STAFF DECISION DATE: May 21, 2019
DEADLINE TO APPEAL (4:30 p.m.): June 3,.2019
FINAL DECISION DATE: June 4, 2019
APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: December 4, 2020
DECISION
This proposal is to remove one birch tree from a property located at 495 Chestnut St. in the R-2 zoning
district. The tree is identified as a Betula pendula and is approximately 15-inches DBH, located centrally
in the common area of the development. The tree is in poor health and has a significant amount of dead
wood in the crown, which is most likely caused by the bronze birch borer. There is also a large decaying
cavity at the base of the tree.
The property was developed in 1968 as a 24-unit apartment complex, which was converted into
condominiums in 1991. During the public comment period one letter was received from Katie Jorgensen.
expressing concern that the tree be removed citing its aesthetic contribution to the development.
At the Tree Commission's May 9a' meeting the application was reviewed. The Tree Commission, citing
concern over the spread of the bronze birch borer, voted unanimously to recommend approval of the tree
removal.
In staff's assessment, the tree removal as proposed satisfies the criteria for "hazard tree" criteria.
The criteria for a Tree Removal Permit are described in AMC Chapter 18.5.7.040.11 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.
TREE-2019-00062
495 Chestnut St./aa
Page 1
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
20D 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.
Planning Action #TREE-2019-00062, a request to remove one hazard tree, complies with all applicable
City ordinances with the imposition of the conditions attached below. Therefore, Planning Action #TREE-
2019-00062 is approved. If any one or more of the following conditions are found to be invalid, for any
reason whatsoever, then Planning Action #TREE-2019-00062 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 one (1) mitigation tree with a minimum of a l'/2-inch caliper and shall be a large stature
deciduous tree at maturity, shall be planted on site within one (1) year of issuance of this decision.

Dear Ashland Planning Division,
I appreciate your diligence and concern for taking care of our community. It has come to my
attention that a tree of great concern to me is the subject of a planned removal. This tree is the source
of so many emotional benefits due to the privacy and shade it provides me. I feel as though Tudor
Heights won't be Tudor Weights without it. Having obtained a Masters of Science in Forestry from the
University of Montana, I understand that trees have lifespans are some species in urban environments
need to be watched out for. But as an owner in this community its aesthetics far outweigh the safety
concerns for me. Do we have to mitigate every hazard in this world? I ask that you please recommend
some mitigation options to perhaps keep the tree stable for 5 -10 more years.
At the very least, if this removal must take place, can we please please please wait until after the
leaves fail. This tree is still full of life and we waited all winter for the leaves to bud, please let us enjoy it
over the summer.
Thanks so much,
Katie Jorgensen

RE: Tudor Heights, birch removal
This is to accompany a tree removal permit request regarding a birch tree in the common area of the Tudor Heights I-IOA.
oil Chestnut street.
The tree in question is a bil°ch, Betulci penduki. It is approximately 15" DBH and 35 feet tall. The tree appears to be in
decline as evidenced by a significant amotint of dead wood in its crown, most likely caused by bronze birch borer. Also of
concern is a large, actively decaying cavity at the base of the tree. This tree should be considered an increasing safety
concern and removal is recommended.
If there are any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
