The first is an eight- to nine-inch diameter Ponderosa Pine located on the greenway behind 1290 Greenmeadows Way; the applicant's tree care professional indicates that the tree is negatively impacting a Tilia east of it which would thrive if the Pine were removed. The second is a 24-inch diameter Scots Pine located on the greenway behind 1680 Greemneadows Way and proposed for removal because previous topping has caused remaining limbs to elongate unnaturally and created a hazard with broken limbs falling in several recent storms. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Single Family Residential; ZONING: R-1-7.5; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 IE 23BB; TAX LOTS: 504 and 536. SUBMITTAL DATE: March 22, 2017 DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: March 29, 2017 STAFF DECISION DATE: May 8, 2017 FINAL DECISION DATE (4:30 P.M.): May 22, 2017 EXPIRATION DATE: November 22, 2018 DECISION The subject properties are located on the common area owned by the Mountain Ranch Property Owners Association in the Mountain Ranch Subdivision, behind the homes at 1290 Green Meadows Way and 1680 Green Meadows Way. Both properties are zoned R-1-7.5 (Single Family Residential). The request is for two Tree Removal Permits. The first tree proposed for removal is an eight- to nine-inch diameter Ponderosa Pine located on the greenway behind 1290 Greenmeadows Way; the applicant's tree care professional indicates that this tree is negatively impacting a Tilia east of it which would thrive if the Pine were removed. The second tree proposed for removal is a 24-inch diameter Scots Pine located on the greenway behind 1680 Greenmeadows Way and proposed for removal because previous topping has caused remaining limbs to elongate unnaturally and created a hazard with broken limbs falling in several recent storms. The Tree Commission reviewed the request at its regular meeting on April 6, 2017 and unanimously recommended that it be approved as submitted, noting that the Tilia which would benefit from the Ponderosa Pine's removal was a fine specimen and that efforts to benefit this tree were merited. The criteria for Tree Removal Permit approval are described in . C 18.5.7.040.B 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 PA #2017-00499 1290-1680 Greenmeadows/dds Page 1 (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. 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. In staff's assessment, the request satisfies the applicable criteria for a Tree Removal Permit. Based on the materials provided, the application with the attached conditions complies with all applicable City ordinances. Therefore, Planning Action #2017-00499 is approved with the following conditions. If any one or more of the following conditions are found to be invalid for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action #2016-00499 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 two tree removals be mitigated as provided by ordinance with on-site replacement, off- site replacement or payment in lieu of replacement.

The first is an eight- to nine-inch diameter Ponderosa Pine located on the greenway behind 1290 Greenmeadows Way; the applicant's tree care professional indicates that the tree is negatively impacting a Tilia east of it which would thrive if the Pine were removed. The second is a 24-inch diameter Scots Pine located on the greenway behind 1680 Greenmeadows Way and proposed for removal because previous topping has caused remaining limbs to elongate unnaturally and created a hazard with broken limbs falling in several recent storms. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Single Family Residential; ZONING: R-1-7.5; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 391E 23613; TAX LOTS: 504 and 536. NOTE: The Ashland Tree Commission will also review this Planning Action on Thursday, April 6, 2017 at 6:00 PM in the Community Development and Engineering Services building (Siskiyou Room), located at 51 Winburn Way.

Any affected property owner or resident has a right to submit written comments to the City of Ashland Planning Division, 51 Winburn Way, Ashland, Oregon 97520 prior to 4:30 p.m. on the deadline date shown above. Ashland Planning Division Staff determine if a Land Use application is complete within 30 days of submittal. Upon determination of completeness, a notice is sent to surrounding properties within 200 feet of the property submitting application which allows for a 14 day comment period. After the comment period and not more than 45 days from the application being deemed complete, the Planning Division Staff shall make a final decision on the application. A notice of decision is mailed to the same properties within 5 days of decision. An appeal to the Planning Commission of the Planning Division Staffs decision must be made in writing to the Ashland Planning Division within 12 days from the date of the mailing of final decision. (AMC 18.5.1.050.G) The ordinance criteria applicable to this application are attached to this notice. Oregon law states that failure to raise an objection concerning this application, by letter, or failure to provide sufficient specificity to afford the decision maker an opportunity to respond to the issue, precludes your right of appeal to the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) on that issue. Failure to specify which ordinance criterion the objection is based on also precludes your right of appeal to LUBA on that criterion. Failure of the applicant to raise constitutional or other issues relating to proposed conditions of approval with sufficient specificity to allow this Department to respond to the issue precludes an action for damages in circuit court. A copy of the application, all documents and evidence relied upon by the applicant and applicable criteria are available for inspection at no cost and will be provided at reasonable cost, if requested. All materials are available at the Ashland Planning Division, Community Development & Engineering Services Building, 51 Winburn Way, Ashland, Oregon 97520.

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. 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. i 1 G:\cotnm-dev\l)lanning\Planning Actions\Noticing PolderWailed Notices & Signs\2017TA-2017-00499 1680 Greenmeadows.docx I ~ ° I ~ 11i 11~ ~~I ~~~f,l 9lllJ'~~Ilw 31J ~M 5!]'Y 04 ~ilik a, U4 J 'klilp.i 1 'p 1~11~k e fill" 1,51 312 _ F D. 55 ZO ~30 ya,61 ; l.. ff 201 314 - - ~e ' 524)' I 1300 5.6 ~ P fY 1 II pry, 3~~ 32~ :~~~i ``••I ~ ;5~ei•, ell 613 5751 72 550 1 cz .15A IP a, 547 5-4 6 ice" 1 • ~ a' • ~ ,fir ~ i ~ ~I5A a14-14:14o 1 , 1 1 1 } 2G4 17 1762 1 13~~1 MTS _0 )j 1 1402 pp~y+i ®5p7f'tY d° - 1 X11} t$~ 1 700 e i i PA-2017-00499/1680 Greenmeadows PA-2017-00499/1680 Greenmeadows PA-2017-00499/1680 Greenmeadows 391 E23 1702 391 E23BB 539 391 E23BB 552 CORMIA NEIL J/PATRICIA H CROPPER DEAN EDWARD TRUSTEE ET GORDON STANLEY M/MICHELLE M 52 OAK VALLEY DR 1820 GREENMEADOWS WAY 2303 LUPINE DR NOVATO, CA 94947 ASHLAND, OR 97520 ASHLAND, OR 97520 PA-2017-00499/1680 Greenmeadows PA-2017-00499/1680 Greenmeadows PA-2017-00499/1680 Greenmeadows 391 E23BB 540 391 E23BB 551 391 E23BB 522 HARTEIS GRETCHEN A ET AL HOGAN LOANNE MARIE KARLIN MARTIN TRUSTEE 1880 GREENMEADOWS WAY 1725 GREENMEADOWS WAY 1580 GREENMEADOWS WAY ASHLAND, OR 97520 ASHLAND, OR 97520 ASHLAND, OR 97520 PA-2017-00499/1680 Greenmeadows PA-2017-00499/1680 Greenmeadows PA-2017-00499/1680 Greenmeadows 391 E23BB 521 391 E23BB 550 391 E23BB 582 LAMBERT STEVEN M/TIFFANIE L LINDOW JAMES T/DIANNE K MCCRACKEN TOM TRUSTEE ET AL 1575 GREENMEADOWS WAY 2370 LUPINE 2260 LUPINE DR ASHLAND, OR 97520 ASHLAND, OR 97520 ASHLAND, OR 97520 PA-2017-00499/1680 Greenmeadows PA-2017-00499/1680 Greenmeadows PA-2017-00499/1680 Greenmeadows 391 E23BB 536 391 E23BB 563 391 E23BB 538 MONNING BERNIECE M TRUSTEE ET AL PETROU-SMITH BIANCA/STEPHEN SOTOS PAUL G TRUSTEE ET AL 1680 GREENMEADOWS WAY 2305 LUPINE DR 1730 GREENMEADOWS WAY ASHLAND, OR 97520 ASHLAND, OR 97520 ASHLAND, OR 97520 PA-2017-00499/1680 Greenmeadows PA-2017-00499/1680 Greenmeadows PA-2017-00499/1680 Greenmeadows 391E23 1401 391 E23BB 533 391 E23BB 549 STADTMUELLER MARTIN TRUSTEE TODD KENNETH PAUL JR TRUSTEE TYLER FAY L TRUSTEE FBO ET AL' 435 W NEVADA ST 1630 GREENMEADOWS WAY 1925 GREEN MEADOWS WAY ASHLAND, OR 97520 ASHLAND, OR 97520 ASHLAND, OR 97520 PA-2017-00499/1680 Greenmeadows PA-2017-00499/1680 Greenmeadows 391 E23 BB 576 DOUGLAS KAY 1680 Greenmeadows WILBUR LEMERT Q JR TRUSTEE ET AL 2350 RANCH RD NOC 3/29/17 2310 LUPINE DR ASHLAND, OR 97520 ASHLAND, OR 97520 AFFIDAVIT OF MAILING f STATE OF OREGON ) County of Jackson ) The undersigned being first duly sworn states that: 1.

Doug Kay, of Mountain Ranch H.O.A. contacted me in regards to two trees located in the common areas of the H.O.A. greenways. The first is a 24" Scots Pine located on the greenway @1680 Greenmeadows Way. This tree was topped about 10 years ago. The topping has caused the remaining limbs to elongate unnaturally. These limbs act as a "catch basin" for heavy wet winter snowloads. I have climbed this tree to remove broken limbs 3 separate times in the last 4 years. No reasonable remedial pruning will prevent this tree from shedding large branches due to excessive weight from future snow loading. Due to this condition, I feel this tree should be removed and replaced with a specimen more suited to the close proximity to the walking path/common area. The second tree I examined is a 8" diameter Ponderosa Pine located on the greenway @ 1290 Greenmeadows Way. This tree, while not a hazard, is negatively impacting the Tilia due east of it. The Tilia would benefit from the removal of this pine, and it is the wishes of the H.O.A. to retain and preserve the Tilia to the best possible outcome. 1 would not recommend a replacement tree at this location, due to the limited planting area. Both of the above recommended pines are marked with fluorescent green paint at the base of the north side. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns regarding this matter.
