.4.3.080.E.1. C. R-2 and R-3 Zones. Accessory residential units in the R-2 and R-3 zones shall meet the standards in subsection 18.2.3.040.A, except that the maximum gross habitable floor area (GHFA) of the accessory residential structure shall not exceed 50 percent of the GHFA of the primary residence on the lot, and shall not exceed 500 square feet GHFA. The criteria for Site Review approval are described in AMC Chapter 18.5.2.050 as follows: A. Underlying Zone: The proposal complies with all of the applicable provisions of the underlying zone (part 18.2), including but not limited to: building and yard setbacks, lot area and dimensions, density and floor area, lot coverage, building height, building orientation, architecture, and other applicable standards. B. Overlay Zones: The proposal complies with applicable overlay zone requirements (part 18.3). C. Site Development and Design Standards: The proposal complies with the applicable Site Development and Design Standards of part 18.4, except as provided by subsection E, below. D. City Facilities: The proposal complies with the applicable standards in section 18.4.6 Public Facilities and that adequate capacity of City facilities for water, sewer, electricity, urban storm drainage, paved access to and throughout the property and adequate transportation can and will be provided to the subject property. E. Exception to the Site Development and Design Standards. The approval authority may approve exceptions to the Site Development and Design Standards of part 18.4 if the circumstances in either subsection 1 or 2, below, are found to exist. PA #2016-00275 574 Allison Street/MMS Page 4 I } 1. There is a demonstrable difficulty meeting the specific requirements of the Site Development and Design Standards due to a unique or unusual aspect of an existing structure or the proposed use of a site; and approval of the exception will not substantially negatively impact adjacent properties, and approval of the exception is consistent with the stated purpose of the Site Development and Design; and the exception requested is the minimum which would alleviate the difficulty.; or 2. There is no demonstrable difficulty in meeting the specific requirements, but granting the exception will result in a design that equally or better achieves the stated purpose of the Site Development and Design Standards. In staff's assessment, with conditions, the application complies with applicable ordinances and meets all required criteria for approval of the conversion of the existing garage to an Accessory Residential Unit. Planning Action 92016-00275 is approved with the following conditions.

They did, however, have a few recommendations for this project to have better compatibility within the Historic District. I have made these changes and attached the modified Site Plan with this addendum. In summary, the 82 sq. ft. addition will have a gable style roof to match the south facing gable end on the existing garage. All siding and trim will match the primary residence with 7 lap siding having a 6" reveal, and the trim to be 4". Also, their final recommendation was to set the proposed storage shed 4' off the alleyway using the Rear Yard Exception Setback for properties on alleyways. This modification is shown on the updated Site Plan Map. Landscaping concerns were addressed by assuring the audience that after construction, yard maintenance and watering of landscaping will be included in any rental fees and therefore be under the care and attention of the owner. Staff has recommended that one street tree be added to the park row on Allison St. As indicated on the Site Plan, a Liquid Amber Sweet Gum will be planted in the NE section (with most sun) of the park row. A detailed Landscape Plan is also attached for post construction and the next appropriate planting season. This Landscape Plan has been submitted as well, to the City of Ashland Lawn Replacement Program on March 9, 2016. In regards to the health effects and hazards to the Silver Maple tree south of the Garage/ARU that might occur during construction, a report from a certified arborist, Clarence Wangle, at Beaver Tree Service is enclosed. His recommendations for clean cuts to any roots, wet burlap bagging any exposed roots for as short a time as possible during construction, and surrounding the tree with orange plastic fencing in a 3' radius from the trunk, will be closely followed-to protect this tree. The two Off-Street parking spaces off the alleyway will have their places identified/defined by concrete parking bumpers at the head of each space, as indicated on the attached modified Site Plan. The corrected property lines have been identified and marked on the updated Site Plan. After reviewing City of Ashland's Plat and Google Earth maps, as well as shooting a laser measure line from the existing east fence line, the west property line is now correctly located 4' from the existing garage wall. These measurements now correspond to the 50' width of the property as recorded with Jackson County. As a result, now being greater than 3' from the property line, no firewall or window elimination is required for the west wall of the garage. A slight modification to the garage addition (making it 14'x7.5') will also comply with the 3' side yard setback allowable for ARU's under 15' and more than 50' from the street. This modification makes the total addition 105 sq.ft., just 23 sq.ft. larger than the originally planned 82 sq.ft., and is shown on the attached Site Plan update. Site Design Justifications: Clarification of reasoning for ARU addition bumping out toward the alleyway is as follows. The existing garage already has a large opening and header construction for the automatic garage door to open facing the alleyway. The access to park in the garage has been from the alleyway and therefore this large opening already faces the south side of the property. Utilizing this opening for the addition makes most sense construction-wise and financially. In addition, when completed, the ARU will have a large yard area in front of the south facing entry, which doesn't face the primary residence. This design will afford privacy for each unit, even though they will essentially share the overall huge fenced backyard. t; 3110/2016 Image (2) jpg (2544x3504) yy`t y _i' Zl F7~ 1l T SERVICE REL vorer U Ta¢e 6A®E March 10 2016 Client: Sue Demarinis 574 Allison St. Ashland, OR. 97520 City of Ashland 20 E.

J P~NTRy C, 0--Se1` - X "v To Whom It May Concern: I am writing in response to the Notice of Application on Planning Action: PA-2016-00275; conversion of an existing single car garage to an Accessory Rental Unit. I have lived on Allison Street since 1991 and in the past several years have seen some unwelcome changes in our Historically Designated neighborhood, primarily around non-owner occupied and multi-unit dwellings. I understand that this neighborhood is zoned R-2 and has mixed use properties. In the past this created a nice diversity. However, with the recent change in ownership of the 6-plex at 565 Allison, the street parking has become untenable. It is my fear that the addition of another dwelling unit at 574 Allison will only contribute to the congestion. I am not in favor of this conversion due to the impact of parking and the concern about maintenance of the property as it will not be owner occupied. It is my understanding that the Historic Commission has approved the garage conversion, so I am assuming that it is a foregone conclusion that it will be approved by the Planning Commission. Be that as it may, I would like the commission members to know my opinion. It is also my understanding that the property owner, Susan DeMarinis will not be occupying the single family dwelling, which will also be rented, as it has unfortunately been for many years. It is my hope that off-street parking will be mandatory for the ADU and that the front unit will also use off- street parking. I am also hoping that Ms. DeMarinis will see fit to upgrade the existing single family dwelling and keep it maintained. Last summer I was compelled to call Weed Abatement and request that they contact the owner to mow the grass as it was a fire hazard. In short, the property is one of several properties which are blight on the neighborhood. While I understand the concept of in-fill, I find it distressing that this comes at the price of eroding the integrity and livability of long established neighborhoods and would like the City to take a closer look at how infill impacts established, historic neighborhoods and what can be done to mitigate the effects of increased street parking and the effects of non-owner occupied dwellings on these neighborhoods. I was a real estate appraiser for many years and know firsthand how poorly maintained non-owner occupied units and lack of parking affect housing values. I must say that I find it highly ironic that Ms. DeMarinis lives on Normal Avenue which is in a battle over in-fill. If it is true that she is an opponent of that project, and yet feels perfectly comfortable using the concept of in-fill to her advantage in our neighborhood, well that just smacks of NIMBY. I trust that you will take my comments under consideration during the review process. Sincerely, d Kathleen Mackris 549 Allison Street Kristin Beers 550 Allison St. Ashland, OR 97520 Bill Molnar, Community Development Director City of Ashland Planning Division 51 Windburn Way Ashland, OR 97520 NAR 07 016 RE: Planning Action: PA-2016-00275 To Whom It May Concern: It is with a sense of sad resignation that I sit to write this letter. I feel there is so much I want to express and yet, I know that I have little to no recourse for my concerns. For some of these concerns I just want to feel that I am heard and for some of them I wish I had a path to action. Regardless, I am taking the time to write in response to the Notice of Application on Planning Action: PA-2016-00275; Conversion of an existing single-car garage to an Accessory Rental Unit. Susan DeMarinis is possibly a very lovely woman with the best intentions for her newly purchased. property in our neighborhood. However, her request to add an additional rental unit to her recently purchased lot is indicative of a trend that I believe is eroding the fabric and character of our very historic neighborhood. This neighborhood, Prachts Addition, is full of contributing buildings to the Siskiyou-Hargidine Historic District. Most of these houses were small, for single families and were built at the turning of the 20th century. Since then, many of these beautiful examples of historic architecture have either been chopped up into multiple residences (four beautiful old houses just on our block of Allison have four or more residences) or have been crowded out with additional dwelling units. The resulting hodge-podge of structures may be delightful for infill, but has lead to some jarring visual results. The visuals are one thing, but the infill brings many other issues I'd like to speak about. I am an urban planner by schooling and training, so I understand the desire for infill and a strong urban growth boundary. I am also a mother, raising young children, in what I was hoping to be my forever home. I believe that with infill should also be some ordinances to address the preservation of the historic character and scope of a neighborhood. These ordinances are lacking and as such, with the infill, are coming numerous issues that are leading to the deterioration of our neighborhood and making my neighbors and me frustrated and saddened. We do not expect or wish for a stagnant neighborhood, but we wish for a maintained and stable neighborhood. My primary issues I'd like to raise in this letter are: 1) parking; 2) property maintenance; 3) historic preservation; 4) concern for a big beautiful maple tree. Parking: This is the major issue and concern I'd like to address. With additional residents will inevitably come more cars. Parking has become such an issue on Allison Street that the gutter in front of my home has not been able to be swept for a year. I can no longer rely on getting to park and unload my car in front of my house, and after a haul to Costco to feed two growing boys, parking as close as possible is pretty important. Many of the rentals on our block are now catering to SOU students. As such, there are multiple students in a bedroom, and multiple cars on the street. Large pick-up trucks from Nevada park for extended periods of time in front of my home instead of in the lot behind the apartments, perhaps because the lot is not as close and generally full of long-term parked boats, ATVs, and storage units. Again, because of the constant on-street-parking, the gutters are filled with rotting leaves and debris because the sweepers have to go around the cars. Property Maintenance: Some of the rentals on our block are meticulously maintained. Their landscaping is kept up and they are wonderful neighbors. Many units, however, are not maintained well and are degrading the character of our neighborhood. These units are overrun with weeds, overgrown shrubs, have boats or horse trailers parked on the lawn, and are a substantial blight. My neighbors and I call the landowners to at least mow the lawns to reduce the fire hazard but our pleas fall on deaf ears. The residence in this planning action is one such rental property that left the lawn un-mown to the extent that the renters posted a sign on their door calling the property a "deer park". I would like to see the new owner attempt to re-habilitate the "landscaping" on the current dwelling, and show some commitment to her new neighbors, before building more units. Historic Preservation: Additional units will further destroy the historic "family residence" (house with yard or garden space) feel of our neighborhood. We already have lost so many great homes to multiple unit complexes, that I am chagrined to see yet another lot go. Small "granny-flats" might have been common on larger lots, but when unit upon unit is stacked on the same lot, there is no longer an authentic historic contribution to the neighborhood. I also have concerns about the styling and feel of the proposed building. On Fairview, just behind this lot, an additional dwelling unit above a garage was put in that is completely out of character with the surrounding dwellings. The new unit, while a lovely small, modern, place, looks jarring next to the "cottage" homes on the street. I don't understand the purpose of the historic district designation, when such a modern looking structure can be put up without regard for the overall character of the neighborhood. I am concerned that the new unit proposed will have a similar disregard for character. Tree Preservation: This is a very minor point, but I am concerned about the possible impacts the construction will have on the beautiful old maple tree right next to the garage proposed for expansion. I know I live in an R-2 zoned neighborhood. I know the desire for infill. I am calling for a closer and better look at how that infill takes place. How many residences per block are appropriate? Do we want ALL single-family residences in this area to go to multi-family? Where is the conversation about recourses for parking and landscaping maintenance, especially in a historic district?

Project Name: Garage -ARU conversion Anticipated Date: April 2016 Subject Property: 574 Allison Street, Ashland, OR 97520 Assessor's Map 39 1E 09DB Tax Lot 5900 Zoning: R-2 Property Owner: Susan DeMarinis Site Design Proposal: This application is for a conversion of an existing single story single-car garage, built in 1938 on the subject property, into an additional residential unit in the same location on the property, with an extension bumped out adding 82 square feet to the existing footprint. A proposal for a new storage shed of approximately 120 square feet to accommodate bicycle and outdoor gear is also included. The total square footage of the tax lot is 7,100 square feet, or 0.16 acre. The primary residence, approximately 726 square feet, is a two-bedroom, one bath single story house. The detached garage to be converted is 280 sq.ft. With the.proposed addition to the garage of 82 sq.ft, the total final square footage of the ARU will be 362 sq. ft. Since the subject property is zoned R-2, low density multi-family residential, and the gross habitable floor area (GHFA) of the ARU is just under 50% of the primary residence, this conversion will comply with the size requirements for an ARU to have no more than half the GHFA of the primary residence and will be less than the maximum allowable 500 square feet for an ARU. The project. proposal for the addition to the existing garage complies with side and rear yard setbacks under AMC Chpt 18.2.5.13.1 forARU's. The pre-existing garage location and height will not be altered. All modifications to convert the existing garage into a residential unit will comply with Ashland Building codes and recommended criteria. Compatibility with the surrounding historic district will be enhanced by the replacement of the decaying, peeling cedar shake siding with fiber-cement 7" lap siding and flat 4"trim around windows and gable ends. The new double paned vinyl windows will be single hung and match the trim color. Roofing type will not change. The small proposed.garage addition roof will match the existing composite shingles and have a sloping shed style off of the gable end. The siding and trim colors will match the primary residence when project is completed. Conversion of this garage into a residence will be compatible with the majority of the surrounding homes in this neighborhood which already have additional dwelling units on their alleyway access. This project proposes to provide two off-street parking spaces, approximately each 9ft. x 18 ft., off the rear alleyway. These porous paver parking spaces will have a 5' landscaped setback from the West property line and a 27 setback from the East property line. This property easily complies with the required parking necessary for the primary and ARU resident vehicles. The existing rear fence line shall be moved further North by approximately 4 feet to accommodate the new proposed storage shed along the alleyway. It will then meet current setback standards of 6' from side yards and 10' from rear alleyways. This proposed storage shed, approximately 10ft. x12 ft. or 120 sq. ft., will provide ample secure enclosed storage for bicycles, ski gear, snow tires, lawn furniture, garden tools, etc. It will not be a heated or guaranteed watertight space. Trash and recycling bins will be located along the rear alleyway, as indicated on Site Map. Subject Property: '574 Allison Street, Ashland, OR page 2 Project Name: Garage -ARU Conversion All trees will be preserved and protected on the subject property during and after any site disturbance. An arborist's recommendations will be followed during this project for protective fencing around significant trees and their root care, if needed. Inside the proposed fence lines, the existing mature landscaping will be enriched with new native, drought tolerant plantings, as well as sectioning off an area for a garden space. All existing landscaping, shrubs and trees will remain, especially the mature maple in the rear and the huge cedar in the front. A drip irrigation system is already installed for all the landscaped areas around the primary residence, as indicated on the Site Map. Expansion of this irrigation system will be installed to all new plantings. A proposed garden area is slated for the expansive backyard open space. With relocation of the West fence to the western property line, a new recreational area of approximately 546 sq. ft, will be added inside the fenced backyard. Within the backyard fenced area, there will be porous pathways of compacted decomposed granite allowing for drainage and storm water run-off. The alleyway access from the off-street parking area into the fenced property will have motion sensor lights directed onto the pathways and gate entry for safety and security. The percentage of lot coverage by structures will be: 726(primary)+362(ARU)+120(shed)+222(deck)+100(porch)+entrywalk(76) = 1606 sq. ft. / 7100 22% The percentage of lot coverage by'recreational'areas,landscaping and lawns will be: 2212(rear yard) + 600 (garden) + 546 (behind ARU) + 1346 (front lawn) = 4704 sq. ft, / 7100 = 65% The percentage of lot coverage by porous surfaces will be: 780(off alleyway) + 200(DG pathways) = 980 sq.ft. / 7100 = 13% This project will not be pursuing LEED certification since the proposed conversion is to an already existing building that would not qualify for such a program. Electric utilities will be upgraded to code for the ARU and a separate electric meter service will be installed near the existing one for the primary residence, as indicated on the Site Map. No gas utility will be provided to the RU since all heating and cooking needs will be serviced by electricity. An extension of water and sewer lines tie primary residence will be installed during the project, without installing a separate water meter for the ARU. All building permits and fees will be paid accordingly, including any SDC's incurred. Along with these utility upgrades, a new address will be required for the converted residential building. New address signage will be placed on the ARU, as well as on the new ARU mailbox (indicating new building address in rear) affixed to the primary residence facing Allison Street. f - i Thank you for the opportunity to review my proposal for this Garage -ARU Conversion at 574 Allison Street. i Respectfully submitted, _ 12 Susan DeMarinis 145 Normal Ave. Ashland, OR 97520 suedem~char$er.net Date: February 12, 2016 APPROX.
