In order to repair the damage, and prevent future damage, the tree is proposed for removal. The application includes a letter from Canopy LLC recommending removal. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Multi -family residential; ZONING: R-2; MAP: 39 1E 09 CA, TAX LOT: 8100 SUBMITTAL DATE: November 17, 2022 DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: November 29, 2022 STAFF APPROVAL DATE: December 15, 2022 DEADLINE TO APPEAL (4:30 p.m.): December 27, 2022 FINAL DECISION DATE: December 28, 2022 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: June 28, 2024 DECISION This proposal is to remove one hazard tree from the property that is located at 111 Gresham St. The subject property is located between Pearl Rd and Wilson Rd on the west side of Gresham St. The property is 0.18 acres, is zoned R-2, and is developed with a triplex built in 1976. Because the property is developed with three dwelling units, a tree removal permit is required. The tree proposed for removal is a 35' tall, 19" DBH incense cedar tree at the property at I I I Gresham St. The condition of concern is the tree's proximity to the existing fence and patio at 395 Pearl St. The damage to the fence and patio is extensive. Fixing the patio would require removal of a great deal of the root zone close to the trunk of the tree, which would likely impact the tree's health and stability. The application includes an arborist report indicating that removal is the best long-term solution to address these issues and to prevent further damage to the neighboring property. 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 frontage. No public comment received either in favor or against. At the December regular meeting of the Tree commission the application was reviewed. The applicant presented the application and provided an overview for the reason to request the removal. The Tree Commission, after a brief deliberation, determined that the location of the tree and the roots warranted its removal and voted unanimously to approve the application as submitted. Due to the tree density at and around this property, no mitigation planting is required. To be deemed a "hazard tree" the condition or location of the tree must clearly present a public TREE -2022-00197 III Gresham St./jt Page I safety hazard. Or, that there is a foreseeable 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 and a site visit by staff, it is reasonable to conclude that the subject tree is indeed posing a hazard to the existing development. Staff finds that the tree, due to its location and size, poses an unacceptable hazard to the property that cannot be reasonably alleviated by means other than removal and replacement. Staff finds the application has sufficiently demonstrated compliance with all applicable approval criteria.. The criteria for a Tree Removal Permit are described in AMC Chapter 18.5.7:040.13 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. 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 41TREE-2022-00197, a request to reprove one hazard tree, complies with all applicable city ordinances with the imposition of the conditions attached below. Therefore, Planning Action #TREE -2022-00197 is approved. If any one or more of the following conditions are found to be invalid, for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action #TREE -2022-00197 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.

Box 3511 Ashland, OR 97520 (541) 631 -8000 CCB 199334 November 2, 2022 City of Ashland Planning 51 Winburn Way Ashland, OR 97520 RE: Tree ren-ioval permit at 111 Gresham St The tree being requested for removal is a healthy incense cedar, Calocedrits decurrens. It measures approximately 19" in diameter at breast height and 35' tall. It is located in close proximity to the property line with 395 Pearl St. The condition of concern with this tree is its proximity to the fence and the damage the roots are causing to the neighboring patio. The damage is extensive and is not captured well in the attached photos. Fixing the patio would require the removal of a great deal of the root zone close the trunk of the tree. There is also evidence that there is damage to the flooring/foundation of the home. When work is undertaken to correct the patio issues, it is likely that the tree's health would be impacted, but of greater concern is that the stability of the tree would be compromised. An idea of creating a "floating porch" was proposed but proved to be infeasible. The best long term solution in preventing further damage to the neighboring property will be the removal of the tree. Removal of this tree will not affect canopy densities as there are several other large stature nature trees on the property. The ground is flat and so removal will not negatively impact soil stability. Feel free to get in touch if there are any questions.
