These removals are proposed to accommodate the installation of the fire protection system which requires trenching on the north side of the building. Four new trees are proposed to mitigate these removals. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Employment; ZONING: E-1; MAP: 39 lE 09 BA, TAX LOT: 14900 SUBMITTAL DATE: March 31, 2022 DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: April 1. 2022 STAFF APPROVAL DATE: April 28, 2022 DEADLINE TO APPEAL (4:30 pan.): May 10, 2022 FINAL DECISION DATE: May 11, 2022 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: November 11, 2023 DECISION This proposal is to remove four trees from the property that is located at 101 A St. This is a modification to an existing Site Design Review (PA -T1-2021-00164) at the same location. The subject property is located on the north side of A St and the cast side of Oak St. The property is zoned E-1 with a Residential Overlay. It is neighbored by E-1 zoning to the north, east, and south, and R-2 zoning to the west. It is within the Historic Railroad District and is named the "Ashland Fruit & Produce Assoc. Building (Oak St Tank & Steel)" in the National Register of Historic Places (ID #149.0). The four trees to be removed are greater than six inches DBI -I and are located on the northeast corner of the property, between the historic building and the railroad tracks. The code is clear that a permit is required for the removal of trees greater than six inches DBH on private lands zoned E-1. These trees were previously identified to be preserved and protected in the plans proposed in the 2021 Site Design Review (PA -T1-2021-00164). Due to the finalization of the fire protection system design, the trees' preservation is no longer possible. Four new trees are proposed to mitigate these removals. In accordance with the Land Use Ordinance, Notice of Complete Application (HOCA) was mailed to all surrounding properties within 200' of the subject property as well as a physical notice posted along the fiontage. No public comment received either in favor or against. At the April 7"' meeting of the Tree Commission the application was reviewed. Staff began by TRP,R-2022-00184 101 A St/jt Page presenting an overview of the application before Ian Ellingson -White from Arkitek presented on the larger project occurring at 101 A St. The project involves a complete remodel of the site in two phases. Ellingson -White discussed the reasoning for locating the fire water connection in the proposed location. The Commission discussed the trees, in question and the appropriate species selection for mitigation plantings. Ellingson -White confirmed that the mitigation trees may be planted above the water line after construction as it is one of the few locations on the property where mitigation plantings could be located, The Tree Con-unission ultimately voted unanimously to approve the application as submitted, agreeing to leave the species selection to the project architect. Staff finds the application has sufficiently demonstrated compliance with all applicable approval criteria. The criteria for a Tree Removal Permit (Not a hazard) are described in AMC Chapter 18.5.7.040.13 as follows: 2, Tree That is Not a Hazard, A Tree Removal Permit for a tree 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 18.3.10. b. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on erosion, sell 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 requ:ire, the applicant to mitigate for the removal of each tree granted approval pursuant to section 18,57,05 0. Such mitigation requirements shall be a condition of approval of the permit. Staff finds that Planning Action #TREE- 2022- 00184, a request to remove four anon -hazard trees, complies with all applicable city ordinances with the imposition of the conditions attached ,below, Therefore, Planning Action #'I'REE-2022-00184 is approved. If any one or n -tore of the following conditions are found to be invalid, for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action #TR -EE -2022-00184 is denied. The following are the conditions, and they are attached to the approval: TREE -2022-001 84 101 A St/jt Page 2 1.

The purpose of the project is to establish the new headquarters for the Blue Marble Company and revitalize the existing "Oak Street Tank and Steel" building. Work includes: 18,645SF interior renovations +3,390SF expansion of existing mezzanine/second floor, construction of new dormer, replacement of roof (Area A), replacement of HVAC system (including new rooftop mechanical units), and installation of a new fire sprinkler system. Minor site work includes the construction of a fire vault and FDC for connection to new fire sprinklers. Mailboxes will be relocated from Oak Street to'A' Street. Tree Removal: Four trees on the north side of the building, facing the railroad tracks, are affected by the installation of the fire protection system. The proposed trenching for the fire water lines runs beneath these existing trees. We are applying for a tree removal permit for these affected trees. The affected trees will be replaced with new plantings and landscaping. III.
