FINDINGS & ORDERS
PLANNING ACTION: TREE-2020-00128
SUBJECT PROPERTY: 485 Clinton St.
OWNER/APPLICANT: Dolly Travers for Riverwalk HOA
DESCRIPTION: A request for approval to remove two conifer trees from a common
area at the Riverwalk subdivision. The application materials indicate that the trees are in poor
health as indicated by lack of root flare visible canker wounds and a pronounced lean. The
application explains that the HOA feels that these trees pose a fire hazard as well.

FINAL DECISION DATE:
January 5, 2021
APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE:
June 5, 2022
DECISION
This proposal is to remove two coniferous trees identified as hazard trees from the property at
485 Clinton Street known as Common Area North to the Riverwalk Subdivision. The property is
0.10 acres in size and is undeveloped except for landscaping. Because the trees are a part of the
approved landscaping plan a tree removal permit is required. The property is located at the south-
west corner of the intersection of Clinton and Brisco Streets. The subject property and
surrounding neighborhood are zoned R-1-5.
The two trees proposed for removal are confirs planted in a row that nuns north -south adjacent to
the home at 443 Clinton St. The application explains that the trees are requested for removal as
they don't meet fire -wise standards as they provide ladder fuel. The application materials
included pictures of the trees showing that one has a slight lean. The photos also showed details
of the base of the trees stating that they showed evidence of girdling roots and lack of visible root
flare.
The Ashland Fire Department, working with the Homeowners association conducted a walk
through in an effort to make their community more fire -wise. Staff received an email from. Ms.
Gibble at the AFD which wrote in relevant part: "If these trees are limbed up 1/3 the way up the
tree, or 8 feet off the ground, then they are spaced well enough that they do not represent a fire
hazard."
During the public comment period staff received no input from the public.
The application was scheduled to be reviewed by the Tree Commission at their regular monthly
TREE-2020-00128
Clinton St. Riverwalk Common Area/aa
Page 1
meeting in October, but there was not a quorum so no business was conducted. Staff felt the
evidence in the record insufficient to determine that the trees were a hazard without input from
the Tree Commission. Staff consulted with the applicant who agreed to extend the time period to
the 120-day rule. On November 101b the applicant provided a form agreeing to a 60-day
extension to the time limit set forth in ORS 22T178(1).
At the November 5t", 2020 meeting of the Tree Commission there was a quorum and the tree
commission reviewed the application. At that time, the tree commission was only accepting
written testimony. The tree commission reviewed the application materials and determined the
fire hazard posed by the trees could be mitigated by pruning. The tree commission did not find
that the lean of the trees, nor the lack of `visible root flare' indicated that there were any issues
with regard to the health of the trees. After a brief deliberation, the tree commission voted
unanimously to recommend denial of the application. As staff prepared findings there were
concerns that there was not information in the record to confirm that pruning the trees to the
standard recommended by the fire department would not have a deleterious effect on the trees.
For this reason, staff remanded the application to the tree commission again for an additional
hearing.
At the Tree Commission's December 3, 2020 meeting the application was once again presented.
This time the tree commission was accepting oral testimony via zoom. The application was
represented by both the adjacent property owner and the head of the landscape committee for the
Riverwalk HOA. The applicants provided testimony, presented a PowerPoint presentation and
fielded questions from the commissioners. At the close of the public hearing the tree commission
deliberated. It was stated that the trees appeared healthy, and the while there was evidence that
one of the trees was leaning slightly it did not affect the stability of the tree. The tree commission
found that the photographic evidence was not conclusive that the trees were in poor health. After
the deliberations concluded the tree commission found that there was not enough evidence in the
record to make a finding that the trees represented a hazard. The tree commission then voted
unanimously to recommend denial of the application.
Following the tree commission hearing, the staff advisor reviewed the tree commission's
recommendation and concurred that there was not evidence in the record to make a finding
approving a hazard tree removal.
The criteria for a Tree Removal Permit are described in AMC Chapter 18.5.7.040.8 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.

Page 2
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.
Now, therefore, Staff finds that Planning Action #TREE-2020-00128, a request to remove two
hazard trees is denied without prejudice. By denying the application without prejudice,
pursuant to AMC 18.5.1.1.130.A, the applicant is free to reapply at any time with a more
developed application.

Anderson to find out how to submit a request. I am the chair of the Landscape
Committee and am submitting this request for Riverwalk.

is the "Common Area North" where the two trees we are requesting permission
to remove are located.

The two trees that Riverwalk is, requesting to be removed are in an area of
Riverwalk called "CAN (Common Area North). The following photo is from
Google and was taken many years ago. The trees requested to be removed are in
the middle the row of conifers, that run N-S along the house on the left side
(south) of the picture.
These trees do not meet Fire -wise standards:
These trees provide a fuel ladder to the nearby home
The proximity of the fuel load trees to the home

The trees are within the defensive space for the home
These trees, in a wind storm, slam in to most vulnerable part of the home - the
roof
The need to keep trees away from structures
The proximity of the wood fence to the trees
The existing conditions of the trees render them unsafe:
Removal was requested by the nearby homeowners
During the wind storm, the trees slammed into the house and roof
The trees are too close to a home
The trees are, endangering the home and fence.
The conifer trees are fuel loaded
Both are leaning.
Neither trees have visible root flare
Evidence of girdling roots
Large canker on the lower portion of trunk of tree #1 impacts and questions the
structural integrity of the tree
Both have questionable and unsafe root flare areas - no root flare, asymmetrical
trunk, canker damage, and girdling stems.
The house is well within the landing zone if either tree fell in that direction.

Tree A (#4): Bottom of trunk - There is a small indented, narrow horizontal
girdling stem embedded within the trunk at the base above the pine

movement of water and nutrients from the roots and stems via the xylem and
Tree B(#1) No visible root flare (root collar, root crown). The lowest part of
the trunk is distorted and has more trunk tissue on the right side than the
