The trees, both weeping willows, have a history of limb failure and recently caused damage to an adj acent property. The applicant submitted photos and ari arborist report recommending removal and replacement of the trees.

September 11, 2018 FINAL DECISION DATE: September 12, 2018 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE March 12, 2020 DECISION Planning Action #TREE-201-8=00014 requests a Hazard Tree Removal Permit to remove- two willow trees from the Mountain Ranch common space at 1730 Greenmeadows Way. The lot is 2.66-acres in size and is zoned R-1--7.5. The lot where the trees are located serves as open space for the Mountain Ranch subdivision. The open space -features a large green and trees around the edges. It also- has-pedestrian connections to-the surrounding street network. The trees requested for removal are located on the eastern edge of the space, near the residence addressed as 2345 Lupine Drive. The willows (Salix babylonica) are both listed in an arborist statement as approximately 45' tall and 36" diameter at breast height (DBH). The trees are requested for removal by the Mountain I Ranch Property Owners Association because of the potential hazards the tree represent to property I and residents. The applicant submitted evidence of limb failure in June of 2018. A failed limb partially destroyed a fence and came close to an existing home.Jn addition, the applicant submitted evidence of large ?imbs fd ling in 2014 and 2012 as well. Two reports were submitted with the project. The first report was provided by a tree care professional who has _pruned the willows multiple times in the past and dealt with the previous limb-failures. The-report recommended removal of the trees for numerous-reasons, including the short life span of Salix babylonico the shedding of large limbs in the-past, and evidence of internal decay. The applicant and the tree care professional both state that the area around the tree is common open area and that it is accessible by an-yone,-raising the risks associated with limb failure. The report says that proper pruning can reduce the risk of limb failure, but that there is a diminishing return as the tree size increases. Given these factors, the report recommends removal. PA-TREE-2018-00014 1730 Greenmeadows Wy/nre Page 1 I v f A second report was a second opinion from a separate tree care professional. This report stated that the trees has been well cared for and professionally pruned regularly. It- ,was noted that deadwood had been trimmed and weight removed to alleviate limb failure. Despite this, the-report notes that willows have weak wood and are prone to breakage. The report noted that the trees will be a liability and recommended either living with that liability or replacing with a more suitable tree in the same location. The Ashland Tree Commission -reviewed this request at their meeting on July 12, 2018. After discussion with the applicants and the neighboring homeowners, the tree commission recommended an initial denial and that the applicants return with a second opinion. The applicant extended the action and returned to the Tree Commission-on August 9t" with a report from a second tree care professional. While reviewing the application for the second time the Commission discussed possible alternative measures such as removing-all limbs and turning the trees into habitat trees. Ultimately the Commission agreed with the assessment of risk. The Tree Commission re~rxommend-ed approving the request for removal unanimoust_y The Commission recommended that the trees-be mitigated on a one to one basis with species that will-be appropriate for the area-and-reach a similar size at naturity.- The Commission also recommended but did not require that the applicants consider turning the willows into habitat trees. They also asked that removal is done after nesting-season for migratory birds. The City received eight comments on the proposal. A majority of the comments opposed removal. The comments regarded the health of the trees, the potential loss of habitat, and wanted to ensure that birds nesting in the trees were-not harmed. As noted,-the applicants did seek two opinions from tree care professionals to ascertain the health -of the trees. The City of Ashland has no ordinance regarding the timing of tree removal. The City does require that blackberries not be removedln riparian areas between May and July, but that does not apply in this case. Following the second hearing at the tree cormnission the applicant contacted a biologist at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to discuss nesting birds. The biologist indicated that removing the trees between now and January should alleviate concerns to nesting birds. The applicant should still- take care to check for nesting birds and ensure they are complying withThe federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The applicant will also be required_to replace each tree within- one year of removal with a species of similar -size by maturity. In order for the City to approve a tree_removd , the applicant must demonstrate that the tree "presents a clear public safety hazard" or "a foreseeable-danger of property damage." It hasdiready been demonstrated that the trees are capable-of property damage withpast limb fall. The submitted reports on the tree status also shov:L a reasonable expectation of future limb failure. Staff finds the application has sufficiently demonstrated compliance with all applicable approval PA-TREE-2018-00014 1730 Greenmeadows Wy/nre Page 2 criteria. The criteria for 'T'ree Removal PermitapproN41 are described in AMC section 18.5.7.040.13- as follows: 1. Hazard Twee. A Hazard Tree Removal Per°rnit shall be granted if the approval authority finds that the application meets all of the folloii,ing 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 o fall and injure persons or property) or a foreseeable danger of property damage to an existing structure or facilit}~ 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 rrritigation requirements shall be a condition-of approval of the permit. The appli cation with the attached conditions complies with all- applicable City ordinances for a Hazard Tree Removal Permit: Planning Action 9'1~REE=2018-00014 is therefore approved. The following are the conditions and they are attached to the approval. If any of the following conditions are found not to be true, then Planning Action #TREE-2018-000014 is denied:- 1) That all proposals of the applicant shall be conditions of approval unless otherwise modified herein. 2) That a tree mitigation rn- lan-shall be submitted to a Staff Advisor for approval prior to the replacement of the trees to ensure the new trees shall-be of similar size at maturity to the removed willows-. 3) That two (2) mitigation trees shall be planted on site within twelve months of removal of the willow trees. 4) That the mitigation-Nees shall be planted at a minimum of a 11/2-inch caliper consistent with the requirements of AMC 18.5.7.050. 3 b L' I s' L-Bill nar, irector Date cad of Comm unity Development PA-TREE-2018-00014 1730 Greenmeadows Wy/nre Page 3 AFFIDAVIT OF MAILING i 4 STATE OF OREGON ) County of Jackson ) The undersigned being first duly sworn states that: 1. 1 am employed by the City of Ashland, 20 East Main Street, Ashland, Oregon 97520, in the Community Development Department. 2.

Paul and I are out of-town and unable to attend tonight's meeting. I understand that one additional opinion was obtained supporting the removal of the willows. I believe that the tree commission asked for two opinions. Am I correct? We are fairly resigned to the trees being removed- seems like a loosing battle. However, we do feel obliged to protect the birds nesting in the trees. I can imagine the number of baby birds that will be lost if we take the trees-down prior to the end of the nesting period.

Address: 2345 Lupine Drive Please-corlfirm you received this_commun-ication. Thanks. NOTE FOR COMMISSIONERS: From what I gather the removal-of the trees is inevitable. Doug has lobbied the entire HOA on limb failure fear and definitive lawsuits..... That said I want to make sure he honors-nesting bird policy. I've seen him in deep planning/discussion with Up-per Limit I on removal logistics already--seems early pJ_anning for-November/December event. I'd also like to see if your side can push for replacement tree plan and time frame. (I have communication from 2 1/2 years ago when Willow removal was-still very much on Doug's radar that there was a proactive succession /replanting plan-in place at that time. There has been ZERO-succession planting) Lastly can you confirm that people are not allowed to remove any tree big or small on public property without approval. No accusation but I believe some removal-nay have occurred in the past. I want to-be sure I'm clear on City policy for future conversations. Unfortunately we will-not attend meeting tonight as we are out of town. Thanks very much for what your group-does and your support of natural beauty and the pacing of the 'Californication' of Ashland.

As a member of that Property Owners' Association, I write to add my voice in advocacy of the tree removal. The two trees in question have a history of shedding branches. When they drop at night or in inclement =weather, when no one is present, the only risk is- to property, and the most recently shed branches actually did some property damage. But these properties- are open-access property - anyone walking up Green Meadows Way from Bellview Street can walk up into-this common area, and may potentially be injured by falling branches. This is a significant risk for people who may well not be aware of the danger, and is a liability issue for the POA. We have consulted an-arborist, and now a second one. These trees are nearing the end of their lifespans; this species typically sheds-;ranches when it is old. I think it is reasonable to _protect the people-of the area by removing these trees before they drop branches onto a person--Don't you agree? i Sincerely, Roger K Howe i City of Ashland Planning Division 51 Winburn Way Ashland, OR 97520 Attn: Nathan Emerson Mr. Emerson: I am writing to you with regard to the application by the Mountain Ranch Property Owners Association Board for the removal of two willow trees in the common area of our association's property. I am an owner and resident in the homeowners association. The Board has been concerned about the condition of these particular trees for many months and has pursued a maintenance program with licensed arborists to preserve their condition. In spite of this, the tree experts agree that the expected life of the trees is reaching an end. Recent limb failures have created a situation where the safety of individuals and property in and around the two trees can be dangerous. Although they are a beautiful part of common area, we, the homeowners, have to recognize the danger involved in retaining them and the risks related thereto. The Board has proposed to replace the trees with suitable species that can thrive in the area in question. I hope your commission will approve the application promptly in the interests of the safety of our community. :Th a ou, ow land R. Foster 1230 Greenmeadows Way Ashland, OR 97520 August 6, 2018 1 i City of Ashland Planning Dept. 51 Winburn Way Ashland, OR 97520 c, ATTN: Nathan Emerson RE: PA-Tree-2018-00014 Tree Removal Application, 1730 Green Meadows Way Mr. Emerson; In anticipation n-oi the upcoming extended hearing on this matter, we make the following observations and requests for your consideration. The City has-an exemption in the code 18.1.5.7,_ that allows/requires the City to manage the maintenance-and removal of trees on public property as needed, without review. No such exemption is all-owed for privately held common areas, owned by an-Oregon registered Homeowners Association. This means that while the City can take responsibility for removing potential dangers from the City parks, such liability cannot be resolved by -subdivision Property Owners Assn. Such Assn cannot exerci&e the same discretionary safety measures in similarly situated common area parks provided -under the Mountain Ranch Property Owners Association. This seems to ignore the requirements the MRPOA, for keeping the common areas safe and maintained. CC&R's are required under Oregon statute. Fiscal responsibility, including safety and ~ liability issues, are a matter of=public record. Regarding the prior hearing on this application, July 12, and the recommendatiDn for - denial: The fact that the Lowes, or anyone-else were not physically harmed by the tree limb which fell and damaged their fence, does not predict that future damage is not immanent. Property damage is also a concern. i The property owners within the MRPOA have no assurance under any property title that property within the common areas will remain as is, over time. Where necessary, any conditions as found in the common areas, that reasonably warrant modification or removal, for the-safety or efficient use of the -common areas, must be addressed as part of the CC & R's. The MRPOA is liable for reasonable safety measures to be taken within the MRPOA held common space sections of the subdivision, where own public safety hazards exist. We respectfully resubmit the findings of Beaver Tree Service, whicl-rhas maintained the trees in the subject common space, for your review. Their statement that the Mountain Ranch Property Owners Assn can "either live with the liability of branch or trunk failure or remove the trees..." is not a viable alternative for MRPOA. See attached report, July 27, 2018. Lastly, the assertion by the Lowes regarding cresting birds being a concern, I would point out that the Mountain Ranch subdivision was developed with a dedication of the Ordson Todd Woods to the City of Ashland. Please see landconserve org for an extensive list of nesting birds in this amazing adjunct to the Mountain Ranch Homes. It provides virtually limitless nesting opportunities for birds and squirrels,-and habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, within less than 500 ft from subject-tree location. i Planning Department, 51 Winburn Way, Ashland, Oregon 97520 F 541-488-5305 Fax: 541-552-2050 www,ashland.or,us TTY: 1-800-735-2900 9 NOTICE OF APPLICATION PLANNING ACTION: PA-TREE-2018-00014 SUBJECT PROPERTY: 1730 Greenmeadows Way OWNER/APPLICANT: Mountain RCH Property Owner's Association DESCRIPTION: A request for a hazard tree removal of two trees in the Mountain Ranch common area (addressed as 1730 Greenmeadows Way).

A 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. T 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 18A 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. If I;.

Ashland Client: Mountain Ranch HOA Trees: Two Mature Willows (Salix) The trees are approximately 45 tall and 36" dbh. Evaluation: The Willows are approximately 40 years old and can be considered mature examples of the species. Both trees have been well maintained and professionally pruned for many years. Deadwood has been removed and weight taken off limbs to help prevent limb failure. Willows are a fast growing species and the resulting wood is weak and prone to breakage. Recently, one large limb broke and damaged a fence on private property. Everything-that can be done has been done to make these trees as safe as possible. Recommendations: The options are to either live with the liability of branch or trunk failure or remove the trees and replant a more suitable species for that location, Sincerely, Joseph Brophy Arborist Beaver Tree Service Inc, Beaver Tree Service Inc.

I would like to propose a compromise. The willow to the south side of the pair, if I have my compass correct, has suffered more damage/limb loss and is off balance. The willow to the north ofihre pair has had much less issues, and seems perfectly balanced. It is a gorgeous specimen, habitat for many creatures, and I have considered nominating it as tree of the year. Why not remove the one and let the other stand until it is necessary to remove I have spoken with the adjacent property owner who's fence was damaged by limb fall and know that they are not in favorin removing the one tree-on the north side. I was unable to attend the public hearing,but am happy to learn that a second tree expert opinion is being sought, and that importance was.placed on the nesting birds. Tha-n-k you for considering my comments.

My husband and I live within the immediate neighborhood of the property at 1730 Greenmeadows Way, which is the location of the two weeping willows that are the subject of the removal proposal, although we are not within the Mountain Ranch Property Owner's Association. We were served with the Notice of Application via mail, inviting our comment. I would request that the following be taken under consideration: ➢ These are remarkable, mature trees of considerable beauty-they provide significant shade to an otherwise unprotected open area, they do not appear to be unhealthy and are fully covered in green foliage. Neither tree now bears any branches that are overhanging private property - in the event of any future limb failure, it is difficult to see how damage to private property would be imminent. In our experience, it is rare to see anyone using the common space in the area under or near the two trees, making it unlikely that concern for personal injury is a priority. One of Ashland's greatest attributes is its trees - one of the primary reasons so many of us choose to live here - and our culture is one that strongly embraces environmental sensitivity including protection of trees whenever possible. We fully appreciate that the members of the Mountain Ranch Property Owner's Association are concerned foremost about the safety of their community, but would urge them to ensure that there is true and valid risk versus perceived risk, and that these beautiful trees only be cut down as an absolute last resort.

The two Willows in question are behind our house. We had an arborist inspect the trees two and a half years ago who stated that the trees were healthy. He said that they were about 30 years old, andthat they live to be 50 to 75 years old. We discussed the option of obtaining a core test to gain certainty on their health. The recent fallen branch mentioned in the request for removal was due to birds making a hole a_t_the base of the branch. We have photos depicting this fact. Also, the "property damage" mentioned was a very small section of our-fence. We are greatly concerned that-the moves to remove these trees are premature. We respectfully request the opinions of two additional arborist, and taking a core lest. We would also like to raise the consideration of a considerable pruning-or topping of the trees instead of removing them. Another concern we have is for the many birds nests that are in the trees. If after additional opinions and a core test the trees are determined unsafe, what is done to protect the birds nesting?" Thank you for taking our comments. Please keep us posted.

Such mitigation requirements shall be a condition of approval of the permit. . Tr 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.

As we talked about this morning while we are sad to see the willows in all likelihood getting removed , the HOA BOD has to put the homeowners safety first . We knew eventually this day would come and here it is . We did in 2016 had Plant Oregon come out and assess the location of the existing-willows and make recommendations on suitable tree replacements . Attached are some of the trees that were considered in 2016 . We will again have Plant Oregon come out and reassess and see if their opinion has changed regarding the original choices . Thanks again for all your help.

Doug and I have worked extensively on these trees over the last few years. I have climbed and pruned both of these trees several times over the last 15 years or so. I made a recommendation for a plan to include the future removal and replacement of these trees for the following reasons: 1. At maturity, Salix babilonica trees tend to shed large limbs due to excessive end weight coupled with relatively weak wood compared to other commonly planted broad leaved hardwood trees. 2. All species of Willows are considered "short lived", and as they age, become very poor compartmentalizers of decay within the stem, as well as throughout the large supportive limbs throughout the canopy. 3. The area these trees occupy is a "common area" accessible by anyone, at any time. The target value for failed limbs includes the entire area beneath both of these trees. 4. Both of these trees have, in the past, shown a propensity for shedding large limbs with little or no warning. 5. Regular proper pruning reduces the risk of failure somewhat, but as they age, this measure becomes a diminishing point of no return due to the size of the secondary scaffolding, coupled with the factor of internal decay issues. 6. Most of the failures of large limbs have occurred during the summer months, when the likelihood of someone being within the target area is high. 7. Evidence of internal decay, as well as "beam shift" cracking is evident in both trees. I have recommended removal and replacement of these trees due to target value, likelihood of failure, and opportunity to cause damage to property, or personal injury. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or concerns regarding my assessments or evaluations of these trees. Casey P.

I have been president since 2012 and since that time we have used Casey Roland as our go-to guy for all of our MRPOA tree work. In that span of time Casey has, on numerous occasions, had to tend to major limb failures on the two big Weeping Willows in our common park area. The most recent limb failure occurred in mid-June of this year. Unlike other limb failures of the past, this time property damage occurred to the adjacent neighbor's property. The limb crashed through their fence, coming within about 6 feet of their home. We, the Board of Directors of MRPOA, feel that these willows are a hazard and very much a liability to personal safety and property, and we wish to have them removed. We are sorry to have to remove them, as they are quite beautiful, and unfortunately, potentially deadly. We are in the process of looking at other stronger trees we can plant once the willows have been removed. The area where the willows are located is a 2 acre open area that is used extensively by families that live within our MRPOA boundaries. The Board has now warned all residents to stay clear of the willows, as they are now a safety hazard. We have submitted the necessary paperwork and pictures for your review (attached), and we hope you will allow us to remove these willows and plant two new stronger trees in their place. Thank you for your consideration of this important safety issue that impacts all our Mountain Ranch homeowners. Sincerely, Doug Kay, president, MRPOA 541-482-9933 1 ~ 1 r, C , V~ l ~ 0 I , -)VP ~c v s y , i i a' 1 f r Mountain Ranch Willows.June 2018 Double Breakl o i r n i jl~ i;lomitaln Ranch 4.,'Villo:.s Jung --013 Propcorhr [)Mm ,,(Jo 'i t I I a I ft ~ , Mountain Ranch Willows 2014 , P , i F i z i I i r ' f r I - f i City of Ashland Community Development Department PLAN NUMBER f 51 Winburn Way TREE-2018-00014 Ashland, OR 97520 Telephone, 541-488-5305 pply Date: 6/25/2018 r Inspection Line: 541-552-2080 Plan Type: Tree Removal Work Class: Tree Removal Permit Review lviap & Tax Lot Property Address 391 E23BB538 1730 Greenmeadows Wy Owner Information Applicant Information Owner: Mountain RCH Prop Owner Assoc Applicant: Mountain RCH Prop Owner Assoc Owner Po Box 3141 Applicant Po Box 3141 Address: Ashland, OR 97520 Address: Ashland, OR 97520 Phone: (541) 482-9933 Phone: (541) 482-9933 Project Description 2 willow trees in common area of HOA Permit Details Tree Removal/Verification Fee (Type 1) $2900 Conditions of Approval Standard Conditions t Applicant Date Total Fees $29.00
