Adjacent to 1250 Greenmeadows Way APPLICANT/OWNER: Doug Kay for Mountain Ranch Property Owners DESCRIPTION: A request for approval to remove a hazard tree on the common area property of the Mountain Ranch Property Owners Association. The subject tree is described as a Norway maple that measures 20" DBH. The application includes an assessment by an arborist that states that the tree has decay and a large open injury that will precipitate failure of the mainstem and poses a danger as it leans over the house located at 1250 Greenmeadows. The report concludes that he recommends removal as soon as possible. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Single family Residential; ZONING: R-1-7.5; MAP: 39 IE 23 BB; TAX LOT: 1200 SUBMITTAL DATE: August 3, 2020 DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: August 6, 2020 STAFF DECISION DATE: August 25, 2020 DEADLINE TO APPEAL (4:30 p.m.): September 7, 2020 FINAL DECISION DATE: September 8, 2020 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: March 8, 2022 DECISION This proposal is to remove one hazard tree from the common area of the Mountain Ranch subdivision directly behind 1250 Greenmeadows Way. The lot is located on the western side of Greenmeadows Way, has a very narrow frontage, and runs behind the houses of the subdivision from 2255 Ranch Rd to 1150 Greenmeadows Way. The property is zoned R-1-75 and is 0.26 acres in size. The tree requested for removal is a Norwegian maple measuring approximately twenty inches DBH and fifty feet in height. About five feet above the ground level the tree splits into two main stems with one overhanging the residence at 1250 Greenmeadows Way. The application also includes an arborist report prepared by Casey Roland and states that he has been monitoring this tree for several years after noticing bark that was lifting from the main stem from ground level up to about seven feet in height. In October of 2018 during a routine inspection he noted that the necrotic tissue had worsened and recommended removal. In August, following a large branch that fell, Mr. Roland again came on site, he conducted a pull test to determine stability. No movement at ground level was detected, suggesting that its removal was not an emergency. This application to remove the tree followed. During the public comment period staff received four emails from other property owners in the area. All four emails expressed support for the removal of the tree. Due to the Corona virus and the city's emergency declaration none of the advisory commissions '1REE-2020-00122 1250 Greenmeadows waylaa Page 1 have been meeting including the Tree Commission, as such, there is no recommendation from the Tree Commission. However, the Staff Advisor reviewed the application materials and determined that the proposed tree removal is consistent with the criteria for a hazard tree removal. The criteria for a Tree Removal Permit are described: in AMC Chapter 18.5.7.040.13 as follows: 9. 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. AMC 18.6.1.030 Hazard Tree. A hazard tree is a tree that is physically damaged to the degree that it is clear the tree is likely to fall and injure persons or property. A hazard tree may also include a tree that is located within a public right of way and is causing damage to existing public or private facilities or services and such facilities or services cannot be relocated. Staff finds that Planning Action #TREE-2020-00122, a request to remove two hazard tree, complies with all applicable City ordinances with the imposition of the conditions attached below. Therefore, Planning Action #TREE-2020-00122 is approved. If any one or more of the following conditions are found to be invalid, for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action 4TREE-2020-00122 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, of an appropriate stature, shall be planted on site within one (1) year of issuance of this decision.

We have examined the tree in question closely, and we have had conversations with Ms. Evans, with the arborist Casey Rowland and with a representative of the MROPA Board. We have observed a stress test on the tree by the arborist as well. This is a large tree and it appears to be suffering from conditions that are causing the bark to deteriorate and separate from the trunk. On one side of the tree the bark is completely gone up as high as eight feet and the edge of the remaining bark is separating from the trunk. There is considerable foliage on the higher branches and it appears that there has been no trimming or thinning of these limbs in the recent past. Consequently, it appears to us that the tree is top heavy. We understand that recently a limb has broken off and landed on the roof of Ms. Evans home. For the safety of Ms. Evans, her home and the homes in the immediate area of the tree in question, we strongly endorse the application before you that the tree be removed as soon as possible.

Let me know if you have any additional questions or require anymore documents . Thanks, Doug 482-9933 From: Casey Roland<caseypro land treecare@g mail. com> Sent: 8/5/20 10:39 AM To: Doug Kay <dougkay@ashlandnet.net> Subject: Acer platonoides @1250 Green Meadows To whom it may concern, Doug Kay and I inspected a 20" d.b.h. (approx.) Norway maple located in the greenway/common area behind1250 Green Meadows Way in Sept of 2013. At that time I noted a lifting of the bark on the mainstem from ground level up to 7'+. 1 mentioned monitering the tree twice a year to evaluate the tree. In Oct. of 2018, the progression of necrotic tissue had worsened somewhat, and at that time I recommended removal due to the lean towards the residence, as well as proximity to the adjacent pathway, which has daily foot traffic. On 8-3-2020 we preformed a pull test to determine the stability of the below ground portion of the tree. While no movement was detected at this time, due to wound closure being unlikely, the resultant decay from the large open injury will precipitate failure of the mainstem. I recommend removal of this tree as soon as possible. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter. Casey P. Roland 541-488-0782 .

I have been the President of the Mountain Ranch Property Owners Association, for the past 7 years I have recently turned the reins over to a new President but I am still very active as the Landscaping Superintendent,, I have worked with Casey Roland as our go to arborist for al'i 7 years . Last week one of our residents , Peg Evans of 1250 Green Meadows Way, called me to let me know that a maple in our greenway had a 2 1/2 inch limb break off and hit her roof and fall to the ground Luckily no damage was done, this time, . I called Casey and together with Peg and myself looked at the maple, . In addition to the broken limb a 6 to 7 foot section of bark had come away from the trunk of the tree . Upon closer examination another crack is working its way LIP the trunk and a dead spot is located just below this new crack . Casey could insert a probe at least 5 inches into this dead spot opening . Also Casey raked his fingers across the bark by the new crack and it produced a very hollow sound as if the bark is pulling away from the trunkjust like the section on the other trunk . Casey believes this tree will not recover and is very hazardous in presenting danger to Peg Evan's house and any person walking down our greenway . The pictures show that this tree is essentially failing apart We are requesting approval for an immediate removal of this tree for the danger it presents to our horneowners and the legal liability it presents to our HOA. Please get back to me at your earliest convenience with your thoughts regarding our request for immediate removal .
