Other Commissioners present were Cloer, Powell, Medinger, Thompson, Armitage, Carr and Hibbert. Staff present were McLaughlin, Molnar and Yates. The applicants for Planning Action 93-095 (Barton/Roberts) have requested a continuance until next month. APPROVAL OF MINUTES AND FINDINGS Powell moved to approve the Minutes of the June 8, 1993 meeting. Medinger seconded the motion and all approved. PUBLIC FORUM No one came forth to speak. TYPE II PUBLIC HEARINGS PLANNING ACTION 93-094 REQUEST FOR OUTLINE PLAN APPROVAL OF A 24-LOT SUBDIVISION UNDER THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OPTION TO BE LOCATED AT 604 AND 606 OAK STREET (ACROSS FROM POPLAR PLACE SUBDIVISION ON PATTERSON STREET). APPLICANT: POPLAR PLACE ASSOC. & ROGUE VALLEY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Site Visits and Ex Parte Contacts Medinger stepped down from the hearing as he has an interest in the application. Site visits were made by all. STAFF REPORT The application is for a 24-1ot subdivision for a total of 23 new homes. One of the lots is occupied by an existing residence. A new public street is to be created from Patterson Street west to Oak Street. The main feature of the land is a small seasonal creek, running diagonally across the property from southwest to northeast. The creek is listed on the National Wetlands Inventory. The applicant has supplied information regarding their discussion with the Division of State Lands and DSL has required the applicant to do a delineation of the creek area. Only a small section of the northeast corner has been identified as a jurisdictional wetland. A letter from Janet Moreland of DSL is included in the packet, approving plans as long as the wetland is in an open space area. Nine homes are proposed to meet the affordable housing standards of the City. There is a common open space area along the creek. The applicant said there will also be a pathway along the open space area and they are planning to contact the Jessica Lane Homeowners Assn. to see if they could develop the pedestrian pathway through their subdivision also. Staff would like to see an additional pedestrian path connecting Poplar Place between Lots 17 and 18. By using the path along the open space, it would be a somewhat more roundabout way to Oak Street. The applicant has used common driveways to minimize curb cuts in several locations, however, Staff would like to reduce the number of curb cuts along Oak Street by consolidating the points of access and locating the driveways for Lots 14 and 15 off Crispin and possibly Lot 13 as well. One of the requirements of approval is that all structures within 160 feet of the proposed site be shown. On the map submitted it does not show a building directly across Oak Street from Crispin. In fact, 603 Oak Street is almost directly across from where Crispin intersects Oak Street. The property owner of 603 Oak, the Bayuk's have expressed concerns regarding headlights shining into their structure and proposed relocating Crispin so it would come out further to the south. Staff has not had an opportunity to look since receipt of this letter to discuss the impacts on 603 Oak Street. Also where Crispin intersects Oak, there is a large oak tree that appears to be closer to Crispin than indicated on the applicant's map. Staff believes the tree should be retained. Staff had recommended approval until the last two issues were discovered, so the Commission may want to continue the hearing. If the Commission recommends approval, there are 14 attached Conditions. Jarvis said there were letters from: Division of State Lands, Carole Wheeldon, and Bayuk that were entered into the record. Molnar read the letter from DSL and Carole Wheeldon. ASHLAND PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JULY 13, 1993 Cloer commented that Bayuk's letter is lengthy and wondered if Staff had had an opportunity to study it. McLaughlin received it today and said he would let the applicant respond, but he found some items that did not pertain. PUBLIC HEARING LARRY MEDINGER, 695 Mistletoe Road, stated this application is under the same partnership that did the recent development of Poplar Place (adjacent to this development). They are working with Rogue Valley Community Development Corp. (RVCDC), a local non-profit organization, offering homes to people with incomes of $18-27,000. RVCDC will purchase ten lots from Medinger and develop those ten lots under the affordable housing standards. Medinger thought the driveway access to Lots 14 and 15 seemed appropriate, as recommended by Staff. Lot 13 will be under ownership of the residents of the existing house and he has no control over whether they will accept the driveway off Crispin. Medinger was not in favor of changing the pedestrian walkway. He did not think it would be difficult for pedestrians to walk around to the common area and also did not believe it would be fair to the owner of Lot 18 accessed on all but one side by traffic, to add a pedestrian path next to it. With regard to Bayuk's letter (bottom Page 3 - 18.88.030) and the problems of headlights in his window, Medinger explained that his draftsman must have missed a house on the aerial map (because it blended with the trees). In examining the street layout, he suggested redesigning the street to come out slightly more toward town and that would not disrupt the layout of the lots. He would like to bring this back at final plan. Medinger entered a photograph of 603 Oak into the record and mentioned that with heavy vegetation and street redesign, that should take care of Bayuk's concerns about headlights. Medinger said he definitely wants to save the oak tree. Medinger intends to phase this project in two parts. He is trying to set up next year's work. He hopes to finish the improvements to Patterson Street then build or set up for construction of five lots on Patterson and Oak. Next year, he would build the houses on Crispin Street. In answer to Powell's question to Staff regarding the pedestrian path through Poplar Place subdivision, McLaughlin said the final easement agreements are nearing completion, and it will be physically possible to get through there. ASHLAND PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JULY 13, 1993 Medinger noted there would be a play area for young children at the south end of the common open area. JOHN HEATHERSTONE, 606 Oak Street, residing at 2000 Tolman Creek Road, said the large oak tree at the corner of Oak and Crispin is on his property, and is healthy and he would like to see it stay. Where Crispin is to come out is close to 603, however, it is not right in front of 603. With Crispin moved to the south, any headlights would be minimized. Initially, Heatherstone did not object to the driveway from Lot 13 accessing onto Crispin. DEBORAH HEATHERSTONE, 2000 Tolman Creek Road, owner of 606 Oak Street thought the criteria have been met by the applicant. She also wants to save the oak tree. BARBARA HEYERMAN, 555 Carol Street, is supportive of affordable housing. She is concerned that as houses get smaller, parents will ask their kids to go outside and play. She is not sure there is enough play area for children. The wetland area is "wet" and she is not sure it could be considered a play area. The area near Poplar is steep. Kids in Poplar Place play out in the street. KAREN SMITH, 165 Jessica Lane, said her lot is 50'x50' and has a shared lot line. Their neighborhood knows about this type of development. She couldn't be more supportive of this project, however, she feels the density has a great deal of impact on the area. There are drawbacks to homeowner's associations. They have worked very hard at making their area work on Jessica Lane. She would ask that there be a requirement that houses be owner occupied with an allowance that an owner could be absent for a year at a time, but she would like to avoid an area of rentals. Even though Smith liked the idea of shared driveways, she said it was a disaster waiting to happen. Where are boats, trailers, and basketball hoops placed? BARBARA OLDFIELD, 162 Jessica Lane, President of Jessica Lane Homeowner's Assn. said she wondered who would pay liability insurance for the playground that could be shared between Poplar Place and the new subdivision and also asked if it would be fenced. She is supportive of affordable housing, although she has found it can be difficult for families to pay their monthly homeowner's association dues. EVAN SHUE'I-FE, 196 Patterson Street, explained that he lives almost off the end of the opposite end of Crispin Street, and he would like to request that Crispin be moved slightly to keep the headlights out of their house. With a 20 foot paved street (Patterson St.), they had trucks during construction parked on their sidewalks to let other traffic through. Shuette did not see any provision for on-street parking, for ASHLAND PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JULY 13, 1993 example, parking bays. He would like to see the walkway between Lots 17 and 18. He requested that no building be allowed before paving of the street is done. If that happens, it can result in mudholes as during the Poplar Place construction. The Ordinance requires builders to keep the streets clean. MICHAEL HENNEMAN, 198 Jessica Lane, stated that he is against the proposal as it stands, but not in totality. (Jarvis also read his written comments.) He is concerned the density for that amount of space will cause more problems than it will solve. He is supportive of affordable housing. Henneman has concerns with the common area. All the Jessica Lane common area is very usable. He does not see any areas where there will be usable area in the proposed development. There is a swamp and a creek bed. He has kept the drainageway open near his property and wondered if this was going to be addressed. DALE LYSNE, 536 Parkside Drive noticed that both planning actions being heard tonight are located in the Helman School District and wondered if anyone had looked at the impact of increased enrollment at Helman School. McLaughlin responded that the City keeps the School District apprised of new developments. The school is required to accommodate the standard growth of the City. McLaughlin said the applicant was not required to have open space for density bonus points they received. They must have five percent of the project in open space in some form. The application meets this requirement. McLaughlin said the requirement for one on-street parking space for each lot has been met. It is indicated by a dot on the map. McLaughlin has heard concerns about density, however, the density is established by ordinance and the Commission has no discretion over this issue. Powell wondered when houses are sold, then do they cease to be affordable housing? McLaughlin said in the affordable housing agreement, the nine houses must comply. A buyer has to qualify within the income levels set by the City. If no one qualifies and the house is sold under the open market, the profit made would be paid to the City and used in the affordable housing program. The affordable units must be occupied by the owner and if sold, sold as affordable. McLaughlin would hesitate to put off relocation of the road until final plan, but would rather address at outline plan. By granting approval and deferring a decision to a later time is beyond what is normally approved at outline plan. Staff would recommend that if the relocation of the road is an issue, that it be brought back next month. LARRY MEDINGER, during rebuttal said that RVCDC is going to be subsidizing the price further down to meet income levels. He did not think rentals were addressed by ASHLAND PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JULY 13, 1993 the City Attorney in the Ordinance. A house has to be bought by the owner and occupied by the owner. However, in ten years, to say the house could not be rented for a period of time, might not be in the spirit of the Ordinance. The Commission might want to ask the City Attorney that the City take a flexible position that would not allow long-term rentals, but short-term rentals might be advisable. Medinger did the best he could to design the south end of Crispin. He cannot move that street any more. He is happy to continue with redesigning the Oak Street end of Cripsin. He cannot cut out a lot because he is trying to do more affordable housing than is required. Medinger said he was taking care of the drainage pipe mentioned by Henneman. COMMISSIONERS DISCUSSION AND MOTION Everyone agreed that the driveways from Lots 14 ad 15 should be shared and placed behind Lots 14 and 15, between Lot 16, and accessed onto Crispin rather than Oak. The Commissioners agreed that the applicant should return with a revised street design of Crispin and Oak and to make sure the oak tree is located. Also, the Commission agreed to recommend or require the driveway from Lot 13 access onto Crispin. The owner of Lot 13 seemed agreeable, however, Powell wondered if it could destroy any historic quality of the house. The. applicant can come back with a proposal. Powell would like to eliminate Lot 18, leaving more room for a pedestrian path and play area, but agreed to accept the applicant's proposal. Armitage favored the pedestrian walkway down the riparian area and did not feel an additional 300 feet would make that much difference. He felt there would be more impact on Lots 17 and 18. Thompson thought a path through Lots 17 and 18 would be appropriate. Hibbert wished to see a path between Lots 17 and 18. Carr agreed. Cloer did not believe it was that great a distance to walk to the open area and did not see a need for a walkway between 17 and 18. Jarvis agreed. Carr thought the intersection of Crispin and Patterson should be redesigned to protect the already existing homes. Hibbert looked at the map and listened to Medinger and Shuette and he does not believe headlights will be directed right at Shuette's house. Thompson also believed the lights would just miss Shuette's house. Powell and Cloer agreed that this issue does not need to be reconsidered. ASHLAND PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JULY 13, 1993 McLaughlin would like to add a Condition regarding track-out during construction. All Commissioners agreed. Thompson moved to limit testimony to three issues at next month's regular meeting: 1) the redesign of the west side of Crispin and its entrance to Oak Street, 2) a proposal by the owner of Lot 13 on using a driveway off Crispin Street rather than Oak Street, and 3) modification of Condition 12 to include driveways from lots 14 and 15 be shared and exit onto Crispin. All other issues are considered resolved including the deletion of Condition 11. Powell seconded the motion. The motion carried uanimously. The applicant agreed to waive his 120 time period for processing an application. Hibbert left the meeting. PLANNING ACTION 93-095 REQUEST FOR OUTLINE PLAN APPROVAL OF A 12-LOT SUBDIVISION ON 7.6 ACRES UNDER THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OPTION ACCESSED OFF SCENIC DRIVE. PROPERTY LOCATED BETWEEN THE DITCH ROAD AND SCENIC DRIVE AND BETWEEN NUTLEY STREET AND LOGAN DRIVE. APPLICANT: JOHN BARTON/BRUCE AND POKII ROBERTS Jarvis read a letter into the record from Dan Harris requesting postponement of this hearing until August. Carr moved to continue, Cloer seconded the motion and the motion carried to continue. APPROVAL OF THE FINDINGS Carr moved to approve the Findings of 93-053 as amended to conform to the motion on the audio tape. Cloer seconded the motion and it was approved. (Secretary's Note: The audio tape and Minutes corresponded and the Findings were corrected.) Carr moved to approve the Teitelbaum Findings. Thompson seconded the motion and it was approved. PLANNING ACTION 93-096 REQUEST FOR OUTLINE PLAN APPROVAL OF A 27-LOT SUBDIVISION UNDER THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OPTION TO BE LOCATED AT 122 ORANGE STREET (BETWEEN LAUREL AND HELMAN STREETS). APPLICANT: QUALITY HOUSING ENVIRONMENTS ASHLAND PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JULY 13, 1993 Site Visits and Ex Parte Contacts Site visits made by all. -*Carr had a site visit and noticed several for sale signs. -,Cloer had a site visit and noticed the undeveloped parcel to the west. -,Medinger said there is lots of water coming off this property, almost continually, all year long. The downhill ground water will need to be dealt with. -,Thompson was involved with the last few decisions on the property and recollected the struggle the Commission had with the street design. STAFF REPORT The history of this property is included in the Staff report. This is a request for a 27-1ot subdivision and the applicant is proposing to gain density bonus through conservation housing and affordable housing to gain the density needed to build 27 units. Staff concerns involve street design and lot layout and the design of the the adjoining properties. Staff does not want cul-de-sacs and inefficient traffic patterns, but want to insure that this design will allow for development of adjacent properties. Staff Map 1 included in the packet might be an ideal situation. This would lay the groundwork for a connected street pattern. Since the time that map was drawn, a buyer has been looking at the Hays property to the west. McLaughlin showed an overhead with another proposed layout that would provide shared open space, still allowing for a street stub to the Reynolds property and ventilation to Helman Street. This design would also allow for less asphalt too. However, Staff does not believe there is enough information for the Commission to make a final decision and the neighbors should be allowed to comment on the new design. Also, the applicant has not provided sufficient information with regard to conservation housing. Thompson wondered where the pedestrian access routes might be located. McLaughlin explained that if a local improvement district is not formed, Staff has recommended that the developer will be responsible for a half street improvement. Sidewalks have not been indicated on the plan and Staff finds it may be appropriate to put the sidewalk adjacent to curb on the side with parking and a park row established on the side with no parking. The applicant is trying to utilize shared driveways. Private yards are not indicated, but Staff does not see that there will be a problem complying with the 600 square foot minimum private area for each parcel. ASHLAND PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JULY 13, 1993 Staff believes there needs to be a clear understanding that the Reynolds farm and pond that there is an adjacent farm and it be noted as such in the CC&R's and also, that no complaints will be recognized about standard agricultural practices that take place on the farm. McLaughlin concluded that this application does not yet appear ready for an approval, however, it would be helpful to the applicant if the Commission would give him some direction on what he needs to achieve with this development. Thompson suggested a path through to the corner of Orange and Laurel. PUBLIC HEARING STEVE JANNUSCH, 1657 Old Stage Road, Central Point, speaking on behalf of the applicant, Daryl Bonin, said he was in agreement with what Staff is proposing. They met with the purchaser of the property to the west and they want to work cooperatively on a design. Jannusch would like the design to be compatible with what is happening on the adjacent parcels. The applicant has taken into consideration the Reynolds farm and will try to impact them as little as possible. Jannusch did not believe the density is out of line for this site. The lot sizes are from 5,000 to 7,000 square feet. Each home will meet the Conservation Housing requirements at the time of building permit. The applicant is willing to accept the improvements to Orange Avenue, whether a local improvement district is formed or not. The applicant has tried to use common driveway aprons whenever possible. DARYL BONIN, 359 Kearney Street, explained that the envelopes are a mixture of traditional and zero lot lines to provide a variety and interest. He believes there is enough information to grant an approval this evening. The only real difference in designs is the shifting of one lot. There would be no problem including the language in the CC&R's to address the Reynolds farm. As far as the ground water issue, he has spoken to the engineers and they said it was there and could be dealt with. He believes it occurs because of irrigation. The pedestrian pathway that was suggested is off his property. They plan to use shared aprons, not shared driveways. He wants a clear delineation between the properties. They will be using a lawn substitute in some places. Medinger told Bonin the ground water is not coming strictly from irrigation. Bonin said there will be storm drains. Medinger warned Bonin that there will be a liability to the ASHLAND PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JULY 13, 1993 downhill neighbors if the subsurface water travels down. Bonin agreed with the sidewalk proposal presented by Staff. Jarvis told the applicant that the density bonus for Conservation Housing asks for specific information and the application needs to be amended to reflect this information to make sure density bonus can be met. Bonin said they have agreed that the houses will comply with energy standards since there might be a different path used for every house. Jarvis wondered if Bonin would have a problem with the Commission attaching a Condition that private yards need to be noted on the site plan. Bonin said he did not have a problem with that. With regard to Conservation Housing density bonus, Jannusch wondered if there needed to be a path given for each house, and Medinger said the information supplied needs to be very specific in order to meet the criteria for approval. McLaughlin told Bonin to identify some measures that are planned to be taken, for example, use the high efficiency furnace in combination with lawn. This requirement is also for the applicant's benefit in knowing compliance will occur. DON RIST, Talent, 260 Joy Drive, supports this project and believes it meets the criteria and he also feels the two parcels work together well. CHRIS HEARN, 505 E. Main Street, was speaking on behalf of Dr. John Reynolds. Dr. Reynolds has grave reservations about co-existing with the proposed development. To mitigate the dichotomy of uses, the inclusion of the restrictions in the CC&R's sound favorable. Also a six foot high solid wood fence would be helpful. Dr. Reynolds would like the Commission to consider a buffer zone of several feet. Dr. Reynolds believes that the two uses may not be able to co-exist and he may need to subdivide. Hearn requested a continuation so Dr. Reynolds can have some input with regard to street design into his property. SARAH REYNOLDS BLEASDELL, 153 Granite Street, opposed the proposal. MIKE REYNOLDS, 505 Helman Street, stated that his main concern is co-existence of agricultural use and new development. His family would like an eight foot fence. They do no want debris in their pasture. They should not suffer because of the development. Street placement is important. They get debris from the Helman School area. ASHLAND PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JULY 13, 1993 10 MEREDITH REYNOLDS, 420 Reiten Drive, explained that debris is a great concern. She has had a number of friends lose animals from ingesting plastic, etc. Farms are noisy and carry odors. When lambs are weaned they make a lot of noise, 24 hours a day. She is concerned that neighbor's domestic animals will disturb their animals. A solid wood fence is critical - eight foot - is important. It also seems that covenants have not always worked well in other places. As the City grows and as Orange Avenue grows, it becomes less desirable to carry on a farm on her parent's land. At some point that property will probably be developed. Armitage wondered about the possibility of an eight foot fence. McLaughlin said the ordinance allows for a six foot fence but a variance could be processed with the subdivision asking for an eight foot fence. DALE LYSNE, 536 Parkside Drive, is not opposed to development, however, wants litter during construction taken care of. The wind will blow any litter to the farm animals. She would like to see something enforced. Contractors should be required to provide dumpsters and emptied at regular intervals. A public walkway was planned at 535 Parkside from the cul-de-sac to Helman Park that has yet to be developed. There is going to be a greater need for that to be completed with 27 homes going in. She would like to require the developer, Bruce Roberts, to get it taken care of. Lysne has agreed and supported Medinger on drainage problems. Carr questioned Staff about the pedestrian path that Lysne referred to and McLaughlin responded that the applicant was required to provide an easement but nothing was spelled out about who is responsible for the path. ROBERT MCCOY, 160 Orange Avenue, prefers Staff Map 1. They have had a neighborhood meeting to discuss neighbors concerns with the developer. McOoy would like to see better use of the land as in Staff Map 1. Instead of single stub bordering Reynolds property, he would like to see a buffer zone provided that has been discussed. He did not know until this meeting that there had been an offer made on Hays property. The neighbors raised $1,000 the night of the neighborhood meeting to make an offer on the property if it hadn't been sold. Raising money shows the concerns of the neighbors. McCoy discussed the centering of Orange Avenue. If they place the street where it is now, it will not impact either side of the street. He is afraid the center of the street will be moved and will ruin some of the work done on the south side of Orange (landscaping, planting, etc.). He believes since the developers will benefit most from paving of the street, they should pay the lions share of paving the street. McCoy would favor a delay to see if the subdividers can work out a common plan. This is an opportunity to make the best use of the property. The ground water is spring water and exists everywhere in that area. ASHLAND PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JULY 13, 1993 11 McLaughlin indicated Staff would be more than willing to work with the applicants to make the best plan for the area. CAROLINE EADIE, 101 Orange Avenue, has two historic trees (osage orange and maple) she would like saved and is concerned about the development of Orange Avenue. She concurs with an eight foot fence. She believes Reynolds should be allowed to have their farm if that is what they want. Eadie preferred Staff Map 1. She would like Orange paved as a first step in development. KEN LARSON, 176 Orange Avenue, said he pumps water year-round out of his basement with a sump pump. His basement is five feet deep. The proposed development is probably five to ten feet below his. He agreed that the Reynolds need at least an eight foot fence. He was aware of a neighbor of his that complained about noise from the Reynolds farm and he lives quite a distance from it. Larson agreed that Orange Avenue needs to be taken care of before the construction phase. He also favors Staff Map 1. He does not like the applicant's pie shaped lots; he prefers the square shape. He favored a half street. CARR MOVED TO CONTINUE THE MEETING TO 11:30 P.M. THE MOTION WAS SECONDED AND APPROVED. McLaughlin read a letter from the Clevengers into the record. DAVID CHASMAR, 468 N. Laurel, derives enjoyment from the Reynolds farm. He supports Reynolds in his desire to buffer their farm from new development. An eight foot fence is a good start. He would like the same on the Laurel side and buffering as well. If homes are allowed to be built ten to 20 feet from house, he will suffocate. He too has a sump pump in his basement. He would like a requirement that houses built around the periphery of the development be one-story and the taller homes centered toward the middle. He is concerned about construction of debris and management of soil contaminants, pesticides, etc. He would ask to be given notification if they are used, so the neighbors can respond. He does not want to be bathed in street lights. Cloer discussed the conflict between farm and residential. He did not believe a fence would be an adequate buffer. McLaughlin added that it has been rare to have this happen within the City. In the County, a solid wood fence has been acceptable. The buffer would be 200 feet the in County. Cloer wondered if there was anything in the Ordinance regarding impact on adjacent properties that construction has to be the same number of stories as surrounding properties. McLaughlin said there was nothing in the Ordinance. ASHLAND PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JULY 13, 1993 12 Armitage speculated about trash and litter and McLaughlin said this would be an enforcement issue and the police would handle on a complaint basis. Bringing this issue up to the developer at this point does help. It could not be made a Condition, however, it is clearly a problem with the building process and subcontractors need to be educated and made aware of the problems they can cause in a neighborhood. DARYL BONIN said that he is a builder and in some cities, the building department will not give an inspection if the job site is not clean. He considers the Reynolds farm being an asset. Why would people buying in this development think differently? The farm already has neighbors around it. He cannot see an eight foot fence stopping the smell of the farm. He would expect the buyers in his development to be considerate neighbors. Again, he said the drainage would be addressed by a civil engineer. These houses will not have basements. Jarvis thought there were a couple of unresolved issues that will constitute a continuance. There needs to be more information with regard to Conservation Housing. Also, during the next month it will provide an opportunity to mitigate some problems with the neighbors. Talk with Dr. Reynolds about the street stub. Also, there might be a plan that could be designed or modified to make a better plan. Jannusch said they were willing to continue. The issues presented to the applicants were: Drainage - how will it tie into the Mountain View drainage system? Fence - buffer between the Reynolds property and the development. Are they agreeable to the covenants? Litter from construction. Paving of Orange - dust control. Placement of Orange. Pesticides. Setbacks - what will they be? Give the neighbors an indication of what is going to happen. CARR MOVED TO CONTINUE THE MEETING TO 11:40 P.M. THE MOTION WAS SECONDED THE MOTION CARRIED. Jannusch mentioned that the buffers on Laurel Street will need to be addressed by the developer of the subdivision to the west. The applicant asked for a 30 day extension. ASHLAND PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JULY 13, 1993 13 COMMISSIONERS DISCUSSION AND MOTION Carr moved to continue this hearing until the August meeting. There will be no limitation on testimony. Cloer seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. OTHER Oregon Planning Institute Commissioners need their reservations in by the next meeting in order to take advantage of the lower rates. Transportation Issues Carole Wheeldon's letter regarding the problems on Oak Street would be better handled at TPAC. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 11:35 p.m. ASHLAND PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JULY 13, 1993 14
