owner's unit in the main house.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Low Density Multi-family Residential; ZONING: R-2;
ASSESSOR'S MAP: 391E09AB; TAX LOT: 2600.
SUBMITTAL DATE: February 29, 2017
DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: March 29, 2017

FINAL DECISION DATE: May 10, 2017 (at 4:30 p.m.)
APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: November 10, 2018

DECISION
The proposal is to operate a two-unit travelers' accommodation consisting of one guest unit in the detached
studio cottage and the owner's unit in the main house. The subject property is located in the Low Density
Multi-family Residential zone (R-2) and Railroad Addition Historic District.
The subject property is located on the east side of Sixth St. between A and B streets. The surrounding
neighborhood is comprised of a mix of single-family homes, multi-family units and a variety of
commercial uses facing A St. The surrounding area is also R-2 zoning.
The subject property is located at 256 Sixth St. and is 10,650 square feet in size. The property is occupied
by a historic home, a detached cottage and a carriage house. The primary home was constructed in 1905
and is identified as a historic contributing resource. The property received Site Design Review approval
in 1991 to convert an outbuilding into a second dwelling unit. The base density of the subject property is
three multi-family dwelling units.
The Municipal Code contains specific requirements for travelers' accommodations. The requirements
include:
• The site of the travelers' accommodation must be the primary residence of the owner/operator of
the travelers' accommodation.
• The accommodation unit must meet all applicable building, fire and related safety codes at all times.
Before operation of the travelers' accommodation, the structure must be inspected by the Fire
Department and Jackson County Health Department.
• The property owner must maintain a City of Ashland business license and pay all transient
occupancy tax in accordance with AMC 4.24 and AMC 6.04.
• Advertising for an accommodation must include the City planning action number assigned to the
land use approval.

Page 1
® The property must be located with 200 feet of a street that is classified as a boulevard, avenue or
neighborhood collector.
® The primary residence must be at least 20 years old.
® Accommodation units must have 400 square feet of gross interior floor space per accommodation
unit excluding the business-owner's unit.
® The property must have two off-street parking spaces for the owners and one-off street parking
space for each accommodation unit.
® One ground or wall sign up to six square feet in size is permitted. The sign cannot be constructed
of plastic or interior illuminated.
The applicants have submitted materials to the Planning Department that demonstrate compliance with
these approval standards, and with the criteria for a Conditional Use Permit.
The property is within 200 feet of B Street which is classified as a boulevard. According to the inventory
for the Railroad Addition Historic District, the primary residence is over 100 years old. The cottage that
will be used as the accommodation unit is 520 square feet in size which exceeds the requirement of at
least 400 square feet of gross interior floor space per accommodation unit. There are no exterior changes
proposed to any of the structures or the site.
The current proposal requires three off-street parking spaces with two spaces required for the primary
residence and one space required for the accommodation unit located in the cottage. The site plan
submitted with the application shows two angled parking spaces accessed by the alley at the rear of the
property. The application requests to reduce the required off-street parking spaces by one space by using
a credit for on-street parking adjacent to the front of the property on Sixth St. The property has 55 feet of
frontage available for on-street parking which provides two parking credits. The surface of the existing
parking area does not appear to meet the current standards and a condition is added requiring the
installation of parking in accordance with AMC 18.4.3.080.E.
Lastly, the application complies with all of the applicable provisions of the R-2 zoning district and the
Site Development and Design Standards in AMC 18.4. The property is currently served by adequate City
facilities for water, sewer, storm drainage, electricity, sidewalks and streets. No trees are proposed to be
removed. There are several mature trees in the planting strip between the sidewalk and curb on the
property's Sixth St. frontage that meet the requirement for a street tree for every 30 feet of property
frontage. In addition, the property has mature landscaping throughout the site meeting the standards in
AMC 18.4.4. The proposed travelers' accommodation will not have a greater adverse impact material
effect on the impact area compared to the target use of three dwelling units in terms of architectural
compatibility, air quality, generation of traffic, noise, light and glare and the development of adjacent
properties.
A neighboring property owner submitted a written comment with several concerns including the number
of occupants allowed in the cottage, inspections required for travelers' accommodations, contacts for
problems with people renting the cottage, traffic impacts, lighting on the exterior of the cottage, past
problems with storm drainage issues, change of character of the neighborhood, shortage of affordable
housing, allowing use of on-street parking and improvement of the parking area.
Any outdoor lighting is required to be installed so there is no direct illumination onto adjacent residential
properties whether the cottage is used as a second dwelling unit for long-term rental or as a travelers'
accommodation unit. A condition is added addressing the parking area and any outdoor lighting that may
PA-2017-00475

j
be installed in the future. Inspections are required by the Ashland Fire Department and Jackson County
Health Department as part of the Conditional Use Permit approval of a travelers' accommodation.
In terms of generation of noise, light, glare, dust, odor and traffic impacts, the Conditional Use Permit
approval criteria require the proposed traveler's accommodation unit to be compared to the target use of
the property. The target use of the property is three residential dwellings. According to the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE), three residential dwelling units would generate between 24 to 30 vehicle
trips per day and a two-unit traveler's accommodation unit would generate 19 vehicle trips per day. In
terms of noise, light, glare, dust and odor, it is difficult to say that the proposed travelers' accommodation
will have more of an impact on the neighborhood than three residential dwelling units. In staff's opinion,
the proposed travelers' accommodation will not have a greater adverse material effect on the livability of
the impact area compared with the target use of three dwelling units.
The approval criteria for a Travelers' Accommodation are in AMC 18.2.3.220 as follows:
Where travelers' accommodations and accessory travelers' accommodations are allowed, they require
a Conditional Permit under chapter 18.5.4, are subject to Site Design Review under chapter 18.5.2, and
shall meet the following requirements. See definitions of travelers' accommodation and accessory
travelers' accommodation in part 18-6.
A. Travelers' Accommodations and Accessory Travelers' Accommodations. Travelers'
accommodations and accessory travelers' accommodations shall meet all of the following

in excess of the maximum established by this ordinance. The maximum number of
accommodation units shall not exceed nine per approved traveler's accommodation with
primary lot frontage on boulevard streets. For travelers' accommodation without primary
lot frontage on a designated boulevard, but within 200 feet of a boulevard, avenue, or
neighborhood collector street, the maximum number of units shall be seven. Street
designations shall be as determined by the Street Dedication Map in the Comprehensive
Plan. Distances to the property from a boulevard, avenue, or neighborhood collector shall
be measured via a public street or public alley to a lot line.

2. The property is limited to having one accessory travelers' accommodation unit, covered under
a single reservation and consisting of two or fewer bedrooms. Meals are not provided and
kitchen cooking facilities are not permitted with an accessory travelers' accommodation, with
the exception of kitchen cooking facilities for the primary residence.
3. The total number of guests occupying an accessory travelers' accommodation must not exceed
two people per bedroom.
4. The property must have two off-street parking spaces. The total number of guest vehicles

Dear City Planners,
I would like to voice my concerns and questions in Y~~ a hope f`hrvf' they can
be addressed in this early process of deciding the Conditional Use Permit/site
review for planning action PA 2017®00475.
The owner/applicants, Kevin Preister and Susan Jesse, are requesting a
Conditional Use Permit and Site Design Review in order to operate a business
for Traveler Accommodations at 256 6t" Street.
I own the house and property next door at 266 6t" Street.
The house on my property is a long term rental. I believe a traveler
accommodation will change the character of the neighborhood and will impact
the daily life of my renter.
My concerns and questions are:
1. Two units are listed in the permit. After talking to Marie of the
planning department I understand the primary residence is counted as
one unit and only the cottage will be rented. How many occupants will
be allowed to rent the cottage?
2. Spaces for parking are required for the granting of the permit. Will
the parking area be improved that already exists? If there is overflow
parking will it be allowed on the street?
3. The parking spaces are at the back of the property. I anticipate more
traffic in a very walkable neighborhood since the travelers will most
likely arrive and perhaps depend on their cars for transportation.
4. The neighbors to the east of my property put in a light that
illuminates with industrial quality. It lights the alley, but this light is
also a glaring presence that is not attractive in the windows or
backyard of my property. Will the Traveler Accommodations add
lighting? Are there regulations when lighting is installed outside or
approval processes?
5. This main house closely borders my property. No changes are listed and
I understand this is not a rental unit. My property has experienced
the overflow of water in the front yard in the back yard. Sometimes
this overflow is from heavy rain, but I am concerned that the sewage
system may not be adequate. What kind of inspection is required for
the business permit to be granted?
6. Since the Traveler Accommodation must be the primary residence of the
owner/operator we want to continue as good neighbors, but what if
there is a problem when the owners are not at home? Who do we call
if there is added noise beyond reason or another problem? If we can
not reach the owner do we call the police? Usually, neighbors want to
work things out but with a transient population will the travelers have
the same interest in a quiet neighborhood that we do?
7. I believe that our town needs long terns rentals and that we support
the idea of community by zoning to encourage density in neighborhoods
that can house a diverse stable population. Is the granting of this
permit also the granting of a change to the character of the
neighborhood? How are we as a city addressing the shortage of
affordable housing?
I appreciate the planning process. Granting this application will change
this quiet Railroad district neighborhood. My renter works at a day job as a
teacher in our public schools. The travelers on holiday will by all rights be
here for theater and fun which, naturally, could be into the night.
Please consider the larger implications of this change, and please consider
requiring the applicants to have updated city review and approval in the
changes they make.
Sincerely, Christine Abbott Stokes

maximum established by this ordinance. The maximum number of accommodation units shall not exceed nine per approved traveler's
accommodation with primary lot frontage on boulevard streets. For travelers' accommodation without primary lot frontage on a designated
boulevard, but within 200 feet of a boulevard, avenue, or neighborhood collector street, the maximum number of units shall be seven. Street

FINDINGS
Conditional Use Permit Application for a
One-unit Traveler's Accommodation
256 1/2 Sixth Street
Ashland, Oregon
Date: March 17, 2017
Owners and Applicants: Kevin Preister, Susan Jessie
Project Information
Planning Action
The applicants, Kevin Preister and Susan Jessie, are submitting an application for a Conditional Use permit for a
Traveler's Accommodation at 256 1/2 Sixth Street, Ashland, Oregon. This unit has been a rental unit for many years.
No external modification will be made to the residence. The building at 256 1/2 Sixth was built as a barn when the
property was developed in the early 1900s and was upgraded to a cottage sometime in the 1990s. It is the cottage on
the property we own at 256 Sixth Street and we live in the main unit.
The unit has a lower floor of 320 SF, devoted to a living space with a sofa bed, a kitchen area, a bathroom and a
sauna. The upper level has 200 SF of living space which serves as a bedroom. At this tune, we are proposing that
the unit be used as a Traveler's Accommodation Unit.

Figure Two, attached at the end, shows the natural drainage swale, with footbridge over it, on the south side of the
main house. This swale captures water runoff from the slope and channels it into the sump pit (shown) from which
a sump pump pushes it to the street.
18.5.4.050
Approval Criteria
A. Approval Criteria. A Conditional Use 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.
1. That the use would be in conformance with all standards within the zoning district in which the use
is proposed to be located, and in conformance with relevant Comprehensive plan policies that are not
implemented by any City, State, or Federal law or program.
Answer: The main house on this site is a two-bedroom family home where the owners reside. The proposed
traveler's accommodation is the studio cottage to the rear of the property which has been a rental unit for years. No
changes to the exterior facade of either unit are proposed. The only change that this application creates is a shift
from long-term rental to short-term rental. The location, within walking distance to downtown, is close to the
Oregon Shakespeare Festival theatres and Ashland restaurants, making it an attractive amenity for visitors to out
community. In addition, we have a lovely garden between the main house and the traveler's unit which will be
available of visitors' use, adding to the amenities of the site.

Landscaping Requirements: In this zone 35% of the site must be retained in landscaping. The
landscaping on the subject site is existing, and mature with existing trees.
Answer: Approximately 78% of the site is dedicated to landscaping and outdoor use. No decrease of the percent of
the landscaped area is intended. (The square footage of all buildings added to 2,326 SF of coverage on a .24 acre site
(10,454 SF = 22%.) The photos below show the garden which is expected to be a valued amenity for our guests.

The Existing Landscaping. The attached site plans (Figure Two, back of house, and Figure Three, front of
house, are attached at end) show the location of existing, established trees on the site which conform to city
standards, as well as the three additional trees we have added in the last several years, a red maple and blue spruce in
the front yard, and a red oak in the back yard.
Trees: The existing trees, which are shown on the Site Plan, are all to remain.
Parking, Access in Internal Circulation: There is parking along the back alley, next to the proposed Traveler's
unit, that has sufficient room for two off-street parking units. There is no internal automobile circulation on this
site. We would like the City to grant us a third parking spot on the street.
Setbacks: There are no changes to the existing setbacks.
Height: There is no change proposed to existing building heights.
Lot coverage: The lot coverage is less than 30%] developed. This area will remain unchanged.
Answer: No substantive changes with the above standards are contemplated.
2. That adequate capacity of City facilities for water, sewer, electricity, urban storm drainage, paved
access to and throughout the development, and adequate transportation can and will be provided to
the subject property.
Answer: The studio cottage has housed up to two tenants over the years. The size of the space has not changed.
Thus the need for utilities due to the proposed CUP is not increased.
3. That the conditional use will have no greater adverse material effect on the livability of the impact
area when compared to the development of the subject lot with the target use of the zone, pursuant
with subsection 18.5.4.050.A.5, below. When evaluating the effect of the proposed use on the impact
area, the following factors of livability of the impact area shall be considered in relation to the target
use of the zone.
a. Similarity in scale, bulk, and coverage.
The proposed CUP does not change the current scale or coverage of the lot.
b. Generation of traffic and effects on surrounding streets. Increases in pedestrian, bicycle,
and mass transit use are considered beneficial regardless of capacity of facilities. 18.5.4 -
Conditional Use Permits
The marketing of the unit will emphasize a "no car" experience. Within an easy walla of downtown, the pedestrian
orientation of the railroad district will be seen by visitors as an amenity to be appreciated.
c. Architectural compatibility with the impact area.
The proposed CUP does not change any of the architectural features of the existing historical bL}ildlno-. ,

d. Air quality, including the generation of dust, odors, or other environmental pollutants.
The traveler's accommodation will emphasize a "no car" experience, so it is unlikely that the CUP will generate
additional negative air quality.
e. Generation of noise, light, and glare.
These factors will not be affected by the proposed CUP.
f. The development of adjacent properties as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan.
Development of adjacent properties should not be affected by this CUP application.
g. Other factors found to be relevant by the approval authority for review of the proposed use.
The unit at 256 '/z Sixth Street meets all the requirements and will support Ashland's image as a friendly, charming
tourist destination without putting additional strain on infrastructure or inconvenience the neighborhood.
4. A conditional use permit shall not allow a use that is prohibited or one that is not permitted
pursuant to this ordinance.
The proposed traveler's accommodation is a permitted use.
5. For the purposes of reviewing conditional use permit applications for conformity with the approval
criteria of this subsection, the target uses of each zone are as follows.
c. R-2 and R-3. Residential use complying with all ordinance requirements, developed at the
density permitted by chapter 18.2.5 Standards for Residential Zones.
We believe the proposed traveler's accommodation complies with all standards for the R-2 residential zone.
18.5.2.040 Application Submission Requirements

March, 2017
The following requirements we believe are not applicable to the proposed CUP application:
Proposed Site Plan with the studio proposed as Traveler's Accommodation Unit shown with boundaries and gross
area are included in the Site Analysis Plan (Figure Two) with no further modifications proposed.
1. Architectural drawings: no new buildings are proposed.
2. Grading and Drainage Plan
3. Erosion Control Plan
Narrative for 18.5.2.040:
Because our CUP application calls for no new buildings, architectural modifications, or landscaping changes, few of
these provisions seem to apply. We do provide a Site Analysis Map (Figure Two at the end) with site features
shown, including trees, other landscaping and current irrigation. Out lot of .24 acres contains 10,454 SF of which
2326 SF is the existing main house, the studio cottage, the shed and the playhouse, meaning that 22% of the lot is
covered by impervious structures. That leaves 8128 SF of open space and landscaping as described. The maps also
show the provision of two parking spaces at the rear of the property serviced by an alley.
18.5.2.050 Approval Criteria
It is believed that all Approval Criteria have been met in this proposal, including underlying zone, overlay zones, site
development and design standards, city facilities, and exceptions, of which there are none.

ASHLAND PLANNING DEPARTMENT SITE: 256 Sixth Street
PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE APPLICANT: Kevin Preister & Susan Jessie
COMMENT SHEET REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit & Site
February 15, 2017 Design Review for Traveler's Accommodation
PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS:
This pre-application conference is intended to highlight significant issues of concern to staff and bring
them to the applicant's attention prior to their preparing a formal application submittal.
Traveler's Accommodations: Within the R-2 zoning district, Traveler's Accommodations are a e
Conditional Use subject to Special Use Standards which include:
• The property on which the traveler's accommodation is sited must be the primary residence of
the business-owner. Evidence will need to be provided prior to operation of the Traveler's
Accommodation.
• The property is located within 200 feet of a boulevard, avenue, or neighborhood collector as
identified on the Street Dedication Map in the Comprehensive Plan.
• The primary residence on the site must be at least 20 years old.
• The number of traveler's accommodation units allowed shall be determined by dividing the
total square footage of the lot by 1,800 square feet.
• Excluding the business-owner's unit and the area of the structure it will occupy, there must be
at least 400 square feet of gross interior floor space remaining per unit. Floor plans verifying
compliance with this requirement will need to be included in the application materials.
• Each accommodation must have one off-street parking space and the business-owners unit
must have two off-street parking spaces. All parking spaces shall be in conformance with
chapter 18.4.3.
Additionally, the property owner must maintain a City of Ashland business license and pay all transient
occupancy tax in accordance with AMC 4.24 and AMC 6.04. Advertising for an accommodation must
include the City planning action number assigned to the land use approval. Before operation of the
Traveler's Accommodation, the structure must be inspected by the Fire Department and Jackson County
Health Department.
Conditional Use Permits: Generally speaking, Conditional Use Permits provide a discretionary review
which allows the Staff Advisor or Planning Commission to weigh the adverse impacts of a proposal on
the neighborhood against the typical adverse impacts that could be expected with residential development.
k
256 Sixth Street F
February 15, 2017
Page 1
The application materials should try to clarify the anticipated adverse impacts in comparison to residential
use (i.e. how many car trips will the use generate each day, how much parking will be needed, how many
guests are typically expected in a month, what noise level and hours of noise can be reasonably expected,
etc.)
Parking: As noted above, each accommodation must have one off-street parking space and the business-
owners unit must have two off-street parking spaces. All parking spaces must be in conformance with the
requirements in AMC 18.4.3. Conditional Use Permits which rely on on-street parking credits may be
challenged based on their shifting an adverse impact of the proposal to the broader neighborhood. On-
street parking credits are a discretionary approval and are no longer granted outright.
Bicycle Parking: The application will need to identify bicycle parking as part of the proposal.
Signage: Traveler's Accommodations are allowed only one ground or wall sign, constructed of a non-
plastic material, non-interior illuminated, and with a maximum of six (6) square feet total surface area.
Any exterior illumination of signage shall be installed such that it does not directly illuminate any
residential structures adjacent or nearby the traveler's accommodation in accordance with AMC
18.4.4.050.C.1. All advertising for traveler's accommodation must include the City of Ashland planning
action number assigned to the land use approval. All proposed Signage shall be detailed in the final j
application submittal, and a separate sign permit application is required prior to installation. !
F
Site Design & Use Standards: Travelers Accommodations are also subject to Site Design Review. The
application will need to respond to the building placement, orientation and design standards for residential
development detailed in chapter 18.4.2.030 of the Ashland Municipal Code (AMC). These standards
apply to a wide variety of circumstances from a conversion of existing living space to a new unit entirely
within an existing building, external modifications to a historic building, to the development of a new
multifamily building. The application will need to clarify the proposal in context as it relates to the
applicable standards, and will need to include a scalable site plan and detailed elevation drawings of the
proposed building to support a demonstration of compliance with the applicable standards.
• Elevations: Scalable exterior elevations of all buildings proposed on the site are required to
be submitted. Indicate the material, color, texture, shape and other design features, including
mechanical devices. Elevations should be drawn to a scale of one-inch equals ten feet or
greater. (If no exterior changes are involved and elevation drawings are not available, photos
would suffice.)
• Building Orientation to the Street / Limitation on Parking between Building and Street:
Standards generally seek a strong orientation of buildings to the street and a limitation on
parking between the building and the street. The written findings will need to address the
Historic nature of the structure in the context of its compatibility with the historic district.
• Landscape & Irrigation Plan: An area that typically needs to be addressed for Travelers
Accommodations is bringing any deferred landscape maintenance up to current standards,
particularly in front yard areas. These applications are seeking to be allowed a limited and
conditional commercial use in a residential neighborhood, and this brings with it the
requirement to provide a higher level of landscaping and maintenance. A comprehensive
landscape and irrigation plan is required for the entire parcel. The landscaping and irrigation
plan shall comply with the standards from the Site Design and Use Standards.
256 Sixth Street
February 15, 2017

C,
i
o Landscape and Irrigation Plan: A species and size specific landscape plan must be
submitted with the application. Existing and proposed landscaping must meet the
Landscaping section of chapter 18.4.4. An irrigation plan is required, but may be
deferred until the building permit submittals.
o Landscaping and Open Space: The City's Site Design and Use standards set specific
parameters for landscaping and open space allocation for residential developments,
such as identifying an area at least eight (8) percent of the lot are dedicated to open
space for the tenants, and street tree requirements to name a few. Existing front yard
landscaping typically needs to be upgraded to some degree in order to meet the
residential development landscaping standards, which do not apply to stand-alone
single-family residences. Please demonstrate compliance with these standards on the
site plan as well as providing an explanation of compliance in the written findings.
o Landscape buffers: A five (5') foot landscape buffer between any surface/off-street
parking spaces and the property lines and an eight (8') foot setback from the structure
is required as per the Parking Lot Landscaping and Screening Standards.
o Street Trees: Street trees must be provided at a spacing of one tree per 30 feet of street
frontage, selected and planted according to the Recommended Street Tree Guide with
irrigation provided. The formal application shall show the location, size and species
of all existing trees which satisfy this requirement.
® Exterior Lighting: All exterior lighting should be selected, placed, directed and/or shrouded
to prevent light spill-over (i.e. direct illumination) onto neighboring properties. Please provide
the lighting specifications on the final application submittals.
® Trash / Recycling: An "opportunity to recycle" facility will be required to be provided either
as a shared facility screened from the public right of way (recomniended) or as separate
facilities. You should consult with Recology about how the trash/recycling can best be
accommodated on site (dumpster or cans). j
® Additional Elements: Elements such as exterior lighting, designated location for a screened
trash and recycling center, and bike parking would also need to be shown on the site plan and
a written description of how they will be integrated into the proposal provided.
Neighborhood Outreach: Projects involving changes to established neighborhood patterns can be a
concern for neighbors, and previous Traveler's Accommodations in the vicinity have been challenged by
neighbors based on the impacts of transient occupancy on residential neighborhood character. Staff
always recommends that applicants approach the affected neighbors, make them aware of the proposal,
and try to address any concerns as early in the process as possible. Notices are typically sent to neighbors
within a 200-foot radius of the property.
Written Findings/Burden of Proof: This pre-application conference is intended to highlight significant
issues of concern to staff and bring them to the applicant's attention prior to their preparing a formal
application submittal. Applicants should be aware that written findings addressing the ordinance and
applicable criteria are required, and are heavily depended on when granting approval for a planning action.
In addition, the required plans are explained in writing below. The burden of proof is on the applicant(s)
to ensure that all applicable criteria are addressed in writing and that all required plans, written findings,
and other materials are submitted even if those items were not discussed in specific, itemized detail during
this initial pre-application conference.

Fire department comments are based upon the 2014 Oregon Fire Code as adopted by the Ashland
Municipal Code:
Addressing - Building numbers or addresses must be at least 4 inches tall, be of a color that is in
contrast to its background, and shall be plainly visible and legible from the street fronting the
property. Additional directional signage may be necessary to guide emergency responders down
a driveway, path or through a gate. All premises identification, street signs and building numbers,
must be in place with temporary signs when construction begins and permanent signage prior to

Vacation Rentals & Traveler's Accommodations
The following are the requirements for vacation rentals:
• Smoke alarm in each sleeping room, in the hall leading to the sleeping room and one on
each level.
• If you have a carbon monoxide source, then a CO alarm is required to be within five feet
of each bedroom. Carbon monoxide sources include fuel fired appliances such as gas, wood
or oil, and a door that leads to the garage.
• Each sleeping room is required to have an available emergency escape through a window,
so the window is required to be openable and remain open while someone would crawl out.
If there is a door that leads to the outside, that can be considered the emergency escape in
lieu of the window.
• A fire extinguisher should be located on each level - minimum IAl OBC size. It is required
to be mounted in a visible location and serviced annually. If you have just purchased new
ones, either use the tag from the box to write the installation date on or use a permanent
marker and write the month and date of installation on the fire extinguisher.
• Make an emergency plan. It should include text with the address of the home, call 9-1-1
for emergencies and the safety features in the home and a diagram for evacuation. This
should be made available in the home where guests would see it. Here is an example of an
emergency plan www.ashland.or.us/vacationrentals.
• Call for an inspection from the fire department after gaining planning approval.

The bottom floor contains a living room/ldtchenette, bathroom and sauna, and stairs connect to a
loft bedroom. We plan to have a two person sofa bed on the lower floor and have the upstairs
available for visitors if needed.
The cottage is bordered on two sides by alleys on the right side and the back. The back alley
provides access to two parking spaces to the left of the cottage.
