DECISION
The proposal is a request for a Site Review approval, a Conditional Use Permit, and an Exception to Street
Standards to operate a one-unit motel for the property located at 1675 Siskiyou Boulevard.
The subject property is located at the northwest comer of the intersection of Siskiyou Boulevard and
Harmony Lane. The parcel is rectangular, with a lot area of approximately 11,520 square feet, and has
roughly 72 feet of frontage along Siskiyou Boulevard and 160 feet of frontage along Harmony Lane. The
property contains two existing buildings: an approximately 1,035 square foot residential structure built in
approximately 1947 according to Jackson County records and a small, detached shed/garage. While the
subject property is zoned Commercial (C-l), the primary existing building on the site has until now been
used as a residence. With this proposal, the applicants are requesting to convert the building to use as a
single-unit vacation rental, which is considered a motel use within the C-l zoning district. With the
exception of some modifications to the existing landscaping, no changes are proposed to the site or existing
buildings as part of this proposal.
Siskiyou Boulevard is an arterial street as well as being a state highway, and is under Oregon Department of
Transportation (ODOT) jurisdiction in this vicinity. Siskiyou Boulevard is paved in this vicinity, and has a
wide gravel shoulder. No curbs or gutters are in place along the subject property's frontage, and there are no
sidewalks or park row planting strips in place. Harmony Lane, a residential neighborhood street, is paved
with curbs and gutters in place, but there are also no sidewalks or park row planting strips in place along the
subject property's frontage.
Conditional Use
Under the parcel's C-l Commercial zoning, the operation of a vacation rental is considered a motel use, and
is permitted as a Conditional Use Permit to allow for consideration of any potential adverse impacts to the
livability of the surrounding area. In this instance, because the building is pre-existing, already served by
city services and is not to be modified, the impacts to be considered are those specific to the use.
P A #2009-00559
1675 Siskiyou Blvd.IDS
Page 1
Given the location on an arterial street within a commercial zoning district, staff believe that the proposed
single-unit motel use and the two parking spaces it requires will significantly less adverse material effect on
the livability of the impact area than would redevelopment of the property to the target use, which would be
retail use developed to a 0.35 floor area ratio. In staff's view, while the proposal is considered a motel use
based on the commercial zoning, its impacts are essentially equivalent to a Traveler's Accommodation as it
is being operated in what was formerly a residence and will retain a residential character consistent with the
long-established use of the site.
During the comment period following notice of complete application, neighbors have noted: that vehicular
parking in the ODOT right-of-way on the gravel shoulder of Siskiyou Boulevard creates a vision clearance
concern for cars turning from Harmony Lane onto Siskiyou; that the noise from idling loading or unloading
vehicles in the vicinity has been a concern; and that adherence to light and glare standards be enforced. In
considering these issues, staff does not believe that any will be exacerbated by the proposed motel use. The
parking required by the proposed use is to be accommodated in the existing parking lot off of Harmony Lane
and should thus not generate any parking within the Siskiyou right-of-way. As a motel use, there should be
no need for idling while loading or unloading vehicles and parking for staff is to, and additionally such idling
is regulated in Section 11.24.020 of the Ashland Municipal Code. And, while lighting and glare should be
as they have been with the long-established residential use, a condition has been added to require that
exterior lighting be shrouded to prevent direct illumination of adjacent properties. While there is no
requirement that a motel have an owner/manager residing on site as would a Travelers Accommodation in a
residential district, in this irlstance the applicants own a well-established restaurant and a residential rental on
the adjacent properties and will thus be able to maintain a degree of oversight that allows their continued
monitoring of any impacts to the surrounding neighborhood of which they are already an established part.
Site Review
As noted above, the building is pre-existing and with the exception of some landscaping upgrades, no
modifications to the existing building have been proposed. As such, staff's primary concern in reviewing the
application has been to ensure that the proposed landscaping modifications including hedges and fencing are
carried out in a manner consistent with the Site Design and Use Standards and that adequate parking will be
provided.
The foremost of the Basic Site Review Standards is that buildings maintain a primary orientation to the
street, with an entrance oriented to the street and accessible from the sidewalk. In initial discussions with the
applicants, tall walls and hedges were proposed to buffer the proposed motel unit from the impacts of traffic
along Siskiyou Boulevard. Staff expressed some concern that attempts to physically separate the unit from
the streetscape ran counter to maintaining a primary orientation to the street and would also conflict with
fence height limitations in a required front yard along this arterial street. The applicants have subsequently
modified the proposal and indicated that any fencing or screening used will be consistent with the Site
Design standards and the front yard fence height limitations, and have identified arborvitae as the proposed
hedge planting for its three-foot height at maturity. A condition to this effect has been added below.
For motel use, one parking space is required to be provided for each guest room and one space for an
owner/manager. The applicants own an adjacent property that contains an existing, improved parking lot;
they propose to provide three parking spaces to accommodate the motel's parking demand on this adjacent
lot and have provided calculations demonstrating that additional spaces beyond those required for their
adjacent restaurant use are available.

Exception to Street Standards
The applicants have requested that they not be required to provide frontage street improvements including
sidewalks and park row planting strips with the proposal, and have argued that pedestrian traffic is minimal
and that continuous sidewalks are not in place to accommodate pedestrian traffic in the vicinity. They have
proposed that they would instead sign in favor of a local improvement district to comprehensively complete
sidewalk installation at a future date.
While in staff's view the lack of continuous sidewalks and the resulting low level of pedestrian traffic could
be seen as an indication of the need for sidewalk installation, in this instance we believe that the nature of the
proposed use appears to involve no intensification of transportation impacts (and could actually be seen to
involve a de-intensification of transportation impacts given the seasonal nature ofa motel unit's occupancy
versus the likely year-round occupancy of a residence) and thus represents a demonstrable difficulty in that
the magnitude of improvements required would significantly exceed any potential impact of the proposed
use. Given the minimal transportation impact of the proposed use versus the long-established residential
use, staff does not find that there is a nexus to require the street improvements. This difficulty is alleviated,
and the future installation of equal facilities provided for by the applicants' signing-in favor of a future local
improvement district.
The criteria for a Conditional Use Permit are described in AMC Chapter 18.104.050, as follows:
A. That the use would be in conformance with all standards within the zoning district in which
the use is proposed to be located, and in conformance with relevant Comprehensive plan
policies that are not implemented by any City, State, or Federal law or program.
B. That adequate capacity of City facilities for water, sewer, paved access to and through the
development, electricity, urban storm drainage, and adequate transportation can and will be
provided to and through the subject property.
C. That the conditional use will have no greater adverse material effect on the livability of the
impact area when compared to the development of the subject lot with the target use of the
zone. When evaluating the effect of the proposed use on the impact area, the following
factors of livability of the impact area shall be considered in relation to the target use of the
zone:
1. Similarity in scale, bulk, and coverage.
2. Generation of traffic and effects on surrounding streets. Increases in pedestrian,
bicycle, and mass transit use are considered beneficial regardless of capacity of
facilities.
3. Architectural compatibility with the impact area.
4. Air quality, including the generation of dust, odors, or other environmental
pollutants.
5. Generation of noise, light, and glare.
6. The development of adjacent properties as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan.
7. Other factors found to be relevant by the Hearing Authority for review of the
proposed use.

The criteria for Site Review Approval are described in AMC Chapter 18.72.070, as follows:
A. All applicable City ordinances have been met or will be met by the proposed development.
B. All requirements of the Site Review Chapter have been met or will be met.
e. The development complies with the Site Design Standards adopted by the City Council for
implementation of this Chapter.
D. That adequate capacity of City facilities for water, sewer, paved access to and through the
. development, electricity, urban storm drainage, and adequate transportation can and will be
provided to and through the subject property.
The criteria for an Exception to Street Standards are described in AMC Chapter 18.88.050, as
follows:
A. There is demonstrable difficulty in meeting the specific requirements of this chapter due to a
unique or unusual aspect of the site or proposed use of the site.
B. The variance will result in equal or superior transportation facilities and connectivity,'
e. The variance is the minimum necessary to alleviate the difficulty,' and
D. The variance is consistent with the stated Purpose and Intent of the Performance Standards
Options Chapter.
As noted above, while the proposal is considered a motel use based on the commercial zoning, its impacts
are essentially equivalent to a Traveler's Accommodation as it is being operated in what was formerly a
single-family residence and will retain an essentially residential character consistent with the long-
established residential use of the site. Given the location on an arterial street within a commercial zoning
district, staff believe that the proposed single-unit motel and associated parking will have significantly less
adverse material effect on the livability of the impact area than would redevelopment of the property to its
target use, which would be retail commercial developed to a floor area ration of 0.35. The application with
the attached conditions complies with all applicable City ordinances. Planning Action 2009-00559 is
approved with the following conditions. Further, if anyone or more of the following conditions are found to
be invalid for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action 2009-00559 is denied. The following are the
conditions and they are attached to the approval:
1) That all proposals of the applicant shall be conditions of approval unless otherwise modified here.
2) That the applicant shall obtain a City of Ashland business license prior to operation of the one-unit
motel.
3) That the approval shall be for a one-unit motel only, and any future expansion of the establishment or
other modifications to the proposal shall be subject to a land use action to modifY the Site Review
and Conditional Use Permit approvals.
4) That the recommendations from the Tree Commission's September 3, 2009 meeting shall be
conditions of approval where consistent with applicable ordinances and standards and with final
approval by the Staff Advisor. These recommendations are: 1) That the proposed hedge along
Siskiyou Boulevard shall be replaced with a hedging material that is no greater than three-and-one-
half-feet in height at maturity in order to retain the building's primary orientation to the street and
street presence and comply with front yard fence height limitations; and 2) That all tree staking and
ties shall be removed within one-year of planting of the tree(s).

5) That, in order to retain the building's primary orientation to the street and street presence, and to
comply with front yard fence height limitations, any fences, hedges, walls or other screening methods
installed in the front yard shall be limited to no more than three-and-one-half feet in height and shall
be installed to maintain functional pedestrian access from the pedestrian right-of-way to the front
door. Required vision clearance areas shall contain no plantings, fences, walls, structures, or
" temporary or permanent obstructions exceeding two and one-half feet in height, measured from the

CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS
18.104.050 Approval Criteria
A conditional use permit shall be granted if the approval authority finds that the proposed use conforms, or can be made to conform through the imposition of
conditions, with the following approval criteria.
A. That the use would be in conformance with all standards within the zoning district in which the use is proposed to be located, and in conformance with
relevant Comprehensive plan policies that are not implemented by any City, State, or Federal law or program.
B. That adequate capacity of City facilities for water, sewer, paved access to and through the development, electricity, urban storm drainage, and adequate
transportation can and will be provided to and through the subject property.
C. That the conditional use will have no greater adverse material effect on the livability of the impact area when compared to the development of the subjec
lot with the target use of the zone. When evaluating the effect of the proposed use on the impact area, the following factors of livability of the impact area
shall be considered in relation to the target use of the zone:
1. Similarity in scale, bulk, and coverage.
2. Generation of traffic and effects on surrounding streets. Increases in pedestrian, bicycle, and mass transit use are considered beneficial regardless
of capacity of facilities.
3. Architectural compatibility with the impact area.
4. Air quality, including the generation of dust, odors, or other environmental pollutants.
5. Generation of noise, light, and glare.
6. The development of adjacent properties as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan.
7. Other factors found to be relevant by the Hearing Authority for review of the proposed use.
EXCEPTION TO STREET STANDARDS

Findings For Proposed Travelers Accommodation
Located at 1625 Siskiyou Ashland Or. 97520
Applicant: Piengchit and Phil Crompton (owner) July 15,09
In response to the planning divisions letter dated May 28,09 PA#2009-00559
The following findings should be added to the application.
1. Site Review Chapter 18.72.070
A. All city ordinances will be met for proposed travelers accommodation.
B. All requirements for the Site Review have been met.
C. The proposed travelers accommodation complies with the Site Design
Standards adopted by City Counsel.
D. The pre~application notes that all necessary city services for a traveler's
accommodation do exist on the proposed site.
E. The applicant's request for not having to meet the street standard is
addressed in the conditional use findings. (See Number 2 section E.)
2. Conditional Use permit chapter 104.050
A. The zoning for the proposed travelers accommodation is C-l . The subject
property conforms to all the zoning standards relevant for the proposed
use. It is in compliance with the Comprehensive plan and the envisioned
Comprehensive in vision plan for the adjacent properties
B. .The proposal does not conflict with any Federal or State laws.
C. Adequate City services do exist and have been deemed sufficient by the
appropriate departments. A paved driveway passing thru on the north
property line to the restaurant owned by the applicant is adequate for
the traffic that would be generated by the proposed use.
D. The proposed use as a travelers accommodation will have no impact on
the adjacent properties. The project is bordered on the west side by the
applicant's restaurant and by Harmony lane on the east. The south
property is Siskiyou Blvd and North of the property is a parking lot and
driveway owned by the applicant. The project is similar in scale to its
surroundings. The RVTD has a pickup and drop of location directly across
from the proposed project for mass transit use. There is a bike lane
heading east and west on Siskiyou Blvd. providing excellent alternatives
to driving to the downtown for the guests.
E. The proposed structure was built in the late 1950's and has no significant
changes to its exterior. It has no adverse architectural impact on the
adjacent properties as it fits in with the surrounding structures.
F. An exception to the Street Standards can be justified by the fact that there
have been no other improvements on adjacent properties. Constructing
sidewalks and gutters would be a safety issue and a water problem. There
are no connecting pedestrian walkways for pedestrians to use east or
west. Encouraging the use by building sidewalks puts pedestrians in
harms way. On the east side the pedestrians would leave the sidewalk and
have to cross an unimproved section of driveway servicing the restaurant.
Exiting on the west side, they would have to cross Harmony Lane having
no crosswalk designation. Headed north down Harmony lane they would
have to walk in the street, as there are no sidewalks on Harmony lane. The
impervious surface from the sidewalks and gutters would cause a water
problem. The water from the impervious surface would run east down
Siskiyou due to the grade. With the absence of storm drains the added
water would cause erosion and standing water in front of the restaurant
access.
G. Environmental pollutants from the proposed travelers accommodation
will not exist. The use of the mass transit and the bike paths by the guests
will in fact lesson the carbon emissions. Travelers accommodation offer a
way for property owners to maintain and keep the property appealing. Its
past use was renting to college students. This left the property in an
undesirable condition. Noise and light generation will be way less than ifit
were to continue to be rented to College students.
3. The number of unites proposed is one as designated on the site plan
submitted.
4. Exception to street standards has been requested and should be
considered based on the following criteria.
A. There are no sidewalk improvements on either side of the proposed
travelers accommodation causing a safety issue. There are no connecting
pedestrian walkways for pedestrians to use east or west. Encouraging the use
by building sidewalks puts pedestrians in harms way. On the east side the
pedestrians would leave the sidewalk and have to cross an unimproved
section of driveway servicing the restaurant. Exiting on the west side, they
would have to cross Harmony Lane having no crosswalk designation. Headed
north down Harmony lane they would have to walk in the street, as there are
no sidewalks on Harmony lane.
B. The sidewalks and gutters being of impervious material would cause
a water problem. The water from the impervious surface would run east
down Siskiyou due to the grade. With the absence of storm drains the
added water would cause erosion and standing water in front of the
restaurant access. In the winter this would become an ice skating rink.
We should not encourage pedestrians to exit a sidewalk onto an ice
situation.
C. Applicant agrees to sign in favor of future development of sidewalks
and gutters when the adjacent properties are required to do the same.
D. Requiring the street standard would result in superior transportation
facilities as compared to adjacent properties.
5. Disabled Persons Parking Requirement.
A. The applicant and the Head of the building dept . had a meeting on
site and deemed that a handicap parking site was not necessary. It
should be noted that the proposed travelers accommodation would not
have to met ADA or ANSI standards as per building department head.
6. Parking.
A. The restaurant adjacent to the proposed travelers accommodation on
the east side will form a lease agreement to designate two parking
spaces for the travelers accommodation. The restaurant and the
proposed travelers accommodation are the same owners.
B. The City Code for restaurant parking requires that there be one
parking spot for 4 seats in the restaurant. The restaurant has 80 seats
and 25 parking spaces. 80 seats would then require 20 parking spaces.
Designating two for the proposed travelers accommodation would not
take the restaurant out of compliance with the City Code.
6. The proposed hedge.
A. The applicant for the proposed travelers accommodation aggress to
omit the hedge of Fraser's Photinia. In its place Arbovida will be used
which does not exceed 3 ft in its mature state. This will eliminate the
vision clearance issue. There will be an opening in the hedge for
pedestrian traffic with a pervious surface path leading to Siskiyou Blvd.
from the front door. This will encourage the use of the available mass
transit by the guests. This change would satisfy the criteria to meet the
architectural entry standards.
7. Elevations and proposed colors.
A. Photos of the project have been included with these findings in place
of elevation drawings. The applicant and the planner assigned to the
project felt photos would be better option considering there are to be
no modifications to the exterior of the proposed structure.
B. At present there are no plans to paint the exterior. Should in the
future that change the applicant aggress to address the new colors
should they change with the planning department for approval?

Re: P A #2009-00559, for the property located at 1675 Siskiyou Boulevard
Incompleteness Determination
Dear P. Crompton,
I have reviewed the May 5, 2009 submittals for your application for a Conditional Use Permit to operate
a motel for the property located at 1675 Siskiyou Boulevard. After examining the materials presented, I
have determined that the application is incomplete because the information listed below was not
provided. Incomplete applications are subject to delay in accordance with ORS 227.178. The
application cannot be further processed and deemed complete until the missing information is submitted
or the applicant indicates that the missing information will not be provided.
Complete Written Findings: Complete written findings addressing all criteria for Site Review
and Conditional Use Permit are required before your application can be deemed complete.
These criteria are: .
Site Review from Chapter 18.72.070:
A. All applicable City ordinances have been met or will be met by the proposed
development.
B. All requirements of the Site Review Chapter have been met or will be met.
C. The development complies with the Site Design. Standards adopted by the City
Council for implementation of this Chapter.
D. That adequate capacity of City facilities for water, sewer, paved access to and
through the development, electricity, urban storm drainage, and adequate
transportation can and will be provided to and through the subject property. All
improvements in the street right-of-way shall comply with the Street Standards in
Chapter 18.88, Performance Standards Options.
Conditional Use Permit from Chapter 18.104.050
A. That the use would be in conformance with all standards within the zoning district
in which the use is proposed to be located, and in conformance with relevant

Comprehensive plan policies that are not implemented by any City, State, or
Pederallaw or program.
B. That adequate capacity of City facilities for water, sewer, paved access to and
through the development, electricity, urban storm drainage, and adequate
transportation can and will be provided to and through the subject property.
C. That the conditional use will have no greater adverse material effect on the
livability of the impact area when compared to the development of the subject lot
with the target use of the zone. When evaluating the effect of the proposed use
on the impact area, the fOllowing factors of livability of the impact area shall be
considered in relation to the target use of the zone:
1. Similarity in scale, bulk, and coverage.
2. Generation of traffic and effects on surrounding streets. Increases in
pedestrian, bicycle, and mass transit use are considered beneficial
regardless of capacity of facilities.
3. Architectural compatibility with the impact area.
4. Air quality, including the generation of dust, odors, or other environmental
pollutants.
5. Generation of noise, light, and glare.
6. The development of adjacent properties as envisioned in the
Comprehensive Plan.
7. Other factors fOl!nd to be relevant by the Hearing Authority for review of
the proposed use.
Number of Units Proposed - The application should clarify the number of guest units
proposed, and provide a floor plan demonstrating the unit configuration.
Exception to Street Standards . Sidewalks: The application requests not to install
sidewalks. This would require an Exception to Street Standards, and written findings would
need to be submitted addressing the following criteria:
A. There is demonstrable difficulty in meeting the specific requirements of this chapter due
to a unique or unusual aspect of the site or proposed use of the site.
B. The variance will result in equalor superior transportation facilities and connectivity;
C. The variance is the minimum necessary to alleviate the difficulty; and
D. The variance is consistent with the stated Purpose and Intent of the Performance
Standards Options Chapter.
Not installing the sidewalks would also need to be considered in the findings for the
Conditional Use Permit and Site Review, both of which have approval criteria specifically
relating to providing adequate transportation facilities.

Variance - Disabled Person Parking Requirements: The application submittal is unclear,
but in item #10 appears to request a Variance to the requirement to provide disabled person
parking. If this is the case, complete written findings for a Variance would need to be
submitted, and an additional $917 fee paid. Recent requests for Variances to disabled person
parking requirements have not been favorably received by the Planning Commission.
The written findings for a Variance would need to thoroughly address the following approval
criteria:
A. That there are unique or unusual circumstances which apply to this site which do not typically
apply elsewhere.
B. That the proposal's benefits will be greater than any negative impacts on the development of the
adjacent uses; and will further the purpose and intent of this ordinance and the Comprehensive
Plan of the City.
C. That the circumstances or conditions have not been willfully or purposely self-imposed.
You should be aware that even if a planning variance were approved, there are still federal and
state requirements for accessibility, potentially including parking, that would need to be
addressed. Recent remodel permits have been issued based on continuing the existing
residential use. With a conversion to a commercial use, the existing building will likely require
other accessibility improvements. Accessibility requirements are based in federal and state
law; a waiver of these other accessibility requirements would need to be discussed with the
Building Division, and would likely require further review at the state level.
\
Parking: While the application notes that there has never been a problem with sufficient
parking for the neighboring business, the applicant needs to clarify how much parking is
required by code for the adjacent business and that at least this amount of parking is available
after leasing spaces for the proposed motel use. This means that the square footage and
number of seats needs to be noted, parking requirements calculated, and the number of
available spaces shown as part of the application.
Proposed Hedge: The hedge shown in the front yard in the landscape plan will be subject to
both Ashland's fence height restrictions and vision clearance standards, similarly to the wall
proposed at the pre-application level. Within the required front yard along Siskiyou Boulevard,
the proposed hedge could not exceed three and one-half feet in height. As the proposed
Fraser's Photinia typically reaches heights of 12-20 feet at maturity, it could not be approved
for planting within the front yard. The application materials will need to identify the vision
clearance areas on the plans, and any plants proposed for plantings in either vision clearance
areas or within required setbacks will need to be selected to demonstrate compliance with the
fence height and vision clearance limitations. In addition, to gain approval the application
needs to demonstrate compliance with Site Review standards in written findings and the plan
submittals. One of the primary standards to be addressed is the requirement that the building
be oriented to the street with an entrance directly accessible from the sidewalk and visible and

open to the public. All comments from the pre-application relating to the proposed wall, with
the exception of those relating to building permit requirements, would apply directly to this
hedge as well. (The plans will need to carefully identify the property line and vision clearance
areas, and the Oregon Department of Transportation may also have requirements relating to
the installation of landscaping within or adjacent to state highway right-of-way.)
Elevation Drawings & Proposed Colors: Without elevation drawings and color and material
details of the existing structure, proposed signage, and any proposed modifications associated
with the application, Planning Staff and/or the Planning Commission will be unable to gauge
how the proposal'satisfies Site Review and Conditional Use criteria such as meeting the sense
of entry and architectural compatibility standards.
To continue the Planning Department's review of your application, you must select and complete one of
the following three options: .
1. Submit all of the missing information;
2. Submit some of the requested information and give the City of Ashland Planning Division
written notice that no other information will be provided; or
3. Submit written notice to the City of Ashland Planning Division indicating that no other
information will be provided.
Please note that failure to complete one of the three options within 180 days of the application submittal
date (May 5, 2009) will result in your application being deemed void. The application will be deemed
void if the additional information is not submitted by November 1, 2009.
I have enclosed a form, entitled the "Applicant's Statement of Completeness". Please review the
enclosed form and return it to me with any additional material you will be submitting. Your application

Proposed Vacation Rental
at 1625 Siskiyou Blvd.
Ashland Or. 97520
Project name. ( Siskiyou Cottages)
Findings for proposed conditional use permit to own and operate a vacation rental .
1. The property is Zoned C-1 which allows the operation of a vacation rental with a conditional
use permit. The proposed project is in conformance with the comprehensive plan.
2. The location of the property is surrounded on three sides ,east south and west by commercial
businesses. The North side has a residence.
A parking lot separates the two houses by 60 ft. The adjacent property on the north side is owned
by the applicant and is used as a monthly rental. Operating a vacation rental will have no adverse
effect on the surrounding properties.
3. The pre-application conference found that the proposed six ft wall conflicted with city
ordinances and therefor has been illuminated from the proposal. A 3 ft wood fence will be used to
in enhances and separate the property from Siskiyou Blvd. pre-application
4. The pre-application conference has determined that all of the necessary city services are in
place and adequate for the proposed usage.
5. The existing parking on the north property line will be used for the parking requirement. The
applicant being the owner of the parking will form a written agreement to dedicate three spaces
to be used for the proposed vacation rental. The applicant has operated the adjacent restaurant
for over 20 years and has never had a problem with insufficient parking for the restaurant .
Dedicating three space will have no adverse affect on the House of Thai. The three spaces will be
marked with signage and painted nomenclature for Siskiyou cottages only.
6. A sign 3 Ft. by 8 Inches mounted on two 4 by 4 securely placed in the ground will be placed on
the Siskiyou side (south) of the property. The sign will meet all city ordinances and will be
permitted. A similar sign will be placed at the North side of the property in front of the dedicated
parking spaces.
7. The entrance and exit to the proposed project will be off of Harmony Lane . There will be no
adverse affect on the traffic.
8. The present structure will have no structural changes. Repainting the exterior and landscaping
will be the only significant changes. The interior will have only cosmetic changes made and
therefore will not require a building permit.
9 . The applicant would ask that the development of the South side property to the required
sidewalk ordinance not be a required condition. The pedestrian traffic is virtually none existent.
Requiring a side walk development for the 60 foot frontage of this property would not correspond
with the adjacent properties east or west. There is an adequate well used path on the opposite
side of Siskiyou Blvd. which services the pedestrian traffic. The owner would be in favor of signing
for future development both on Siskiyou Blvd. and Harmony Lane.
10. There are no structural changes being made to the building. Nothing in the structure is
handicap user friendly. As a result requiring handicap access would not be of any benefit.
11. No trees are scheduled for removal . All existing trees have been worked into the
comprehensive landscape plan provided by Madara Designs Inc..
12. The unused curb cut will be replaced on Harmony Lane to comply with Access Management.
Lease agreement

Cottages to lease three parking spaces for the duration of time that
