PUBLIC HEARING
PA #82 -47
ORDINANCE VARIANCE
HOFFMAN
DESCRIPTION:
Planning Action #82 -47 is a request for an Ordinance Variance to construct a deck
around the existing swimming pool in the rear yard at 149 Alder Lane. The variance
is necessary to build the deck to the property lines in lieu of the 6 ft. required
on the west side property line and 10 ft. on the rear property Iine. Comprehensive
Plan Designation: Suburban Residential. Zoning: R -1 -7.5 (Single Family
Residential). Assessor's Map 4BB. Tax Lot: 2500.
APPLICANT: Jerome J. Hoffman.
STAFF REPORT
1) Jannusch read the staff report.
MINUTES
ASHLAND PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
July 21, 1982
2) Fregonese made two points. He noted that the variance criteria is specific in
the ordinance and states that extraordinary circumstances must exist for the
Commission to grant a request such as this. Staff did not recognize such circum-
stances in the findings and proposal submitted by the applicant. Secondly, he
noted that the pool, around which the deck would be constructed, was legally built
with the appropriate permits and its 3 -ft. setback is a permitted use since it is
considered an accessory structure. He then noted the definition of an accessory
structure from the ordinance. He stated that conditions existing at the site were
APC, 7/21/82, Page 1
self- imposed and not conditions the applicants had no control over.
3) Jannusch read a letter into the record from Mr. Mrs. J. Williams in
opposition to the variance request.
PUBLIC HEARING
1) Jerome Hoffman, applicant, spoke on behalf of his request. He noted, as had
been stated by the staff report, that there was a drainage ditch currently existing
around the pool. The deck would be necessary as a safety measure to keep people
from falling into the ditch. He noted that the deck would be constructed up to
pool height, which was 30 inches above the ground. He further noted that the deck
and people on it would not be seen from the neighbors' and thus would not interfere
with the neighbors' privacy since the fence was 6' -5" high. He stated that only
the guests in the fence secured yard would see the deck.
2) Alice Hoffman, co- applicant, spoke on behalf of her request. She stated that
those neighbors who had written a letter were objecting from anger. They and their
neighbors were not on speaking terms.
3) Owens asked whether the pool had been installed by the applicant. Mr. Hoffman
stated it had been installed by a contractor for him.
The public hearing was then closed
COMMISSION DISCUSSION AND MOTION
1) Reid pointed out that an individual standing on the deck could see over the
fence, thus infringing on the neighbors' privacy.
2) Mrs. Hoffman replied that they could see into the neighbor's yard from their
back porch already, and they had constructed a trellis and had planted vines on the
trellis to help block the view.
3) Reid continued by stating that pools should not be allowed in required setback
areas, since a logical location for any proposed deck would infringe further into
that setback area, as had been requested by the applicants.
9) Owens stated he agreed with staff, that the request is clearly against the
ordinance.
5) Fregonese pointed out that the alternative to granting the request contrary to
the ordinance would be to amend the ordinance so that it would permit such
construction within the setback area.
6) Apenes asked if it was okay to deck the pool on the other sides, which are not
within the setback areas. Fregonese stated that it would be appropriate to do
this
7) Hansen asked if there was just the one objection to this request. Fregonese
stated that there was only one objection, by the adjacent property owner. Hansen
further stated that she thought it would be proper to change the ordinance, but she
APC, 7/21/82, Page 2
felt there was no right to grant the variance at this point, contrary to the
ordinance that now exists.
8) Owens moved to deny PA #82 -47. Apenes seconded the motion, which passed
unanimously.
9) Mr. Hoffman asked for a clarification of the motion. Pugh stated the
Commission would be looking into the ordinance revision at another opportunity, but
at this point the application was denied.
10) Reid further stated that, since there was probably no other place for
construction of the pool within the backyard area, this could possibly constitute
an unusual circumstance, justifying the applicants' request.
PUBLIC HEARING
PA #82 -49
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SITE REVIEW
MELLEMA
DESCRIPTION:
Planning Action #82 -49 is a request for a Conditional Use Permit and Site Review
for construction of a rental center at 639 Tolman creek Rd. The center would
basically serve the needs of the homeowner and, in addition, the rental of some
equipment, trucks and trailers. Comprehensive Plan Designation: Retail
Commercial. Zoning: C -1 (Retail Commercial). Assessor's Map 14B. Tax Lot:
part of 700.
APPLICANT: Henry J. Mellema
STAFF REPORT:
1) Jannusch read the staff report.
2) At the conclusion of the staff report, Fregonese commented to the Commission
that it had previous objections to the construction of metal buildings within the
City, but since the applicant had made efforts to make the building architecturally
pleasing, and since it was located adjacent to the railroad tracks and behind Bi-
Mart, and since it would also be extensively landscaped, a metal building in this
location should not create undue negative impact in the area.
PUBLIC HEARING:
1) Henry Mellema, Auburn, California, the applicant, spoke on behalf of his
application. He noted that the area in back of the building at the site would not
be used for truck storage. He then noted that he has a franchise for Ryder trucks
and that at any given time there would probably be approximately 6 trucks, give or
take, stored in the area. He then praised the planning staff for their cooperation
and staff report.
The public hearing was then closed.
APC, 7/21/82, Page 3
COMMISSION DISCUSSION AND MOTION:
1) Pugh asked why the staff had recommended that the applicant use high pressure
sodium Lighting at the facility. Fregonese pointed out that this type of lighting
was energy- efficient and cost effective. He further stated that the applicant is
energy- conscious and that there will probably be solar applications on the
building, as well as extensive use of insulation in its construction. He further
noted that the City is converting all of its street lights to high pressure sodium
elements.
2) Apenes asked if there would be any problem with the exterior lighting
infringing on the residential properties in the adjacent areas. Fregonese pointed
out that it was probably 200 ft. to the nearest residential parcels and he felt
this distance would probably dissipate much of the lighting directed to the
residential cones. He did state, however, that it would probably be appropriate to
require that no lighting element be directly visible from adjacent residential
properties. He concluded by stating that the color of such lighting is on the
order of a peachy- white.
3) Hansen asked again how many trucks would be parked and what kinds they would
be. The applicant responded that the trucks are primarily homeowner rental trucks
used for moving personal belongings. He further noted that there would be some
trailers parked in the fenced, screened area.
4) After further discussion, Owens moved to approve PA #82 -49. Hansen seconded
the motion, which passed unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING
PA #82 -50
VARIANCE
MURPHY
DESCRIPTION:
Planning Action #82 -50 is a request for a Variance to construct a deck addition to
the existing residence at 1060 Emma St. The variance is necessary to build the
deck to the property line on the west in lieu of the 6 ft. as required by
ordinance. Comprehensive Plan Designation: Suburban Residential. Zoning: R -1 -10
(Single- Family Residential). Assessor's Map 16AD. Tax Lot: 2100.
APPLICANTS: Michael /Janet J. Murphy.
STAFF REPORT:
1) Jannusch read the staff report and noted that this request was similar to the
one previously reviewed by the Planning Commission for construction in the setback
area
APC, 7/21/82, Page 4
PUBLIC HEARING:
1) Michael Murphy, applicant, spoke on behalf of his proposal. He stated that
the topography of his property was steep. He circulated a plan with pictures
attached for the Commission to review. He stated the proposal was an effort to
correct the problem of deteriorating stairs which had been built many years ago.
He noted that the neighbors did not object and the proposed deck would be below the
grade of the adjacent neighbor's property. He then submitted a list of the
neighbors he had contacted who had stated support of his project. He then stated
that the Building Official was aware of his application and had no concerns with
the proposal.
2) Fregonese showed the Commission a plan which indicated the 6 -ft. setback line.
He further noted that a variance for 3 ft. from the side property line could be
granted as a Type I procedure permitting the deck and /or the stairway to be built
in this area.
3) Owens asked where the new deck and carport would be relative to the placement
of the old deck and carport. Murphy stated that the new carport would just be
replacing the old carport in the same location.
4) Fregonese again stated the alternative of permitting the applicant go build
within 3 ft. of the property line. Addressing the applicant's main request, he
noted the application goes beyond his minimum needs, that in order to repair the
pre existing problem area the applicant does not absolutely need to go to within 10
inches of the property line as he is requesting. Murphy reiterated that the deck
would be below the grade of the neighbor's property and asked again why the deck
would not be permitted, yet pea gravel or a slab would be.
5) Pugh asked for a clarification of a staff proposal to permit such construction
in setback areas where heights above grade are low. Jannusch pointed out that the
ordinance is specific in its definition of structures per se, and in order to
legally grant this request, a restructuring of the ordinance would be required.
6) Reid was concerned for the applicant about the usable outdoor living area that
she felt may not be utilized if this request was not granted. The neighbor
directly impacted by the proposal is 85 ft. away.
7) Owens responded by stating that, though the construction to within 10 inches
of the property line may be more attractive and more aesthetically pleasing, the
ordinance is definitely clear on building structures within the setback. Since no
structures were allowed in the setback area, the Planning Commission had no option
but to deny the request.
8) Fregonese pointed out to the Commission that they could modify the request at
this time and permit the application based on a setback of 3 ft. to the property
line. He noted that the findings relative to the neighboring structure being 85
ft. from the proposal was not a proper justification, since new construction on the
adjacent lot could subsequently take place and thus potentially be impacted. He
then noted that similar and lesser findings could be applied for the granting of a
Type I request relative to the 3 -ft. setback.
APC, 7/21/82, Page 5
9) Reid asked about a previous variance request that had been granted on Leonard
St. and how this particular request compared to the earlier request. Fregonese
pointed out that the Leonard St. request involved a front yard setback, based on a
substandard, pre existing front yard. In that case, the applicant had requested
that the deck be permitted to align with the front elevation of the house. Reid
again expressed her frustration with the application of the ordinance requirements
relative to this specific request.
The public hearing was then closed.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION AND MOTION:
1) Hansen noted that, though placement of the deck within 10 inches of the
property line may be more aesthetically pleasing, the granting of the request would
be illegal.
2) Apenes questioned the 25 -ft. figure expressed in the staff report. Jannusch
pointed out that the figure reflected the distance from the carport to the proposed
new line of the deck at the west property line.
3) Murphy pointed out that there would be a distance of 12 ft. to the top of the
first flight.
4) Apenes stated he agreed with Hansen, that it was not within the Planning
Commission's province to grant the variance without a change in the ordinance. He
felt, however, that the granting of the 3 -ft. setback would be a good compromise.
5) Reid again expressed concern about the best utilization of the property and
the privacy requested by the applicant. Fregonese empathized with this but stated
that the Commission should remain consistent with the granting of previous
proposals. He reiterated that a portion of the setback area could be used if
permitted by the Commission. This would be no different if the deck was at grade
level or a couple of feet above it. It was his opinion that all the space even up
to the property line could be utilized by the applicant, but not for deck
construction.
6) Owens reiterated that the consistency must be maintained as the ordinance is
written.
7) Apenes asked the applicant if he would go for 3 ft. from the property line.
Murphy stated that they would comply if the Commission so ordered.
8) Apenes moved to approve construction of the deck to within 3 ft. of the
property line. Hansen seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

PUBLIC HEARING
PA #82 -51
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
VAN LANDINGHAM DALKE
DESCRIPTION:
Planning Action #82 -51 is a request for a Conditional Use Permit for a seasonal
Saturday Market with temporary booths located in the parking lot behind and on the
west side of 346 E. Main St. Comprehensive Plan Designation: Downtown Commercial.
Zoning: C -2 (Downtown Commercial). Assessor's Map 9BD. Tax Lots: part of
6100 and 6200.
APPLICANTS: David Van Langingham and James Dalke
STAFF REPORT:
1) Fregonese read the staff report.
PUBLIC HEARING:
1) Dave Van Landingham, applicant, stated he would be willing to eliminate place-
ment of the booths in the granite surfaced parking area. He stated, however, that
he would still like to maintain a minimum of 36 booths. He noted he has talked
with Oeser Fabrics regarding their objections expressed specifically about parking
and litter control. He added that he runs a lemonade stand and is part owner of
the Sweet Shoppe, and this visibility in the community would ensure his
availability for complaints and his guarantee that the operation would be main-
tained in a neat and tidy manner. He then submitted a list of those businesses in
the area expressing approval for his proposal. He stated he is interested in
promoting foot traffic and generating more milling around in the downtown. He
noted, as an aside, that he would like to propose a second location next year, once
he uses this location as a test to determine the feasibility and success of future
locations. He then cited some figures generated by the Portland Saturday Market.
In 1981, with 350 booths, the Saturday Market in Portland generated 83 million in
revenues. He stated that in booth fees alone, i.e., the registration for each
individual booth, 8300,000 was generated. The business community in Portland is
supportive of their Saturday Market. Relative to this request, he stated he needs
a minimum of 30 -36 booths and a certain number is required to generate public
interest. Van Landingham noted that he is donating 4 booths as nonprofit spaces.
He noted further that driveways would be kept open and picnic tables would be
provided for eating at the site. There are 25 potential craft vendors currently
proposed for the Saturday Market. He concluded by noting that Elliott Reinert of
the Chamber had visited the Eugene Saturday Market and is supportive of this
particular proposal.
2) Fregonese expressed concern about signs proposed on the grounds. He stated
that the booths could have signs as long as they are not oriented to Second or East
Main Streets. In addition, a banner would not be permitted for the project, except
for its grand opening. He stated, however, that a permanent ground sign could be
constructed at the site advertising the facility. Appropriate permits would be
required for the construction of the ground sign.
APC, 7/21/82, Page 7
3) Van Landingham noted that, though his initial plan is to run through the
summer, he is considering running the market around Christmastime as well.
4) JoAnn Eggers, 221 Granite, stated she was in favor of the request. As a
potter, she would be participating in the Saturday Market.
5) Bush Hayden, 85 Winburn Way, spoke in opposition to the proposal. He stated
that food booths were almost impossible to control and quality suffers without
appropriate controls on food dispensing. He stated that each winter, 3 -5
restaurants go out of business, and he wondered if permitting a Saturday Market
would add competition to the currently precarious economic picture of restaurants
and other businesses in Ashland. Although he felt that the Saturday Market theme
is a picturesque idea, craftspeople have a sufficient marketplace through the
existing merchants for the display and sale of their wares. He reiterated that
this would create undue competition for the already struggling merchants in
Ashland.
6) Bud LeFever, Greenmeadows Way, was concerned about the competition being
created by this proposal. He raised the question as to whether or not those
individuals selling wares and food at the Saturday Market were Ashland taxpayers.
He stated he would not like to see this Saturday Market turn into a mini San
Francisco.
7) Van Landingham stated that, in terms of controls for the dispensing of food,
food booths would have Health Dept. inspections, thus ensuring the quality of the
food. He further stated he would be selling ice cream and Geppetto's will be
selling produce.
The public hearing was then closed.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION AND MOTION:
1) Pugh asked Van Langingham how much resale was anticipated for the proposal.
Van Landingham stated that, except for the buoyant balloon section, all items sold
would be craft items, thus not creating a flea market atmosphere.
2) Hansen was concerned about maintaining a clean and litter -free operation.
Fregonese responded by stating that the applicant would be required to maintain a
clean operation, subject to Planning Commission approval. If there were any
problems generated from this, these problems could be addressed the following year
when the applicant's renewal came due. Pugh agreed, and stated that he felt it was
good that there was one person in control of the project. If there were any
problems down the line, the accountability for maintaining an orderly operation
would be on that individual.
3) Apenes asked what the Historic Commission had to say about this proposal.
Jannusch stated that the Historic Commission had approved the request, but they
wanted to see any signs proposed at the Iocation.
4) Van Landingham noted CPAC's support for the project.
5) Reid noted that she had previously worked in a downtown business which had
APC, 7/21/82, Page 8
wonderful products to sell but no traffic. She stated it had probably been the
1 most frustrating job she'd ever had. In response to concerns expressed about
competition from the Saturday Market, she stated she felt that any competition
would be outweighed by the support of the additionally generated foot traffic. She
stated that if there were no people downtown, no products can be sold.
6) Owens moved to approve PA #82 -51 subject to staff's recommendations. Reid
seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING
PA #82 -52
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
SLOATMAN BREAKEY
DESCRIPTION:
Planning Action #82 -52 is a request for a Conditional Use Permit for the seasonal
use of a portable push -cart to sell fresh fruit smoothies. The cart is to be
located on weekdays in the alcove of the Varsity Theatre, 116 E. Main St., and in
the parking lot of I -Deal Used Furniture, 374 E. Main St., on weekends. Comprehen-
sive Plan Designation: Downtown Commercial. Zoning: C -2 (Downtown Commercial).
Assessor's Map 9BC. Tax Lot: 500.
APPLICANTS: Ann Sloatman and Jeff Breakey.
STAFF REPORT:
1) Jannusch read the staff report and noted that the weekend location had been
withdrawn.
2) Pugh asked if the proposal would be located on private property. Fregonese
stated yes, that it would be the same as the lemonade stand at Rare Earth. He then
noted that the sign proposed for the smoothie cart should be located on the front
of the stand, and not above it as proposed by the applicants, such that the sign
would not exceed 5 ft. above grade.
PUBLIC HEARING:
1) Ann Sloatman, co- applicant, stated she would comply with staff's
recommendations, and the placement of the sign on the front of the cart would pose
no problem.
2) Dave Van Langingham stated he was in support of the proposal, and thought it
was a great idea as long as it was controlled.
3) Jannusch noted that the Historic Commission had given its approval to the
stand and CPAC was also in favor.
4) Bush Hayden was in opposition to this proposal as well. He noted there was a
proliferation of push -carts in Salem and it has become a real problem there. He
stated that the hot dog carts in Medford are waiting in the wings to be located in
APC, 7/21/82, Page 9
Ashland. He felt that before too long there would be these kinds of carts all over
town. He felt it was really tacky and did not like it.
5) Van Landingham stated that, since this was a Conditional Use process, the
Planning Commission had control over this kind of thing. Since Ashland is unique,
it has control and scrutiny over such proposals.
6) Bud LeFever, spoke in opposition to the proposal. He wondered where this type
of proliferation would stop. He felt that any precedent established by the
granting of this request would subsequently come back to haunt the Planning
Commission.
7) Hayden concurred with LeFever.
8) Sloatman reiterated that the Planning Commission has the authority to say no
to subsequent proposals that do not meet their criteria.
9) LeFever stated that he had thought of the idea before and he may do it again
and how many others would want to start a similar business.
The public hearing was then closed.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION AND MOTION:
1) To put things into perspective, Reid wondered if the same things were said
when the first retail stores were opened up in close proximity to residential
properties. She felt that the market could protect people's interests, and good
taste would determine what sells.
2) Owens noted that this proposal seemed acceptable, and future projects would be
judged on their own merits.
3) Hansen agreed.
4) Apenes wondered how many millionaires had started off pushing carts.
5) Reid moved to approve PA #82 -52 subject to the conditions suggested by staff.
Hansen seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
TYPE I APPROVALS
1) Planning Action #82 -07, an extension of time limit on approval of construction
of a 4 -plex at 268 Hersey St.; applicant: W.R. Welch. The request for an
extension was approved.
2) Planning Action #82 -90, an extension of time limit on approval of a 6 -unit PUD
on Jacquelyn St.; applicant: Don Ballew. The extension was approved.
3) Planning Action #82-48, a Minor Land Partition and Site Review to divide the
parcel at 2270 Highway 66, west of Western Bank, and construct a Pizza Hut
APC, 7/21/82, Page 10
Restaurant; applicant: Summit Investments.
Dick Hawkins, contractor for the applicant, stated that the roofing material
originally proposed for the project would not be red, but would in fact be a shake
roof, but the color of the building would still be a light grey or soft white.
Cedar trim would also be utilized extensively on the body of the building.
Fregonese explained the plans to the Commission, noting the landscaped areas
proposed. He also noted the 20 -ft. setback was being maintained on Highway 66,
which had in fact been in effect for the past few years.
Reid expressed concern about the proper placement of landscaping for the project,
noting that great care had been taken to ensure that the Taco Bell project was
adequately landscaped from the front, and ample screening had been provided from
Highway 66, but the back of the structure, with the exposed mechanical devices and
service entrance, were unattractive.
Fregonese pointed out that some landscaping was being provided on this project
around the service entrance. He also noted that mechanical devices were being
screened from the rear. He further noted on the plans exhibited that the pizza man
on the elevations and the signs indicated on the roof would not be utilized at this
site.
Hawkins noted that he had just received word from Pizza Hut management that the
chain link fence with slats originally proposed at the back of the project would be
replaced by a cedar fence.
The application was approved subject to the findings and conditions established by
staff.
STAFF BUSINESS
Fregonese explained to the Planning Commission staff's intent for developing the
maps for the rezoning of the South Ashland area. The first meeting to cover this
area would be held July 28.
Pugh noted to the Commission that he is involved in a push -cart business located in
Portland. After further discussion, staff was directed to contact the cities of
Portland, Eugene and Salem in efforts to establish a policy regulating push -cart
businesses in the City of Ashland.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 PM.
