Amy Gunter, Rogue Planning and Development, 1424 Ivy St, Medford, OR, is working with the property owner
at 146 N. Pioneer St
space with a vacant tenant space in the back. Ms. Gunter remarked that as part of their proposal they are
putting in bicycle parking in the public right of way. Ms. Gunter announced her idea of starting the historic marker
program through the installation of artistic bike racks. She passed around some example photos of bike racks
that have a historic feel to them and may be used towards this program. Ms. Gunter explained that Mr. Molnar
called, The Forge, that does iron work would design these racks (that look like railroad spikes) for the applicants.
The Commission heartily endorsed this idea.

PLANNING ACTION REVIEW
PLANNING ACTION: PA-2016-02095
SUBJECT PROPERTY: 563 Rock Street
APPLICANT: Advantage Building & Design
OWNER: Michael & Maxine McNab
DESCRIPTION: A request for a Site Design Review to allow for the construction of a 990 square
foot second dwelling unit at 563 Rock Street. The project involves restoring the existing historic
contributing residence and the construction of a new second dwelling unit located off of Maple Street.
The proposal also requests an Exception to Site Development and Design Standards to allow for a
parking buffer less than eight feet from a residential structure. Seven non-hazardous trees are
proposed for removal from the subject property as part of the application. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
DESIGNATION: Low Density Multiple-Family Residential; ZONING: R-2; 39
1E 05 DA; TAX LOT: 5200.
Swink stated that he conversed with Ms. Smith, the contractor on the project. Giordano and Emery
have both been working with Ms.Gunter on other projects. They all stated that it will not affect their
judgement on this project.
Schexnayder gave the staff report for PA-2016-02095.
Shostrom opened the public hearing to the applicants.
Melanie Smith, Contractor of Advantage Building and Design on W. Nevada Street, Ashland, OR
and Amy Gunter of Rogue Planning and Development at 1424 Ivy Street, Medford, OR gave a
background on their proposal. Ms. Gunter stated that there has been a demo permit applied for with
the Building Official but has been placed on hold with no decision made at this point. She went on
to say that there is a quandary because this house has severe issues and will cost a lot to restore.
They think it can be shown as a full demo but the hard part is the struggle with the economic feasibility
factor. The proposal they are looking at tonight is to not remove the house but repair it as much as
frontage.
The last communication from Mr. Molnar was that they should get a special inspection from the
Building Official on site to walk through the line items to justify the feasibility factor of the demo permit.
Ms. Smith declared that they are not really sure where this project is going because the property
owners are scared turning into a money pit.
There was much discussion back and forth in regards pieces of the house that would have to be
of damage to the roof, walls sagging because of the leaking chimney and a very large porch
infestation.
There was some discretion with the photos that were in the packet in comparison to what the
applicants had. There were no dimensions or slope shown in the drawings and the Commission
was in agreement that they were confusing and incomplete.
Emery stated that he being asked to approve a moving target and is uncomfortable
acting on it with the incompleteness of the application. The elevations are confusing and so are the
CADS. Things need to be labeled and adjusted before they feel they can make a decision. There
is a height difference in the windows and the roof over the porch is different. Emery went on the say
that finished floor elevations would be helpful.
Casey Bright, owner at 531 Scenic, addressed the Commission regarding the project. Mr. Bright
stated that he would like to have the property owners and the contractor come to his house to see
what he has done with his home. He has been there over 20 years and believes that historic
restoration has value beyond the house. Mr. Bright suggested they work with what they have and
wants to encourage restoration in his neighborhood.
Shostrom closed the public hearing and opened to the Commission for comments.
Giordano motioned to continue PA-2016-02095 with below recommendations. Whitford seconded. Voice
vote; All AYES. Motion passed.
1. Submit revised materials including the Site Design Review Information listed under Ashland Municipal
Code (AMC) section 18.5.2.040.B.1;2;3;4;7;8. More specifically the Historic Commission requested the
following information including a comprehensive set of building plans with elevation drawings existing
and proposed, siding details, trim details, window details, material details, two foot contour intervals,
and photographs of the site.
DISCUSSION ITEMS:
Continued discussion of proposed ordinance amendments for public art installations on historic
contributing buildings with the Public Arts Commission.
Shostrom gave a background of the long road of meetings with the Public Arts Commission and with the
Mayor. Shostrom discussed his frustrations with the ending process but went on to say that he learned a lot
about himself. He stated that what was presented in the packet should not be changed at this time and
should go to the Public Arts Commission for review.
Shostrom motioned that the material presented in the packet go to Public Arts Commission for their review.
ALL AYES. Motion passed.

aspect of an existing structure or the proposed use of a site; and approval of the exception will not substantially negatively impact adjacent
properties; and approval of the exception is consistent with the stated purpose of the Site Development and Design; and the exception requested is
the minimum which would alleviate the difficulty.; or
2. There is no demonstrable difficulty in meeting the specific requirements, but granting the exception will result in a design that equally or better
achieves the stated purpose of the Site Development and Design Standards.
TREE REMOVAL PERMIT

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.
