The tree is in the northwest comer of the property behind the residence. The tree was topped in years past and approximately 20 percent of the upper canopy is dead. There is no immediate hazard, but due to the size, condition of the tree, and location near the residence the applicant is requesting full removal with mitigation. To mitigate the loss of this tree, the applicant is proposing to plant a tree on the property near the comer of Holly Street and Gresham Street. The Community Development Director's decision becomes final and is effective on the 12th day after the Notice of Final Decision is mailed. Approval is valid for a period of 18 months and all conditions of approval identified on the attached Findings are required to be met prior to project completion.

The tree is in the northwest corner of the property behind the residence. The tree was topped in years past and approximately 20 percent of the upper canopy is dead. There is no immediate hazard, but due to the size, condition of the tree, and location near the residence the applicant is requesting full removal with mitigation. To mitigate for the loss of this tree, the applicant is proposing to plant a tree on the property near the corner of Holly Street and Gresham Street. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Multi Family Residential; ZONING: R-2; ASSESSOR'S MAP & TAX LOTS: 39 1E 09 CA; TAX LOT: 5400 SUBMITTAL DATE: August 14, 2023 DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: August 17, 2023 STAFF APPROVAL DATE: September 12, 2023 DEADLINE TO APPEAL (4:30 p.m.): September 25, 2023 FINAL DECISION DATE: September 26, 2023 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: March 26, 2025 DECISION The application requests a Tree Removal Permit to remove one redwood tree from the property at 292 Gresham Street. The property is 0.35 acres, zoned R-2. Because the tree is greater than 6 inches diameter at breast height (DBH) and the property is zoned R-2 multifamily residential, tree removal is regulated and processed as a Type I permit. The tree is approximately 35 -feet tall with a DBH of 22 inches. The tree was topped in the past and approximately 20 percent of the upper canopy is dead. It is not an immediate hazard but will likely become hazardous in the coming years. According to the application and site plan the property is well vegetated with a diversity of tree species. No adverse effects are expected from the removal of the one tree. Two large healthy oak trees will likely benefit from the removal as they will have more room and sun to grow. The applicant is proposing onsite mitigation for the loss of the redwood tree. The proposal includes planting a similar species approximately 3---6 inches diameter on the property near the corner of Holly and Gresham streets away from powerlines and other established healthy trees. The work is proposed to be conducted approximately 30 days after approval. The applicability for tree removal (per AMC 18.5.7.020) is that it shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements of AMC Chapter 18.5.7. The application included a narrative, site plan, and photo of the proposed tree to be removed. Staff conducted a site visit to confirm the proposal. TREK -2023-00214 Gresham Street /jnc Page I The application was reviewed during the regular September 7, 2023, meeting of the City of Ashland Tree Management Advisory Committee (Tree MAC). Staff presented the application and provided an overview of the request. After discussion, the committee unanimously approved the removal of the tree, noting that with the tree being mostly dead, it is likely to become a hazard in the near future. The Notice of Complete Application 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 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 from the public. The applicant has submitted a burden of proof document showing that they meet the criteria of approval for a Tree Removal Permit. That document is incorporated herein by this reference. In staff s assessment, the proposed removal of one tree is in conformance with the land use ordinance approval criteria as cited below. In summary, to be deemed a "hazard tree" the condition or location of the tree must clearly present a public safety hazard (i.e., that the tree is likely to fall and injure persons or property), or that there is 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. The application materials stated that the tree is not an immediate hazard. However, 20 percent of the upper canopy is dead, and the Tree MAC reviewed and approved the removal. Therefore, based on the application materials provided, site visit conducted, recommendation from Tree MAC, and that the tree is in decline, staff finds the application has sufficiently demonstrated compliance with all approval criteria for tree removal. The criteria for a Tree Removal Permit are described in AMC Chapter 18.5.7.040.8 as follows: 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, 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 TREE -2023-00214 Gresham Street Ijnc Page 2 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. Such mitigation requirements shall be a condition of approval of the permit. Staff finds that Planning Action TREE -2023-00214, a request to remove one tree, complies with all applicable City ordinances with the implementation of conditions attached below. Therefore, Planning Action TREE -2023-00214 is approved, if any one or more of the following conditions are found to be invalid, for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action TREE -2023-00214 is denied. The following are conditions of approval: 1) That all proposals of the applicant shall be conditions of approval unless otherwise specifically modified herein. 2) That one replacement, mitigation tree of an appropriate species and stature shall be planted on site. 3) That replacement, mitigation tree shall be planted during late fall through early spring following the removal year. 4) That replacement, mitigation tree shall be irrigated and maintained for at least the first three growing seasons to promote survival. 67� 1 9� Brandon Goldman, Community Development Director Date Department of Community Development, Planning Division TREE -2023-00214 Gresham Street Ijnc Page 3 AFFIDAVIT OF MAILING STATE OF OREGON County of Jackson The undersigned being first duly sworn states that: 1.

FINDINGS/APPROVAL CRITERIA 18.5.7.040 2. Tree Removal Permit Criteria for a Tree that is not a hazard findings below: 2a. This request is not a part of another land use application. 2b & c. Removal of tree will not have any negative impact on erosion, soil stability, flow of waters due to minimal slope and surrounding other trees in the area. Removal of tree will not have adverse effect on the adjacent trees, or existing windbreaks, the area of the tree targeted for removal is flanked on either side by two large healthy Oak trees so the removal will likely benefit those around for years to come by allowing those to have more room + sunlight. The property has great species diversity withing 200 feet, including an amazing Cork Oak, removal of this tree will not affect the canopy given the overgrowth of the surrounding trees canopies already. For mitigation we plan on planting a similar species of tree, approx. 3-6" in diameter on the property away from the exiting location that currently interferes with surrounding healthy trees as well as overhead power lines to the residence. I feel the best location for the mitigation tree is at the corner of Holy and Gresham (see attached plan -location) to replace a approx.. 8` tall tree stump from prior owners. 2d & e. The impact to the overall tree density at the site will not be negatively affected given we plan on planting a mitigation tree to replacing the one removed. Date of Removal If granted approval to remove will do so within 30 Days of approval or any appeal period.

The comments of this pre -app are preliminary in nature and subject to change based upon the submittal of additional or different information. The Planning Commission or City Council are the final decision making authority of the City, and are not bound by the comments made by the Staff as part of this pre - application. ASHLAND PLANNING DIVISON SITE: 292 Gresham PRE -APPLICATION CONFERENCE APPLICANT: Rogue Planning & COMMENT SHEET March 24, 2021 Development REQUEST: Land Partition PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: This pre -application conference is intended to highlight significant issues of concern to staff and bring them to the applicant's attention prior to their preparing a formal application submittal. Summary: The partition appears straight forward and meets the base requirements of the zone. Driveway relocation The application discusses a relocation of the driveway, but there are no supporting illustrations. A final application shall be required to include details of the proposed driveway location and any required reciprocal access easements. • Tree Removal It appears that the relocation of the driveway will require trees greater than six inches to be removed. This will need to be addressed in the final planning application. There is a 26" pine within the proposed building envelope. Is that tree being requested for removal in concert with the partition? Are all other tree proposed for protection? A final application shall include a tree protection plan showing all trees to be preserved as part of this land use action. • Lot Coverage and setbacks A final application shall specify the percentage of lot coverage for the lot retaining the home, and detail the amount of side yard setback on the preliminary partition plat. • Sewer According to the city utility maps the sewer later serving the existing house crosses the southern property line into the future vacant parcel. The building department will require that this be relocated so that the private lateral does not cross property lines. In the alternative the applicant would need to demonstrate why the relocation is not possible and provide an easement and maintenance agreement. The final application shall identify the location of all utilities. MPFA / Historic Zone All MPFA calculations appear correct. 292 Gresham St. March 24, 2021/aa Page 1 Scalable Plans: The plans submitted for the pre -application conference are not to scale. Scalable plans are required for the application to be deemed complete. Tree PreservationlProtection/Removal: All planning actions are required to include a tree preservation/protection plan in accordance with AMC 18.61; this is intended to ensure that trees are protected during all site disturbance (including demolition, construction, driveway/parking installation, staging of materials, etc. In addition, this proposal is in the hillside lands overlay and is subject to the tree preservation requirements for hillside lands in section 18.3.10.090. Wildfire Lands: The parent parcel is located in the wildfire lands overlay. As a result, the application to divide the lot into two parcels requires a fire prevention and control plan to be submitted with the application. The approved plan is then required to be implemented prior to the issuance of a building permit for structures located on the lots created by the partition. See subsection 18.3. 10.1 OO.A for the fire prevention and control plan requirements. Local Improvement District: The two proposed parcels will be required to sign in favor of a local improvement district for future improvements to the right of way. Solar Setback: The application will need to demonstrate that a home can be located on the new vacant lot and meet the solar setback requirement as required in section 18.4.8.040. Maximum Permitted Floor Area (MPFA): Both the new vacant lot and the one to retain the home is subject to the MPFA requirements. Neighborhood Outreach: Projects involving changes to established neighborhood patterns can be a concern for neighbors, and staff always recommends that applicants approach the affected neighbors, make them aware of the proposal, and try to address any concerns as early in the process as possible. Notices are sent to neighbors within a 200 -foot radius of the property. Written Findings/Burden of Proof: Applicants should be aware that written findings addressing the ordinance and all applicable criteria are required, and are heavily depended on when granting approval for a planning action. In addition, the required plans are explained in writing below. The burden of proof is on the applicant(s) to ensure that all applicable criteria are addressed in writing and that all required plans, written findings, and other materials are submitted even if those items were not discussed in specific, itemized detail during this initial pre -application conference. ■�e��rrea�ea�rta��sa��a��E�rE�r�rrrrarrr�rrrrr��er�r��Ea�r��s��E OTHER DEPARTMENTS' COMMENTS BUILDING DEPT.: See above regarding the sewer lateral.

The existing residence will remain on the property and occupy the corner lot. I I P a g e PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: The subject property consists of Lots 11 and 12, Block 50 of the Summit Addition to Ashland. The property is a 14,933 square foot, .35 -acre lot on the east side of Gresham Street. The corner lot is northeast of the Gresham Street and Holly Street intersections. The lot has 132.38 -feet of frontage on Gresham Street and 113.8 feet of frontage on Holly Street. The property is occupied by a 1,513 square foot single story residence that was constructed in 1956. There is a 363 square foot basement and a 338 square foot carport attached to the south side of the residence. The carport structure is accessed from Holly Street by a narrow asphalt driveway on the east side of the property. There is a 346 square foot deck, a 260 square foot patio and approximatly 1,000 square feet of asphalt driveway areas. The general topography of the property slopes gradually at eight percent from the south to north. On the east side of the property, there is a steep drop to the grade of the adjacent property to the east. There are a number of trees on the property or within the adjacent right-of-way. The trees include Ponderosa pines, Oaks, Cork Oak, fir, spruce and cedar. Walker Avenue has a 60 -foot -wide right-of-way. Walker Avenue along the frontage of the property is improved with pavement and curb and gutter. There are no sidewalks on this portion of Walker Avenue. Parcel 1: The existing single-family residence will be located on the proposed Parcel #1. The existing structure is 1,578 square feet with a 278 square foot attached carport. The carport is accessed from an asphalt driveway that starts on the east property line, and crosses the property to the carport. The proposal provides for a 7,000 square foot parcel. The new lot configuration alters the setbacks of the residence and turns Holly Street into the front. The partition property lines provide adequate setback of six feet for the side yard, and the residence is more than 10 -feet from Gresham Street. The setback from Holly Street is more than 20 -feet, the minimum in the zone. The 7000 square foot lot also complies with Maximum Permitted Floor area and detailed lot coverage information will be provided in the application. Parcel 2: 7,900 SF The new vacant parcel would have 62.81 -feet of frontage on Holly Street and extends 132.38 feet to the north. The lot is approximatly 7,933 square feet in area. The parcel is proposed widen and share the driveway with the existing residence. The driveway accessing the subject lot and the lot to the east share the apron wing. A relocated driveway apron that accommodates the traffic from two residence will be proposed. 2 1 P a g e Solar Setback Standard A: For the purposes of the solar setback ordinance, based on the rough data presented, the average slope of the new parcels to the north is approximately 8 percent downhill. The proposed lots N/S dimension exceeds that calculated by the formula. Trees: There are a number of trees throughout the property. The trees have been measured and the proposal will require tree removal to accommodate a buildable area and revised access to the street for the residence.
