The Maple has been approved for removal and replacement as the applicant has stated, however the Cedar is not approved for removal at this time. The first request if for a half-dead Maple located in parking lot number 36, at the northwest intersection of South Mountain and Ashland Street. The tree was originally required to be kept as part of the parking lot acquisition in 1987 (P A# 87-087). A site visit by staff and the Tree Commission has confirmed that the tree is in fact diseased and damaged, and removal and replacement is the best course of action. The applicant has indicated that the tree will be replaced by either a Japanese Zelkova, Chineese Pistache, or a Tulip Tree. A condition of approval will be for the applicant to notify the Planning Division with the final choice of replacement tree before removal begins. The second tree removal request is for a Deodara Cedar located at the south end of the athletic fields, adjacent to the Facilities Maintenance and Planning building at 351 Walker Street. The request was to remove the tree due to sap dripping onto cars and is leaning towards the parking lot. The applicant had not clearly indicated on their submittal materials that the tree is considered a hazard, and therefore had not included documentation supporting removal of the tree, but had recommended that a Golden Rain tree be planted in the Cedar's place, a little further out from the fence. The Tree Commission felt that the Cedar tree was not hazardous to the point to warrant removal, and therefore, the Tree Commission has recommended denial. Staff made two attempts to contact the applicant to submit additional supportive information regarding the tree's removal request, but have not received an answer. In addition, the applicant had chosen to forgo further completeness review at the time of submittal materials, and the application was deemed complete minus an arborist report. In summary, staff believes that the removal of the Maple will not have significant negative impact on erosion, tree densities, or species diversity in the area where the Maple currently is placed. However removal ofthe Cedar could be detrimental to existing windbreaks and protection of adjacent trees. P A #2010-01596 495 S. Mountain/351 Walker Ave /MP Page I The criteria for a Tree Removal Permit are described in AMC Chapter 18.61.080, as follows: An applicant for a Tree Removal Permit shall demonstrate that the following criteria are satisfied The Staff Advisor may require an arborist's report to substantiate the criteriafor a permit. B. Tree that is Not a Hazard: The City shall issue a tree removal permit for a tree that is not a hazard if the applicant demonstrates all of the following: 1. The tree is proposedfor removal in order to permit the application to be consistent with other applicable Ashland Land Use Ordinance requirements and standards. (e.g. other applicable Site Design and Use Standards). The Staff Advisor may require the building footprint of the development to be staked to allow for accurate verification of the permit application; and 2. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on erosion, soil stability, flow of surface waters, protection of adjacent trees, or existing windbreaks,' and 3. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on the tree densities, sizes, canopies, and species diversity within 200 feet of the subject property. The application with the attached conditions complies with all applicable City ordinances. Planning Action 20 I 0-01596 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 2010- 01596 is denied. The following are the conditions and they are attached to the approval: 1) That all recommendations of the Ashland Tree Commission, where consistent with the applicable ordinances and standards and with final approval of the Staff Advisor, shall be conditions of approval unless otherwise modified herein. 2) That the applicant chose an appropriate replacement tree for the Maple being removed, and that the size will equal or exceed the removed tree size and stature at maturity, and shall be planted within a minimum of 180 days of this approval.

The Staff Advisor may require an arborist's report to substantiate the criteria for a permit. A. Hazard Tree: The Staff Advisor shall issue a tree removal permit for a hazard tree if the applicant demonstrates that a tree is a hazard and warrants removal. 1. A hazard tree is a tree that is physically damaged to the degree that it is clear that it is likely to fall and injure persons or property. A hazard tree may also include a tree that is located within public rights of way and is causing damage to existing public or private facilities or services and such facilities or services cannot be relocated or the damage alleviated. The applicant must demonstrate that the condition or location of the tree presents a clear public safety hazard or a foreseeable danger of property damage to an existing structure and such hazard or danger cannot reasonably be alleviated by treatment or pruning. 2. The City may require the applicant to mitigate for the removal of each hazard tree pursuant to AMC 18.61.084. Such mitigation requirements shall be a condition of approval of the permit. B. Tree that is Not a Hazard: The City shall issue a tree removal permit for a tree that is not a hazard if the applicant demonstrates all of the following: 1. The tree is proposed for removal in order to permit the application to be consistent with other applicable Ashland Land Use Ordinance requirements and standards, including but not limited to applicable Site Design and Use Standards and Physical and Environmental Constraints. The Staff Advisor may require the building footprint of the development to be staked to allow for accurate verification of the permit application; and 2. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on erosion, soil stability, flow of surface waters, protection of adjacent trees, or existing windbreaks; and 3. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on the tree densities, sizes, canopies, and species diversity within 200 feet of the subject property. The City shall grant an exception to this criterion when alternatives to the tree removal have been considered and no reasonable alternative exists to allow the property to be used as permitted in the zone. Nothing in this section shall require that the residential density be reduced below the permitted density allowed by the zone. In making this determination, the City may consider alternative site plans or placement of structures or alternate landscaping designs that would lessen the impact on trees, so long as the alternatives continue to comply with other provisions of the Ashland Land Use Ordinance. 4. The City shall require the applicant to mitigate for the removal of each tree granted approval pursuant to AMC 18.61.084. Such mitigation requirements shall be a condition of approval of the permit.

Mountain and 351 Walker. 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. The following items should be addressed by November 19,2010, if the application is to be included on the December 4th, 2010 Tree Commission agenda. 1. Written Narrative - Written findings that specifically address the approval criteria for a hazard tree removal in accordance with 18.61.080. Trees less than 18" DBH located in the SO zone are exempt from tree removal. However, from a site visit it appears that both trees identified on the plan are greater than 18" and require a tree removal permit. 2. Tree Identification - The submitted site plan did not clearly identify the trees to be removed, especially the one at 3 51 Walker St. It was difficult for staff to locate the tree in question on a site visit. . To continue 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. 1 Community Development Dept. 20 E.

I had something come up Yesterday. K. >>> "Michael Pina" <pinam@ashland.or.us> 10/26/20102:39 PM >>> I'm not quite sure what you mean by "grandfathered" in this case. The Planning Action (87-087_ states, that a minium of 1 tree be planted per 10 parking spaces is required. I'm not saying that you are not abiding my the conditions, just that there was a PA for the lot, and therefore the tree has to be replaced, which you already proposed to do, so that's great. But i'm still a little confused. Are you still going to provide me a written narrative indicating the size of both trees?

Kathi >>> "Michael Pina" <pinam@ashland.or,us> 10/25/201011:15 AM >>> Kathi, I have checked our code and 18.61.035.E states that removal of trees less than 18" DBH on any public lands and SOU are exempt from a tree removal permit. The only exception is that the one at 495 S. Mountain was processed through a planning action (87-087) and i tree per 10 parking spaces were required per that action, so that may necessitate a review Michael Piila, Assistant Planner City of Ashland, Planning Division 20 East Main Street, Ashland OR 97520 https://zimbra.ashland.or.us/zimbra/h/printmessage?id=3050 12/23/2010 I I~' "",-' ~~:.
