The tree is a fire hazard, it has been weakened from frequent topping to avoid interference with powerlines, and it is suffering from a Western Pine Beetle infestation. The application includes a letter from Table Rock Tree Care LLC recommending removal. Two trees are proposed as mitigation. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Commercial; ZONING: C-1; MAP: 39 IE 15 AB, TAX LOT: 8104 SUBMITTAL DATE: October 13, 2022 DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: October 25, 2022 STAFF APPROVAL DATE: November 10, 2022 DEADLINE TO APPEAL (4:30 p.m.): November 22, 2022 FINAL DECISION DATE: November 23, 2022 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: May 23, 2024 DECISION This proposal is to remove one hazard tree from the property that is located 1671 Clark Avenue. The subject property is located on the northwest corner of Clark Avenue and Harmony Lane. The property is 0.17 acres, is zoned C-1, and is developed with a duplex. Because the property is zoned for commercial use, a tree removal permit is required. The tree proposed for removal is a 31" DBH Scots pine tree at the property at 1671 Clark Ave. Because of its location, the tree has been repeatedly topped in order to prevent growth into powerlines. This has stressed the tree to a state that has made it difficult to fight off pine beetle infestations, as well as promoting poor apical growth resulting in multiple compromised leads that are growing with poor unions. The application includes an arborist report indicating that removal is recommended to address these issues. The report also notes that the tree is a fire hazard due to its location. Two mitigation trees are proposed to be planted. 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 November regular meeting of the Tree commission the application was reviewed. Staff 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 and the state of the tree warranted its removal and voted unanimously to approve the application as submitted. To be deemed a "hazard tree" the condition or location of the tree must clearly present a public TREE -2022-00194 1671 Claris Ave./jt Page 1 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 foundation of the building and therefore ought to be removed. Staff fords 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 fords 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 #TREE -2022-00194, a request to remove one hazard tree, complies with all applicable city ordinances with the imposition of the conditions attached below. Therefore, Planning Action 4TREE-2022-00194 is approved. If any one or more of the following conditions are found to be invalid, for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action #TREE -2022-00194 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 the mitigation trees be planted on the site at an appropriate location within twelve months of this approval. t/�o �ZvZz Brandon Goldman, Interim Director Date Department of Community Development TREE -2022-00194 1671 Clark Ave./jt Page 2 AFFIDAVIT OF MAILING STATE OF OREGON County of Jackson The undersigned being first duly sworn states that; 1.

This property belongs to Jackie Williams. Located on this property near the East property line is a Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris). This tree is 31" DBH and located directly underneath the powerlines running along the street. Because of its location, the tree has been repeatedly topped in order to prevent growth into powerlines. This has stressed the tree a state that has made it difficult to fight off pine beetle infestations, as well as promoting poor apical growth resulting in multiple compromised leads that are growing with poor unions. Extensive pruning could help reduce this risk to a slightly lesser degree, but it would still be significant. The only practical way to eliminate it is to completely remove the hazardous tree. Another issue concerning this tree is the infestation of Western Pine Beatle that is attacking it. Overtime, this insect will kill this tree. Not only is it detrimental to this tree, but all the other trees nearby that are the same species. While the host trees continue to harbor these pests, they provide a safe breeding ground, promoting an even greater, and more rapidly developing, spread of these pests to neighboring relatives of the same species. While treatment for these pests would help to reduce and control the established population. The only practical way to eliminate this infestation is to remove the tree completely. Partly due to the beetle infestation as well as the nature of this species of tree, there is and excessive amount of sap that has secreted and built up along the main stem, branches and base of this tree. Due to the tree's proximity to the house on this property, it makes this tree an extreme fire risk. The trees proximity to the road nearby only increases the risk of fire and it's spread to the home on site due to the high likelihood of burning debris such as cigarette butts and fireworks landing on this very combustible organic matter from passing pedestrians. It is my professional opinion that this tree should be removed. There will be two trees planted in its space. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Please feel free to contact me personally with any questions or concerns involving this report or the trees that are located on this site. Should you approve this request for a removal permit, we will plan to do the work on 11/28/2022. Sincerely, Tate Dunn B.Sc.
