1. Reading by title only of "A Resolution Adopting a NewFee Schedule for the City of Ashland Building
Division Mechanical and Plumbing Inspection Programs."
Community Development Director John McLaughlin explained that these fees have not been raised since the
inception of the program and are currently the lowest in Jackson and Josephine Counties. The raise in fees will cover
expected costs for running the programs, with a small buffer fund built in.
Building Inspector Mike Broomfield explained how fees and expenses are tracked and how the fees do not support
the program. He noted that the contracted services to the City of Talent are at a break-even point. He noted that
medical gases are basically a new job for the plumbing inspectors and fees must be generated to cover costs.

Housing Needs Analysis."
Community Development Director John McLaughlin noted that the documents had been "clean-up" edited for
formal adoption by the Council. No changes to policy or direction have been made. He pointed out two late editing
changes: 1 .) On page 7 of the Action Plan, in reference to the real-estate transfer tax for Washington County,
change ~ of 1% to 1/10 of 1%; and, 2.) On page 9 of the Action Plan, the format of the rates in the table was
changed to follow the format of the rest of the document more consistently.
Heam proposed that the following footnote be added to page 9 of the Action Plan: 1.) Under current Oregon Law
local real-estate transfer taxes are not permitted. The Council issued a resolution requesting the Oregon Legislature
to amend that law.
McLaughlin noted that the proposed footnote language could be added directly to the text of the document.
Jennifer Henderson/321 Clay Street/Supported adoption of the Affordable Housing Action Plan, noting that
adoption of the Resolution puts in writing the City's resolve to make some development affordable.
Concern was expressed that relaxation of landuse laws could adversely affect quality of life. Also that it should be
made clear that when adopting the Action Plan the Council is no necessarily adopting every aspect of the Action
Plan, but rather accepting potential solutions or remedies. It was clarified that the Action Plan does not say, "shall,"
or "will," but says, "should 6onsider," and "recommends."
It was noted that affordable housing involves growth.

Eric Navickas/711 Faith Avenue/Supported the City's position to find ways to support affordable housing. He
noted, however, that this could become a double-edged sword by allowing large tracts of land to be developed that
used to be farmland. He suggested looking to high-density development and offering incentives to promote the
development of affordable housing.
Councilors Hartzeil/Jackson m/s to approve Resolution 018 adopting the Affordable Housing Action Plan and
Housing Needs Analysis including the corrections in the attached memo and language changes regarding the
real-estate transfer taxes. Roll Call Vote: Laws, Morrison, Hartzell, Amarotico, Jackson and Hearn, all
AYES. Motion passed.
PUBLIC FORUM continued:
Fred Caruso/102 Garfield #15/Spoke regarding the methods and materials used in building affordable housing. He
advocated quality over quantity and commented on toxic building syndrome.
Robert McLellan/441 Parkside/Announced a "National Trails Day" event to be held on Saturday, June 7th in
Lithia Park and sponsored by the Ashland Woodlands & Trails Association. He explained that the Association is
working on the building ora trail system around Ashland.
OTHER BUSINESS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS
DeBoer commented on the status of the Senate bill regarding the real-estate transfer tax, and felt that the bill may die
because revenue producing must start at the House. He asked if the Council has direction concerning this. Council
did not give any new direction.
Mayor DeBoer noted the need for two volunteers to serve on a Committee dealing with Citizen discounts.
Councilors Jackson and Morrison volunteered to serve.
Jackson announced the beginning of the Wetlands Inventory project and that notice has gone out to property owners
requesting property access in order to conduct survey work.
Other announcements included notice that the Bicycle and Pedestrian Commission is advertising for new
commissioners and that a Bike Swap is coming up soon.
It was noted that the Housing Needs Analysis and the Affordable Housing Action Plan are on the City website.

Chapman called the meeting to order at 5:01 p.m.
Approval of Minutes
Catron/Nutter m/s to approve the minutes of March 20th, 2003 as presented. Voice vote: All AYES. Motion passed
Public Forum
Tom Boughton, a Southern Oregon University student working on a capstone project dealing with bicycles, transit, and alternative
transportation, sated that he had done some research relative to the Siskiyou Boulevard redesign project, but sated that he was at a
loss relative to city objectives beyond that project.
Chapman discussed the Siskiyou Boulevard redesign, and Harris explained the bicycle component of the city's Transportation System
Plan, as well as the new bike trail along the railroad tracks from Laurel Street to Jackson Road. Harris also cited the Central Ashland
Bikepath and the bicycle plan for the downtown included within the council goals that is in the preliminary sages of development and
that would eventually connect with the redesigned Siskiyou corridor. Chapman noted further work is in store for the north end of
town in the future, and he noted that bike signage is in the works. Chapman explained that the Bear Creek Greenway is in the process
of being extended to North Mountain Park and is eventually planned as a connection all the way to Emigrant Lake. Chapman
concluded that he is also hoping for an eventual bike route connection to the Ditch Trail.
Crosswalk Enforcement
Officer Cook provided members with a copy of statistics, as well as a press release and a Daily Tidings article announcing the 2:00
p.m. crosswalk enforcement action scheduled for April 18th, weather permitting. Cook noted that Nutter and Chapman were
volunteering to assist and would be serving as scribe and videographer. Cook verified that there were no crosswalk violations cited in
March, but he added that this would likely change with Officer Flynn's return and the increased use of motorcycle patrols for traffic
enforcement.
Bike Swap
Chapman questioned whether anyone present was interested in taking charge of this event.
Hartzell suggested asking Lexis Packer, former member of this commission, about the possibility of her returning to the commission
and chairing the Bike Swap. Nutter noted that Ed Mills might also be interested.
Chapman sated that May would be a good time for this event. He suggested that the event should not be held up waiting to find
someone who was interested.
Harris noted that a saffmember at the Grove had expressed some interest, but she sated that she hadn't had further contact.
Commission Vacancies
Chapman sated that he had seen four applications so far for the two openings. Chapman sated that he would continue as chair until
new members were appointed and an election could be held. Harris clarified that a new ad would be in the paper Friday announcing
the vacancies. She added that the vacancies were posted on the city website, and that the deadline to apply is May 2nd. She explained
that the four applications were on file and the applicants were no longer interested.
Bike LMhts
Harris sated that she had nothing to report, beyond the fact that seven lights had been sold at the Police Department and fifteen were
given away as part of Marvin's commuter workshop. Hams sated she would look into statistics relative to light distribution by
officers at bicycle traffic stops.

Combinin.q Commissions
Hams explained that the Traffic Safety Commission (TSC) had asked for a joint study session with commission members and council
liaisons. She added that there was somewhat of a stall in finding a date that worked for everyone.
Hartzell stated that she could work with Morrison to get this going again.
Hams noted that while members were interested in continuing discussion, the TSC was somewhat apprehensive.
Catron suggested a trial combining of the commissions to see how it would work out. Harris explained that combining required an
amendment of the city municipal code.
Chapman suggested that the Bicycle and Pedestrian Commission's members simply appear at the next TSC meeting and bring up this
matter in public forum.
Hartzell suggested that a proposal needed to be prepared and presented, and areas of resistance identified.
Chapman noted that he had attended the meeting where this was discussed before, but he had been unprepared to speak and did not
feel that he had been particularly convincing. Harris added that a lack of members present from this commission may have also been a
factor.
Chapman stated that he would like to see the chairmen of both commissions, staff liaisons, and council liaisons get together for an
informal discussion. He added that evenings or late afternoon would likely be the best time to meet.
Hartzell suggested that the TSC is not totally opposed to this idea, but rather that they recognize issues that may well be valid.
Catron reiterated that a trial combining should be acceptable to all.
Safe Routes to School
Chapman gave background to the guests who were present, and he noted that the Bicycle Transportation Alliance (BTA) had received
a grant to use Ashland as a pilot site for its Safe Routes to School program. He reported that he had received no response from recent
inquiries to BTA relative to the curriculum or the grant.
Chapman pointed out that the Ashland Middle School vice principal wants to have more input in the curriculum, rather than simply
relying on the BTA to provide a program. He emphasized that they would want to be able to be involved in the program development
and that they hope to eventually take over the program. Chapman stated that he was waiting for the hiring of sixth grade P.E. teachers
before pursuing things further in the school. He concluded that he hoped to hear from BTA and go back to the Middle School by
May in order to be prepared to start the program in the fall.
Harris recapped that at the last meeting, members were looking at a meeting with the vice principal, commissioners, teachers and the
BTA. Chapman stated that he was still unsure of meeting timing, but he added that he might also bring Carol Lee Rogers for that
meeting.
Hams pointed out that BTA had received its grant, but she had not heard whether they had hired someone to teach the program. She
stated that she would follow up on this, and find out ifBTA was willing to work with teachers to develop cumculum. Hartzell stated
that the commission could work with BTA and interested teachers to get them working together.
Chapman stated that he would contact Vice Principal John O'Malley about the new P.E. teacher hirings and the other issues discussed
here.
Bike Safety Education
Chapman stated that there was no word from BTA other than that Doug Staples had been hired to teach bike education for BTA and
RVTD. He added that Staples and Rogers were approaching Helman and Bellview schools to schedule classes. Chapman questioned
where Briscoe might fit in. Chapman suggested that a link needed to be formed between Rogers, Staples, Reynolds, and the Briscoe
P.E. teacher who was interested in the program (Pam?). Catron noted that a call for volunteers went out in the city's utility billing
inserts.
2003-0417_Bike Min.doc Page 2of3
Si~na~e
Harris stated that she had no report.
New Business
Chapman noted that he had been invited to attend the transportation segment of the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Public
Advisory. Barnes explained that Ashland was a new MPO member based on the most recent census results. He added that the MPO
decides on funding of transportation projects and needs citizen involvement. Chapman went on to note that there was a policy group,
a technical advisory group, and the public advisory. Chapman suggested that others with an interest-ghould apply for appointment and
he added that meetings were bi-monthly. Harris noted that she and Pieter Smeenk from Public Works/Engineering were involved in
the technical advisory group.
Hartzell suggested using the RVTV commission spotlight program with Ann Seltzer to publicize the work of this conunission.
Harris noted an upcoming conference she would be attending. Barnes confirmed that RVTD would be sending staff as well.
Hartzell thanked Spear for her contribution in serving on the commission, and members expressed their sorrow in seeing her depart.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:05 P.M.

ASHLAND HOUSING COMMISSION
MINUTES
APRIL 23, 2003
CALL TO ORDER
Chair Andy Dungan called the meeting to order at 4:00 p.m_ Other Commissioners present were Richard Seidman, Larry
Medinger, Chris Oswald, Joan Legg, Kim Blackwolf, Kim Miller, and Jon Uto. Cate Hartzell ar~,ed at 4:15 p.m. There were
no absent members. Staffpresent were Bill Molnar and Sue Yates.
APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES - Blackwolf moved to approve the March 19, 2003 minutes. Legg seconded the motion and the
minutes were approved.
PUBLIC FORUM
AARON BENJAMIN said he hoped the Commission would continue to be concerned with inclusionary zoning. He suggested any
proposal for large development should be put under a microscope and bring pressure to bear to create affordable housing.
Medinger wondered if the Housing Commission could be brought in at the pre-application stage. Molnar said there would
need to be some specific parameters for that to happen. There are no mandatory requirements for affordable housing.
Medinger suggested looking at it from the side of the Comprehensive Plan and Statewide Planning Goals. These two
documents require the building of all housing types. Molnar said they were hoping to have the Housing Coordinator look at
changing the requirements of certain zones, for example, in multi-family zones, it would be much more discretionary if
someone wanted to build for ownership, rather than building to rent.
Dungan thought it would be helpful if the Commission could be involved in order to use the "power of suggestion" to an
applicant. If an applicant knew the Housing Commission would be reviewing their proposal in the early stage, the applicant
might give more thought to affordable housing.
Blackwolfcommented this might also be a way to catch any houses slated for demolition that could be saved.
Uto left the meeting.
The Commission asked that this item (Informing the Housing Commission at the Pre-Application Stage) be put on next month's
agenda.
RICH ROHDE, Oregon Action, handed out a draft revision to SB863 put together by the Oregon Coalition for Complete
Communities. If implemented, this would set a pilot project in Ashland and Portland. This has been strongly supported by
Bob Repine, Oregon Homing and Community Services Dept. The money could begin flowing in two years. Rohde said they
would be counting votes in the Senate soon. He was hoping to get some people together for a conference call to the state.
Medinger, Hartzell and Miller said they would be willing.
MAY 15TH ACLT ANNUAL MEETING/HOUSING FORUM
Oswald handed out the draft packet that will be handed out to guests on the 15th.
Hartzell was hoping to have breakout groups for various categories of activities of interest. She would like to see the
Commission serve to expand volunteerism and put people into work groups. This is an opportunity for the Commission to get
people fired up..The idea is to make this Commission functional. The Question and Answer time could be shortened up to
make time for the breakout groups.
Miller does not like the idea of having topic groups with no place to go. Hartzell said we could follow the Action Plan items.
Dungan asked everyone on the Commission to be present at the forum. He and Seidman would work out how and when to
present the opportunity for the breakout groups to form.
Oswald passed out the flyers with the meeting information.
Seidman expressed his appreciation for Oswald taking the lead on this. He was hoping the Q & A portion would not just be a
time to debate the issue of affordable housing.
Note: Oswald will be leaving town at the end of this week and Dungan will be taking over with the forum organization.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING GUIDELINES
Blackwolf wondered why the guidelines are not being used more than they are. We need to consider changing the formula to
more accurately reflect real purchase prices and income levels. Medinger agreed that the structure is outdated. It was last used
about four years ago. The income limits and asset levels don't work. There needs to be more flexibility.
Molnar said they are looking at formulas that might be more appropriate, however, this is a more complex issue than it may
seem. Also, politically, some may not like deferring SDC's on a house selling for upwards of $1~,000. He felt it would be
advisable to meet with builders and the Commissioners. He added that there has been some interest in building more cottage-
style homes.
Hartzell suggested a small group meet regularly and start a list of the land use pieces for affordable housing. The Land Use
Subcommittee will consist of Klm Blackwolf, Cate Hartzell, Joan Legg, Larry Medinger, and Evian Distefano.
SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS & ASSIGNMENTS
The Land Use Subcommittee was just formed.
Dungan announced there would be a meeting of the Housing Coalition on May 6th. There will also be a meeting of the
Council on May 6th and Mary Brooks will be speaking.
RESPONSE TO BUDGET COMMITTEE
Hartzell had received a letter from a woman on the Budget Committee questioning the expenditure for a Housing Coordinator.
How do we want to approach this? She said the Council and Budget Committee would be meeting Saturday from 8 a.m. until
2 p.m. and possibly again the following week at the same time to discuss the budget.
It was decided that everyone on the Commission would e-mail their two best arguments for having a Housing Coordinator to
Kim Miller and he would in mm compile the responses and draft a cover letter that he would then send to Dnngan for his
signature. Hartzell would get a copy. The letter will be given to Lee Tnneberg, Finance Director.
HOUSING COORDINATOR POSITION
Dungan said he understood there are nine candidates for the position. He was asked by John McLaughlin to be on the
interview committee.
There was a general disappointment among the Commissioners that their wishes and recommendations were disregarded and
not acknowledged by Staff. They had voted to have Kim Blackwolf and Cate Hartzell represent the Housing Commission
during the interview process. Molnar said they would have to check with McLaughlin to see how he came to his decision. He
said he thought the interview committee would be: Andy Dungan, John McLaughlin, Dick Wanderscbeid, and Tina Gray.
Cindy Dyer.was asked but he did not think the dates would work for her. He thought there would be a fifth person chosen from
outside the City. The interviews are tentatively scheduled for May 1st and 2nd.
Everyone expressed their satisfaction with Dungan serving on the interview committee. Medinger felt that this is mining into a
Planning Department hire. Since the Coordinator will specifically interact with this Commission, more people from the
Commission should be involved in the process.
Hartzell was happier knowing they would be asking a Housing Specialist from the outside to help interview.
Seidman wanted to convey to McLaughlin the positive benefit of having women on the interview committee.
Dungan will call McLaughlin with some of these concerns and Molnar will also speak with McLaughlin.
Henderson inserted that she talked with the Mayor and he said this is a temporary position and he would see that it stayed
temporary.
Molnar left the meeting.
ASHLAND HOUSING COMMISSION
MINUTES
APRIL 23, 2O03
Miller thought it was important that those interviewing for the position would at least see a presence of Commissioners, even if
it was a "silent" presence.
Dungan suggested asking McLaughlin to attend the next Housing Commission meeting (agenda item). They would like to
have McLaughlin discuss the following issues: 1) Role of the Housing Commission, 2) the process that was used to interview,
3) the gender issue in the interview process, 4) what is the schedule for the Action Plan, and 5) who is working on it.
MEETING PLACE
Most of the members felt parking in the park/downtown area would make it difficult to meet in the Community Development
and Engineering Services Building. It was moved and seconded to meet at the CD & ES building-in May and move back to the
Council Chambers for the months of June, July and August.
OTHER
Dungan thanked Seidman for all the work he has done while on the Commission and how very much he will be missed.
Seidman thanked the Commission for their energy and enthusiasm in making progress toward affordable housing.

TI-EMS FOR DISCUSSION:
A. PUBLIC FORUM TI-EMS:
1. Introduction of New Commissioner Terry Doyle.
2. Pedestrian Enforcement Opportunities
Ashland Police Department will be conducting a pedestrian enforcement operation once
a month for the next 6 months! There will be tons of press.
B. REVIEW OF TRAFFIC REQUESTS / PROJECTS PENDING/ACT[ON REQUIRED
1. Request for Stop Sign Installation at Mountain Meadows & Fair Oaks Drive
David Rothstein, representing Mountain Meadows Community, requested a stop sign and crosswalk
markings be installed on Fair Oaks Drive at Mountain Meadows Drive.
Fair Oaks Drive and Mountain Meadows Drive are local residential streets that provide nearly exclusive
use in the Retirement Community. Traffic volumes are less than 500 VPD with no accident history. A
turn movement study and intersection analysis determined that traffic moved smoothly and safely
through the intersection. The only noted defect was the unofficial use of an empty lot as a parking lot.
Handicap access ramps at the southwest and northwest corners are being used for vehicular access.
Access to and from this lot is through the intersection and adds additional and unsafe turn movements.
The loop driveway serving the club house and condominiums is very close to the intersection but will
likely remain in its present location at the north and south sides of the intersection. There remains two
vacant lots on Mountain Meadows also being used for parking that currently have no sidewalks.
Warrants are not met for the installation of stop signs on either street. A stop sign was authorized at
Fair Oaks and N. Mountain Avenue primarily because of the high traffic volume on N. Mountain Avenue
and the site obstructions imposed by the street profile. The intersection of Fair Oaks and Mountain
Meadows does not have problems that would be improved by a stop sign.
The creation of marked crosswalks is always carefully considered and used only where a definite need
exists and where additional traffic control devices are installed such as a stop sign, traffic light or
beacon. The crosswalks should reflect a definite and anticipated connection on each side of the street.
Since the sidewalks are not complete on Mountain Meadows, this condition lacks.
Staff recommends the following actions be considered to help improve intersection safety:
1. Parking in the unfinished courtyard area should be discontinued. Using this area as a parking
lot decreases intersection visibility and adds two additional accesses into the intersection.
2. Crosswalk markings be delayed until the sidewalk on the east side of Mountain Meadows is
constructed, at that time revisit the issue.
Warrants are not met for the installation of a stop sign on Fair Oaks Drive. However, staff
recognizes the special needs and limited use of this intersection. Because of the nature and
direction of the streets the traffic is nearly exclusively Mountain Meadows Community oriented.
\\COMPAQl\DATA\GOV~pub-wrks\eng\dept~admin\TRAFV~41NUTES~003~pril 24 03.doc Page 1 of 5
Staff would approve installing a stop sign if the IVlountain Meadows Community funded the cost
of installation, about $250.
Discussion'
Chapman asked in horse shoe area because it forces pedestrians to cross in the intersection. It should
be dealt with. IVlassie would you make it a condition to not install the crosswalk until the sidewalk
connections are complete. Olson will use this for leverage for the stop sign approval.
Decision:
Snell motioned to accept staff recommendation to require parking lot to be closed to parking because
of visibility issue and to construct sidewalks along sidewalks along east side of Mountain IVleadows at
which time the IVlountain IVleadows community can fund the installation of stop signs and crosswalk
markings at Fair Oaks and Mountain IVleadows Drive. Notion seconded by Chapman, vote passed
unanimously. IVlannion asked staff if the IVlountain Meadows Community had plans to provide a public
parking area, Olson was not sure.
2. Request for Crosswalk iVlarkings at Oak and A Streets
Ed Bemis, A Street IVlarketplace co-developer, requested crosswalk markings across Oak Street near
the A Street intersection and across A Street to aid pedestrian access.
Oak Street is one of the City's busier arterials with over 4500 VPD. The area just south of the railroad
is not very pedestrian nor driver friendly. In an area less than 150 feet long A Street enters from the
east, Van Ness Avenue enters from the west, Oak Street angles right about 22 degrees and traffic is
stopped at the railroad. In this short area there are twelve separate possible turn movements that can
be made resulting in twelve potential impact points per vehicle. The existence of residential driveways
and on-street parking further complicates this intersection.
Given the intersection geometry, it appears that there is no safe location for a crosswalk across Oak
Street. There are too many possible turn movements, and too high a traffic volume to provide a safe
pedestrian crossing in this location. A Street however does have an obvious crosswalk location with a
proven destination and need.
Staff recommends that standard crosswalk markings be installed across A Street as shown on the
enclosed drawing. Staff further recommends that no crosswalk be marked across Oak Street.
Discussion:
Chapman asked why the cross on Oak was so opposed. Olson feels the lack of a clear stopping area
would create confusion to an already confusing area creating a more unsafe situation.
Doyle asked if a textured crosswalk or another type of crosswalk could be considered. Staff has no
objections to them except for their cost and that there is no hard data to how effective they are. Staff
could also consider curb bump-outs in the same location with a cost estimate of about $2,000 to
$3,000. IVlassie asked if a pedestrian count could be taken in this area. The bikepath outlet will also
be continued down to Oak Street.
Decision:
Snell moved to accept staff's recommendation to deny the request for a crosswalk across Oak Street,
but to mark a crosswalk across A Street. Seconded by Mannion and passed unanimously.
3. Request to Establish Loading Zones on Helman and Randy Streets
Barbara Fields, Helman Elementary School Principal requests establishment of loading zones on Randy
Street and possibly on Helman Street to accommodate anticipated additional bus and passenger vehicle
traffic next school year.
\\COMPAQl\DATA\GOV~pub-wrks\eng\dept-admin\TRAFV,41NUTESk2003V~pril 24 03.doc Page 2 of 5
With the scheduled closure of Briscoe School next year, it is expected that additional bus routes will be
added to transport former Briscoe students to Helman School. ]:n addition, many more parents will be
dropping off and picking-up their children at Helman School.
The Ashland School's Transportation Director indicated the bus loading at Helman School will remain as
it is currently even with additional buses. Currently buses load and unload at the interior sidewalk
directly in front of the office. This requires that the buses enter the front parking lot from Helman
Street and exit at the south end of the lot. Although the entrance to the lot is difficult for the buses to
negotiate it is by far the safest option for the children. This location puts the children directly onto the
sidewalk at the school and does not require crossing the street or parking lot.
Providing a 15 minute loading zone on Helman and Randy Streets for parents dropping off children was
also discussed. Unfortunately both locations require students to cross parking lots to enter the school.
The Helman Street location would be much more hazardous as it is a much busier driveway, a larger
parking lot and has the additional conflict with bus loading and unloading. The Randy Street location
also crosses a parking lot, but it is much smaller and less used.
Staff recommends two fifteen minute parking spaces be established on Randy Street between the
entrance to the parking lot for use by parents dropping off children. The limitation could be in effect
weekdays from 8:00 AlVi to 5:00 PM.
Discussion:
IVlany commissioners visited this site. Staff revised their recommendation to increase the number of 15
minute parking areas from two to four. Commission discussed other options but the areas where a
child would not nee to cross a parking lot or a vehicle path were limited. The changing of these four
spaces will take long term parking from the neighborhood, but the parking spaces are not heavily
parked. Chapman would like to have the parking lot redesigned to only have one access. The east
entrance could be closed. Staff looked at this but felt it would make the maneuvering within the lot too
difficult. Chapman also witnessed the bus loading zones being used extensively by parents unloading
their children, l~f children are dropped off at the Randy curb there would need to be a stair case built
into the retaining wall and then the students would still need to cross the bus loading zone.
Decision:
Snell moved to accept Staff's recommendation to designate four parking spaces on Randy Street as 15
minute parking on weekdays from 8:00 AM to 5 PlVl. Seconded by IVlannion and passed unanimously.
Olson will talk further with Fields regarding the parking lot issues.
4. Request to Establish Bike Lanes on N. IVlountain Avenue
William Holmes sent a letter to the Planning Department complimenting the City on the installation of
sidewalks on Mountain Avenue and further suggesting that bike lanes be added as well.
N. IVlountain Avenue from Little Village Drive northerly was designed to accommodate bikelanes on
both sides. Completion of Riverwalk Subdivision later this summer will complete bikelanes nearly
continuously from Fair Oaks to Village Green Drive. Only a small section on the west side of N.
Mountain Avenue north of Bear Creek remains undeveloped.
Several bike generators exist in the area including N. IVlountain Park, the Bear Creek trail system (under
development), the Riverwalk Subdivision wetlands and open spaces, and the bikelane connection to
Hersey Street to the Central Ashland Bikepath. Maria Harris indicated the Bike and Pedestrian
Commission advocates the creation of bikelanes on this section of N. IVlountain.
\\COMPAQ l\DATA\GOV~pub-wrks\eng\dept-ad m in\TRAF'gVII N UTES~003'v~pril 24 03.doc Page 3 of 5
The section of N. Mountain Avenue between E. Main Street and Village Green Drive is 36 feet wide and
currently designated with two 8 foot wide parking lanes and two 10 foot wide travel lanes. To install
bike lanes on this section requires removal of parking on one or both sides of the street. The removal
extent is dependent upon the neighborhood and on street conditions. N. Mountain is classified as an
Avenue under our current classification system (formerly arterial street). Under the 1999 City Street
Design Handbook an avenue is required to have two 10 to 10.5 foot wide travel lanes and two 6 foot
bike lanes with parking provided in 8 to 9 foot wide bays. Of course these standards are primarily for
new construction and sometimes compromises are required to retro-fit existing streets.
It may be possible to reduce all lane widths similar to what was done on Walker Avenue and still
maintain parking on one side of the street. The following lane configuration may be possible:l)
Parking lane - 7 feet wide; 2) Bike lane - 5 foot wide; 3)Travel lane - 9.5 feet wide; 4) Travel lane -9.5
feet wide; 5) Bike lane - 5 feet wide; Total 36 feet.
These widths are below standards but might be considered in some circumstances. The alternative to
this is to remove parking entirely. If the Commission wishes to pursue this issue it will be necessary to
solicit public comment and review. This matter could be discussed further at the May meeting.
Discussion:
The bicycle generators will increase with the addition of the Riverwalk Subdivision and included parks
areas. The travel lanes would be narrowed to 9 1/2 feet which is very narrow. The neighborhood will
be noticed and invited to next month's meeting. Doyle commented that there is a lot of parking in the
Mountain area. Olson said if bike lanes were added on only one side that the loss of parking would be
because bicycles travel can not oppose the flow of traffic. It is illegal and we can't create an illegal
situation.
Decision'
Chapman motioned for commission to consider options on parking removal and addition of bikelanes to
be brought back next month. Staff will notice the neighborhood for their input. Seconded by Doyle,
passed unanimously.
5. Sidewalk Needs Inventory- Proposed Sidewalk Construction Priority List
Massie has compiled a list and prioritized the sidewalks brought to him by the commissions. The list
followed the priorities of safety, nearness of schools, nearness of public areas and pedestrian usage.
Olson would like the commission to look over this list and help find areas that have been neglected or
need to have their priorities changed. Funds for these areas will be included as part of the Capital
Improvements Projects or if eligible for the CBDG monies. Mannion asked Massie to consider Walker
Street between Oregon and Francis. Chapman asked if the railroad crossing on Hersey and other
railroad crossings could be added. Olson informed the Commission that HDR Engineering has been
contracted to help evaluate the safety of railroad crossings in various locations throughout Ashland. A
priority list will be prepared and Olson will bring it to the commission. Chapman asked if when a
building is proposed does the City require pedestrian improvements in the adjacent areas. Olson
commented that improvements are usually applied to the directly connecting property but not to
intersections or further. Offsite improvements are very hard to enforce and justify.
Decision'
Commission will read over the list provided by Massie and respond to him before the next
meeting to relay any changes or additions.
C. Follow-Up On Previous Actions: None
D. Goals: Staff will be reviewing and updating the spreadsheet to make it easier to determine
what has been accomplished already.

ASHLAND HISTORIC COMMISSION
Minutes
May 7, 2003
CALL TO ORDER
At 7:05 p.m., Chairperson Dale Shostrom called the meeting to order in the Sis__k_iyou Room, located in the
Community Development/Engineering Services Building at 51 Winbum Way. In addition to Shostrom, members
present were Terry Skibby, Keith Chambers, Alex Krach and Sam Whitford. Also present were Associate Planner
Mark Knox, Council Liaison John Mordson and Secretary Sonja Akerman. Members Jay Leighton, Tom Giordano,
Joanne Krippaehne and Rob Saladoff were unable to attend.
INTRODUCTION OF NEW MEMBERS
Knox introduced new members Alex Krach and Sam Whitford to the Commission.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Chambers moved and Skibby seconded to approve the Apdl 2, 2003 minutes as submitted. The motion passed
with a unanimous vote.
PUBLIC HEARING
Planning Action 2003-045
Site Review
230/232 VanNess Avenue
Serin Eggling and Sherri Morgan
Knox reported the applicants are proposing to build a third residential unit that will be attached to the existing
duplex. The new unit will replace the existing garage/storage building and will be built on the same footprint with
an additional 34 square feet. It will be connected to the existing duplex by a roof. The existing house was built in
1948 and will not be altered. The parking area that will be paved was a concern for Staff because of the potential
impact the paving would have on the histodc resources of the area. However, a reciprocal easement with the
adjacent neighbor was granted to allow common use access since the driveways are contiguous. This will cut down
on the amount of paving required while also allowing adequate parking on the site. In Staff's opinion, the application
is acceptable
Shostrom opened the public headng and it was noted there was no one in the audience to speak on behalf of the
applicants.
The Commission remarked the north elevation of the existing house was not drawn accurately. Shostrom stated
the elevations of the existing house and the proposed unit depict similar siding. In reality, the existing building is
block. He also wondered why a more similar design to the existing house was not chosen. The existing house has
a gable roof and the proposed unit has a hipped roof. He also said he would rather see a design for the new unit
that mimics what is already existing rather than introduce another style for the cottage.
Whitford asked if it is typical for the applicant or owner to come to the meetings. He was told the applicants and
designers/architects are made aware the planning actions before the Historic Commission meetings are considered
to be public hearings. Most often someone will attend the meeting to represent the applicant(s).
Chambers moved to recommend the Headngs Board call this action up for a public headng based on the following:
· There were not enough details submitted for the proposed unit.
Ashland Historic Commission Minutes
May 5, 2003
CITY OF
-ASHLAND
· The Histodc Commission would like to talk to the applicants about the design of the proposed unit.
· There are concerns about the compatibility of the proposed unit with the existing building.
· The drawings that were submitted are not accurate and specific materials were not stated.
· There was not a clear sense of what is being proposed for the existing house.
· The roof style proposed for the new unit is not compatible with the roof style of the existing house. The
Commission would like to see a more similar style.
In discussing this motion, all the members felt the above concerns could best be addressed through a public
hearing. Skibby seconded the motion and it passed with a unanimous vote. ___
Planning Action 2003-035
Conditional Use Permit and Site Review
665 East Main Street
E. Kirk McAIlister
For the benefit of the new members, Knox reviewed the reasons for requesting this proposal be called up for a
public headng last month. The Heatings Board agreed with the Histodc Commission; therefore it will be heard again
by the Histodc Commission and will then go before the Planning Commission. Knox also stated the applicant was
not present last month, but has since done quite a lot of research and met with the Review Board.
Applicant Kirk McAIlister stated he had met with Brad Roupp, a local contractor who has restored and moved
several structures in Ashland. He has also viewed old Sanbom maps to ascertain when the abutment was added
to the odginal outbuilding. Additionally, he conducted a research and concluded the market for renting out a single
room was not as high as he had originally thought. McAIlister said that for now, he is changing his application in
order to get approval for a one-unit traveler's accommodation with a garage. He will leave the outbuilding as it is
with the exception of removing the abutment (which was added some time after 1928) and it will serve as the
garage. Also, by removing the abutment, it will allow for another parking space. Although this will decrease the size
of the building to less than 500 square feet, McAIlister assured the Commission it is not his intention to demolish
it. The side of the outbuilding with the currently existing abutment will be re-sided once the abutment is removed.
Other than that, he will leave the building as it is for the time being.
Whitford asked if there will be exterior changes to the existing house and McAIlister responded a bathroom will be
added within the interior, but no extedor changes are planned.
Skibby asked if the alley would need to be paved. Knox replied it is the policy of Staff and the City Council to require
that certain alleys be paved, including those where residential and commercial areas abut.
Shostrom said he was still concemed with the removal of the abutment and asked if it was necessary. Knox stated
a five-foot buffer is required between all parking facilities and the adjacent property in a commercial zone.
Therefore, it will be necessary to remove it. Shostrom asked what type of siding will be used on the area left after
the abutment is removed and McAIlister responded he will remove the siding from the abutment with care and
possibly be able to use that, although it is slightly different than the odginal building. Shostrom stated there are also
ways to age new siding that could work for him.
McAIlister stated there is a possibility that the building will be remodeled in the future. It was the consensus of the
members that by completely remodeling the interior, it could be a nice addition to his traveler's accommodation.
Shostrom added the Historic Commission promotes the art of preservation and realizes it will cost more overall than
starting from scratch, so the members greatly appreciate the efforts McAIlister is making to retain the building.
McAIlister said he is unsure how rentable the building would be as another unit if it looks like an old outbuilding on
the outside. The Commission felt that if the outbuilding were to be upgraded and used as another unit, it could be
very charming, but agreed it would be best to make sure photos of the inside be used in all marketing.
Knox informed the Commission that if the applicant does decide to demolish the building (even though it will be less
than 500 square feet), the applicant would have to come back before the Histodc and Planning Commissions
Ashland Historic Coiim~ission Minutes
May 5, 2003
CITY OF
-ASHLAND
because he would be modifying the site. He also noted that Building Official Mike Broomfield has agreed to run all
demolition applications that look historic by the Commission.
Knox then asked the members about the prospect of paint for the building and the consensus was to keep it rustic
to retain its charm. It should be protected, but not with paint.
Skibby moved to recommend approval of the application to the Hearings Board based on the following:
· The one-unit traveler's accommodation will be located in the existing house.
· The small outbuilding will be retained except for the small abutment on the west side.
· The siding on the outbuilding be retained in its natural condition.
· The replacement siding on the west side of the outbuilding match the existing siding as close as possible.
· The alley not be paved.
Whitford seconded the motion and it passed with a unanimous vote.

NEW BUSINESS:
House Size Limitation - Knox reported this subject is still alive. Common numbers are being compiled for new
homes and additions in the historic districts. It should be on the agenda for the Planning Commission Study Session
on May 27.
ITEMS NOT ON AGENDA:
Modification of Approved Plans for 542 "A" Street - Architect Jerome White stated ~ was soliciting feedback as
a favor to a friend who is considering buying 542 "A" Street. (He noted he will not be the architect involved with this
project.) Plans were approved by the Planning Commission last year to renovate and add on to the building. Since
that time, the building has been put up for sale. White said the front would be renovated as was already approved.
The rear, however, would have some revisions. The existing porch on the building would be enclosed and used
as a bathroom. The catwalk would not be built, as the existing shed would remain one story and be moved back
to maintain the look of a shed and become a storage area for wine. This will also allow for more of a courtyard
behind the building. The Commission agreed the changes would be positive and suggested White encourage his
fdend to buy the property.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Knox related that Dave Skilton, Tax Incentives Coordinator for the State Histodc Preservation Office, would like to
hold a June workshop in Ashland on restoration, rehabilitation and maintenance. A tentative date has been set for
June 20. This would be in lieu of the upcoming bi-monthly brown bag workshop sponsored by the Historic
Commissions of Ashland and Jacksonville.

PUBLIC FORUM: Eric Navickas voiced his concern that at Public Workshop II
he was not allowed to finish his comments which come from sound scientific
grounds. He wanted to say that a Forest Service project 8 or 9 years ago removed
8 million board feet of timer for fuels reduction. He said there was a 50-year
history of removing timber in the Ashland Watershed.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION:
A. Nomination and Vote on Forest Lands Commission Chair and Vice Chair -
Eggers motioned to table this item until later in the meeting. Jensen
seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Bo
Discussion of Public Comments on City Forest Lands Restoration Project -
Robertson thought it best to accept the public comments and have them
available for public review. Crosson disagreed with this approach stating that
the commission had emphasized the need for public input. The commission
owes the public acknowledgement and commission scrutiny. Eggers agreed.
Jensen especially valued the input of the SOU students. Robertson asked the
commission to reread all the comments and compile topics in need of further
discussion. The topics will be discussed at the next meeting.
C°
Set City Council Public Heating Date - Robertson thought the commission
should work backwards (with Main's assistance) in order to be on the ground
by next winter. Main said the field work will take the summer. He sees
major differences between the lower parcel and Winbum. He thought
management of the two parcels could be separated. The lower parcel is in
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP~MAY 14.doe
rapid decline. In addition, this would allow more careful consideration of
Winbum. He will have info on the lower parcel in July or August. He will
have give additional detail at the next meeting and emphasized the need for
more commission and public field trips.
Jensen would like all City Councilors to attend at least one field trip. He
commented on the lack of pubic input citing several posCble explanations:
few people care, poor public relations, the proposal was well done enough
that people were comfortable with it. Eggers added a cultural explanation:
"What do I have to offer"? "Let the experts do it." Liz suggested that people
were distracted by recent news events.
Brock joined the meeting at 5:00 PM.
Robertson suggested forming a subcommittee to contact a wide variety of
special interest groups and set up specialized field trips. Jensen, Crosson and
Robertson volunteered. Navickas, reading the Forest Plan, would like a field
trip to the quarry.
Commission set fields trips for the second Tuesday in June, July and August
(June l0th, July 8th, August 12th) from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. In addition, one
Saturday a month will be designated for tentative specialized field trips.
Main will check his calendar for available dates.
Potential Commission Comment on the Mount Ashland Expansion - This
agenda item is at Crosson's request. Looking at the commission's charter,
she sees the possibility of the City Council asking for a recommendation.
Robertson sees the commission busy with finalizing the Restoration Project.
The commission asked Slocum to email Councilor Heam for his opinion.
The commission noted they would need a two to three month lead time to
make a comment. Eggers noted that the goals and priorities used for the
proposal would be the same/for a commission Comment.
Brock said that the Memorandum of Understanding with the Forest Service
allows the City "full consideration" of any work done in the watershed.
Commission decided the set the public hearing date for August providing
Main would be ready.
Nomination of Vote on Forest Lands Commission Chair and Vice Chair-
Robertson has been Chair of the commission since its inception in 1992. As
the commission is in the middle of a large project, Betlejewski nominated
Robertson to continue as Chair. Motioned died for a lack of second. Brock
nominated Crosson as Chair, but the motion was withdrawn. Eggers
nominated Crosson as Chair and Jensen as Vice-Chair, Brock seconded the
motion. Vote was 3-3 and therefore failed. Crosson motioned to table this
agenda item until the next meeting when all the commissioners were in

The following is a brief summary regarding the Elks sponsored Americanism school essay contest for
2002-2003. Theme "What Does Freedom Mean to Me?"
In early January, essay contest forms were passed out to all the local schools and schools in the SW District
thththth
from Elk Lodges. There were two categories: Division 1 (5 & 6 grades) and Division 2 (7 & 8
grades). The top three winners in each category were then sent on for the state finals.
Ashland Elks Lodge placed two in the top three categories for State, Jessie Stanton placed first in State in
Division 2 and Clara Fain placed second in Division 1. Both essays were then submitted for the National
Contest.
Jessie's essay went on to win first place in the National Contest. Our Ashland Elks Lodge is proud of the
youth in our community and honored to have two youths in our community write such outstanding essays.
Jessie Stanton's Essay
th
(Jessie is in 7 grade, and is home schooled with the assistance of the Willow Wind Community Learning
Center.
To go beyond dreams and pursue their birth, to comprehend each person's life as a separate entity, these are
two qualities of freedom - a word with unending and undying definitions, reflective of the hopes it inspires.
Its message resides within each of use, yearning to be heard. Even when suppressed by dictatorial or
communistic powers, it finds ways to continue. From the passion of Patrick Henry to the vision of Martin
Luther King Jr., someone always comes forward in times of adversity bearing the message of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
For centuries America has been the stronghold for "freedom's government," democracy. A haven for the
persecuted, it has shown many people a personal definition of freedom and how mercy is more powerful
than hatred.
One reason free nations remain great is their citizens understand freedom's worth. We in America realize
liberty comes at a price, and the only way to remain free is to stand behind our flag.
Freedom is the essence of hope, and without hope we are lost. Therefore, if freedom brings about war, let
us fight; if peace, let us rejoice. For although peace is a blessing, without war, free nations would not exist.

Community Hospital and to give you some background about myself.
I will give you a very brief background about my schooling & work history. As a child, I
lived in Europe for 5 years and attended French & Italian schools. When I went to
college, I continued with my studies in languages and have a B.A. in Romance
Languages and an M.A. in French Literature. I set up & ran a language lab at Tuffs
University for 10 years and taught elementary Italian. In the course of teaching I found
students who couldn't write an essay, so I went back to school to become a pre-school
Montessori teacher. I followed that profession for about 5 years and then discovered the
wonderful world of Nursing Facilities. I started in the Dietary Department & learned
every position. I went back to school, again, & became a Certified Dietary Manager. I
held that position in two different facilities, over the course of 11 years. Then, in 1993, I
went back to school one more time and became a Nursing Home Administrator. I was
the Assistant Administrator at Three Fountains in Medford for 4 & ~/~ years and have
been the Administrator at Linda Vista since August 1998.
In the community, I have been a Rotarian since April of 1994--with a year & 1/2 LOA. I
held the position of Secretary, Board member & President in the North Medford Rotary
Club. I will be on the Ashland Rotary Club Board for 2003-2005. I've been on the
Administrative Council at our Church. I am the Secretary of the Disabilities Recreation
Project Board.
With regard to reasons I would like to be a part of the Ashland Community Hospital
Board, here are a few. Over the 20 years that I have worked in nursing facilities, I have
seen many changes. One of the changes is in the close relationship that has developed
with acute care hospitals. I feel that Linda Vista and ACH have been able to develop a
very close connection and my being on the Board would allow me to act as liaison to
improve our systems & communication. I feel that many changes in healthcare as a
whole and in each of our settings are still to come and I would like to be able to ensure
the quality and continuity of care that we provide in both settings. I am very honored that
you considered me to be a part of your Board and I look forward to being able to give
back to the Community through participation of your Board.
Thank you again for asking me. I look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Helen F. Smith

Dear Jean,
As I mentioned to you last week during our phone conversation I am honored to be
considered for a position as a member of the Board of Trustees of Ashland
Community Hospital.
I am very much a believer in the idea that as citizens one has an obligation to give
something back to one's community. As you can see from my attached brief vita,
during my many years in Adzona I was a very active and engaged member of a
number of local and state organizations. I am especially proud of the time I spent
as the chair of the social health committee of the Flagstaff School District. I also
look back with a great deal of satisfaction at my membership (gubernatorial
appointment) and chair of Arizona's Department of Economic Security Advisory
Council.
Judee and I returned to Oregon in 1995 when I accepted a position as an academic
dean here at Southern Oregon University. Now that I am semi-retired after a very
busy but quite rewarding time here at SOU as dean of two schools and interim
provost, I now ready to give some of my time and energy back to our local
community.
I believe in the mission, values and vision of Ashland Community Hospital. As a
historian I especially enjoyed reading and learning more about the early history of
our hospital in Kay Atwood's Ashland Community Hospital: A Century of Chanq.e.
Finally, on a very personal note, after being a patient at Ashland Community Hospital
for two eye surgeries (Dr. William Rodden) I can attest to the very professional care
given to me by the staff at the hospital.
I will be most happy to provide any additional information.
Sincerely,
Neil Kunze

Bio for Steven J. Miner, Ashland, OR
I have spent the last 5 years as Director of Research and Development for Key Technology (V.P
of Engineering of SRC Vision, pre-merger). Key Technology is an $80M world-wide supplier of
machine vision and factory automation equipment. As a member of the five-person executive
staff} I am responsible for helping direct the activities of the company as well as having direct
responsibility for some 50 engineering staff located in Medtbrd, Oregon andWalla Walla, WA.
Prior to joining Key Technology, I spent 18 years in engineering and sales in the semiconductor
industry in New England. I co-founded three successful companies: Kerr Energy Systems
(industrial power monitoring); Quartet Technology (voice operated environmental control); and
Express Electronics (semiconductor parts broker). In these businesses, I operated in various
capacities in design and executive management in manufacturing, sales, marketing and
operations.
I graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1979 with a degree in Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science and minors in Economics and Philosophy. I have academic
and design experience in Electrical, Software, Mechanical, Ocean, and Nuclear Engineering.
My wife and I spent two years researching small towns on the west coast, scouted Ashland out in
1995 and finally moved here in 1997 with our three sons (now ages 13, 14 and 17). We are
trying to become more active in the community (one of the reasons this opportunity with
Ashland Community Hospital is attractive to me). I am also active in volunteer work with the
ScienceWorks Museum, building exhibits and assisting in direction of the business side.
Regarding background that might prove useful in this undertaking:
My immediate family has 3 doctors, a nurse and a Physician's Assistant (my wife, Dorothy, who
works for Ashland Family Practice). Several college roommates are also doctors, so I've been
somewhat attuned to the culture and vernacular for 20 years. One of my start-ups (Quartet
Technology) made devices primarily for quadriplegics so I have a fair amount of experience
dealing with hospitals, rehab centers and the FDA. On the "customer side", my experience is
thankfully more limited: I spent 3 weeks in rather sad shape in a hospital surviving typhoid, and
have some fair experience with cardiology from a long time arrhythmia. In addition, I've had the
more routine exposure from attending my wife's three C-sections, and all the emergency room
repairable damage three boys can do to themselves. In addition, I've dealt with end-of-life issues
several times, including life-support cessation.
From a business perspective, I have significant practical experience in business development and
operations, and an extensive personal network of contacts for ideas and assistance. My brother,
for example, has some 200 employees so we discuss unique personnel issues fairly often. I have
significant project management experience, and am used to quickly assimilating large amounts
of technical data and synthesizing useful direction. I have a reasonable financial and contracts
background, but would consider my strengths to be in other management areas.
I have heard from current board members that both the board and staff have some very capable
people, so I am also quite attracted to the opportunity because of my expectations of what I
might gain from the experience. A close friend served on a community hospital board--we had
numerous discussions during his tenure and he highly recommended the experience to me. In my
present job, I do travel about I week per month. Because the Board meets on a fairly fixed
schedule, I should typically be able to schedule around that time. Certainly if I am asked to join
the Board, I will take the commitment and responsibilities very seriously.
Thank you for your consideration,
Steve Miner

Title: Hazard Trees Removal On City Property
Dept: Ashland Fire & Rescue
Date: May 27, 2003
Submitted By: Keith E. Woodley, Fire Chief
Approved By: Gino Grimaldi, City Administrator
Synopsis:
The City will be removing some trees that pose a threat to the public and/or municipal
buildings on City-owned property. This memo is written to inform Council of the project.
Recommendation:
For information only, no Council action required.
Fiscal Impact:
Cost of hazard trees removal is budgeted within the Forest Interface budget.
Background:
It has become necessary to remove hazard trees from city-owned property as described
below:
Location Description Volume
Below Ashland Loop Rd. above Morton St. Dead trees near road. 2 truck loads
Water Plant Road (above road) Dead trees near road. 2 truck loads
Water Treatment Plant Dead trees near buildings. 5 trees
Hosler Dam (adjacent to dam face) Live trees – FERC requirement 25 trees
Recent insect infestations have resulted in increased tree mortality on city-owned forest lands.
This development becomes a public safety concern where dead trees are located near
frequently traveled roads or near inhabited buildings. In addition to these concerns, the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission is requiring some live trees to be removed adjacent to the dam
face at Hosler Dam. All trees that are merchantable will be sold to a local mill. This action is
part of the dam safety upgrades that the City is required to complete. Removal of these trees
will allow visual inspection and observation of the dam superstructure, which is an essential
element of our dam safety program. Tree removal methods will not require the use of
machinery off of existing road systems.

John McLaughlin, Director of Commu~ty Development
Maria Harris, Associate Planner 0t/I,
Gino Grimaldi, City Administrator
On April 1, 2003, Planning Action 2002-089, a request for Annexation and a
Zoning Map Change from Jackson County zoning RR-5 (Rural Residential) to
City of Ashland zoning E-1 (Employment) for a 2.2 acre parcel located at 3151
East Main Street was approved by the City Council. The applicant requested a
City zoning designation of E-l, which was consistent with the property's
Comprehensive Plan designation of Employment. The E-1 zone allows for a
variety of commercial and light industrial uses. After final approval of the
annexation, the applicant intends to construct two buildings, each approximately
4,000 square feet in size, for light manufacturing use. The findings supporting the
decision of the City Council to approve this request are attached.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attach findings supporting their
decision to approve the annexation of the 2.2 acres at 31 $1 East Main Street.
At its meeting on February 11, 2003, the Planning Commission made a
recommendation that the City Council approve the request for Annexation of the
2.2 acre parcel. No action is required by the City Council on the Site Review
component of the application because this was approved by the Planning
Commission.
At the April 1, 2003 meeting, the City Council accepted testimony and reviewed
evidence regarding the requested annexation. At that meeting, the Council
approved the annexation request.
At its meeting on February 11, 2003, the Planning Commission reviewed the
application for Annexation and Zoning Map amendment from Jackson County
zoning RR-5 (Rural Residential) to City of Ashland zoning E-1 (Employment) for
a 2.2 acre parcel located at 3151 East Main Street. The application also includes a
request for Site Review approval for construction of two buildings for light
manufacturing use.
On February 11, 2003, the Planning Commission approved the Site Review
request to construct two buildings for light manufacturing use. The decision of the
Planning Commission on the Site Review component of the application is the
final decision of the City unless appealed to the City Council. Since no appeal
was filed, the Planning Commission's decision to approve Site Review is final
and no action by the City Council is required. The motion by the Planning
Commission included a recommendation to the City Council for approval of the
Annexation request. The City Council makes the final decision with regards to
Annexation.

RECITALS:
1) Tax lot 303 of 391E12 is located at 3151 East Main Street at and is proposed to be zoned E-1
(Employment).
2) The proposal involves a request for Annexation of a 2.2 acre parcel and a Zoning Map change from
Jackson County Zoning Rural Residential (RR-5) to City of Ashland Zoning Employment (E-l). The
tentative plat, site improvements and building elevations associated with the Planning Commission's
approval of a Site Review are on file at the Department of Community Development.
3) The criteria for approval for Annexation are described in section 18.106 as follows:
An annexation may be approved if the proposed request for annexation conforms, or can be made to conform
through the imposition of conditions, with the following approval criteria: '
ho
Co
Eo
The land is within the City's Urban Growth Boundary.
The proposed zoning for the annexed area is in conformance with the designation indicated on the
Comprehensive Plan Map, and the project, if proposed concurrently with the annexation, is an
allowed use within the proposed zoning.
The land is currently contiguous with the present City limits.
Adequate City facilities for the provision of water to the site as determined by the Public Works
Department; the transport of sewage from the site to the waste water treatment plant as determined
by the Public Works Department; the provision of electricity to the site as determined by the Electric
Department; urban storm drainage as determined by the Public Works Department can and will be
provided to and through the subject property. Unless the City has declared a moratorium based upon
a shortage of water, sewer, or electricity, it is recognized that adequate capacity exists system-wide
for these facilities.
Adequate transportation can and will be provided to and through the subject property. For the
purposes of this section "adequate transportation" for annexations consists of vehicular, bicycle,
pedestrian and transit transportation meeting the following standards:
1. For vehicular transportation a 20' wide paved access exists, or can and will be constructed,
Go
o
°
along the full frontage of the project site to the nearest fully improved collector or arterial
street. All streets adjacent to the annexed area shall be improved, at a minimum, to a half-
street standard with a minimum 20' driving surface. The City may, after assessing the impact
of the development, require the full improvement of streets adjacent to the annexed area. All
streets located within annexed areas shall be fully improved to city standards. Where future
street dedications are indicated on the City's Street Dedication_._Map or required by the City,
provisions shall be made for the dedication and improvement of these streets and included
with the application for annexation.
For bicycle transportation safe and accessible bicycle facilities exist, or can and will be
constructed. Should the annexation be adjacent to an arterial street, bike lanes shall be
provided on or adjacent to the arterial street. Likely bicycle destinations from the project site
shall be determined and safe and accessible bicycle facilities serving those destinations shall
be indicated.
For pedestrian transportation safe and accessible pedestrian facilities exist, or can and will
be constructed. Full sidewalk improvements shall be provided on one side adjacent to the
annexation for all streets adjacent to the proposed annexed area. Sidewalks shall be provided
as required by ordinance on all streets within the annexed area. Where the project site is
within a quarter of a mile of an existing sidewalk system, the sidewalks from the project site
shall be constructed to extend and connect to the existing system. Likely pedestrian
destinations from the project site shall be determined and the safe and accessible pedestrian
facilities serving those destinations shall be indicated.
For transit transportation, should transit service be available to the site, or be likely to be
extended to the site in the future based on information from the local public transit provider,
provisions shall be made for the construction of adequate transit facilities, such as bus
shelters and bus mm-out lanes.
All required transportation improvements shall be constructed and installed prior to the issuance of
a certificate of occupancy for any new structures on the annexed property.
For all residential annexations, a plan shall be provided demonstrating that the development of the
entire property will ultimately occur at a minimum density of 90% of the base density for the zone,
unless reductions in the total number of units is necessary to accommodate significant natural
features, topography, access limitations, or similar physical constraints. The owner or owners of the
property shall sign an agreement, to be recorded with the county clerk after approval of the
annexation, ensuring that future development will occur in accord with the minimum density
indicated in the development plan. For purposes of computing maximum density, portions of the
annexed area containing undevelopable areas such as wetlands, flood plain corridor lands, or slopes
greater than 35%, shall not be included.
For all residential annexations of four units or greater
1. 25% of the proposed units shall be affordable and available to qualifying buyers or renters
with incomes at or below 100% of median income; or
2. 15% of the proposed units shall be affordable and available to qualifying buyers or renters
with incomes at or below 80% of median income.
The total number of affordable units required by this section shall be determined by rounding down
fractional answers, determined above, to the nearest whole unit.
Properties providing affordable units as part of the annexation process shall also qualify for a density
bonus for development under the Performance Standards Option for subdivisions.
One or more of the following standards are met:
1. The proposed area for annexation is to be residentially zoned, and there is less than a five-
year supply of vacant and redevelopable land in the proposed land use classification within
the current city limits. "Redevelopable land" means land zoned for residential use on which
development has already occurred but on which, due to present or expected market forces,
there exists the likelihood that existing development will be converted to more intensive
residential uses during the planning period. The five-year supply shall be determined from
vacant and redevelopable land inventories and by the methodology for land need projections
from the Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan; or
2. The proposed lot or lots will be zoned E-1 or C-1 under the Comprehensive Plan, and that
the applicant will obtain Site Review approval for an outright permitted use, or special
permitted use concurrent with the annexation request; or
3. A current or probable public health hazard exists due to lack of full City sanitary sewer or
water services; or
4. Existing development in the proposed annexation has inadequate water or sanitary sewer
service; or the service will become inadequate within one year; or
5. The area proposed for annexation has existing City of Ashland water or sanitary sewer
service extended, connected, and in use, and a signed "consent to annexation" agreement has
been filed and accepted by the City of Ashland; or
6. The lot or lots proposed for annexation are an "island" completely surrounded by lands within
the city limits. (ORD 2792, 1997)
4) The City Council, following proper public notice, held a Public Heating on April 1, 2003, at which time
testimony was received and exhibits were presented. The Council approved the application subject to
conditions pertaining to the appropriate development of the site.
Now, therefore, the City Council of the City of Ashland finds, concludes and recommends as follows:
SECTION 1. EXHIBITS
For the purposes of reference to these Findings, the attached index of exhibits, data, and testimony
will be used.
Staff Exhibits lettered with an "S"
Proponent's Exhibits, lettered with a "P"
Opponent's Exhibits, lettered with an "O"
Heating Minutes, Notices, Miscellaneous Exhibits lettered with an "M"
SECTION 2. CONCLUSORY F1NDINGS
2.1 The Council finds that it has received all information necessary to make a decision based on
the Staff Report, public hearing testimony and the exhibits received.
2.2 Ashland Municipal Code Title 18, Chapter 18.106.30 provi~d~s the approval criteria for
Annexation. The City Council makes the following findings with respect to the following approval
criteria:
A. The land is within the City's Urban Growth Boundary.
The property proposed for annexation is currently located within Ashland's Urban Growth Boundary
as designated on the Ashland Comprehensive Plan.
Be
The proposed zoning for the annexed area is in conformance with the designation indicated
on the Comprehensive Plan Map, and the project, if proposed concurrently with the
annexation, is an allowed use within the proposed zoning.
The proposed zoning for the property, E-1, is consistent with the designations indicated on the
Ashland Comprehensive Plan, while the proposed light manufacturing business is an allowable use
in the district.
C. The land is currently contiguous with the present City limits.
The property is contiguous to the existing City Limits along the south property line.
Adequate City facilities for the provision of water to the site as determined by the Public
Works Department; the transport of sewage from the site to the waste water treatment plant
as determined by the Public Works Department; the provision of electricity to the site as
determined by the Electric Department; urban storm drainage as determined by the Public
Works Department can and will be provided to and through the subject property. Unless the
City has declared a moratorium based upon a shortage of water, sewer, or electricity, it is
recognized that adequate capacity exists system-wide for these facilities.
Sewer, water and electric service will be extended to and through the project. Water and sewer lines
are located in the East Main Street right-of-way adjacent to the parcel. The water line will be
extended across the full length of the property frontage. The sewer line is on the north side of the
street and currently is in place along the full length of the property frontage. Electric lines are
available directly to the south. Run-off from the development will be directed to an area to the rear
buildings and parking area. The storm water dispersion and treatment is required to be engineered
and constructed in accordance with the standards of the Ashland Public Works Department. In
addition, a direct discharge of storm drainage into Neil Creek requires a permit from the Oregon
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
E. Adequate transportation can and will be provided to and through the subject property
Street improvements are required upon annexation with the degree of improvement based upon the
street's location relative to the annexed area. In this case, East Main Street is currently improved
to Jackson County's standards. The pavement and travel lanes meet City of Ashland standards. A
bicycle lane, curb, planting strip and sidewalk will be installed along the property frontage so that
the street in this location meets the city standard.
Fe
For all residential annexations, a plan shall be provided demonstrating that the development
of the entire property will ultimately occur at a minimum density of 90% of the base density
for the zone, unless reductions in the total number of units is necessary to accommodate
significant natural features, topography, access limitations, or similar physical constraints.
The owner or owners of the property shall sign an agreement, to be recorded with the county
clerk after approval of the annexation, ensuring that future development will occur in accord
with the minimum density indicated in the development plan. For purposes of computing
maximum density, portions of the annexed area containing undevelopable areas such as
wetlands, flood plain corridor lands, or slopes greater than 35%, shall not be included.
This section does not apply to Annexations involving commercial and industrial lands.
G. For all residential annexations of four units or greater:
25% of the proposed units shall be affordable and available to qualifying buyers or
renters with incomes at or below 100% of median income; or
15% of the proposed units shall be affordable and available to qualifying buyers or
renters with incomes at or below 80% of median income.
The total number of affordable units required by this section shall be determined by rounding
down fractional answers, determined above, to the nearest whole unit.
Properties providing affordable units as part of the annexation process shall also qualify for
a density bonus for development under the Performance Standards Option for subdivisions.
This section does not apply to Annexations involving commercial and industrial lands.
H. One or more of the following standards are met:
The proposed lot or lots will be zoned E-1 or C-1 under the Comprehensive Plan, and
that the applicant will obtain Site Review approval for an outright permitted use, or
special permitted use concurrent with the annexation request.
The proposed parcel will be zoned E-1. At its meeting of February 11, 2003 the Planning
Commission approved a Site Review application to construct two buildings, each 4,000
square feet in size, for light manufacturing use.
SECTION 3. DECISION
Therefore, based on our overall conclusions, and upon the proposal being subject to each of the following
conditions, the City Council we approve Planning Action # 2002-089. The following are the conditions and
they are attached to the approval:
1) That all proposals of the applicant be conditions of approval unless otherwise modified here.
2) A boundary survey and a written description of the property boundaries including the East Main
Street right-of-way shall be submitted for review and approval prior to completion of the annexation.
3) That the amount, quantity and type of fill in the 100-year floodplain for Neil Creek shall be
determined by an Engineer and a report submitted to the Ashland Planning Department prior to
completion of the annexation. If earth-moving activities involving more than 20 cubic yards have taken
place in the floodplain, a Physical and Environmental Constraints Permit in accordance with Chapter
18.92 of the Ashland Land Use Ordinance shall be obtained prior to completion of the annexation. The
development on the parcel in the floodplain shall be brought into conformance with the requirements of
18.62.070.A prior to completion of the annexation.
4) That the areas of raw material, rocks and fill dirt, that have been placed in the floodplain
throughout the back portion of the lot shall be removed prior to completion of the annexation.
5) That the application shall be reviewed by the Airport Commission prior to completion of the
annexation.

Lee Tuneberg, Finance Director ~
Gino Grimaldi, City Administrator ~ ~
Synopsis:
The third phase of the annual budget process is the City Council holding a public hearing and adopting
the budget as approved by the Budget Committee with or without further adjustments by Council.
Oregon Budget law allows the elected body to increase expenditures by $5,000 or 10% (whichever the
greater) of any fund without further review and approval by the Committee. Council cannot increase the
tax rate without referring the change back to the committee for approval. Changes to any fund beyond
the 10% requires re-publishing the amended budget and a second hearing to be held prior to July 1.
Enclosed within the packet are four actions requiring Council approval to complete this phase and "set"
the budget for FY 2003-04:
1. A resolution certifying Ashland qualifies for State subventions.
2. A resolution declaring the City's election to receive State subvention revenue.
3. A resolution adopting the annual budget and making appropriations.
4. An Ordinance levying taxes for the period of July 1, 2003 - June 30, 2004.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the accompanying three resolutions and first reading of the. ordinance.
Fiscal Impact:
Establishes the budget, levies taxes and authorizes state subvention revenues to be received for FY
2003-04.
Background:
The Budget Committee and/or Budget Sub Committee met numerous times this winter and spring and
thoroughly reviewed this budget. On May 8, 2003, the Budget Committee met and approved the budget
and recommended it for adoption. The Council must take action as proscribed above to establish the FY
2003-2004 budget.
The Committee approved changes are reflected within the attached memo and table.

The approved budget differs from that proposed in total by $133,000. A detailed accounting of the
changes to the expenditure classifications follows this narrative. There were no structural revisions made
to those originally proposed by management.
General Fund
Finance - Social Service Grants expenditures were increased $25,000 beyond the Proposed amount of
$107,400 for a total of $132, 400 in FY 2003-2004. The additional $25,000 is a one-year increase and
will not be re-budgeted or increased in FY 2005.
Public Works - Boulevard Maintenance was deleted from the General Fund and returned to the Street
Fund where it had been budgeted in prior years reducing expenditures by the total proposed amount of
$151,100. The net effect across funds is zero.
Transfers was increased by $133,000 from the Proposed amount of $500 to fund School athletic field
maintenance in a similar fashion as the prior year. The increased amount is a transfer to the Parks &
Recreation Fund where it will be expended causing the FY 2004 Appropriation level to increase by that
amount.
Ending Fund Balance was reduced by $6,900 to $1,315,669 as part of the above General Fund changes.
Street Fund
Public Works - Street Operations increased $151,100 for Boulevard Maintenance as part of the General
Fund changes explained above. This amount is also a reduction in Ending Fund Balance unless there is a
change in revenues to pay for this work. This change returns the expense to this fund as it had been
budgeted in prior years.
Electric Fund
Other Financing Uses was added to the Proposed Budget funding an Interfund Loan of $400,000 to the
Telecommunications Fund, Ashland Fiber-optic Network recognizing the potential of a revenue shortfall
in Charges for Service. The change is a reduction of $400,000 in Electric Fund's Ending Fund Balance
and there is no impact in the Telecommunications Fund appropriations since this is a change in revenue.
Central Services Fund
Administration Department appropriation was reduced by $73,275 to $1,131,131 reflecting a) a budget
input error of $30,000 b) reduction in the Assistant Attorney wage of $20,000 and c) reduction in the
amount budgeted for the City Source production of $23,275.
Parks and Recreation Fund
Parks Division appropriations were increased by $133,000 by authorization of the Budget Committee to
reflect increased ground maintenance support to School District 5 in return for greater public access to
school grounds. Recognition of the Interfund Transfer from the General Fund offset this appropriation.
There were no changes to the Property Tax levies proposed by the Budget Committee.

Title: Cable Franchise Renewal Status - Charter
Dept: Legal Department
Date: June 3, 2003
Submitted By: Paul Nolte 1/~/~)
Approved By: Gino Grimaldi/w~
Synopsis:
The 20-year cable franchise with Charter Cable expired May 19, 2003. Preliminary negotiations with
cable company representatives have resulted in practically all matters being resolved. The proposed
franchise (attached) comprehensively addresses the terms and conditions of the grant to the franchisee
including the use of public streets and rights of way; the fees to be charged the grantee for the use of
these rights of way and the financial control over verifying the fees; clear and favorable requirements for
public, educational and governmental (PEG) access requirements, and complete terms for any violation
or transfer of the franchise. The franchise is granted for five years and the franchisee is required to pay
5% of its gross revenue for use of the city's rights of way, the maximum permitted under federal law.
The remaining significant issue with Charter is the amount of the PEG access fee. The franchise
proposes to increase the PEG access fee from the current $0.60 per subscriber to $.075 to match the
amount required to be paid by AFN CATV. It has recently been suggested that the fee be increased to
$1.00 per subscriber or that a one-time contribution be made in the amount of $75,000 for the purpose of
refurbishing the council chambers with upgraded video equipment to enhance the quality of PEG video
productions in the council chambers. The breakdown of these costs is attached. Also attached is a
spreadsheet of the results from other jurisdictions who have recently negotiated renewal franchises.
Recommendations:
Direct staff to conclude negotiations and bring back a proposed franchise for council review and
approval.
Fiscal Impact:
The current Charter PEG access fee raises approximately $23,040 annually (based on 3,200 Charter
subscribers). The proposed increase from $0.60 to $0.75 will result in an additional $5,760 for a total of
$28,800 annually. A PEG access fee increase to $1.00 per subscriber produces $38,400 annually. PEG
access fees are provided to RVTV who facilities the city's PEG access programming.

Background:
The city's first cable franchise was entered into in May 1983 with McCaw Communications. The
McCaw franchise was transferred to Cooke CableVision in February 1987, which was then re-
transferred to TCI in 1990, then to Falcon Cable in July 1998. The City consented to a transfer of control
of Falcon Cable to Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC in Octob~-1999.
Negotiations regarding renewal of the franchise with Charter began over two years ago with the city
utilizing three different city administrators during this time and with Charter having its own corporate
reshuffling resulting in several Charter representatives being involved.
The franchise proposed to Charter was based on the franchise negotiated with AFN CATV in 1999. At
the time that franchise was approved, it was intended that the franchise be the model for future cable
franchises. The city should remain competitively neutral and non-discriminatory in its negotiations
regarding cable franchises. Franchises involving competing cable companies need not be identical, but
the city should not require significantly more or less from one cable provider over another.

Second Reading of an Ordinance Amending Sections 15.04.220, 15.16.240 and 15.20.040 of
the Ashland Municipal Code to Provide that Fees for the Mechanical, Plumbing and
Electrical Codes be set by Resolution of the City Council.
Department of Community Development
Building Division
June 3, 2003
John McLaughlin, Director of Comm~y Development (~
Gino Grimaldi, City Administrator W,t~,~
At the May 20 meeting, the City Counbil adopted a resolution increasing mechanical and
plumbing fees. These increases augmented recent changes in local structural and electrical
fees. The increase in fees also required that the municipal code sections applicable to
building code increases be modified to allow that fees be set by resolution of the City
Council. First reading of the ordinance modifying those sections was approved by the
Council at the last meeting.
Staff recommends that the Council move to adopt the ordinance amending the municipal
code regarding building fees. These changes will allow for future fee amendments to be
adopted by the Council by resolution.
The Building Division is supported by fees associated with permits and inspections. The
direction from the City Council is for this division to be self-supporting through the
collection of these fees. These ordinance amendments that allow for the fee increase by
resolution will ensure that the Mechanical and Plumbing Programs are adequately supported
by fees.
The City of Ashland has provided mechanical and plumbing inspection programs as the
Authority Having Jurisdiction since the inception of the building inspection program. During
that period the mechanical program has been administered by the Building Official as an
additional duty. A second mechanical inspector for one and two family dwellings was added
to deal with volume in this sector of development. A full time plumbing inspector was
employed in 1996. Fees for this program have not been increased since originally adopted.
These increases will bring Ashland's fee schedule in line with others in the region.
Prior to this item coming for review at the City Council, notice of the fee increase was
announced at the Southern Oregon Homebuilder's Meeting. Further, two mailings, one from
the State Building Codes Agency and once from the City of Ashland Building Division was
sent to local contractors inviting them to comment on the proposed increases, and to attend a
meeting at the end of April with the Building Official to discuss the increases. No written
comments were received on this matter. No local contractors attended the meeting.
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 15.04.220, 15.16.240 AND
15.20.040 OF THE ASHLAND MUNICIPAL CODE TO PROVIDE THAT

mechanical specialty code fees shall be established by resolution of the city
council.
