Both are approximately 120 years old and are located in the side and rear of the property. The side yard tree has lost two very large branches last year that fell across the sidewalk and did substantial damage to a guest vehicle on Union St. as well as causing damage to the fence. The two remaining large branches have rot and weeping occurring where they meet the trunk. The tree had been cabled by a previous owner and those cables are now compromised and are no longer supporting the remaining branches over Union St. and the yard. The owner has concerns about these branches falling. The tree in the back yard has many large dead branches and sections of 'rot' have been filled with a concrete type filler. The applicant states that Mulberries typically do not grow past 75-100 years and that these are both past their useful life. The applicant intends to mitigate the side yard tree with a native shade tree of a species yet to be determined. There are no plans to mitigate the tree in the rear of the lot due to other existing landscaping.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Multi -Family Residential; ZONING: R-2; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 1E 09 BD; TAX LOT: 7600 SUBMITTAL DATE: April 30, 2019 DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: May 2, 2019 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 two mature Mulberry trees from a property located at 514 Siskiyou Blvd. in the R-2 zoning district. Typically a tree removal permit would not be required for an R-2 lot developed with only a single family home. That said, in staff assessment the property could be further developed. As such the property owner was required to apply for a tree removal permit. The two trees are approximately 120 years and have had substantial branches fall posing a hazard. Typically, Mulberries live between 75 to 100 years. The major branches have been cabled in the past but they are no longer supporting the branches. The trees have several large dead branches and sections of `rot' that have been filled with a concrete type filler. At the Tree Commission's May 91h meeting the application was reviewed. The Tree Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the tree removal as submitted. In staff s assessment, the tree removal as proposed satisfies the criteria for "hazard tree" criteria. TREE-2019-00063 514 Siskiyou Blvd./aa Pag,e 1 The criteria for- a Tree Removal Permit are described in AMC Chapter 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 (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 free 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. Planning Action ##TREE-2019-00063, a request to remove two hazard trees, cornplies with all applicable City ordinances with the imposition of the conditions attached below. Therefore, Planning Action #TREE- 20 i 9-00063 is approved. If any one or more of the following conditions are found to be invalid, for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action #TREE-2019-00063 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 1 %2-inch caliper and shall be a large stature deciduo s tree at maturity, shall be planted on site within one (1) year of issuance of this decision.

G:komm-&OplmningTorms & HandmRstiZoning Permit Applicalion.doc April 30, 2019 Application for Removal of 2 Mulberries at 514 Sisldyou Blvd Tree 1 is a large Mulberry, approximately 120 years old, located on the Union St. side of the property. Tree 2 is a large Mulberry, approximately 120 years old, located in the back yard of the property. 2: Removal Date Trees will be removed as soon as possible. We already had a removal date earlier this spring but had to postpone due to the permitting process. 3: Reason for Removal Tree 1: The tree on the side yard lost two very large branches last year that fell across the sidewalk and did substantial damage to a guest vehicle on Union Street as well as crushing the fence. The two remaining large branches have rot and weeping occurring where they meet the trunk. The tree had been cabled by a previous owner and those cables are now compromised and are no longer supporting the remaining large branches over Union St. and the yard. I am concerned about the remaining large branches collapsing, See Pictures in section 5 Tree 2: The tree in the back yard had largely been cut back by previous owners between 10 and 20 years ago. The main trunk and most of the larger branches are completely dead and large sections of rot had been filled with a concrete type filler. I am concerned with it's proximity to the power lines from the pole to my house. The tree is also quite ugly. See Pictures in section 5 Mulberries typically do not grow past 75 or 100 years. These two trees are definitely past lifespan and need to come to be removed. 4: Landscaping Plan We plan to replace Tree 1 located in the dog pen on Union St. with a shade type native tree that will hopefully, in time, grow to a similar size. The exact tree type has not yet been determined. Tree two will not be replaced immediately, there is other landscaping in the back yard that me hope will mature. Tree 1 Tree 2 6: Tree Protection Plan The arborist who will be removing the trees will have a lift vehicle onsite to help with removal. We do not believe removal of these tree will impact any other trees or landscaping on the property. 7: Arborists Report We have had numerous local arborists over the last year including arborists who have trimmed these trees for us confirm they are dying and tell us that next steps is removal. After the large branches fell last year we knew they needed to come out so we have been budgeting to have them removed. We are now prepared financially to have them removed. Please see the email attached from Jody who will be removing the trees that was sent to Aaron last month. Jody mistakenly has the trees listed as oaks but otherwise is all correct information.

Hello Mir.Anderson My name is Jody Smith and I am cloing some simple tree removal for the Repp family. I say simiple because the trees are on flat surfaces abd not near waterways in their back yard and have nothing that would cause public danger. I am an arborist of 7 years plus wood cutting fur several more than thst , I will be folllowing oschas strict set rules of safety. I will have one helper one day and two the next and the job should take no more than one day, two at the most I have researched if permits were required for removal of these older oaks that seem, to have fungus driven sickness and I have found none that must be purchased seeing that the trees are isolated on a single family dwelling free from endangering the public and are not on a slope or near a waterway. It does not seem to be a case of sudden oak disease where a deadly pathogen is the cause because the famiky states it's, been happening over the last few years. It is that my assumption that the partially living trees were infected by a fungus or bacteria that was carried by possibly a squirrel or other critter in the area. I am not aware of a serious illnesses that has struck trees in the the Ashland area and nobody I have spoken wuth has neither There seems to be one cable line that would call for any concern but I'll take every precaution 1 of 2 4/3,0/2019, 10:35 AM Fwd: Fw: Tree removal at 541 siskiyou for the Repp family. i necessary to assure the line is not damaged in anyway. All parts of both trees after being cut to approximately 12 inches from the ground and will be transported to rogue river. I understand that the removal of the remaining stumps because if their vast root system wil,l call for more research for location of any utility lines and I have made the Repp family aware, if that. If they choose me to remove those I will check with the city to assure they are removed safely free from damaging any utilities . I asked the Repp family to fore warn the surrounding neighbors so they are aware of the chainsaw noise that will be present on the 5th and 6th of Month. We will do some prep on the, afternoon of the 5th which will include some, branch removal and checking for rota and stability in the trees . I probably won't be able to get into the hearts of the tree because if their thickness and time it will take until the 6th , I am finishing up work on another project in rogue river on the morning if the 5th so will be doing the majority if the job on the 6th.
