ASHLAND PLANNING DIVISION FINDINGS & ORDERS PLANNING ACTION: PA -TI -2022-00188 SURIECT PROPERTY: 218 Logan Dr. OWNERIAPPLICANT: KenCairn Landscaping for Bonnington DESCRIPTION: A request for a Physical & Environmental (P&E) Constraints Review Permit for the construction of a new home on a previously approved lot, prior to, the implementation of the Hillside Standards Ordinance. Due to the steepness of the site, and the intent to minimize disturbance, the project is requesting an exception to the split foundation step back standard, 13 trees are proposed for removal and 26 are proposed to be preserved. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Single Family Residential; ZONING: R-1-10 MAP: 39 1 E 08 AA, TAX LOT: 6913 SUBMITTAL DATE: July 3, 2022 DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: July 8, 2022 STAFF APPROVAL DATE: August 1, 2022 DEADLINE TO APPEAL (4:30 pmi.): August 15, 2022 FINAL DECISION DATE (4:30 p.m.). August 16, 2022 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: February 16, 2024 DECISION The application requests a Physical and Environmental (P&E) Constraints Review Permit to allow the construction of a new Single -Family Residence on Hillside Lands with Severe Constraints for the property at 218 Logan Drive. The application includes requests for Exceptions to the Development Standards for Hillside Development Standards for step back footings as provided at SMC 18.3. 1 0.090.E2.b. The Subject properly is located at the terminus of Logan Drive and was created as Lot -12 of Logan Drive Phase 2 platted in 1991 (CS 1.3097). The property, and surrounding neighborhood in all directions but the west is zoned R-1-10; to the west is City -owned parkland. The subject property has an area of 14,577square feet (or 0.33 acres) and is irregularly shaped and steeply sloped (shown at right). The lot has 45 -feet of frontage along the Cul De Sac that ends Logan Drive. The property is presently vacant, with many trees. The property slopes to the east with an average slope of 26 -percent. The adjacent. Logan Drive right-of-way is developed with Curb only and has all city utilities. The subject property has a prior approval for a P&E PA -TI -2022-00188 218 Logan Drivejt Page 1 Constraints Review Permit for the construction of a new Single -Family Residence; that construction did not occur (PA -T1-2021-00170). The current application describes the proposal as follows: This proposal involves the construction of a new home on a previously approved lot, prior to the implementation of the Hillside Standards Ordinance. The center of the site is primarily over 35% slope, and this is the location of the building envelope. The vehicle access to this lot is predetermined and constrained by easement to enter on slopes under 25%, to get to the homesite the drive crosses more intense slopes the closer it gets to the home. The base of the house sites on slopes of 35°%n to 45%, and these steep slopes have determined how the house was designed, which is to minimize disturbance to the greatest extent possible. Due to the steepness of the site, and the intent to minimize disturbance, the project is requesting an exception to the split foundation step back standard identified in the ordinance. There are many mature native trees on site and the location of the home preserves the greatest number possible; there are 13 trees proposed for removal and 26 proposed to be preserved. The project will require an exception to the Hillside Standards for step backfootings (split -pad foundations (18.3.10.090.E.2. b) The application includes a geotechnical report prepared by Marques and Associates which includes geotechnical and structural engineering review of the proposal and recommendations for storm drainage, erosion control and longterm maintenance for the proposed site development. The application also includes written findings addressing the approval criteria for Physical & Environmental Constraints Review Permit for Development of Hillside Lands with Severe Constraints and Exceptions to the Development Standards for Hillside Lands Physical & Environmental Constraints Review Permit for the Development of Hillside Lands The first approval criterion for Hillside Development review is that, "Through the application of the development standards of this chapter (see AMC 18.3.10.080 Development Standards for Hillside Lands, AMC 18.3.10.100 Development Standards for Wildfire Lands and AMC 18.3.10.110 Development Standards for Severe Constraints Lands), the potential impacts to the property and nearby areas have been considered, and adverse impacts have been minimized." The application explains that the application of the requirements of the Hillside Ordinance, the oversight of a geotechnical expert and structural engineer, and the implementation of the erosion control plan, the potential adverse impacts of the proposal will be minimized. The applicant emphasizes that the development has structural retaining walls to lessen the impact of a structure on the site, and that limited terracing and site disturbance are proposed to minimize the area of disturbance. The application emphasizes that the proposed residence is sited to minimize site disturbance by limiting the footprint and reducing the driveway length and asserts that the proposal complies with lot coverage limitations and has little disturbance outside of the footprint of the building. The proposed residence responds to the hillside topography by cutting the residence into the hillside, reducing the building height and mass and limiting visual impacts to the adjacent properties. In considering the lot coverage, staff notes that the allowed lot coverage within the zoning district is 40%; the application proposes a total of 31.1% coverage. PA -T1-2022-00188 218 Logan Drive/jt Page 2 The second approval criterion is, "That the applicant has considered the potential hazards that the development may create and implemented measures to mitigate the potential hazards caused by the development. " The application explains that the entire property has slopes in excess of 25 percent, but based on the findings of the geotechnical expert, the site is stable for construction. The geotechnical report includes a number of recommendations that shall be required to be incorporated into the design. The site, though very steep displays no slipping or slumping. The foundation and structural retaining walls have been engineered, and the geotechnical expert will provide periodic inspections of the site to verify the development recommendations are being complied with. Erosion control measures including a graveled entrance, silt fencing and bio - bags are proposed for erosion control measures. Specific drainage recommendations are provided by the geotechnical expert and will be incorporated into the grading and drainage plans created by the project engineer. All erosion control measures will remain in place throughout the duration of the site work portions of construction. The applicant indicates that with the implementation of erosion control systems utilizing the installation of silt fencing and storm water drainage consistent with the recommendations of the geotechnical report the proposed site development will not create any hazards. The final criterion is, "That the applicant has taken all reasonable steps to reduce the adverse impact on the environment. Irreversible actions shall be considered more seriously than reversible actions. The Staff Advisor or Planning Commission shall consider the existing development of the surrounding area, and the maximum development permitted by this ordinance. " The applicant concludes that the design of the engineered single-family residence and associated site development has taken all reasonable steps to reduce adverse impacts to the environment including limiting the building footprint, placing it as near the street as possible to limit site disturbance and minimize driveway length, and reducing the area of impervious surfaces and site disturbances. Exceptions to the Development Standards for Hillside Lands The application includes requests for Exceptions to the Development Standards for Hillside Development Standards for step backed foundation. The application explains the need for the exception as follows: This lot was created before the implementation of the Hillside Ordinance and has much steeper slopes than would be allowed under the current ordinance structure. Building to the standards defined in the ordinance would requires the house floors and foundations to be pushed further back into the site. Where this strategy might work well in buildable areas up to 35%, it creates excessive disturbance in steeper lots, creating the need for more grading and terracing into the steep hillsides. This would also have the effect of more tree removal. Allowing for a more vertical approach to the building will allow for less site disturbance and preservation of trees. The house footings step back where possible, and the proposed home incorporates the front and side step -backs required by the Hillside Design Standards. This exception allows this project to respond more fully to the goals of this chapter. Tree Removal PA -TI -2022-00188 218 Logan Drive/jt Page 3 The application states that there are thirteen trees proposed for removal and that they are a.11 located within the building envelope or the driveway. The application states that"The project was designed to preserve the greatest number of trees possible." and "Sixteen trees are proposed as mitigation and they exceed the required mitigation sizes." I'tiblic Input Notice of the planning action was mailed to all properties within 200 feet of the subject property as well as a physical notice posted along the frontage of the property. The notice included a staff contact name and number. In accordance with AMC 18.5.1-050, the Type I procedure for planning applications allows a 14 -day period for the submission of written comments, starting from the date of mailing. No comment was received by the: Public. The approval criteria for a Physical Constraints Review Permit are detailed in AMC Chapter 18.3.10,050 as follows: A. Through the application of the development standards of this chapter (see AMC 18.3.10.080 Development Standards for Hillside Lands, AMC 18,3,10.100 Development Standards for Wildfire Lands and AMC 18.3.10.110 Development Standards for Severe Constraints Lands), the potential impacts to the property and nearby areas have been considered, and adverse impacts have been minimized. B. That the applicant has considered the potential hazards that the development may create and implemented measures to mitigate the potential hazards Caused by the development. C. That the applicant has taken all reasonable steps to reduce the adverse impact on the environment. Irreversible actions shall be considered more seriously than reversibie actions, The Staff Advisor or Planning Commission shall consider the existing development of the surrounding area, and the maximum development permitted by this ordinance. The approval criteria for an Exception to the Development Standard for Hillside Lands are detailed in AMC Chapter 18.3.101.090,.H. as follows: Exception to the Development Standards for Hillside Lands. An exception under this section is not subject to the variance requirements of chapter -18.5.5 Variances. An application for an exception is subject to the Type I procedure in section 18.5. 1,050 and may be granted with respect to the development standards for Hillside Lands if the proposal meets all of the following criteria. 1. There is demonstrable difficulty in meeting the specific requirements of this chapter due to a unique or unusual aspect of the site or proposed use of the site. 2. The exception will result in equal or greater protection of the resources protected under this chapter. 3. The exception is the minimum necessary to alleviate the difficulty. 4. The exception is consistent with the stated Purpose and Intent of chapter 18,3, 10 Physical and Environmental Constraints Overlay chapter and section 18.3.10.090 Development Standards for Hillside Lands, PA -'F1 -2022-00188 218 Logan Drive/jt Page 4 The criteria of approval for a Tree Removal are described in Ashland Municipal Code (AMC) 18.5.7.040.B.2 which require that all of the following criteria are met: 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 98.4 and Physical and Environmental Constraints in part 18.3.10. 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.

The center of the site is primarily over 35% slope, and the location of the building envelope overlaps this area. The vehicle access to this lot is predetermined and constrained by easement to enter on slopes under 25%, to get to the homesite the drive crosses more intense slopes the closer it gets to the home. The base of the house sits on slopes of 35% to 45%, and these steep slopes have determined how the house was designed, which is to minimize disturbance to the greatest extent possible. There are many mature native trees on site and the location of the home preserves the greatest number possible; there are 13 trees proposed for removal and 26 proposed to be preserved. The project will require an exception to the Hillside Standards for step back footings (split -pad foundations (18.3.10.090.E.2.b) Chapter 18.2.4 GENERAL REGULATIONS FOR BASE ZONES 18.2.4.010 Access and Minimum Street Frontage Complies, this lot abuts a cul-de-sac.

The driveway has a portion of fill that is adjacent to the neighboring property to the North and is contained in asphalt drive and retained. There are some fill slopes adjacent to the house that will be completely revegetated. There is no need to have any utilities in the fill slopes other than travelling up the drive, which is the most appropriate location for getting utilities to the homesite. Bonnington P and E 218 Logan Drive Application Submittal — Ne, dome in Hillside Lands 218 Logan Drive 7.5.22 There will be a common trench up the middle of the drive, the utility plan will be developed by the project engineer or other appropriate professional with input from City of Ashland departments.

The building envelope and driveway were designed to preserve as many trees as possible. The project is in wildfire lands, and a wildfire plan is included in the graphic documents. Site utilities will utilize the driveway to get access to the site. and therefore, no trees shall be affected by the utility placement. 4. Tree Protection. On all properties where trees are required to be preserved during the course of development, the developer shall follow the following tree protection standards: Please see the tree protection plan submitted with this project. 5. Tree Removal. Development shall be designed to preserve the maximum number of trees on a site. The development shall follow the standards for fuel reduction if the development is located in Wildfire Lands. When justified by findings of fact, the hearing authority may approve the removal of trees for one or more of the following conditions: All trees proposed for removal fall within the excavation zone of the drive and/or the homesite. 6. Tree Replacement. There are thirteen trees proposed for removal, the project planting plan identifies 16 trees proposed to be planted as mitigation. E. Building Location and Design Standards. All buildings and buildable areas proposed for Hillside Lands shall be designed and constructed in compliance with the following standards: 1.Building Envelopes. Bonnington P and E 218 Logan Drive Application Submittal — Ne. ,-tome in Hillside lands 7.5.22 218 Logan Drive This was a pre-existing lot and does not necessarily comply. The project proposes building envelope to comply with ALUO setbacks required in this zone. 2.Building Design. a. The proposed building height does not exceed 35 feet from natural grade. b. Cut buildings into hillsides to reduce effective visual bulls. -the proposed building is cut into hillside on 2 level of the home (basement and first floor) d. The design incorporates the following guideline: Continuous horizontal building planes shall not exceed a maximum length of 36 feet. Planes longer than 36 feet shall include a minimum offset of six feet. e. The design incorporates multiple hip roofs. f. The design incorporates the use of roofs as decks. g. The design incorporates the use of natural coloration. F. The foundations have all been designed per geo-technical recommendations by a structural engineer. G. This is a pre-existing lot. H. Exception to the Development Standards for Hillside Lands. This lot was created before the implementation of the Hillside Ordinance and has much steeper slopes than would be allowed under the current ordinance structure. Building to the standards defined in the ordinance would requires the house floors and foundations to be pushed further back into the site. Where this strategy might work well in buildable areas up to 35%, it creates excessive disturbance in steeper lots, creating the need for more grading and terracing into the steep hillsides. This would also have the affect of more tree removal. Allowing for a more vertical approach to the building will allow for less site disturbance and preservation of trees. The house footings step back where possible and the proposed home incorporates the front and side step -backs required by the Hillside Design Standards. This exception allows this project to respond more fully to the goals of this chapter. 18.3.10.100 Development Standards for Wildfire Lands A fire prevention and control plan has been submitted as part of the graphic materials. 18.3.10.110 Development Standards for Severe Constraint Lands Please review geotechnical reports and graphic submittals to determine the response to severe constraints section. H. Exception to the Development Standards for Hillside Lands. No exceptions are requested 18.4.5.030 Tree Protection Please see the tree protection and removal plan submitted with this application. Bonnington P and E 218 Logan Drive Application Submittal — Ne, glome in Hillside Lands 218 Logan Drive 7.5.22 Chapter 18.4.8 SOLAR ACCESS This home has been designed to conform to solar setback A and meets all the required standards for this category. A 20 -foot tall shade producing point requires a 27.3 -foot setback on this property. There is no location where this structure is 20 -feet tall on the north facade. This structure meets the solar ordinance requirements. See the solar summary on sheet A0.1 for reference Chapter 18.5.7 TREE REMOVAL PERMITS A. General Submission Requirements. There are 13 trees proposed for removal on this property. All trees proposed for removal lie within the proposed driveway and/or homesite footprint. Tree removal will most likely occur in October 2022. The project was designed to preserve the greatest number of trees possible. Sixteen trees are proposed as mitigation and they exceed the required mitigation sizes. Prior to requesting a verification permit, all trees slated for removal will be tagged with orange survey tape, and all trees on the site are tagged and numbered with aluminum arborist tags. Please see graphic response Sheets L 1.2 Tree Protection and Removal Plan which identifies trees to be removed, and L 2.0 Planting Plan which identifies the mitigation trees. 18.5.7.040 Approval Criteria B. Tree Removal Permit. All trees proposed for removal are to allow for consistency with the development standards. Removal of these trees will have no effect the stability of the site as their locations will be integrated into the site development construction for this project which in itself will define an upgraded site stability and erosion control. Surface waters will not be greatly disturbed by the placement of the home and driveway, the improvements are all at the bottom of the site. the density and species diversity within 200 feet of the site is predominantly scrub oak, ponderosa pine and incense cedar, the surrounding area is if anything overly forested. This project will not greatly affect canopy density or diversity, and will instead add to both. 18.5.7.050 Mitigation Required A. Replanting On Site. The mitigation trees will be planted on site D.

From: Rick Swanson, P.E., G.E. RE: Geotechnical Engineering Design Recommendations Proposed Residence at 218 Logan Drive, Ashland, Oregon MAI Job No, 21-1185 As requested, we have prepared this letter for the proposed residence at 218 Logan Drive in Ashland, Oregon. As part of the preparation of this letter, we met with you at the property on August 19, 2021, observed the surface conditions, observed the subsurface conditions that were exposed in two exploratory test pit excavations, and discussed the proposed construction. The residence is expected to be a two-story structure over a daylight (basement) garage. The structure will be set deeply into the upsloping hillside and it is expected that the garage level will require cuts on the order of 5' and 10' deep, respectively, at the front and at the rear of the proposed residence. Site Conditions The site is vacant, undeveloped, and forested. The property slopes steeply uphill to the west. An irrigation ditch, and the adjacent ditch access road, lie along the western property line. The property is bounded by an existing residence on the east and by undeveloped and forested land on the north and south. No outcrops of granitic bedrock were observed on the site, but outcrops were observed in the irrigation ditch just north of the subject property. No signs of unstable soils or hillside instability were observed. Two exploratory test pits were excavated in the proposed building pad on August 19, 2021, with a small to medium sized trackhoe provided by JM Construction. Test Pit 1, which was located on the uphill side (near the proposed most southerly corner of the building pad), encountered 1.3' of loose, dry silty sand overlying decomposed granodiorite bedrock. Test Pit 2, which was located on the downhill side (near the proposed most easterly corner), encountered 1' of loose, dry silty sand overlying decomposed granodiorite bedrock. The granodiorite encountered in Pits I and 2 was dense to very dense and was observed to the depths explored (9' in Pit 1 and 7' in Pit 2) in the test pits. No groundwater was observed in the test pits during excavation. Eric Laursen August 26, 2021 Page 2 of 3 The geologic map of the area (Beaulieu and Hughes, 1977, Land Use Geology of Central Jackson County, Oregon: DOGAMI Bulletin 94) indicates the site is underlain by diorite and granodiorite. The nearest known active fault (fault displaying movement within the last 10,000 years) system is the Sky Lakes Fault Zone that lies over 30 miles east of the site. Geotechnical Engineering Design Recommendations We believe the proposed development can be constructed as proposed provided the recommendations contained in this letter are incorporated into the design and construction of the project. • All existing organic -laden soil should be removed from beneath the building pad and from beneath future general fills and site hardscaping. • All soil should be removed from beneath building footings and building slabs. Site excavations for future general fills or hardscaping should be made flat and stairstep up- or down -hill to enable placement of structural fills or general fills on flat subgrade surfaces. • Upon completion of pad excavation work, we should be called out to observe the excavations to check for weak or deleterious materials. • The on-site soils are not suitable for re -use as structural fill beneath the building. The excavated decomposed granodiorite bedrock may be re -used as general fill in landscaping and embankment areas. All fill materials must be compacted to at Ieast 95 percent relative compaction in accordance with ASTM D698 Method A and until hard and stable. All fill should be placed in 8" thick (maximum) loose lifts. The compaction should be verified by either periodic density testing or by proofrolling, where appropriate, with a loaded 10 cy gravel truck. • Finished cutslopes and fillslopes should not exceed 2 horizontal to 1 vertical. All new slopes should be protected from erosion and sediment loss by installing erosion protection measures (plantings, netting, hydroseeding, mulching, etc.). • Building footings may bear directly on decomposed granodiorite bedrock or on a thin layer of structural fill, such as well -compacted, high quality 3/4"-0 crushed rock, that is underlain by decomposed granodiorite bedrock. Building footings supported in these manners may be designed for an allowable bearing pressure of 3000 psf for dead plus live loadings and this pressure may be increased by one-third for short-term loadings (wind or seismic). Lateral loads can be resisted with a friction coefficient of 0.35 and a passive pressure equal to an equivalent fluid pressure of 300 pcf. • All slabs should be underlain by at least 6" of structural fill, such as well -compacted, high quality 3/4"-0 crashed rock, and all weak soil should be removed from beneath slabs. Slab subgrades should be thoroughly hardened by compaction and proofrolled, where possible, with a loaded truck under our observation. • The proposed lower level slab of the residence should be protected from adverse water penetration with an underslab drainage system. This drainage system should include 8" of mechanically tamped, free -draining 3/4" crushed rock (no fines, no round rock) over bedrock or over structural fill underlain by bedrock. Three-inch diameter, perforated, rigid PVC pipes should be placed about 2" above the bottom of the free -draining crushed rock and spaced about 10' apart beneath the slab in an X -Y pattern and starting about 5' inboard of the perimeter retaining wall foundations. The pipes should be connected by a Eric Laursen August 26, 2021 Page 3 of 3 solid pipe sloped at 2% or steeper to some suitable discharge facility downslope of the house. A true waterproofing barrier should also be placed atop the free -draining rock. Retaining walls should be supported on footings designed in accordance with the criteria stated above. Unrestrained walls with level to gently sloping (less than 25 percent slopes) backslopes should be designed to resist an equivalent fluid pressure of 40 pcf. Where restrained, walls with similar backslope conditions should be designed for 60 pcf. Where backslopes exceed 25 percent, but are no steeper than 50 percent, the above equivalent fluid pressures should be increased by 20 pcf. Adequate backdrainage must be provided behind all retaining walls, and interior walls should be thoroughly waterproofed. A foundation drain should be placed adjacent to the perimeter building footings (except where retaining wall backdrains are required) to control moisture beneath the structure. The backdrains should be set as low as possible to enable maximum subdrainage control. Exterior grades around the structure should be sloped away from the structure. There is a natural swale at the site that will cause slope runoff to drain towards the proposed residence. We suggest that this drainage be diverted around the residence by cutting/filling a new surface drainage facility (rather than a catch basin and underground piping) in the rear and side yard areas. Please call us if you need additional foundation design criteria. This brief letter has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted soil and foundation engineering principles and practices in this area. No other warranty, either expressed or implied, is made.
