The tree is on the property behind a fence on the Second Street frontage. The application has a statement from a certified arborist that states the tree is in a state of decline with approximately 50% of the main stem in a dead or dying state.

The tree is greater than 6 inches diameter at breast height (DBM and is interior to the property, and the property is zoned C -1-D Commercial Downtown District. During a site visit, staff noted that the tree does appear to have an injury or illness near the base of the trunk but is still producing new leaves in much of the canopy. Due to this, the tree does not meet the definition for a "dead tree" — which would exempt it from permitting requirements - and requires Type I land use approval for the regulated tree removal. The maple tree is approximately 15 -feet tall and located inside the security fence on Second Street. The application was prepared by a certified arborist and states that the tree "is infested with verticillium wilt" and "half of the trunk is dead." The arborist recommends that the "tree be removed and replaced with a smaller statured tree" more suited for the location. 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 was reviewed during the regular April 2024 meeting of the City of Ashland Tree Management Advisory Committee (TMAC). Staff presented the application and provided an overview of the request where the TMAC recommended removal of the tree. The Notice of Complete Application (HOCA) 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 TREE -2023-00228 44 N Second Street / VA Page I 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. Based on the materials provided and site visits conducted, the tree appears to be nearing the end of its lifespan but does not meet the requirements to be deemed a hazardous tree. Staff nonetheless finds that the application has sufficiently demonstrated compliance with all approval criteria for tree removal for a tree that is not a hazard. The criteria for a Tree Removal Permit 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, 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 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. TREE -2023-00228 44 N Second Street / VA Page 2 Staff finds that Planning Action TREE -2024-00228, a request to remove one hazard tree, complies with all applicable City ordinances with the implementation of conditions attached below. Therefore, Planning Action TREE -2024-00228 is approved. If any one or more of the following conditions are found to be invalid, for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action TREE -2024- 00228 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 (1) appropriately sized mitigation tree be planted in the same location within one (1) year of removal of the Norway Maple tree. �-� , iv April 26, 2024 April Lucas, Acting Community Development Director Date Department of Community Development, Planning Division TREE -2023-00228 44 N Second Street 1 VA Page 3 AFFIDAVIT OF MAILING STATE OF OREGON County of Jackson The undersigned being first duly sworn states that: 1. 1 am employed by the City of Ashland, 20 East Main Street, Ashland, Oregon 97520, in the Community Development Department. 2.
