APPLICANT: RANDY WARREN

FINDINGS,
CONCLUSIONS
AND ORDERS
RECITALS:
1) Tax lot 2400 of 39iE 13B is located adjacent to Oak Knoll Golf
Course, approximately 600 feet west of the intersection of Crowson Road
and Highway 66 and is zoned RR-5 (Jackson County).
2) The applicant is requesting Annexation of a 0.15 acre parcel. A site
plan indicating the proposed building envelope for the lot is on file
at the Department of Community Development.
3) The criteria for approval for Annexation are found in 18.108.190
and are as follows:
A. That the land is within the City's Urban Growth Boundary.
B.. That the proposed zoning and project are in conformance with the
city's Comprehensive Plan.
C. That the land is currently contiguous with the present city
limits.
D. That public services are available or can be made available to the
site.
E. That a public need for additional land, as defined in the City's
Comprehensive Plan, can be demonstrated.
4) The city Council, following proper public notice, held a Public
Hearing on September 3, 1991, at which time testimony was received and
exhibits were presented. The City Council approved the application
subject to conditions pertaining to the appropriate development of the
site.
Now, therefore, the Common Council of the city of Ashland finds and
concludes as follows:
SECTION 1. EXHIBITS
For the purposes of reference to these Findings, the attached index
of exhibits, data, and testimony will be used.
located in Oak Knoll Meadows. Also, an easement will be needed to
extend sewer from Oak Knoll Meadows across the golf course to the
development. The problem with this plan is that the streets within
Oak Knoll Meadows are under a no cut moratorium for five years. In
order to obtain sewer service, the applicant would have to obtain
approval from the Council to cut the street.
The Council recommends the applicant coordinate sewer service with
the proposed development of the adjacent property. Since the street
proposed to serve the new development has yet to be constructed,
the two property owners could work together to insure sewer service
to all parcels.
Water: City water lines will have to be extended down Crowson Road
to serve the lot.
Electric: Electricity is available from Crowson Road and will be
extended to the proposal site. If the existing power pole and
anchors need to be relocated, it will be done by the property
owner.
Public Streets: The property has frontage on Crowson Road.
Crowson Road is a 30' wide, county maintained road which has
recently been re-surfaced with asphalt. The County plans to stripe
Crows~n Road with two, 11' wide travel lanes and two, 4' wide paved
shoulders.
Storm Drainage: Ail run-off associated with future improvements
on the site can be accommodated by the existing drainage ditch
located along Crowson Road. An on-site retention system can be
developed if necessary.
E. That a public need for additional land, as defined in the
City's Comprehensive Plan, can be demonstrated.
The Comprehensive Plan sets forth a goal and three policies which
address "public need" as expressed in the above criterion.
Goal: It is the City of Ashland's goal to maintain a compact urban
form and to include an adequate supply of vacant land in the City
so as not to hinder natural market forces within the city, and to
insure an orderly and sequential development of land within the
city Limits.
Policy VII-1 The City shall zone and designate within the Plan Map
sufficient quantity of lands for commercial and industrial needs
of its residents and a portion of rural residents consistent with
the population projection for the urban area.
The Council believes this policy refers to annexation and zoning
of commercial and industrial land and is not applicable to this
application.
3) That city sewer and water service be extended and available to the
property prior to issuance a building permit.
4) That the property owner(s) agree to pay assigned share of future
street improvements to Crowson Road, including curb and gutter, closed
storm drains, sidewalk, and a sanitary sewer line for the full frontage
of the property.
5) That the owner agree to pay assigned share for the extension of the
water main for the entire parcel frontage, northeast along Crowson Road.
6) That if Planning Action #91-089 is appealed
Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA), that the City
participate in'the defense of such appeal.
