MINUTES FOR THE REGULAR MEETING
ASHLAND CITY COUNCIL
JANUARY 15, 1991
CALL TO ORDER - Mayor Catherine Golden called the meeting to order and led the Pledge
of Allegiance at 7:36 PM on the above date in the Council Chambers. Laws, Reid, Williams,
Acklin and Winthrop were present. Arnold was absent.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL ADDRESS - Mayor Golden gave her annual City Address concerning
events which occurred in 1990 (see attached).
SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS & AWARDS - Mayor Golden presented a Certificate of
Appreciation to Sgt. Wayne Van Blarcom who is retiring after 25 years of service to the City.
Police Chief Uvely said Van Blarcom has been a sergeant for the last 10 years and the void
will be hard to fill.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - Winthrop referenced page 4, third paragraph and asked that,
"Winthrop was defensive...1I be changed to, "Winthrop was concerned about"; Williams asked
staff to clarify that T1-11 siding is acceptable and Senior Planner John McLaughlin said yes,
the ordinance will read IIlimited to wood siding".
CONSENT AGENDA - Winthrop asked that Item 4) Authorization for Mayor and Recorder
to sign indemnity agreement with Copeland Lumber Co. be pulled for discussion. Laws
moved to approve Items 1, 2 and 3 and Acklin seconded. All ayes. Winthrop asked what
action has been taken to get the contractor to indemnify Copeland. McLaughlin said the City
requested the work from the contractor, therefore, the City would indemnify Copeland since it
was responsible for getting the work done. Salter said if we sign the agreement, we could be
responsible. He felt is was a matter of principal, (only 3 1/2 inches) and theoretically is
improper. McLaughlin said the worst possible scenario would be that the City would have to
saw cut out the 3 1/3 inch encroachment of the foundation footing, but affected parties don't
want to do this. Williams agrees but feels it is not worth hassling with. Reid moved to order
signature, Acklin seconded. The Mayor suggested amending the motion to contact L TM one
more time regarding the matter before signing the agreement. Reid amended the motion and
Acklin seconded. The motion passed on roll call vote with Laws dissenting.
Laws noted that the Council liaison list was incomplete excluding the Recycling Committee
and Traffic Safety Commission. Staff will revise.
PUBLIC HEARINGS - Proposed amendments to the Land-use Ordinance regarding
traveller's accommodations. Mclaughlin gave staff report stating the existing ordinance
was not clear cut. New ordinance covers questions like what constitutes applicant vs owner.
Changes include: clarifying that the owner (business owner occupied) must live on site; a
limitation on number of units based on size of lot; no limitation if combining properties; and a
clear maximum number of units (present maximum is 7 at the Chanticleer so no B&B will
have to cut back). McLaughlin said that Planning tried not to create non-conforming
situations, that the proposed changes are based on existing B&B's. He noted Fregonese's
memo and the final staff report are the finalized version as recommended by Planning
Commission. The only existing non-conforming establishment would be Chanticleer, because
owner is living next door. The public hearing was opened. JIM SIMS, 269 B St., President of
Lodging Assoc., was not opposed to the proposed regulation and supports keeping
Regular Meeting - Ashland City Council - January 15, 1991 - P. 1
standards high. He said the Association didn't like the room size limitation, especially if
imposed on old historical homes, and the ordinance was changed to accommodate.
Whatever disagreements there were have been minor. They had concerns that this
ordinance doesn't affect commercial establishments and doesn't want to limit the industry
from growing. He said staff and Planning Commission really went out of their way to make
this work for all concerned. He believed B&B's affect the neighborhood the least of all
businesses. Golden appreciated positive energy of Lodging Assoc. CHRIS WOOD, 141
Strawberry Lane, CPAC, read letter into record. CPAC routinely accepted the proposed
ordinance with consideration of the effect on neighborhood livability. CP AC recommends
rejecting ordinance. They want to take issue with definition of B&B's as opposed to travelers
accommodations. Some establishments have commercial facilities inside residential zones.
Uvability of these neighborhoods begins to deteriorate with more off-street parking, paving of
the interiors of blocks which changes the use of privacy in the yard. It seems that the
ordinance is geared to better accommodate visitors than citizens. CP AC made it clear it did
not want to change the operation of existing facilities. ROY LEVY, VP, Lodging Assoc., owns
Carter House. Owners only get about 5% return on investment unless syndicated so profit is
not the goal. B&B Parking has been in conformance according to City standards. Over 90%
of B&B's do serve breakfast. Levy said it is undemocratic to limit number if the property
qualifies. Planners might consider zone changes if they want to limit -- City loses control in
commercial zones. The public hearing was closed.
Laws moved to direct staff to put recommendations from staff report into ordinance form and
bring back, and Reid seconded. Mayor reiterated that CPAC thinks future of B&B's
compromises integrity and character of neighborhood. McLaughlin said Planning mapped
clusters of B&B's and is in different concentrations in every neighborhood. They do not
receive a barrage of applications. Issues are looked at individually in every application.
Mayor confirmed if proposed ordinance is not adopted, existing ordinance remains.
Regarding the stipulation that new applications for B&B's must be limited to houses that are
20 years old, Williams asked "why 20 years", was it arbitrary? McLaughlin said it was and
that would limit B&B's to existing dwellings. Winthrop added that it is in keeping with the
existing fabric of the neighborhood. He agreed with Laws that the proposed ordinance is a
good compromise. Reid stated she owns a travellers accommodations and this ordinance
does not affect her. All ayes on roll call vote.
Appeal from a decision of the Planning Commission denying PA No. 90-186, a request
for a variance for parking requirements at 673 Siskiyou Blvd. (Applicant: Shaw). Reid
said she drove by site. McLaughlin gave staff report stating a studio and kitchen were
installed without permits or permission and the site has no off street parking. He said the
Planning Commission struggled with this one since they were looking at an application for
work that has already been done. He asked that Council review this as if it were a regular
application. The Planning Commission approved the Conditional Use Permit but denied
converting cottage and request for parking area. McLaughlin reviewed the criteria for
approval of a variance. Originally, the Planning Commission tie voted, 3-3; two other
Commissioners listened to tapes and voted tying it 4-4. The last Planning Commissioner
broke the tie. Reid asked was unit rented out prior to renovation? McLaughlin said no
because it was partially dirt floors. Golden asked McLaughlin to speak about alley being
paved. He said both Public Works & Planning feel it is appropriate to pave. Reid noted irony
that recent larger commercial developments were not asked to pave. The public hearing was
open. DAVID SHAW, 434 Courtney, said regarding the letter concerning sale of property
from Wayne Stenabow which was in the packet, he has withdrawn his offer. The original
storage shed portion of the building had dirt floors, but the majority of structure was arranged
Regular Meeting - Ashland City Council - January 15, 1991 - P. 2
as a bedroom. He felt the decision not to grant the variance might have been punitive. If he
does nothing, there would be a need for 3 parking spaces. By allowing the changes, only 1
parking space is required. He commented that he doesn't have packet that Council got.
They explained it was available to him upon request. He further stated that paving the alley
would encourage speeders and that his project promotes affordable housing. NEIL FOLEY,
647 Siskiyou, said the condition of alley is horrendous, with heavy traffic. He noted that he
doesn't live at 647 but owns it. He is opposed to additional unit and parking variance. The
Public Hearing was closed. Laws thought Planning Commission did very painful job and
since staff agrees, he could not see any obvious reason to overturn their decision. Winthrop
said he would like to support but it doesn't meet requirement. Reid said we need to look for
alternatives to cars yet we promote parking; she supports the Historic Commission's
decision, and that this is affordable housing possibly for someone who doesn't need a car.
Here is a chance and we're denying it. She felt it would be good for community. Williams
tends to agree with Reid in principal but we have an ordinance that we should stick to and
the issue about relying on a caris a matter of concern and this would be an ideal situation for
bicycle use. Mayor suggested renting with stipulation that renter can't own a car. Salter said
this is good example of why things get appealed to LUBA. If Council asks him to write
findings, he would have to talk about the issues on page 5 and ask what are the unique or
unusual circumstance. Reid said people are led to believe there is such a thing as a variance
and that's why the application is here. Winthrop said it doesn't meet criteria for Variance and
the language for variances was loosened so we could stick to it. Laws said there is no
assurance people would not have car or two but you can't realistically impose a restriction.
Laws moved to regretfully deny the appeal and adopt the findings of the Planning
Commission. Winthrop seconded. Golden read criteria of variance. Acklin noted comment
from staff in original staff report, "...a case can be made" and asked staff to explain.
McLaughlin referenced what Shaw said, that is, instead of existing 3 space deficit,
improvements will lessen to 1 space deficit. McLaughlin recommended that the motion be
amended to approve the Conditional Use Permit but deny the Parking Variance. Laws
amended his motion and Winthrop seconded. The motion carried on roll call vote with Reid
and Acklin dissenting.
NEW & MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS - Memo from Mayor regarding appointment of Ad
hoc Water Conservation Committee. Laws moved to approve and Williams seconded, all
ayes on voice vote.
Memo from Building Department regarding demolition of a fire-damaged house at 366
B Street. Almquist noted that the Historic Commission and Building Official recommend
demolition. Williams moved to approve and Winthrop seconded, all ayes on voice vote.
PUBLIC FORUM - Selene Gantz, concerned citizen and mother, felt fear and terror of being
swept into war. Councils around the country are being asked to review drafted resolution for
approval to make a statement that we do not endorse war. Mayor read resolution. Winthrop
moved to place on the agenda, Laws seconded. Reid personally felt moved by the resolution
as other communities have but felt strongly that bringing it up without notice to the public is
not fair. Members in community might feel undermined. She stated she wished Council had
done it 8 weeks ago. Laws suggested amending the resolution to make it acceptable as
follows: ''That the City of Ashland urges the President of the U.S. to refrain from the use of
force in the Persian Gulf as long as there is the least chance of a peaceful resolution of the
conflict in accord with the United Nations resolutions." Williams shared the feelings of the
group but agrees with Reid and, even with the amendment, he felt they should not vote on it.
The motion passed to place the item on the agenda with Williams and Reid dissenting.
Regular Meeting - Ashland City Council - January 15, 1991 - P. 3
Winthrop looked back on Vietnam era and said he is totally opposed to force. Would support
resolution along lines of Laws' recommendation. Golden hoped leaders will still find a
peaceful solution so we could have time to adopt a resolution. Acklin commended Reid for
brave comment. Laws not in favor of cities making foreign policy but feels time element
demands an action tonight. Winthrop agrees and suggests striking parts of resolution
(second paragraph). Williams had problems with it and would have to abstain if motion was
made. He doesn't feel this is Council's role. Acklin agrees with Williams and moved to table,
Winthrop seconded, all ayes on voice vote.
Paul Cosgrove, attorney, residing in Portland, questioned what was procedure to be taken on
agenda item from Jan 2nd meeting regarding the phosphate ordinance. He represents The
Soap and Detergent Assoc. who was unaware this issue was going to be reviewed by
Council on Jan. 2nd, but would like to have a chance to give comments. Salter said Council
can postpone second reading until later date and receive written comments or reopen public
hearing. Laws asked if we can open public hearing in written form only. Winthrop has no
problem to postpone 2nd hearing to allow public input and moved to table second reading
until the 2nd meeting in March, Laws seconded, all ayes on voice vote. .
ORDINANCES. RESOLUTIONS & CONTRACTS - Second reading by title only of an
ordinance adding a new Chapter 14.09 to the Ashland Municipal Code prohibiting the
sale and distribution of cleaning agents containing phosphorous within the City of
Ashland's city limits. Tabled, see Public Forum above.
First reading of ordinance amending Section 2.48.010 of the Municipal Code
concerning Police special service fees. Almquist read ordinance. Williams moved to
second reading and Acklin seconded. All ayes on voice vote.
OTHER BUSINESS FROM COUNCIL - Attorney Selection Committee - Golden would like to
receive input from Councilors and City Attorney regarding selection process. She read
n~mes of people appointed to the Committee: Barbara Jarvis, Keith Jamieson, Jean Hart,
John Fregonese, Brian Almquist, James Watson, Pat Acklin, and Catherine Golden. Laws
moved to place on agenda, Williams seconded, all ayes on voice vote. Laws moved to
approve committee members, Winthrop seconded, all ayes on voice vote.
Laws would like to see an amendment to the policy on public hearings which would permit
two appeals only and allow legislative hearings as long as staff uses discretion placing them
on the agenda. Williams moved to put on agenda, Laws seconded. Laws move to approve
recommendation on policy of public hearings and Winthrop seconded, all ayes on voice vote.
Golden said RVCOG needs an alternate representative. Reid volunteered. Golden instructed
staff to contact RVCOG with information.

Site Review
Pioneer Street
Erik Wallbank
McLaughlin informed the Commi~sion that since this application came before the Historic
Commi~ion in October, the applicant has made numerous changes in the design of the
building. He has worked with the HiStoric Commission Review Board and Dale Shostrom
in the design and scaled it down to a one story building. It is oriented toward Pioneer
Street, will have horizontal siding and a gable porch. It meets site design guidelines and
the parking is adequate. Staff feels it will have a positive street presence.
Erik Wallbank stated he has cut the square footage in half, it will be located 22 fe~t from
the street, the overhangs will be at least four feet, the windows will be fixed with transit
windows above, the.trusses will be. at least 6 x 12 pitch, and horizontal cedar siding will be
used.
Lewis suggested earth tones be used because of the CraftsIIUl11 style. It was concurred by
. Wallbank and the .Commiqion no bright colors will be used on the galvanized roof.
Wallbank also. agreed to work with the Commission on final details of the building.
Whitten moved to approve the plans as presented with the reservation the Commission have
access to final detail plans. Bradshaw seconded the motion and it was unanimously passed.

Outline Plan, Variances, Outline & Final Plan Modifications
Logan Drive
Barton, Street, Paup and Houghton
Mclaughlin explained this is. one of the most complex actions that bas come before the
Planning Commission and Historic Commission. Only a small portion is actually' in the
Historic District (lot 6 and phase I of Loagan Drive). The actual development will be
.outside the District as lot 6 already has an existing older home on it.
Whitten stated that considering recent LUBA decisions, livability, including water and
electricity, needs to be addressed. She lives in the neighborhood and feels the quality. of
life has decreased because the water pressure has gone down tremendously in the past few
years because of recent development.
Skibby stated the visual impact must be considered because the site can be seen .even from
downtown. Therefore, the houses need to be compatible with the existing neighborhood.
McLaughlin pointed out the development potential for the property involved could have up
to 20 lots if road access and water were available, but the applicants are proposing five new
lots. These will access off Logan Drive.
Bradshaw commended the applicants for their concern for trees and open space. She .does
not think this development will have a dramatic impact on the Historic District.
Annette Paup, who lives in the existing house on lot 6, stated she would like the option to
build a residence behind her home (lot 5). Eventually, she would like to demolish the shed
and build a nice garage, then do more landscaping. The house will remain as it is.
Because the upper portion of her property is quite steep, she would like to dedicate it as
open space. She assured the Commission she would not like any of the houses. to be
incompatible with the neighborhood. She also stated most existing trees will remain, but
that for every tree removed, they ~ plant one with at least a six inch diameter elsewhere.
Dr. Barton explained he plans to live on lot 1. The applicants will set up an arcbitectuial
review commiS$ion consisting of. himself, Ms. Paup and someone from SOSC. The
homesites have been proposed in areas virtually devoid of trees. He offered to let the
Historic Commission .review plans of the homes for input and requested that be made a
part of the record.
The Commission supported the concept of this development, especially the proposed open
spaces, views, tree saving and density; however, still had concerns regarding traffic
conditions, livability, visual impact and the impact of the quality of life.

Conditional Use Permit/Change of Applicant

McLaughlin explained this request is for a change of applica~t for the Queen Anne

there have been no complaints.
Reynolds moved and Whiiten seconded to recommend approval of this application to the
Planning Commission. The motion passed unanimously.

One-Year Review
Water StreetfRecycllng. Depot
City of Ashland
McLaughlin said this location for the depot has been very successful. Other City-owned
sites have been investigated, but none are as well suited. The only problem is the inability
to accept motor oil, however, Ashland Sanitary Service picks up the oil curbside. The
portion of the property not used for the depot has already been turned -over. to the Parks
Department. McLaughlin added it looks as though the site is headed toward permanent
approval.
Skibby moved to recommend approval of this site and Whitten seconded the motion. It was
unanimously passed.

Conditional Use Permit and Site Review
35 South second Street .
Darrel Boldt
McLaughlin stated the applicant and owner are proposing to build a two-unit cottage with
parking access off Hargadine Street. The design is similar to the Winchester Inn and will
be behind the gazebo.. Colors and material will also match. Given the zoning and
adequate parking, Staff sees no problem with this.

Ashland Historic Commission
Minutes
January 2, 1991
Michael Gibbs, owner, explained the detailing of the Winchester Inn will be miniaturized
in the cottage. They are trying to maintain the trees which were planted eight years ago
to minimize the impa~. of the root system. Also, they do not want the view from the
restaurant and gazebo to be impacted. A recycling center will be created. When Lewis
questioned the affect of this on the Winchester Inn, which is on the National Register of
Historic Places, Gibbs answered it should not be affected since it is on a separate tax lot.
Whitten moved to approve the proposal as presented. Bradshaw seconded the motion and
it was passed unanimously.
PA 91-008
Conditional Use Permit and Variances
174 North Main Street
Marilyn Krichman
This planning action, McLaughlin explained, contains relatively minor items (expansion of
non-conforming structure, variance to permit a second dwelling unit and variance to reduce
rear yard setback) and if each were by itself, would be administratively. approved. The
applicant has provided extensive findings and Staff feels the proposal "will have a minimal
impact and will fit in well with the area. The garage, with living space above, is very
compatible with the existing house. With streets on three sides, it is difficult to fit in any
additional structures because of the setbacks, but the property is larg~ enough to
accommodate the separate building. The findings support all three requests. The owner,
he added, has done a good job.
Marilyn Krichman, when questioned about the tree on the corner, stated it is a black walnut
which is dying and is hazardous. It is unique in that it is covered with ivy, but it will be
removed and replaced with the garage/dwelling unit.
Bill Emerson, designer, stated he created the garage design as its own entity. It does not
match the existing house, but it is compatible.
The Commi~ion commended Krichman and Emerson for the beautiful. and appropriate
design for both the garage/dwelling unit and expansion of the existing house.
Hunt moved to recommend approval. of this application to the Planning Commission.
Skibby seconded the motion and it passed unanimously~

Skibby informed those present the Gty Hall was built in 1891 and he would like to

will report back at the next meeting.
366 "B" Street
It was noted that since the house located at 366 "B" Street had burned last October, the
owner has ~ot come forward with what he plans to do with the property. Since it is listed
as a secondary structure. on the Heritage ~dmarks list, he needs to go through the
proper c~e1s (Historic Commi~ion and City Council) if he wishes to demolish it. The
Commiqion agreed the owner should present plans for replacement of the house if that is
his intention. Since"B" Street is very much historically in tact in that area, guidelines .and
compatibility issues need to be addressed. The owner will be invited to attend a Thursday
meeting.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Ronald L. Salter, City Attorney
SUBJECT: David Shaw - PA90 - 673 Siskiyou Blvd.
Ladies & Gentlemen:
Attached hereto is a copy of John McLaughlin's memo of
January 16, 1991. The legal analysis is that where a Conditional
Use permi t is issued on condi tion, then the condi tion must be
satisfied or completed before the Conditional Use Permit is valid.
Applying that in the Shaw situation would mean that before he had
the legal right to reconstruct the units, he would have to' pave
the alley and pave or provide three fully improved parking spaces.
However, as we know, Mr. Shaw reconstructed the uni ts wi thout
applying for a Conditional Use Permit and that puts all of us in
an awkward situation. On the one hand, Mr. Shaw appears quite
reluctant to do the paving of the alley and provide for the
parking as he was denied the right to have an addi tional rental
unit. If he does not pave the alley and provide for the parking,
the legal result would be that the City would prosecute him-for a
violation of the zoning ordinance and also seek a manditory
injunction in the Circuit Court requiring him to tear out all of
the reconstruction work such as the foundation. Some would say
that this was an absurd result. The only justification for it is
to maintain credibility in our zoning process. If he is allowed
to benefit by not following the zoning ordinance requirements then
"enforcement in the future is greatly weakened as is the
credibility of the planning staff.
Mayor and Members of the City Council
January 21, 1991
Page 2
Thus, unless the Council directs the staff to the
contrary, the staff I s posi tion will be as above stated which is
that if the parking and paving is not done wi thin a reasonable
length of time, prosecution and the request for a mandatory
injunction will be sought.
Respectfully submitted,

John McLaughlin, Senior Plan er
David Shaw - P A90-186 -- 673 Siskiyou Blvd.
I'm hoping that we can come to some sort of formal decision on where Mr. Shaw stailds
after the Council's decision on January 15.
Basically, I believe that the Council's approval of the Conditional Use Permit allows for
the structural alteration of the two small cottages (foundation and other substantial
structural work) but that the denial of the Site Review does not allow for use of one of
the. structures as a separate dwelling, and denial of the parking variance requires the
applicant to provide the required parking.
The conditions of the approval call for the installation of 3 fully improved parking
spaces, along with paving of the alley.
As we discussed, in a normal application, the applicant could choose whether to proceed
with the project based on the proposed costs. However, since Mr. Shaw has already
completed the construction (structural alteration), it appears that he is bound to
complete the parking and alley improvements.
The question is, what are Mr. Shaw's options? If he chooses not to complete the
required improvements, do we require the demolition of the work already completed?
Or is there some other option?
Given the nature of this situation, I believe that it is important that we have a clear
answer as to what we will expect of Mr. Shaw as part of this planning action.
I look forward to your response.
Thanks.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Ronald L. Salter, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Planning Decision Process
Ladies and Gentlemen:
For your assistance, this is to comment on the way in which
the planning process is designed to be conducted pursuant to State
Law. The state Law was changed some twenty years ago wi th the
famous Fasano case which made Planning a quasi-judicial process.
Prior to that, it was well recognized that Ci ties and Counties
often made planning decisions based largely on what the decision
makers thought was good and all too often, influenced by .the
character and reputation of the Applicant or perhaps the opponents.
In other words, who is the good guy or who is liked. The process
was changed to avoid that and to require that decisions be made in
accord with rather precise laws~ For example, at the last Council
meeting we had a planning matter concerning a Mr. Shaw. In order
to grant a variance there were four findings that must each
positively be made in order to grant the variance. The first was
"that there are unique or unusual circumstances which apply to this
site which do not typically apply elsewhere." After the testimony
has been given and the public hearing closed, it would be
appropriate for the Council to then discuss th~requisite findings
one by one, each of which are, in reality, questions and determine
whether the facts satisfy the required finding or not. If the
facts satisfy the required findings then the decision comes
virtually as surprise and automatic. All too often, the
discussion is around other more gen.eral topics with the Council
concluding as to whether they believe the application to be
Mayor and Members of the City Council

desirable or good and then the Staff is directed to make the
appropriate finding. That .process is backwards and, in fact,
frequently leaves the Staff unable to write findings that will pass
muster.

Fire Chief Appointment
The City recently received over 70 applications. for the position of
Fire Chief, and selected the top five candidates for oral interviews.
The interview panel consisted of the following persons:
Bill Anson: Fire Chief, Fire Dist. No. 3
Dave Kucera: City Admin., Central Point
Everett Murrell: Building Official/Fire Marshall
Ex-officio:
Mayor 'Golden
City Administrator Almquist
Tony Nunes: President, Ashland Firefighters
The attached list of interview questions was asked of each candidate
by the panel, and following the interviews each of the panelists was
asked to independently rank the candidates. Each of the Ex-officio
members did likewise. The top candidate, without exception, was Mr.
Keith Woodley, who has served as Chief of the Woodburn Fire District
for the past five years.. I am also attaching a copy of Chief
Woodley's application for employment for your review.
I strongly believe that Chief Woodley will bring a wealth of
experience and enthusiasm to Ashland's Fire Department. I personally
visited the Woodburn area and interviewed the Supt. of Schools, City
Manager, Chamber of Commerce Director and the president of th~ir
firefighter~ union. I could find .nothing in Chief Woodley's
background that would change my recommendation.
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that the Mayor apPQint, and the City
Council confirm the appointment of Keith E. Woodley as Fire Chief
effective March 4, 1991, and that the Mayor and City Recorder be
authorized to execute the attached employment agreement.

RE: Recommendation to close the unpaved portion of So. Pioneer
Street which bi-sects Lithia Park to vehi~le traffic for a
two year trial period.
Honorable Mayor and Councilors:
For the past two years, as part of the ongoing planning
process for Lithia Park., the Ashland Parks and Recreation
Cmmntssion has gathered information concerning the unpaved
portion of So. Pioneer street as it impacts on Lithia Park. The
Conmission has conducted public hearings in reference to closing
the road to vehicle traffic and has contacted the various city
commissions for their input and recommendations concerning the
effects of closing the road to vehicle traffic. After reviewing
the information and exploring different options, the Commission
believes that it is in th~ best interest of the .park and park
users to close So. Pioneer to vehicle traffic. From the
Commission's point of view, there are two significant reasons fOl:
recommending a road closure.
First, there is the aspect of recreational use. As the use
of Lithia Park continues to increase, the Commission believes
that expanding the experience of Lithia Park by closing So.
Pioneer to vehicle traffic would greatly enhance current
opportunities for park users to walk, jo~, and bicycle in a
woodland setting. Over the last five years, the Commission has
received increasing input from park patrons concerning the
negative aspects of competing with vehicle traffic from both an
aesthetic standpoint and for safety reasons.
.Safety is the commission's second reason for supporting
closing So. P~oneer to vehicle traffic. In the commission's
opinion, as the street is used more and more for recreational
purposes, the.combinationof vehicles and park users increasingly
c~eates a hazardous situation. The potential for an accident is

.Qlosure of So. __.Pione~x~_tJ':'e~t

enhanced by the fact that approximately 50% of So. Pioneer street
fails to meet the City's minimum street width standards of 20
feet. In certain sections of the street, Lhe width is only 11
feet which is barely sufficient for two cars to pass, let alone
to allow for pedestrians or bicycles. Nowhere along the route is
there a section wide enough to accommodate both pedestrian and
vehicle traffic that meets City standa~ds. Adding to the
situation are blind curves, ruts and chuckholes.
An important factor that the Council will need to consider
when reviewing this issue is that, i.f the road is closed to
vehicle traffic, some type of turn-around will need to be
constructed on the paved portion of the road prior to the
beginning of the dirt portion. In diicussion with the Public
Works Department there were two suggestions on way to provide a
turn-around. The first is to attempt to acquire the vacant
property next to 130 So. Pioneer Street so that a cuI de sac
could be constructed. The second is to use a hammer head
approach for the turn-around.' In order to provide sufficient
space to construct :ei ther a cuI de sac or a hammer" head turn-
around, one o~ two parking spaces p~ior to the beginning of the
unpavedpo~tion of the road would need to be eliminated. .
Another factor which the Council will need to consider if
So. Pioneer is closed is the location of signs to alert the
public that the road is closed to vehicle traffic. The
Commission suggests that a sign indicating Passenger Cars Only -
no RV or Trucks - Dead End Ahead be placed at the intersection of
Fork and So. Pioneer Streets. Essentially, the portion of So.'
pioneer Street from the intersection of So. Pioneer and Fork up
to the unpaved portion of So. Pioneer Street where the road is
closed to vehicle traffic would be restricted to passenger cars
only and parking would still be available along this section of
the street. .
Attached for your review is the information that the
Commission has gathered on this subject including recommendations
from the Blcycle. Traffic, and Planning commission.t~~

RE: Recommendation to close the unpaved portion of So. Pi'oneer
Street which bi-sects Lithia Park to vehicle traffic for a
two year trial period.
Dear Planning Commissioners:
For.the past two years, as part of the ongoing planning
process for Lithia Park, the Ashland Parks and Recreation
Commission has been gathering information concerning the unpaved
portion of So. pioneer Street as it impacts Lithia Park. After
receiving community input and reviewing several options, the
Commission believes it is in the best interest of the park and
park users to clos~ the road to vehicle traffic. From the
Commission's viewpoint, there are two significant reasons for
recommending a road. closure.
First, there is the aspect of recreational use. As the use
of Lithia Park continues.to increase, the Commission believes
that expanding the experience of Lithia Park by closing So.
pioneer to vehicle traffic would greatly enhance current
opportunities for park users to walk, jog, and bicycle in a
woodland setting. Over the last five years, the conunission has
received increasing input from park patrons concerning the
negative aspects of.competing with vehicle t~affic from both an
aesthetic standpoint and for safety reasons.
Safety is the Commission's second reason for supporting
closing So. Pioneer'to vehicle traffic. In the Commission's
opinion, as the street is used more and more for recreational
purposes, the combination of vehicles and park users increasingly
creates a hazardous situation. The potential for an accident is
enhahced by the fact that approximately .50\ of So. Pioneer" Street

Closure of So. Pioneer street

fails to meet the City's mlnlmum street width standards of 20
feet. In certain sections of the street, the width is only 11
feet which is barely sufficient for two cars to pass, let alone
to allow for pedestrians or bicycles. Nowhere along the route
is there a section wide enough to accommodate both pedestrian and
vehicle traffic that meets City standards. Adding to the
situation are blind curves, ruts and chuckholes.
Prior to making a recommendation to the City Council to
close So. Pioneer Street to vehicle traffic for a trial period of
two years, the Ashland Parks and Recreation Commission is seeking
an opinion from the Ashland Planning Commission. as to whether or
not closing So. pioneer street would have a negative impact on
traffic patterns in the city. A traffic count was taken on So.
Pioneer street in November and December of 1988. The results
indicated that an average of eighty-five (85) vehicles used the
road per day. According to both the Planning Department Director
and the Public Works Director, that number of vehicles is
extremely low. The average residential street has a traffic
c'ountof around 500 vehicle trips per day. They expressed the
opinion that closing So. Pioneer Street to vehicle traffic would
have an insignificant affect on both Granite Street and Winburn
Way.
Looking forward "to your reply.
Sincerely,

CALL TO ORDER
Chai~an Williams called the meeting to order at 12:00 P.M. in the
Councl1 Chambers. In attendance were Rees Jones Vern Niehaus. Irv
sch~eller~ Keo~gh, John seli9man. Also in attendance were ste~eHall,
Offlcer Mlke Blanca, Pam Barlow and Secretary Barbran Jones.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The Minutes from the September 24, 1990 meeting were approved as
written.
CLOSURE OF SOUTH PIONEER
Ken Mickelsen, Parks Dir~ctor,. introduced Lee Howard, Parks
commissioner, and presented a slide'show of the concerns on South
pioneer and the reasons why the Parks Commission was proposing to
clo$e it. . Safety of bicyclists and pedestrians was the 'major concern.
The street does not meet the minimum standard for city streets as some
sections are only 11' wide. The road is already designated as a bike
route on the Transportation Master Plan. seligman asked if there were
plans to pave. Mickelsen said it was an option to consider. Jones
asked if the reason they rej~cted paving it as a regular stre'et w:as
because it did not meet minimum standards and Mickelsen responded yes.
Niehaus thought cycling on pioneer would be safer than cycling on
Winburn through the' park. Mickelse,n pointed out that they. 'had no
intention of requesting the City to vacate this part of pioneer street
in case it needed to be reopen at some point in the future. .The
closure would be a temporary (trial) measure. Parks owns the property
on both sides of the street. Niehaus asked that the record show that
he was not in favor of paving. Rob Miller, 153 Fork, asked if closing
the street and paving it were two separate issues. and Mickelsen
responded yes. Seligman moved to endorse the Parks commission's
proposal to close South pioneer to motorized vehicle traffic and
Niehaus seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
REMOVAL OF BIKE SIGNS
Hall referenced the lebter from Dick Unrein in the pac~et ap~roving
the removal of the "Blke"'Route on sidewalk" signs as well as the "stop
. and Yield" signs on the. Siskiyou Sidewalk bikepath. The CQmmission
urged Hall to do this as'soon as possible. williams interjected that
the recommendation should go to council first. Jones moved that staff
prepare a memo to council for the November 6, 1990 meeting
recommending removal of the signs. Include copies of the follow-up
letters going to the state agencies in order to ~xpedite the matter
once. council appoves the recommendation. Keough seconded and the vote
was unanimous.
FOSTER REPORT
Hall recommended that the aike commission and council have a work
session as soon as possible to move forward on the Foster study
decision now that public input has been collected. Schueller
suggested'that 3'on .each side might be a compromise, rather than the
51 asked for in. the proposal.

possible reasons to justify a recommendation to close
So. Pioneer Street
PARK ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
Park air quality ~s affected by the dust particles from
vehicle use of So. Pioneer as the dust filters throughout the
lower level of the park. The problem will increase in the future
because, eventually, the older, mature trees' on the east slope,
which act "as a noise and dust barrier ~ill die from various
causes and will therefore" not provide that protection.
EXPANDING RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
In its present condition, So. Pioneer Street bisects Lithia
Park and, therefore, limits the recreational opportunity for park
usage. As park usage ~ontinues to increase, addition~l space
within Lit~ia Park proper will be needed to accommodate the. usage
load. Closure of So. ~ioneer street will provide an ,area that
could accommodat~ additional people and provide recreational
opportunity for walking, jogging, and bicycling in a park
setting.

SUBJECT:
study of So. Pioneer Street
Now that the COMmi9sion has received-a report concerning Mattera of
public snfety and traffic flo" pntternR regardIng So. PIoneer Street. I
believe the Co..18Bion wIll wnnt to uddreaa the 188ue.focuslng on what action
wIll be in the be8t interest of LJthta Pork ond the people "ho U8e the park.
In looking 8~ S.Pioneer street 801ely a8 it affects the park. there
appears to be two options:
1. To have the street rnMotn o~en eltller In itA preAent condition or with
80Me type of iMprovement, or
2. To cl08e the 8treet incorporating. it into the park proper a9 a non-
vehicle ureft.
In studying the options. the CommJAsion .ay "Bnt to take into_
conslderfttlon-th~ foll~wlng r,n8on8 which have been put forth in favor.or
cl08ing the 8treet.
In Its presp.ntcondit..Ion, So. Pioneer Street. which bisects Lithia Park,
JJ.Jts the recreational opportunity for pork U8ers. As park u8age continues
to increase. addltional RpRce ~Ithtn LltlliR Park proper will been needed to
nc'coMllodat.e -the usage Jond. CloRlJl':e of the 8treet would provide an area. that

DI S(~USS:[ ON'
ON CONSIDBRING CLOSING THB STRBBT TO VEHICLBS:
J. Safety Jssues
Both representatives from the FIre Department and the
police Department said that, as long as they could have easy
access. when needed, that closure of thr. road would not hamper
their operations. They expressed no objection to closing the
road. They. did Axpress some concern a\)out the type of barricades
which would be used and asked "to be con~\llted on ~h19 matter if
it was determined that the road would be closed.
As to the use of the road regarding the safety of
vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians, the present road fails to
meet current city criteria for minimum road width; i.e. 20' if
there is no parking, no sidewalks or bicycle paths. In order t6
meet the 20' requirement, the uphill bank opposite the park
proper would have to be excavated. Tlli~ would be a.major
undertaking and then a .syatem would need to be designed to.
prevent erosion from occurring. By city stnndards. the r.oad is
not wide ~nough to accommodate the multi-use which it currently
receives. General consenSU9 W~9 that, in its present condition,
So. Pioneer Street presents safety problems for the users.
The major concern from th~ Publ1c Works Department would
be tile need to develop a turn-around area if the road 1s closed.
.rhe1:e were two a\1g~)esrl()ns: 'flte firat was to attempt to acquire
the vacant property next to 130 So. Pioneer street so that it
could provide a turn around for vehicles, and, the second was to
use a hammer head approacll for the turn-around. If an adequate
tllrn~ar(1und could be provided, steve lIall indicated that pub~ic
Works wouldbave no difficulty with a road closure. It was also
recomm~nded that a prominent I'dead eriC'l" stre~t sign be posted in
an appropriate plac~ to avoid unnecessary use of the' turn-around..

ON CLOSING THE STRBBT
con " t.
2. Tra~flc flo",
A traffic count waR taken on So. Pioneer street in
November and December of 1988. The reAults indicated that an
average of eighty-five (85) v~llicles used the road per day.
According to both the Planning Director and the Public Works
Dlrectnr, that number of vehicles Ie extremely low. The average
residential street haa a traffic count of around 500 vehicle
trips per day. They expressed the opinion that the closing of
So. PIoneer street would Ilave an InsIgnificant affect on both
Granite street Rnd WInburn Way. Howev~r, bot}l Public Works and
Planning indicated that the street should not be vacated
indicating that thfl city should retain the rigllt of way for a
dedicated street in the event that in the future it may be needed
to handle additional traffic volume.
ON RB-SURFAqING SO. PIONBBR STREET:
1. Ch1p ~ea11ng or o1l1ng
When consIdering using chip seal, Public Works commented
that .the surface did not have a long Ii fe span. Planning
indicated that it was a rougll surface for bicycles. General
consensus was that tltls would not be an appropriate surface for
this particular street. steve naIl also spoke against simply
oIling the road because it would only be good for dust control
and would hav~ to be contracted out frequently since the city
does not have the c~pabJlity to 011 roads.
2. Pavlng
If So. Pioneer Street is p~ved, In order to meet city
.requIrements, and for safety re~sons, It would need to be widehed
to 20 feet. Aa mentioned'above, thln would require major
excavation cutting into the bank. If the street is widened to
this minimum of 20', it .will still lack a safe corridor for
bicycle.and pedestrian use. Fo~ example, The portion of Iowa
street between Walker and Wlght:mnn iA 20' wide, however, it a190
has an 8' bicycle/pedestrian path adjacent to it on the side of
the street next to th~ softball field complex.
In 1988, the ci.ty prepared a preliminary cost estimate to
curb and p~vethc street. If tile proj~ct was coritracted out, the
cost was estimated at $124,226; if th~ work was done by city
9~af(, the cost for materials was estimated at $64,000. These
estimates were based on 4 1/2" of asphalt whi~h would accommodate
all vehicles including truckn. One way to reduce the cost for
paving would be to prohibit trucks from using the street; then
only 3" of asphalt surface would be needed.

ON MAKING SO. PIONBBR STRBBT ONB-WAY:
Page 4
June 23. 19a9
This option had no 9upport. It was generally believed
that if the street needed to remain open to vehicular traffic in
order to eerve the community. it should not be made one-way but
sl\ould remain open for both ingress and egress. John Fregonese
pointed out that when one--way streets are created" they usually
occur in pairs.
ON LBAVING THB STRBBT THB HAY IT IS:
No one expressed opinion on thia option.
R.EVI E:W OJ!- F:I: N'DI N"GS
If So. Pioneer Street is closed to traffic there WQuld be almost
no affect on public Aafety. Both" the Pol ice Department and" the
Fire Department representatives indicated that they would have no
operational objections to the closing of the street to vehicles.
The Publi~ Works Department indicated that a closure would have
no effect on thelr opE!ratiotlrll needs, and. 'i t \'lould have an
inslgnlficantaffect on the traffic flow pattern of the city.
Granite Street and WInburn Way could easily abaor!> the additional
traffic.
GEN"EI~,AI':" c<.::>MMENr.rS
General consel1$US was that, if the road is closed, a combination
pedestrian and blcyclp. pnth should be constructed between 8 - 12
feet wide. This would provide the best access for emergenoy
vehicles if needed. Ii: WA!; also recommended that, if the
commission chooses to pursue a ro~d closure for So. pioneer
street. it request input from tha Traffic Safety commission,
Bicycle Committee, and, Planning commission prior to presenting a
recommendation to the C:i ty CouncIl.

possible adverse affects of the dust created from.So. Pioneer

Dear Sir:
In response to your notice of public hearing before the Ashland City Council
on Tuesday, February 5, 1991, regarding a recommendation from the Ashland Park
& Recreation Commission to close S. Pioneer street to motor vehicle traffic.
I feel that South Pioneer street should be closed to motor vehicle traffic
for the following reasons:
1. Several children now reside on this street and some drivers go at a
high rate of speed in this area. With cars parked along both sides,
especially during' the summer, children and pedestrians are in danger
of being hit.
2. Many people in cars and motor homes drive up South Pioneer and then
are afraid to continue on through the park. In the process of turning
around they sometimes hit power poles and other cars. If a sign indic-
ating that it was not a through street was erected in front of the
outdoor theatre, then people may not drive up the street in the first
place.
3. The gravel portion of South Pioneer causes a lot of dust in the air.
It would be nice for homeowners in the area not to have that problem.
4. The amount of traffic in general would likely decrease -- much to the
liking of the residents.
5. The number of cars driving past the theatre during performance would
be reduced.
6. The residents of South Pioneer street are impacted enough by the tourists.
Any relief of any kind would be appreciated.
Your consideration will be appreciated.

This is to say a few words in favor of closing
Street. The benefits of closing this street to
traffic far outweigh any inconvenience that I can
occur. A few benefits:

2. Eliminate~ a source of summer dust which noW rains down on

3. Benefits walkers, runners and cyclists by giving them a 1/2
mile road for their exclusive use--no encounters with cars.
4. Reduces the cost of the "battle to save the East bank" from
erosion.
5. Eliminates the need for road grader meaintenance of 1/2 mile

7-. Adds to the open space inventory close-in to downto~n.
Possible losses:
1. A few families on upper Granite St. will no longer be able
to by-pass downtown when proceeding to the College or Hwy 66
area.
2. Cost of paving and auto turnaround at the lower end.
In my opinion the benefits far outweigh the possible losses.

Re: February 5, 1991 Public Hearing on Recommendation from
Ashland Park & Recreation Commission to Close South
Pioneer Street to Motor Vehicle Traffic
Dear Mayor Golden and Council Members:
We reside at 369 Granite Street, and Joan and I regularly drive
on South Pioneer Street. Nevertheless, we strongly support the
Park & Recreation Commission's recommendation to close South
Pioneer Street to motor vehicle traffic. Having safe (and
dust-free) pedestrian and bicycle access to downtown is well
worth the minor inconvenience of using alternative vahicular
routes.
Thank you very much for considering these written comments.

BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL
ASHLAND, OREGON

)
) FINDINGS,
) CONCLUSIONS
) AND ORDERS
)
)
!N THE MATTER OF PLANNING ACTION #90-195, REQUEST FOR
APPROVAL OF AN ANNEXATION CONSISTING OF APPROXIMATELY
2.7 ACRES FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 209 CROWSON
ROAD.
APPLICANT: TOM R. GIORDANO, WAGNER-WARD-GIORDANO
RECITALS:
1) Tax lot 2300 of 391E 13C is located at 209 Crowson Road and is zoned
RR-5; Jackson County. The Ashland comprehensive Plan Designation is
single Family Residential; the proposed zoning is R-1-10.
2) The applicant is requesting approval of ~n Annexation for 2.7 acres.
A site plan is on file at the Department of community Development.
3) The criteria for approval of an 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 planning commission, following proper public notice, held a
Public Hearing on October 9, 1990, at which time testimony was received
and exhibits were presented. The planning commission recommended to the
city council that Planning Action 90-195 be denied.
5) The city council, following proper public notice, held a Public
Hearing on January 2, 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 council of the city of Ashland finds, concludes and
recommends as follows:
II
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 "0"
Hearing Minutes, Notices, Miscellaneous Exhibits lettered with an
"M"
SECTION 2. CONCLUSORY FINDINGS
2.1 The city 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 The city council finds that the request for Annexation of
approximately 2.7 acres meets the criteria outlined in section
18.108.065. Specifically the city council makes the following
findings:
A. That the land is within the city's Urban Growth Boundary.
As shown on the city's Comprehensive Plan and zoning map, 'the site
is within the city's Urban Growth Boundary.
B. That the proposed zoning and project are in conformance with
the city's comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan Map designation for this parcel is
Family Residential. The appiicant has requested a city
designation of R-1-10P, similar to that of the Oak
subdivision. The Council finds that, the proposed zoning
conformance with the city's Comprehensive Plan.
single
zoning
Knoll
is in
c. That the land is contiguous with the present city Limits.
The current city Limits runs along the west, north, and east
property line of the proposal site, therefore making the parcel
'contiguous with the present city Limits.
D. That public services, including but not limited to adequate
sewer, water, and electric utility capacity, access to fully
improved public streets, and storm drainage; are available or can
reasonably be made available to the site within 3 years time, and
that the applicant or the city have the financial resources to
extend city services within that time frame.
Sewer: A sewer line is proposed to be extended south from Phase
III of Oak Knoll subdivision to serve the development. The sewer
II .
line will run within a 10' public utility easement located between
lots 5 and 6.
Water: The property is currently served by city water. The service
will be upgraded to accommodate the additional lots. The applicant
has proposed to connect up to the 8" water line at Oak Knoll Drive
and extend a 12" sewer line down Crowson Road and up into the
development.
Electric: Electricity is available from Crowson Road and will be
extended to the proposal site. The existing power pole will have
to be relocated to make room for the new street.
Public streets: A new street with cul-de-sac turnaround will be
constructed to access lots 1-8. The existing residence will
continue to have its access from Crowson Road. Crowson Road is a
county maintained road which has recently been re-surfaced with
asphalt. The County plans to stripe Crowson Road with two, 11' wide
travel lanes and two, 4' wide paved shoulders.
storm Drainaae: All run-off from the development will be directed
to catch basins located within the new street. A storm drain-line
will extend from the basins and discharge into the drainage ditch
located along Crowson Road. On-site retention systems 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 VlI-l 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.
Policy XlI-l The city shall strive to maintain at least a 5-year
supply of land for any particular need in the city Limits. The 5-
year supply shall be determined by the rate of consumption
necessitated in the projections made in this Comprehensive Plan.
Evidence in the record shows that there exists at least a five-year
supply of land to meet projected single family housing needs. Since
the proposal will not reduce the supply of land below the five-year
figure suggested in the Comprehensive Plan, the council finds the
application to be in conformance with Policy XII-1.
In this case, the council believes it is prudent to increase the
city's inventory by approximately 2.7 acres. The proposal site is
bounded on three of four sides by the current city limits. Approval
of this application will allow for a smooth transition between city
and county zoned property, and provide for a more logical and
orderly extension of the city Limits.
Policv XI:I:-2 The city shall incorporate vacant land only after a
showing that land of similar qualities does not already exist in the
city Limits, or if annexation is necessary to alleviate a probable
public health hazard.
This policy asserts that annexation of land is appropriate in order to
alleviate a likely public health hazard. The applicant's have submitted
a letter from Lee Korner, owner of Roto-Rooter, in which he explains
that the current septic system is at the end of its life expectancy and
that hooking up to city sewer would be the best option. The council
believes it is' in the best interest of both Ashland and Jackson County
residents to remedy this potential health concern. consequently, the
council finds the request for annexation to be in conformance with
Policy XII-2.
SECTION 3. DECISION
3.1 Based on the record of the Public Hearing on, this matter I the
Planning commission concludes that the proposal for Annexation of
approximately 2. 7 acres is supported by evidence contained in the
record. .
Therefore, based on our overall conclusions, and upon the proposal being
subject to each of the following conditions, we approve Planning Action
#90-195. Further, if anyone or more of the conditions below are found
to be invalid, for any reason whatsoever, then planning Action #90-195
is denied. The following are the conditions and they are attached to
the approval:
1) That if Planning Action #90-195 is appeal led to the Oregon State
Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA), that the city of Ashland will not
participate in the defense of such appeal.
Dated this
day of February, 1991.

Dear Mr. Almquist,
I am writing to you to express my interest in serving on the Budget
Committee. The allocation of finite resources is always important
and challenging. The uncertain economic climate we are currently
experiencing calls for prudence, vision and an understanding of
priorities. I certainly don't have all the answers to difficult budget
questions. I do, however, have the time, energy and willingness to
work diligently with the Budget Committee to arrive at some of those
answers.
Having owned and operated my graphics/printing company for the
last seven years, I don't have a current resume. I do think that my
work experience will give you a good idea of whether or not my
skills and abilities would be valuable to the Budget Committee.
Please accept this rather informal format as my resume.

Inspections for Phoenix and Talent
We have received a request from the cities of
Phoenix and Talent to provide inspection services
for them. The accompanying memo from the Acting
Building Official, Mike Broomfield, discusses some
of the details of this request. Basically, the City
would break even or better if we were to provide
inspection services at 75 percent of the permit fee.
We estimate annual revenue for this to be about
$16,000 per year. Phoenix and Talent would continue
to provide administrative, enforcement and
scheduling services, therefore, we would not be
involved in any enforcement actions in these cities.
We believe this is a service we can provide and
would be a benefit both to our department and to our
neighboring cities to the north.
Requested Action: Authorize the city Administrator
to enter into an intergovernmental agreement to
provide inspection services for Phoenix and Talent
for 75 ,percent of the permit fee.

Phoenix/Talent Inspection Program
This is a request to proceed with contract
documentation to provide construction inspection
services for Phoenix and Talent Jurisdictions. All
administrative duties and enforcement issues will
remain the responsibility of those municipalities.
In December of 1990 a meeting was held with Mayor
otto Caster, members of the Phoenix City Council,
Talent City Planner, Phoenix Building Official, John
Fregonese and myself to determine how Ashland
Building Staff could provide technical support for
the Phoenix/Talent area in a manner that was
mutually beneficial. Interim inspection for
plumbing has been performed by our staff at a rate
of 75% of permit fee for that specialty.
I have researched direct and indirect costs per
inspection to include travel and administrative
overhead based on current salary levels for our
staff. At the above 75% rate, all costs are
recovered and continue to be covered at the next
cost of living increase, (per man~our rate at that
time will be $49.50/hr). Projected yearly revenues
to Ashland under this program should exceed $16,000
based on 1989/1990 figures from Phoenix city
Recorder, Jeri Jones. Enclosed find 1990 permit
figures relating activity in the Phoenix
Jurisdiction.
It is my opinion that inspections for Phoenix/Talent
can be accomplished by this department with no
increase in personnel. Since the December meeting,
our staff has reduced in size. I am working with
the energy department to certify stu smith for one
and two family dwelling inspections as well as
obtaining 'A' level status for our plumbing
inspector. These additions in certification should
prolong current staff levels until construction
activity in Ashland again increases to 1990 levels.
If you have questions regarding this request, please
feel free to contact me at 488-5309 ext 37. I would
appreciate a decision at your earliest convenience.

Dear Brian
Enclosed are two copies of the Amendatory Agreement No.4 to the Bonneville's
Power Sales Contract. This is the administrative change which reflects a
redefinition of the Operating Year.
The current Operating Year extends from July 01 through July 30, but Firm Load
Carrying Capability (FLCC) for the Operating Year is based on reservoir refill
conditions on July 31. The resulting uncertainty caused by the differen~
starting dates of FLeC and Operating Year can be costly to BPA and other
parties to the Pacific Northwest Coordination Agreement (PNCA) in years when
the probability of refill is in doubt. This uncertainty has existed since
1964, but it has become increasingly difficult to ignore due to additional
non-power constraints, load growth, elimination of a regional firm energy
surplus, and a series of poor water years. Redefining the Operating Year to
extend from August 01 through July 31 makes the determination of FLCC
consistent with the beginning of the Operating Year. Under this amendment,
BPA's obligation to provide power remains unchanged.
If in agreement, please sign all copies of the Amendatory Agreement on page 20
and return all copies with an authorizing resolution to this office.
If you have any questions, please call me or Bob Rasmussen at (503) 465~6952.

This AMENDATORY AGREEMENT, executed , 19__, by
the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (Government), Department of Energy, acting by and
through the BONNEVILLE POWER ADMINISTRATION (Bonneville), and CITY OF ASHLAND
(Purchaser), a municlpa1 corporation of the state of Oregon,
WIT N E SSE T H:
WHEREAS Bonneville and the Purchaser executed a power sales contract
(Contract No. DE-MS79-81 BP90432 , executed December 18, 1982), providing for
the sales anddel1very of firm power and energy to the Purchaser, and which as
amended is hereinafter referred to as "Power Sales Contract"; and
WHEREAS the parties hereto have agreed to the following amendments to the
Power Sales ,Contract for their mutual benefit from coordinated hydroelectr'c
system planning 'n the Pacific Northwest; and
WHEREAS Bonneville is authorized pursuant to law to dispose of electric
power and energy generated at various Federal hydroelectric projects in the
Pacific Northwest, or acquired from other resources, to construct and operate
transmission facilities, to provide transmlssion and other services, and to
enter into agreements to carry out such authority;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:
1. Effective Date of Agreement.
This ~mendatory agreement shall be effective at 2400 hours on
July 31, 1991.
2. Amendment of Power Sales Contract.
The Power Sales Contract ls hereby amended as follows:
(a) Section 3(ee) is ae1eted and replaced by a new section 3(ee) as
follows:
It(ee) 'Operatlng Year' means the period commenclng'each year on
August 1 and ending the following July 31."
(b) Section 10(e) ls deleted and replaced by a new sectlon 10(e) as
follows:
"(e) For purposes of sections 9(e), 11(b)(4), and Definition Z
of Exhibit 0 only, prior to August 1 of any year Bonneville
may notify the Purchaser that Bonneville needs to acquire'
additional resources to meet the Purchaser I S,' load growth
2
occurring after the start of the Operating Year specified
in the notice. Such Operating Year shall not commence
prior to the expiration of the fifth full Operating Year
after Bonneville notifies the Purchaser hereunder.1I
(c) Section 12(b) is deleted and replaced by a new section l2(b) as
follows:
"(b) Prior to January 1 of each year, the Purchaser shall
prepare and submit to Bonneville a revised Firm Resources
Exhibit. Each such exhibit shall delete the information
applicable to the current Operating Year, show new
information for the seventh succeeding Operating Year as
permitted by this subsection, and show any changes for the
first six Operating Years as are permitted by this
subsection (b). Such new Firm Resources Exhibit shall be
prepared in the same format as the initial Firm Resources
Exhibit or such other format as Bonneville and the
Purchaser may agree upon. Such new Firm Resources Exhibit
will supersede the prior Firm Resources Exhibit on the
following August 1.
"Changes in the Purchaser's Firm ResOurces Exhibit shall be
permitted only if specifically provided for as follows:
"(1) The peak. capability of any Firm Resource may be added
fpr the fifth year of the Firm Resources Exhibit and
the energy capability of any Firm Resource may be
added for the seventh year of the Firm Resources
Exhibit, upon designation of the Purchaser.
"(2) Any Firm Resource may be added for any Operating Year
to the extent that such resource ,is in accordance with
Bonneville's annual program which implements the plan
of the Pacific Northwest Electric Power and
Conservation Planning Councilor P.L. 96-501.
3
"(3) Any Firm Resource may be added in any Operating Year
to the extent that Bonneville reasonably determines
that it can market or otherwise dispose of any of its
resulting firm load-resource surplus without
sustaining an adverse economic effect. In determining
the amount of such surplus, purchases which Bonneville
is not committed to make at the time of such
determination shall not be considered.
"(4) Any Firm Resource which is a renewable or cogeneration
resource and which has a planned capability for the
generating facility of 50 average megawatts or less
may be added beginning with the Operating Year for
which the Purchaser had notice of the availability of
such resource, but in no event earlier than the
Operating Year commencing 30 months from the January
on which the Firm Resources Exhibit showing such
addition is submitted. If the owner or developer of a
generating facility which is a qualifying facility
requires the Purchaser to acquire the output of such
facility pursuant to the provisions of P.L. 95-617
(PURPA), the planned capability of such generating
facility may be added as a Firm Resource pursuant to
this paragraph at the beginning of the Operating Year
for which the Purchaser had notice of the availability
of such resource; ,provided, however, that the--
Purchaser shall use its best efforts to provide the
minimum notice of availability specified in this
paragraph.
"(5) Any Firm Resource in regard to which an irrevocable
option to purchase has been granted in favor of
Bonneville pursuant to a written, executed agreement
may be added in any revised Firm Re~ources Exhibit
, 'submi tted wi th in 2 years after Bonnev i 'lle dec 1 i ne s for
4
any reason to exercise its option to purchase pursuant
to that agreement. Such Firm Resource may be included
in such Firm Resources Exhibit for any Operating Year
or Years up to the amounts offered to Bonneville in
the agreement granting the option to Bonneville.
U(6) Irrespective of whether or not an option had been
granted in favor of Bonneville, any Firm Resource
which has been offered to Bonneville pursuant to
section 9(i)(3) of P.L. 96-501 and which is not
accepted by Bonneville under the terms of the offer
may be added effective on the date of commercial
operation in any revised Firm Resources Exhibit upon a
minimum of 2 years' written notice.
U(7) Any Firm Resource may be added if and to the extent
that Bonneville is expected to have an excess of firm
load over its firm resources in the first Operating
Year for which the Purchaser proposes to add such Firm
Resource. Bonnevi11 e' s expecte'd fi rm load-resource
balance will be determined from the then latest
pUb1fcation of Bonneville's firm loads and planned
firm resources issued by Bonneville; provided,
however, that purchases by Bonneville which are shown
in such publication but which Bonneville has not at
the time of such determination made a commitment to
purchase shall be removed from Bonneville's resources
before such determi nation is made. ,Prior to the
submittal of any Firm Resources Exhibit which includes
such addition, the Purchaser shall notify Bonneville
in writing of the times and amounts of Firm Resources
it proposes to add pursuant to this paragraph. If the
Purchaser and other Customers under similar contracts
propose to add Firm Resources in excess of
Bonneville's expected fl rm load-,r,esource' defi ci e~cy,
, Bonnev,i11 e shall ~11 ocate the' amount of Fi rm Resources
5
which each such Purchaser may add giving priority
among competing requests in the order that written
notice of addition was first received. Bonnevl11e~
shall notify the Purchaser in writing within 30 days'
after receipt of such notice of any limitation on the
amount of Firm Resources which it may add.
"(S) Any Firm Resource may be removed for any Operating
Year if the use of such Firm Resource is permanently
discontinued because of loss of resource or loss of
contract rights resulting from factors beyond the
reasonable control of the Purchaser and which the best
efforts of the Purchaser are unable to remedy. Any
Firm Resource may be removed if the use of such
resource is permanently discontinued because of
obsolescence or retirement to the extent and for the
Operating Years that ~he Purchaser has consulted with
Bonneville regarding such discontinuance and
Bonneville has agreed in writing to such
discontinuance. Lack of an adequate power supply to
replace the discontinued resource shall not be
sufficient reason for Bonneville to withhold its
agreement to such discontinuance.
lIThe peak capability of any Fir~ Resource to which the
preceding portion of this paragraph (S) does not apply
may be removed for the fifth Operating Year of the
firm Resources Exhibit and the energy capability of
such resource may be removed for the seventh Operating
Year.
I'Firm Resources which are returned to service
subsequent to their removal pursuant to this
paragraph (8) shall be treated as new resources for
the purpose of this subsection {b}.
6
"(9) Any Firm Resource may be removed if and to the extent
that Bonneville 1s expected to have an excess of firm
resources over its firm load in the first Operating
Year for which the Purchaser proposes to remove such
Firm Resource. Bonneville's expected firm
load-resource balance will be determined from the then
latest publication of Bonneville's firm loads and
planned firm resources issued by Bonneville.
"Prior to the submittal of any Firm Resources Exhibit
which includes such removal, the Purchaser shall
notify Bonneville in writing of the times and amounts
of Firm Resources it proposes to remove pursuant to
this paragraph. If the Purchaser and other Customers
under similar contracts propose to remove Firm
Resources in excess of Bonneville's expected firm
load-resource surplus, Bonneville shall allocate the
amount of Firm Resources which each such Purchaser may
remove 9iving priority among competing requests in the
order that written notice of removal was first
received. Bonneville shall notify the Purchaser in
writing within 30 days after the receipt of such
notice of any limitation on the amount of Firm
Resources which it may remove.
''(10) Any Firm Resource may be removed from the Pur~haser's
Firm Resources Exhibit for any Operating Year or
Years to the extent that equivalent peak and energy
capability from another firm resource is added to the
Purchaser's Firm Resources Exhibit for such year or
years. Such added resource shall be one which was
not planned as of December 5, 1980, to meet the firm
load growth in the pacific Northwest or, if so'
planned, has been offer~d for sale to Bonneville and
Bonneville has declined such offer.
7
11(11) Any Firm Resource may be added or removed for any
Operating Year to the extent that such Firm Resource
is correspondingly removed from or added to the, Firm
, Resources of other Bonneville Customers in such a
manner that Bonneville's total firm obligations to
supply power are not changed.
"(12) Any Firm Resource may be removed for. any Operating
Year to the extent such resource was acquired by
Bonneville from the Purchaser pursuant to a separate
agreement or added for any Operating Year to the
extent such re~ource was recovered from Bonneville by
the Purchaser pursuant to a separate agreement.
11(13) Any Firm Resource may be added or removed for any
Operating Year to the extent that the Purchaser gains
or loses the Firm Resource as the result of a
withdrawal pursuant to agreements in existence on
December 5, 1980, between the Purchaser and others
and which provide for withdrawal of resources on
shorter notice than the Purchaser must give
Bonnevil1~ pursuant to the provisions of this
section 12; provided, however, that the Purchaser
shall not make any such addition or removal on any
shorter notice pursuant to this paragraph (13) than
the notice period provided for in the subject
agreements.
"(14) Any Firm Resource may be added or removed for any
Operating Year if and to the extent that Bonneville
has given prior written consent.1I
(d) Section l3(f) 1s deleted and replaced by a new section l3(f) as
follows:
8
"(f) If Bonneville determines that the Purchaser shall be
designated to purchase on a Computed Requirements basis due
to a sale of generation, Bonneville shall promptly notify
the Purchaser in writing, and such change in designation
shall be effective on the August 1 following such notice.
If Bonneville determines that the Purchaser shall be
designated to purchase on a Computed Requirements basis due
to the Purchaser's notice to Bonneville of intent to sell
generation, Bonneville shall promptly notify the Purchaser
in writing, and such change in designation shall be
effective on the August 1 preceding the date of such sale
as specified in the Purchaser's notice.
"Following January 1 of each year Bonneville shall review
the revised Firm Resources Exhibit submitted by the
Purchaser on such January 1 to determine whether any of the
Firm Resources added or removed are sufficient to change
the Purchaser's designation between subsections (b) and (c)
above. If Bonneville determines a change in designation is
indicated by the provisions of such subsections, Bonneville
shall promptly notify the Purchaser in writing, and such
change in designation shall be effective on the August 1
immediately preceding the date that the Firm Resource
addition or removal is indicated in the Purchaser's revised
Firm Resources Exhibit. If the Purchaser would have been
designated to purchase on a Computed Requirements basis due
to its addition of Firm Resources in the amounts specified
1n section l3(b) above, but the Purchaser has requested and
Bonneville has agreed not to'make such designation,
Bonneville shall not thereafter designate the Purchaser to
purchase on a Computed Requirements basis due to such
addition of such Firm Resources on less than two years'
'noti ce. II
9
(e) Section 16(a) is deleted and replaced by a new section 16(a) as
follows:
"(a) On or before the effective date of this contract, and
thereafter, on or before August 1 of each year, the
Purchaser shall submit an Assured Capability Exhibit
showi ng its ,Assured Peak Capabi1i ty and Assured Energy
Capability for each month of such Operating Year,
calculated tn the manner described in this section. If the
Purchaser is a party to the Coordination Agreement, such
exhibit shall be an estimated exhibit until such time as
the final regulation data are available under the
Coordination Agreement. The Purchaser shall submit a final
Assured Capability Exhibit based on such final data within
15 days of the date on which such final data are available
under the Coordination Agreement.
"In the event the Assured Capabilities of the estimated and
final exhibits dIffer, the Purchaser shall change its
monthly Assured Capabilities to reflect such differences
and'may adjust its Flexibility Account up to the limits
permitted in section 17(d). To the extent that the
Purchaser is unable to make such adjustments because of the
limits of section 17(d), the Purchaser shall not be liable
for any payment at the rates for reserve power or
unauthorized increase. Notwithstanding the provisions of
section 19(b)(1)(B), the provisions of the Relief from
Overrun Exhibit shall not be applied if the Purchaser does
not adjust its Flexibility Account to reflect such
differences up to the limits permitted by section 17(d)."
(f) Section l7(a) is deleted and replaced by a new section 17(a) as
follows:
.ll(a) Prior to May 15 of each year, the, Purch~ser may request in
'writing that Bonneville sell to it during the Operating
10
Year beginning on the next August 1 on a Planned Computed
Requirements basis as provided for in this subsection (a).
The Purchaser shall also submit with such request its
Estimated Firm Load for such Operating Year. If the
Purchaser submits such a request, Bonneville shall approve
such request by August 1 unless Bonneville determines that
the Purchaser's Estimated Firm Load does not conform to the
definition in this agreement. ' In the event such a request
has been made by the Purchaser prior to February 1,
Bonneville shall notify the Purchaser of its approval or
disapproval of such request prior to March 15. If such
request is not approved by Bonneville, it shall identify
specific deficiencies in the Purchaser's Estimated Firm
Load and the Purchaser may submit a revised request,
including revised Estimated Firm Load. If the Purchaser's
request or revised request is approved by Bonneville, the
Purchaser shall, prior to August 1, prepare an addendum to
its Assured Capability Exhibit setting forth for each month
of the Operating Year:
"(1) the Estimated Firm Load which has been agreed upon by
Bonneville ana the Purchaser;
"(2) the 'Purchaser's Computed Average Energy Requirements;
and
'''(3) the Purchaser's Computed Peak Requirements.
"The Estimated Firm Load set forth in such addendum shall
be deemed to be the Purchaser's Actual Firm Load during
such Operating Year for the purpose of determining the
Purthas~r's Computed Peak Requirements and Computed Average
Energy Requirements and for the purpose of determining
whether the Purchaser is using its purchase from Bonneville
for resale."
11
(g) Section l7(d) is deleted and replaced by a new section l7(d) as
follows:
U(d) If the Purchaser purchases on the basis of Actual Computed
Requirements and has Seasonal Storage, it may adjust its
monthly Assured Energy Capability subject to the
limitations of this subsection (d). The Purchaser shall
keep a Flexibility Account which shall show as of the end'
of each month of the Operating Year the accumulated balance
of adjustments made by the Purchaser to its Assured Energy
Capability. The Flexibility Account balance shall
initially be zero on August 1 of'each Operating Year;
provided, however, that if a Purchaser begins to purchase
on the basis of Actual Computed Requirements under this
contract other than at the beginning of an Operating Year,
the initial balance 1n the Flexibility Account shall be the
same as if the Purchaser had been purchasing on the basis
of Actual Computed Requirements from the beginning of such
Operating Year. A reduction in the Assured Energy
Capability in any month shall be accumulated as a ,positive
number in the Flexibility Account and an increase in the
Assured Energy Capability in any month shall be accumulated
as a negative number in the Flexibility Account.
U(l) The Purchaser shall make all adjustments to the
Purchaser's Assured Energy Capability in accordance
with the following:
U(A) The Flexibility Account balance shall be brou~ht
to zero at the end of each Operating Year and at
the end of the Critical Period if the Critical
, Period ends within the Operating Year.
U(6) Except for, the Flexibility Account, balance
previously'retained in subparagraph (0) below,
12
the amount of change in the Flexibility Account
for any month of the Operating Year shall be
limited to the sum of the following:
"(i) For Firm Resources which the Purchaser
includes in Coordination Agreement planning,
such monthly change shall not exceed the
limit allowed pursuant to sectlon 9(m)(3) of
the Coordination Agreement; and
"(il) For Firm Resources which the Purchaser does
not include in Coordination Agreement
planning, such monthly change shall not
exceed the sum of the fo1lowlng:
"(I) The algebraic difference for such month
between the Purchaser's Estimated Firm
Energy.Load less the Estimated Firm
Energy Load, if any, submitted under
Coordination Agreement planning and the
Purchaser's Actual Firm Energy Load
less the Actual Firm Energy Load, if
any, submitted under the Coordination
Agreement; and
"(II) The algebraic difference in ener.gy
capability between the actual
maintenance outages of such resources
for such .month and the scheduled
maintenance outages of such resources
used in the calculation of the
Purchaser's Assured Capability for such
month; and
13
"(III) For specific other purposes as mutually
agreed by Bonneville and the Purchaser.
"(C) The Flexibility Account balance shall at no time
have a larger negative balance than the sum of
the following:
"(i) For those Firm Resources which the Purchaser
includes in Coordination Agreement planning,
five percent of that portion of the
Purchaser's Firm Energy Load Carrying
Capability attributable to such Firm
Resources as determined pursuant to
section l6(b)(1)(A) remaining between the
date of such balance and the date the
Flexibility Account balance is required to
be zero pursuant to subparagraph (A) above
and;
"( ii) For those Fi rm Resources, whi ch the Purchaser
does not include in Coordination Agreement
planning, five percent of the energy
capability of the hydroelectric resources
and other than hydroelectric resources, as
computed in section l6(b)(2), remaining
between the date of such balance and-the
date the Flexibility Account balance is
required to be zero pursuant to subparagraph
(A) above.
"(0) The Flexibility Account shall at no time have a
1 arg,er pos i ti ve balance than the amount by whi ch
the Purchaser's Firm Resources and other
arrangements are capable of supporting an
1-ncrease in the Purchaser's As sured ,E~ergy
14
Capability in the month or months in which the
Purchaser intends to use such increased
capability. At the end of each month for which
the Purchaser's Flexibility Account has a
positive balance, the Purchaser shall submit in
writing to Bonneville documentation
substantiating such increased capability.
"(E) To the extent that the adjustments to the
Flexibility Account are attributable to Firm
Resources which the Purchaser includes in
Coordination Agreement planning, such adjustments
shall be the same as the adjustments which are
reported monthly to Coordination Agreement
parties pursuant to section 9(m) of the
Coordination Agreement.
"(2) If the Purchaser intends to adjust its Assured Energy
Capability for any month, the Purchaser shall submit
written notice to Bonneville within ten days of the
last day of such month showing the Purchaser's best
estimate of its Actual Firm Energy Load and a
tentative adjusted Assured Energy Capability for such
month. If no such notice is given within ten days
after the end of such month, the Assured Energy
Capability determined for such month prior 'to the
Operating Y earsha 11 be app 1 i ed to such month. and
shall not be changed thereafter. If such notice has
been submitted, the Purchaser shall submit a final
adjusted Assured Energy Capability within 30 days of
the last day of such month or such later date ,approved
by Bonneville which shall not differ from the
tentative adjusted Assured Energy Capability by more
than the difference between the Purchaser's Actual
FlrmEnergy,Load for such month and the estimate of
that load shown in such notice."
15
(h) Sectlon 17(1) shall be deleted and replaced by a new sectlon
17(i) as follows:
"(i) Prlor to January 15 of each year the Purchaser shall advise
'Bonneville in writing of its best estimate of its monthly
Computed Peak Requirements and Computed Average Energy
Requirements for the 48-month period beginning on the next
August 1. Information so obtained will be used by
Bonneville in its operational planning. Information
submitted pursuant to this subsection (i) shall be as
accurate as possible, but shall not be binding on the
Purchaser."
3. Account~ng for the Transition Period.
BPA and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree to be bound by their
obligations and responsibilities for the delivery; sale, and purchase
of power and energy for the month of July, 1991, notwithstanding the
contractual and administrative change associated with the
redefinition of the Operating Year. SPA and the Purchaser further
