ASHLAND PLANNING DIVISION
FINDINGS & ORDERS
PLANNING ACTION: PA-2016-00587
SUBJECT PROPERTY: 872 Siskiyou Boulevard
OWNER: John Shrode
APPLICANT: Suncrest Homes, LLC
DESCRIPTION: A request for a Variance to allow for the construction of a new
driveway at 872 Siskiyou Boulevard. The Variance is required to construct a new driveway that
is proposed to be less than 100 feet from an existing driveway on Siskiyou Boulevard.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Low Density Multiple-Family Residential;
ZONING: R-2; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 lE 09DA; TAX LOTS: 6900.
SUBMITTAL DATE: March 30, 2016
DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: June 1, 2016
STAFF APPROVAL DATE: July 21, 2016
FINAL DECISION DATE: August 2, 2016
APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: February 2, 2017
DECISION
The subject property is approximately 6,098 square feet, oriented north/south and fronts the south side
of Siskiyou Boulevard. The subject property currently has no structures, driveway, or utilities. The
subject lot is zoned R-2 and is consistent with the surrounding zoning district.
The application is for a Variance to Intersection and Driveway Separation Standards. More specifically,
the Variance is to allow for a driveway separation of less than 100 feet on a Boulevard. The applicant
proposes to build a new driveway approximately 80 feet from the nearest driveway located to the
northwest. The proposed driveway is necessary to gain legal access the subject parcel for development.
Due to unique circumstances on the property, including lot size and layout, the proposed location of the
driveway will affect the location of a proposed single-family dwelling.
The subject property is located in the City of Ashland's Nationally Registered Siskiyou-Hargadine
Historic District. The subject parcel is relatively small, narrow, and irregularly shaped. The adjacent
property located to the west is developed with a single-family dwelling, has driveway access off
Siskiyou Boulevard, and is zoned R-2. To the south and east, the parcels are vacant, currently used for
parking, and zoned R-2. The parcel adjacent to the east has a driveway access off Siskiyou Boulevard.
Right-of-way is located adjacent to the north of the subject parcel. The applicant requested an access
easement from all three adjacent parcels as a preferred means of access to the subject parcel. However,
the adjacent property owners denied these requests for an access easement. Therefore, a Variance is
required to allow for the construction of a driveway on the subject property. No trees are proposed for
removal as part of the application. The aforementioned circumstances lead Staff to believe that the
application satisfies the first two approval criterion in Ashland Municipal Code (AMC) section
18.5.5.050.
The applicant will benefit from having the use of a new driveway that is required in order to develop the
subject property. In addition, it is evident from aerial photography that the property was developed with
a structure and driveway at some point in the past that have since been removed. Therefore, Staff has
PA #2016-00587
872 Siskiyou Boulevard/MMS
Page 1
i
determined that, "the proposal's benefits will be greater than any negative impacts", and thus satisfies
approval criterion number three AMC section 18.5.5.050.
The property owner is trying to accommodate a new driveway and small single-family dwelling on a lot
with unique circumstances. These include the small size of the lot, lack of a legal access, and the
protection of a large cedar tree. The applicant has not requested a property line adjustment or partition,
which affect the proposed non-conforming setback. Staff does not believe that the requested Variance is
self-imposed. Therefore, the application satisfies approval criterion number four in AMC section
18.5.5.050.
On June 8, 2016, the applicant presented the development proposal to the Ashland Historic Commission
for their review and recommendation. The proposed Variance to allow for the construction of a new
driveway affects the location and design of the proposed single-family dwelling; therefore, staff
requested that the historic commission make recommendations regarding both. During the meeting, the
commission expressed reservations about the proposal noting several inconsistencies within the
application materials. The commission recommended that the applicant make several changes to the
design and layout of the proposed development and asked that they return at the next regular meeting to
present the changes.
On July 6, 2016, the historic commission reviewed the application proposal for a second time at their
regular meeting. The commission noted that the applicant made the requested changes and corrections to
the application. These changes included correcting site plan measurements, orienting the building
perpendicular to the right-of-way, moving parking spaces back, moving the building forward, and
several design modifications to the dwelling. The commission recommended approving the application
as presented.
Overall, Staff feels that the applicant has addressed any potential negative impacts associated with the
proposed Variance. Due to the unique circumstances of the property, the proposal does not have any
apparent adverse effects on the livability of the impact area. After review of the application submittals,
Staff has decided that all applicable criteria have been satisfied.
The approval criteria for a Variance are described in AMC Chapter 18.5.5.050.A; as follows:
1. The variance is necessary because the subject code provision does not account for special or unique
physical circumstances of the subject site, such as topography, natural features, adjacent
development, or similar circumstances. A legal lot determination may be sufficient evidence of a
hardship for purposes of approving a variance.
2. The variance is the minimum necessary to address the special or unique physical circumstances
related to the subject site.
3. The proposal's benefits will be greater than any negative impacts on the development of the adjacent
uses and will further the purpose and intent of this ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan of the
City.
4. The need for the variance is not self-imposed by the applicant or property owner. For example, the
variance request does not arise as result of a property line adjustment or land division approval
previously granted to the applicant.
Planning Action #2016-00587 complies with all applicable City ordinances with the imposition of the
conditions attached below. Therefore, Planning Action 42016-00587 is approved. If any one or more of
the following conditions are found to be invalid, for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action
42016-00587 is denied. The following are the conditions and they are attached to the approval:

Attn: Mark Schexnayder, Assistant Planner
20 E Main Street
Ashland, Oregon 97520
RE: Incompleteness Determination for PA-2016-00587
0 Siskiyou Blvd
Dear Mr. Schexnayder.
E
.Suncrest Homes has reviewed Mr. Schexnayder's two comments and prepared the
individual responses below along with their associated comments. Suncrest homes has
also investigated staff's concerns specific to other City departments (Electric and Public
Works Departments) and has.all the pertinent information needed regarding the subject
lot and development costs.
PLANNING REVIEW COMMENT:
1. Written justification for the proposed Variance outlining the benefits and potential
negative impacts of the proposed house site and design on the development of the
adjacent uses. The findings should address how the proposal will further the purpose
and intent of the land use ordinance specifically with regards to the historical
development pattern of the area (AMC 18.5.5.050.A.3). Schematic and architectural
elevation drawings of the proposed development are also required as part of this
application (AMC 18.5.5.040.8.5).
APPLICANT RESPONSE
The subject lot has very little frontage on Siskiyou Blvd. Total frontage is approximately
42' which is a unique physical circumstance due to how narrow it is compared to current
lot standards in the R-2 zone. The requested variance to reestablish the driveway is not
self-imposed. The applicant did not create the lot and did not remove the formerly
established driveway. Additionally, the lot is extremely narrow and due to this unique
physical circumstance the applicant has gone to great lengths to design a residence
that fits within the lot's unusual parameters and current zoning code.
The zoning of the subject lot is R-2. The applicant is proposing a small single family
home. This is allowed in the R-2 zoning. Therefore, this application meets the purpose
and intent of the land use ordinance. Furthermore, all adjacent parcels are also zoned
R-2. As such, the proposed house site and design will have no irregular impacts on the
adjacent uses because a single family home is allowed in the R-2 zone. Therefore, the
proposed small home is not only allowed to be built on the subject lot but it is also
compatible with all surrounding lots and structures. Regarding the historical
development pattern of the area, the former home that was on the site totaled 700
square feet. The proposed single family home is 497 square feet with a 120 square foot
I of 2
front porch. The total area of the proposed structure is therefore 612 square feet. This
mirrors the pre-existing structure and the former development pattern of the area.
Although, the variance is only for the driveway the applicant has submitted a floor plan
and elevations of the proposed small home. The applicant is also planning to submit
the plans and elevations to the historic commission to assure compatibility with the
historic district.
I
The applicant has exhausted all other avenues to obtain access to the lot. The
applicant has reviewed all recorded documents in an effort to find existing easements
and contacted all the adjacent lot owners to explore the possibility of sharing driveways
or receiving an easement. The applicant's requests have all been denied (see attached
letters from the original application) and therefore reestablishing the former driveway on
Siskiyou Blvd is the only avenue available to legally access the subject lot.
Furthermore, the applicant believes that this application is a benefit for a number of
reasons. Small homes and cottages were always the heart of Ashland's historic district.
Although, many of the cottages have been expanded over the years the original homes
were typically small and the applicant is proposing a home in line with the original
historic district norms. Additionally, the proposed structure is similar and compatible
with the original structure that was located on the property. Finally, the lot also has a
large 50' Cedar Tree which is preserved with this application.
PLANNING REVIEW COMMENT
2. A Tree protection plan including an inventory of all tress six-inches in diameter at
breast height and greater on the property and winch 15 feet of the property boundaries
(AMC 18.4.5.030.8). The inventory must include detailed information including, but not
limited to species, diameter at breast height, condition, and drip line/protection area of
each tree. The plan must clearly identify trees to be preserved and those to be
removed. in addition, the applicant shall submit an arborists's report detailing the health
of the existing cedar tree and the hazards that the tree will encounter as part of the
proposed Variance (AMC 18.4.5.030.B.3).
APPLICANT RESPONSE:
See attached arborist report for reference on the Tree Protection Plan/Arborist Report.

What is actually being applied for is a variance for a driveway separation for a pre-existing lot that had a
single family home on it until sometime in the early 80's. As part of that application the applicant was
asked to provide drawings of the house to be proposed on this lot.
The owner of the lot would like to build a very small 437 Sq. Ft. home that is energy efficient and
sustainable. As you can see by the site plan this home is set very far back on the lot in order to save the
large existing tree on the property, even at 437 Sq. Ft. there is not enough room with the setbacks and
parking requirements to fit the home in front of the existing tree. So just a general note this home sits
over 50' back from the property line and is behind a very large pine tree, these factors plus the size of
the home means there will be very little visual impact of this home. But none the less the applicant feels
they have meet the intent and spirit of Historical Districts requirements 18.4.2.050, please see the
submitted plans as evidence of this compliance.
The colors are not yet determined and will be submitted and approved prior to the pulling of a building
permit. The roof is requested to be a metal roof, although not preferred in the historic district there are
a few example of such that currently exist in the district. Please keep in mind the previous discussion
regarding the visual impact of this homes size and location. Considering the great lengths the owner has
gone to create a sustainable and reduced carbon footprint of a home, to force this person to use a
petroleum product on this home doesn't seem fair or reasonable.
Just a note of clarification, all the driveway and turnaround are will be gravel.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Charlie Hamilton

VARIANCE
18.5.5.050
1. The variance is necessary because the subject code provision does not account for special or unique physical circumstances of the subject site, such as
topography, natural features, adjacent development, or similar circumstances. A legal lot determination may be sufficient evidence of a hardship for
purposes of approving a variance,
2. The variance is the minimum necessary to address the special or unique physical circumstances related to the subject site. j,
3. The proposal's benefits will be greater than any negative impacts on the development of the adjacent uses and will further the purpose and intent of this C
ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
4. The need for the variance is not self-imposed by the applicant or property owner. For example, the variance request does not arise as result of a property
line adjustment or land division approval previously granted to the applicant.

Zoning Permit Application submitted 3/28/16
Pre-application meeting held on 319116
872 Siskiyou Blvd,
Ashland Oregon 97520

New Driveway Variance:
Variance for Driveway Separation (AMC 18.4.3.080.C.3)
1. The variance is necessary because the subject code provision does not account for special
or unique physical circumstances of the subject site, such as topography, natural features,
adjacent development, or similar circumstances. A legal lot determination may be sufficient
evidence of a hardship for purposes of approving a variance.
The applicant proposes a variance to Ashland Land Use Ordinance 18.4.3 to reestablish a formerly
existing drivetivay that served 872 Siskiyou Blvd. The house that was formerly constructed at this location
burned doivn and subsequent to 1981 the Cite ofAshland removed the lot's driveway access to Siskiyou
Blvd. The former location of the subject driveway is depicted in Figure 1. Although the establishment of
the former driveway and lot predate the subject zoning code requiring a variance, reestablishing the
driveway will locate it within 80' of the nearest driveway to the northivest tivhich serves 862 Siskiyou Blvd.
As such, a variance to the 100'distance standard between drivelvays on boulevard streets (see Site plan)
is needed to access the subject lot. The applicant has exhausted all other avenues to obtain access to the
lot. The applicant has reviewed all recorded documents in an effort to find existing easements and
contacted all the adjacent lot owners to explore the possibility of sharing driveways or receiving an
easement. The applicant's requests have all been denied (see attached letters) and therefore
reestablishing the former driveway on Siskiyou Blvd is the only avenue available to legally access the
subject lot.
2. The variance is the minimum necessary to address the special or unique physical
circumstances related to the subject site.
The subject lot has very little frontage on Siskiyou Blvd. Total frontage is approximately 42'tivhich is a
unique physical circumstance due to holy narrow it is compared to current lot standards in the R-2 zone.
The lot also has a large Cedar Tree which the applicant intends to keep as healthy as possible. As such,
the applicant has proposed to reestablish the driveway nearest the eastern property line which minimizes
any potential impact to the tree (Tree Plan Attached).
3. The proposal's benefits wilt be greater than any negative impacts on the development of
the adjacent uses and will further the purpose and intent of this ordinance and the
Comprehensive Plan of the City.
The proposed residence will not have any negative impacts on the development of the adjacent properties.
The request hill allow for the construction of a new single fancily residence thus allowing residential
development in a residential zone. Additionally, there ivill be no loss ofparking on Siskiyou Blvd by the
reestablishment of the driveway because there is no street parking at this location.
4. The need for the variance is not self-imposed by the applicant or property owner. For
example, the variance request does not arise as result of a property line adjustment or land
division approval previously granted to the applicant.
The requested variance to reestablish the driveway is not self-unposed. The applicant did not create the
lot and did not remove the formerly established driveway Additionally, the lot is extremely narrow and
due to this unique physical circumstance the applicant has gone to great lengths to design a residence
that fits tivithin the lot's unusual parameters. The call-out box on the Site Plan details the various lot
coverages.

Driveway Area Design Variance:
Variance to Vehicle Area Design (AMC 18.4.3.080.A)
At the Pre Application Conference the applicant explained that the proposed total off-street parking and
driveway area, including the driveway turnaround, total 20.5%. Therefore, a variance is not required
because the proposed Site Plan is in compliance ivith AMC 18.4.3.080.A.3 which stipulates these areas
may not exceed 25% of the area of the front yard.

RE: Incompleteness Determination for PA-2016-00587
0 Siskiyou Blvd.
Dear Mr. Steinbergs,
After reviewing the March 30, 2016 application submittal requesting a Variance (Type II) to the
driveway separation requirements for the property located at 0 Siskiyou Blvd., I have determined that
the application is incomplete. Incomplete applications are subject to delay in accordance with state law
(ORS 227.178), and cannot be further processed until the missing information listed below is turned in.
1. Written justification for the proposed Variance outlining the benefits and potential negative
impacts of the proposed house site and design on the development of the adjacent uses. The findings
should address how the proposal will further the purpose and intent of the land use ordinance
specifically with regards to the historical development pattern of the area (AMC 18.5.5.050.A.3).
Schematic and architectural elevation drawings of the proposed development are also required as
part of this application (AMC 18.5.5.040. B. 5).
2. ,4 Tree protection plan including an inventory of all trees six-inches in diameter at breast height
and greater on the property and within 15 feet of the property boundaries (AMC 18.4.5.030. B). The
inventory must include detailed information including, but not limited to species, diameter at breast
height, condition, and drip line/protection area of each tree. The plan must clearly identify trees to be
preserved and those to be removed. In addition, the applicant shall submit an arborist's report
detailing the health of the existing cedar tree and the hazards that the tree will encounter as part of
the proposed Variance (AMC 18.4.5.030. B. 3).
Other Issues:
Staff has concerns regarding the following issues specific to other City departments. The applicant
should address these issues directly with the applicable departments and report back to Planning
Staff any additional changes, requirements, or other pertinent information necessary to the
application.
• Electric Department- Have had no contact with current applicant (Suncrest), but spoke to realtor prior
to sale of the property. There are no electrical facilities in place to serve this lot. Previous services were
from an adjacent property and there are no easements in place. The applicant will either need to
obtain an easement or extend new underground services in Siskiyou Boulevard.
• Public Works Department - Have had no contact with current applicant (Suncrest), but spoke to
realtor prior to sale of the property. There are no water or sewer facilities in place to serve this lot. It is

unclear to Building or Public Works how the property was previously served, but there are no
