Notification 72 hours prior to the meeting will enable the City to make CITY OF ASHLAND Draft ASHLAND HISTORIC COMMISSION Minutes February 4, 2004 CALL TO ORDER At 7:07 p.m., Chairperson Dale Shostrom called the meeting to order in the Siskiyou Room, located in the Community Development/Engineering Services Building at 51 Winbum Way. In addition to Shostrom, members present were Alex Krech, Joanne Kdppaehne, Robert Saladoff, Terry Skibby, Tom Giordano and Keith Swink. Also present were Associate Planner Mark Knox, City Council Liaison John Morrison (who left shortly after the meeting started) and Secretary $onja Akerman. Members Jay Leighton and Sam Whitford were unable to attend the meeting. There are no youth liaisons assigned to the Histodc Commission. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Krach moved to approve the January 7, 2003 minutes as submitted. With a second by Swink, the motion was approved with all voting aye except Giordano, who abstained because he was absent at the January meeting. Krippaehne noted she had not received her packet for the meeting. PUBLIC HEARING Planning Action 2004-017 Site Review 364 Hargadine Street Ken Kolar Site visits were made by Krach, Skibby, Shostrem and Giordano. Knox explained the applicant is preposing to demolish an existing shed and in its place construct a second dwelling unit (357 square feet) over a new single car garage. The project complies with the maximum house size ordinance. In addition, the applicants intend to eventually restore the existing house and replace its metal roof in order to upgrade the entire site. Shostrom asked if the square footage would be counted on the detached building for the maximum house size and Knox said it would, however, only the habitable space would count, not the garage~ Skibby stated that designer Mark Reitinger had come to the Review Board and mentioned work that was planned on the existing house. He requested clarification on the scope of this application. Knox responded this only entails the new structure; however, the applicant's findings indicate the metal roof will be replaced with composition reofing material. In addition, Knox stated any building permits taken out for the existing home will go before the Review Board. Discussion ensued regarding maximum square footage. Knox cladfied this is an R-2 zone and the habitable square footage of the second unit counts in overall square footage. There was no one present who wished to speak either for against this application so Shostrom closed the public hearing. Skibby noted that the existing shed is not special and the new structure will look nice. Giordano agreed and said he likes small separate spaces such as this and it will be appropriate for the neighborhood. Ashland Historic Commission Minutes February 4, 2004 CiTY OF -ASHLAND While Shostrom felt the size of the proposed building is good, he was bothered by the fact that there is no sense of entry on the south elevation. Giordano agreed and also noted the door with sidelights seemed large and out of proportion. Shostrom suggested removing the sidelights adjacent to the glazed door and adding windows on either side of the door. Skibby moved and Giordano seconded to recommend approval of this application with the conditions that a covered entry be added to the south elevation in order to create a sense of entry, and the door area be reduced by at least one sidelight (option would be a single door with side windows). Also requested is that the applicant and/or designer come to the Review Board to discuss the size of the door, the windows and the covered entry. Krippaehne asked about the history of why the Commission recommends against using metal roofs. Skibby stated it is generally a roofing matedal that was rere in Ashland on residential structures. It was more prevalent on industrial buildings. Shostrom added that standing seam metal roofs seem dramatically contemporary for him. Corrugated metal roofs were more typical, as Skibby noted, on industrial or commercial buildings. Giordano noted that corrugated roofs work in certain cases, for example on the Ashland Food Co-op. The motion passed with a unanimous voice vote. Planning Action 2003-126 Outline Plan and Site Review 954 "B" Street Archerd/Dresner, LLC Giordano cited a conflict of interest because he has been involved with the adjacent property and neighborhood meetings that include this project. At this time, he left for the evening. All remaining Commissioners reported site visits except Kdppaehne. Knox explained this project is a 13-unit Planned Unit Development, which involves the construction of three two- story buildings, each housing four units. Each building will compdse a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom unit in each story and each building will be on a separate lot. The one-half acre lot has an existing home that will also be on a separate tax lot. The house is in the process of being restored. Because this is an odd shaped parcel, it has been a difficult site to plan. By working with Staff and neighbors, however, the developers have come up with a good plan. Parking will be off the ddveway that will connect "B" Street with Eureka Street and also be used by the adjacent property when it is developed. The new buildings will all have the same designed but will have different orientations. Knox stated since this application is for Outline Plan Approval, more detail on roof pitch, materials, etc. will be forthcoming during the Final Plan Approval stage. Saladoff asked if there will be common space for the buildings even though there will be four different ownerships. Knox replied there will technically be five lots - the existing house, the three new buildings and the open space. Each building will be built to the lot line, thus the term "zero lot line". He also noted three out of the four units in each building will be rentals. Skibby asked how the buildings would be oriented on the property. Swink stated that even though the rooflines of the buildings are the same, they will appear to be different because each will have a different orientation. Evan Archerd1120 North Second Street stated this is a good example of a collaborative effort involving the developers, Planning Department and neighbors. One of their main objectives was to create rental housing. The existing house is in the process of being restored. All non-appropriate additions were removed and a master bedroom and bathroom have been added to the rear of the home. The small four-plexes will look like houses. Window trim, roof details and siding will all mimic the existing house. He noted the existing house will have a little more yard, but the rest of the units will all have common yards that will be managed by a homeowner's association. Archerd maintained they have ended up with a better project because of the efforts of all involved. Shostrom asked about the computerized drawing elevations and was told by Archerd they did not depict what would be built. The hand drawn rendering, however, is very close to how the buildings will look. Archerd also Ashland Historic Commission Minutes February 4, 2004 1~11111' CITY OF SHLAND stated that although he doesn't know what the exact product will be yet, they will be using lap siding. In addition, his intention is to match all the tdm detail, which will be crown molding with a tail protruding under the sill. Shostrem then asked if the pitch of the roofline could be steeper but Archerd cited there might be solar problems. He would, nonetheless, like to make the pitch as steep as possible. He will use 40-year architectural roof shingles and either single or double hung windows. Shostrom commended Archerd for the work he is doing on the existing house. Kdppaehne said she agrees with Shostrom's comment about the roof pitch. She asked Knox if a Solar Waiver would be possible and he replied it could be possible, perhaps with more seParation between the buildings. Archerd responded there would be difficulties with separating the buildings even more. As it is, this project has been a balandng act. Given the ordinances that apply today, solar issues apply differently to PUDs. Knox added that in some cases, people are encouraged to ask for waivers in order to make a more compatible design work. If the applicant chooses to request a waiver, it can be processed dudng the Final Plan Approval. Shostrom related that while the building elevations look good, there is not much natural light in three out of the four units in the living/dining areas. He suggested changing the floor plans and moving the stairwell to the middle of the buildings in order to give more light to the units. This would not only hide the stairwells, but also give a more histodc look to the buildings. Archerd agreed the units should have more natural light and said this will be worked out as the actual floor plans develop. Shostrom opened the public hearing. Amy Korth stated she is the daughter of Sally Crumme, who owns the adjacent property and has been working with Giordano on plans for developing her site. Korth said she looks forward to the changes on both properties. As there was no one else to speak about this planning action, Shostrom closed the public hearing. Skibby noted this design is better than what was originally presented to the Review Board. It is a good-sized lot and the buildings will be spread out. Since more details will be presented during the next phase, he feels comfortable with the project thus far. Krippaehne conveyed she also likes the site plan. The developers are puffing a lot on the site but it doesn't feel crowded. In addition, there will be plenty of parking on the east side of the property, leaving more area for the amenity of open space. Swink agreed with Shostrom about bringing the stairs more to the center, which will also further break up the design and roofline of the buildings. He conveyed he was impressed with the homes on Ninth Street Alley and appreciated the various rooflines and individuality of the homes, allowing them to fit in more with the neighborhood. This concept will be aChieved on the proposed buildings by breaking them up and orienting them differently. He also stated the value of rental units. Saladoff agreed with Shostrem that the living room spaces need more light. Moving the stairwell to the center is a great way to open up additional facades for more windows. It would also interrupt the horizontal band to break up the surface rather than have all four sides the same. Shostrom added that paint colors can also be used effectively in breaking up the surfaces. Shostrom moved to recommend approval of this application to the Planning Commission with the following conditions: 1) the materials match the existing house, 2) increase the roof pitches if solar can be worked out, and 3) explore the possibility of moving the stairwells to the interiorto create more light wells. Krach seconded the motion and it passed with all voting aye. Ashland Historic Commission Minutes February 4, 2004 CiTY OF SHLAND ITEMS NOT ON AGENDA Changes to 180 Lithia Way - Architect Jerome White handed out elevations that highlighted changes being proposed for the new building under construction. The first change would be to use a stone veneer rather than a pre-cast base for the building. The second change would be to use picture windows with sliders above instead of double hung windows side by side. The reason the window change is being requested is to differentiate between the commercial and residential stodes of the building. White presented a sample of the stone veneer and three bdcks ranging in color from light to a darker color of mauve. The proposal is to use a random mix of the three bdck colors on the building. The same hues that are in the bdcks are in the stone veneer. The rest of the building will be stucco as originally proposed. The horizontal bands of bdcks will be one color. Shostrom expressed his hesitancy in using the random mix and suggested putting up a 6' x 6' area to see what it would look like before committing to the mix. Kdppaehne asked how the stone veneer would be treated at the comers. White said they would probably be mitered in order to give the appearance of real stone. Archerd added the mortar joints would probably be one- half inch. Shostrom stated he was nervous that the veneer would not give the feel of a strong enough base. Archerd said he would have the stone cut as large as possible so the base would be'architecturally heavy enough. A dear consensus was not reached on the bdcks and the base. Archerd will put up the bdcks in a test area that will be at least six feet by six feet. When asked what type of windows would be used, White stated the front and side ones would be wood clad. The windows in the back will be vinyl, matching the colors as closely as possible. Archerd and White then presented elevations of the proposed building for Phase 2. It will be built to the west of the building currently being constructed and will be set back 12 feet. The 12-foot setback will provide a plaza area in front of the building that will have a small amount of landscaping. White said this is in the pre-application stage so they just wanted feedback on the direction the design should go. They would like to tie in some elements of the main building but not make it identical. Archerd explained the windows are different because the uses are different. The top two floors on the Phase 2 building will be residential. Shostrom first suggested making the smaller building look similar enough that it resembles a wing of the main building. However, after discussing this, he suggested and others agreed the building would look better if the design was totally different, including the base. White confirmed the building currently under construction is 68 feet and the new one will be 44 feet. Chan.qe to 142 East Main Street- Because of a building code issue, Knox stated the architect is recommending to change the windows from two double hung side-by-side windows to four fixed windows on the proposed building to the rear of Earthly Goods. This is fine with the Commission.

National Histodc Preservation Week ~ May 3 - 9, 2004 w New Frontiers in Preservation - The Commission decided to meet pdor to the regularly scheduled monthly meeting in March in order to go through the nominations and vote on which ones should receive awards. For this purpose, the members will meet from 5:00 to 7:00 on March 3. They will also talk about the theme (New Frontiers in Preservation) and decide where the award ceremony should be held. Kdppaehne stated this will be an opportunity to float new ideas to get out on peoples' radar screens. She mentioned more attention is now being paid to historic landscapes (Lithia Spdngs property, for example), and disaster planning and management (which could be tied into histodc renovations and seismic upgrades). Possible National Reqister Nomination for Lithia Spdn.qs Property - Jim Lewis, Ashland Parks Commission, reported the Ashland Gun Club has requested an extension be granted on its leaSe until 2029. Lewis invited the members to offer input at'the February 23, 2004 meeting. Several members voiced concem and stated they would attend the meeting. Staff will make sure the necessary information regarding the property is included in the Parks Commission packets. At 10:00, Skibby moved to extend the meeting until 10:30. With a second by Kdppaehne, the motion was unanimously passed. ANOTHERITEMNOTONAGENDA Knox passed around a letter from Management Analyst Ann Seltzer apologizing for not getting input from the Commission prior to ordering new awnings for the City Hall. He also showed them a sample of the color that she had chosen. ANNOUNCEMENTS Knox announced the Oregon Hedtage Commission will be holding its conference May 6m through 8m in Ashland this year. Many of the events can be tied into National Histodc Preservation Week. He urged all to attend some of the sessions. ADJOURNMENT It was the unanimous decision of the Commission to adjourn the meeting at 10:20 p.m. Ashland Historfc Commission Minutes February 4, 2004 5 0 > rn '13 r- 0 Z Z Z Z Z Z Z ~ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Z ~ _o r ~ 0 z ~ '0 m z z o o >o <> ~ m~ m ~ m ~ c ~ rn 'TI m p ~ 0 0 0 0 0 0 east of the road to Winburn Camp, (approximately one quarter of a mile north of the Winburn Cabin Site), consists of approximately 100 cans (including canned milk and lard cans), a stoneware enamel pan, a plain whtteware ceramic cup and plate, stovepipe, individual bed springs, and stove parts. The dump is not in a pit; the site covers approximately 12 m . Although not directly associated with the Wizlburn Cabin Site, the density of the garbage suggests that this site may reflect disposal during use of the Winburn Cabin Site. Also located on the Wtnburn Camp property is a trail which begins at the Winburn Cabin Site and traverses through the southern portion of the property (Figure 1). Although this trail was not evident in the area of the Winburn Cabin Site, it was plainly visible south of Weasel Creek, where the trail had been cut into the steep slopes. The 'trail is not maintained (fallen trees cross the path), but 'does appear to still be used. Brown, circle-type insulators and sections of telephone wire are visible along the trail. According to LaLande (personal communication, 1987),' this trail first appears on Forest Service maps in 1908, and thus pre-dates Forest Service construction. The trail was' probably locally deve!oped to provide access to Wagner Butte and into the Little Applegate. River'drainage. The trail continues to be shown on Forest Service maps through -the years, and a map dated 1922 shows a 'telephone line to the lookout built on Wagner Butte during the World War I era. A map dated'1963 no longer shows the telephone line, although maps to the present time continue to show the trail location. The trail is designated by the Forest Service as Number 965. LITHI~ SPRINGS PROPERT~ Site ASLS ~1,. 28 acres in size, includes 14 features which reflect various stages of use of the Ltthia Springs property (except for the' current use by the Ashland Gun Club). The site is located in the SER of the SE~ of Section 12, T39S~ R1E, %~f, and the SPR of the SPR of Section 7, T39S, R2E, WM, mostly on the alluvial terrace (Figure 2). This.site was difficult to record because of the amount of alteration to the property that. has taken place since the first Euro-American development in 1907, and because of the tremendous amount of debris scattered across the terrace. The 1~ features we recorded represent the major features found on the property; Figure 12 illustrates the location of each feature (also shown are wells drilled by the City). Feature 1 is a hiStoric garbage dUmp Situated adjacent to Emigrant Creek, and beside a large, rock outcrop (Figure 12). The dump is fairly extensive in density and .size; it measures approximately 20x2 m, with.hundreds of items present. The site 'apparently is still periodically used, as aluminum and plastic items are common. 'The site has been looted, as small bottles have been pulled from the' dump and aligned on the rock outcrop. Features 2, 3, and 10 are similar to each other in appearance. These features are concrete monoliths, measuring .130x130 cm and approximately four meters hi~h, with three holes located in the sides. One side has two holes: one 15 cm in diameter located 20 cm above the ground, and the other seven centimeters in diameter, approximately three meters above the ground. The opposite side 28 ./ NORTH 785.0' 1030.0' $68. C o N N · 0 .~ has a hole identical to the seven centimeter:hole, .but does not have the lower hole. 'All have' bolts or bolt holes around the circumference. According to Silvers (Appendix D), these features were associated with the production o£ C02 for the Liquid Carbonic Company prior to 19'29. "' Enclosed concrete structures measuring 130x360 cs, and 50 cm hi~h, comprise features 4, 5, and 8; features 4 and 8 have partially collapsed sides or tops, revealing ~hat the inside is hollow, with concrete baffles extending partially across the structure from alternating sides. These features probably served the same purpose as features 2, 3, and 10. Feature 5 also includes the pump (currently in use) which pumps Lt~hia Water to 'the City of Ashland; the pump and concrete structure are adjacent to each o~her. Feature 6 is the concrete foundation of ~he ice. factory, which was built in 1944. The foundation measures 10.7x12.2 m. This feature is located on a low bench above and overlooking the alluvial terrace. Feature 7 is an angular concrete wall, measuring 11.7x9.9 m long and approximately one meter' ht~h; the wall is formed by ~wo straight sections meeting at 'an angle of approximately 150'. Bud Silvers states that this was a retaining wall built by his ~randfather (Harry Silvers) to divert Emigrant Creek and expose Ltthia Springs; this Wall also supported the' bottling works struck-ute (Appendix D). ' FeatUre 9 and 11 are bo~h flat concrete slabs; Feature 9 measures 9.1x6.1 m (and appears to be of relatively recent vintage) while Feature 11 measures 11.3x9.1 m. · , The re. mains, of the 'Pompadour Chief' cons'tit'utes Feature 12. This tRa ~_nc.r.e_n.e. su.?.errane._an bathhouse.type structure, wi~h ste s lead .~ o~,uu~ure remains. The feature is divided into ~wo rooms, separated by a door and a low windo~.; tke. top of the window is arched, and the words 'Pompadour Chief' .are carve~ tnt:~' ~he arch (Figure 13). This feature measures 9.?x4.8 m. Feature 13 is a rock pile measuring approximately 3x4 m, 'and 40 cm high, located in a shallow draw on the hillside approximately 30 m in elevation above the alluvial terrace. The rocks have not Been piled long, as lichens are still evident under some .of the rocks. Feature 14 consists of a steel bridge across Emi§rant Creek, a concrete pumphouse, and a retaining wall (Figure 14). The steel bridge, 1.5 m wide and approximately 30 m long, allowed pedestrian traffic across Emigrant Cr&ek; the wooden footpath across the bridge no longer remains. .The concrete pumphouse, situated adjacent to the bridge and ~m~ediately south of Emigrant Creek, measures 4x4 m. This structure has one door (facing south), and no windows. The feature area has been built up 'by fill, which is held in place by a retaining wall. This wall is most evident along Emigrant .Greek, where =he wall prevents' erosion of the feature area. A concrete stairway leads down to the creek (through the retaining wall) just east of-the pumphouse. According to Bud SilVers (Appendix D), this is. t/ae location of the City Spring ori~inally on the }turphy property. The pumphouse supplied the Lithia %later to 3O Figure 13. The Pompadour Chief'as it Appears in 1987. View to the North. Figure 14. The City Springs Pumphouse, Steel Bridge over Emigrant Creek, and Retaining Wall; View to the East. 31 the various fountains in Ashland. The fill was. added to keep the area above Emigrant Creek. No prehistoric archaeological sites, were located during the survey of either property. A cryptocrystalline silica (CCS) flake was observed .on the Lithia Spring property, but close inspection of the immediately surrounding area failed to reveal any other evidence of a site. This isolated flake was just above a road cut; it is possible that the flake was brought in with road gravels. A second CCS Chunk with slightly rounded edges was observed in alluvial gravels; this chunks appears to have washed in with the other alluvially deposited rock. ¢iven the historically .reported aboriginal use of mineral springs in the area, and the reported recovery of a prehistoric artifact at the springs by a city worker, it was anticipated prior to beginning the survey that a prehistoric site would be located in this area. There are t~o possible reasons for failure to observe such a site. First, the site may not have actually been · used aboriginally, although the recovery of the large prehistoric blade would appear to refute this idea (it is possible, however, that aboriginal use of the ar~a was so light that there remains little evidence)' Second (and most plausible), the historic fill over the alluvial terrace may have covered any site manifestations. .This possibility is 'supPorted by the-recovery of the artifact by the city worker, who found the blade within a trench. If this is the case, a buried site may exist. Due to the rugged terrain and poor surface visibility, there was a low likelihood of discovering a prehistoric site on the Winburn Cabin property. Ctven the presence of prehistoric sites in the surrounding area,, the Winburn Camp property' may have been aboriginally utilized for hunting and gathering, but such activities leave little evidence of. use. Because of the steep slopes, the only area suitable for oc~upatiOn was. the terra.ce area at the confluence of l~easel Creek and the %~es.t. .-Fork of Ashland Creek, this area was closely scrutinized (particularly a11' ro~'t throws and the open meadow area) and no site observed., RECOMMENDATIONS The purpose of this project was to provide information allowing the City of Ashland to manage the cultural resources on the ~inburn Camp and Lfthia Springs properties; the management plan for any particular cultural resource depends to a great extent on the significance .of the resource. The si~nlficance of a cultural resource ..is usually measured against the criteria for the National Register of Historic 'Piaces (hereafter referred to as the National Register), as defined in the Code of Federal Regulations (36CFR60.~) These criteria are as follows':· The quality of significance in ~Unerican-history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structureS, and objects that possesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials, .workmanship, feeling, and association and 32 (a) Chat are assocSated with events that' made a broad significant ~e~o~n~r}b_~u_~o_n.~ .~e ~.road ~atte~ of our histo~, or (b) that are o~ co~=~=ion or · . ....... - ....
