The application explains that in recent years the tree has begun to lean considerably and now leans forty -five -degree angle and poses a hazard should it collapse. Despite years of maintenance removing canopy weight through regular pruning the applicant states that any additional removal of the canopy will have a detrimental effect on the overall health of the tree.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Multi Family Residential; ZONING: R-2; MAP: 39 1E 09 BA; TAX LOT: 6600 SUBMITTAL DATE: December 7, 2020 DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: December 28, 2020 STAFF DECISION DATE: January 28, 2021 DEADLINE TO APPEAL (4:30 p.m.): February 9, 2021 FINAL DECISION DATE: February 10, 2021 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: August 10, 2022 DECISION This proposal is to remove a single large box elder tree from the property at 386 `B' Street. The property is located on the south-west corner of the intersection between of B and 3rd Streets. The property is zoned Multi -Family Residential (R-2) as is the surrounding neighborhood. The property is developed with two residential structures. Because the property is zoned Multi - Family and developed with two dwellings all trees over six -inches Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) require a tree removal permit. The single tree proposed for removal is identified as a 25-year-old box elder (Ater negundo) in the application materials, and is estimated to be approximately sixty -feet tall and 27-inclies DBH. The application includes photos showing that the tree stands at a significant lean that has developed over the last decade. The application includes an email from `Southern Oregon Tree Care, LLC' prepared by an 1SA Master Arborist which states that this species of tree is notorious for large limb failures. The letter states that there are three homes in the strike zone if the tree were to fail as a whole tree. The letter states that based on the species characteristics of not being resistant to decay, soft weak wood prone to shed large horizontal limbs, and concludes that recommending removal as the only option to mitigate the hazard. To be deemed a "hazard tree" the condition or location of the tree must clearly present a public safety hazard (i.e., that the tree is likely to fall and injure persons or poopery} ). Or, that there is a TREE-2020-00134 386 B Sttaa Page 1 l:oresceable danger of property damage to an existing structure or facility, and, that such hazard or danger cannot reasonably be alleviated by treatment, relocation or pruning. Based on the materials provided by the applicant's arborist and a site visit by staff, it is reasonable to conclude that the subject tree is indeed posing a hazard .and therefore ought to be removed, During the public comment period staff received no input fi•on'r the public, At the January regular niceting of the Tree Commission staff presented the application and was also represented by the property owners. After a brief deliberation, the Tree Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the removal. The criteria for a Tree Removal Permit are described in AMC Chapter 18.5.7.040.13as follows: ?. Hazard Tree. A Hazard Tree Removal Permit shall be granted if the approval authority finds that the appllication 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 1.6. 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. Staff finds that Planning Action TRF -2t120l-t1�6134, a request to remove one hazard tree, complies with all applicable city ordinances with the imposition of the conditions attached below. 1"herefore, Planning Action #TREE-2020-00134 is approved. if any one or more of the following conditions are found to be invalid, for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action "1'1REE 282ti-tltl134 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 trees, of an appropriate stature, shall be planted on site within one (1) year of issuance of this decision. 01.28.2021 Bill Molnar, Dir recce Date Department of Community Development TREE-2020-00134 386 B st./aa.

The tree that are we are requesting to have removed is a 25 year old Box alder. The tree is located in our back yard about 15 feet of off of the alley and 3 feet from the neighbors property. The Box Elder right next to it is very healthy and growing vertically. The reason for removal is the angle that the tree has taken over the last 10 years, and the danger of it causing structural damage or harm to inhabitants. As you can see in the pictures I've included, the trunk is at a 45 degree angle. The canopy has become very large, and has a lot of weight that extends over the main house and the neighbors home. In the last 10 years we have had professional arborists evaluate the tree and have removed major limbs to decrease the load. Two weeks ago I had the arborist from Southern Oregon Tree Care come out and evaluate the tree, hoping just to have the canopy cut back. At that time he noted the tree was healthy, but was showing stress from the lean. A major tree limb comes off the already angled main trunk at 90 degrees. He noted cutting back the canopy any more would have detrimental effects on the Tree and only minimally take weight off. We do not take the removal of this tree lightly. We love the look of it and the shade it has provided us. I feel we are at a point where it has become dangerous to us and our neighbors. Since we have moved into our home we have planted over 16 trees and have a total of over 25 trees on the property of different shapes and sizes.
