PLANNING ACTION: 2011-01080
SUBJECT PROPERTY. 66 Scenic
APPLICANT: Robyn Forsyth
DESCRIPTION: A request for a Conditional Use Permit approval for the living space below a garage
to be converted to an Accessory Residential Unit located at 66 Scenic Drive. The garage and living
space is currently under construction.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Single Family Residential
ZONING: R-1-7.5; ASSESSOR'S MAP : 39 lE 08AD TAX LOT: 2400
SUBMITTAL DATE: August 8, 2011
DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: August 18, 2011
STAFF APPROVAL DATE: September 7, 2011
FINAL DECISION DATE: September 20, 2011
APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: September 20, 2012
DECISION
The subject property is located at the east side of Scenic Drive, and is zoned R-1-7.5, Single-Family
Residential. The lot is approximately 16,500 square feet in area and is rectangular in shape. The parcel
has an average downward slope of approximately 23 percent to the east. The parcel and surrounding
properties are zoned R-1-7.5. The lot is approximately 7,500 square feet larger than required by the
zone.
There is an existing circa 1980, 1,744 square foot single-story home with daylight basement that is
placed roughly in the middle of the lot. The parcel is within the Skidmore Academy Historic District,
the home on this parcel being a 1980s "contemporary" is classified as non-historic;non-contributing in
the City of Ashland Historic District registry. The applicant had begun construction of the garage with
living space below and decided to apply for the Conditional Use Permit for the Accessory Residential
Unit (ARU) prior to getting to far into the construction where modifications would be more costly.
The proposed ARU will have 484 square feet of living area below a 484 square foot two vehicle
garage. Accessory residential units are limited in size to a maximum on-half of the gross habitable
floor area of the primary residence or maximum of 1,000 square feet,the proposed ARU complies with
this requirement. The proposed ARU meets the parking requirement with one on-street parking credit
as there are 68-feet of uninterrupted street frontage along Scenic Drive. The two-vehicle garage will
provide two off-street parking spaces for the primary residence. The proposed unit also complies with
setbacks and the allowed lot coverage for the zone.
The unit is proposed to be a small daylight basement below the new"contemporary" garage which is
architecturally compatible to the primary residence. As the parcel is large enough to conceivably
divide,the addition of the unit will not have a significant impact on the generation of traffic more than
a new single family residence would. The unit is also located approximately a mile from public transit,
bike routes, and restaurants and shopping. The development of this unit will not have an impact on the
future uses of adjacent parcels.

66 Scenic Dr./adg
Page 1
Utilities, including water and sanitary sewer are in place and available to service the new unit. The
applicant has proposed to upgrade the electric facilities serving the parcel and will provide a new
service for the unit. Scenic Drive is classified as a neighborhood collector with intermittent sidewalks
and no bike lanes. No improvements to the public infrastructure are proposed nor will they be required.
The current landscape is a mixture of mature trees and little yard area.
Staff believes that the unit will fit within the property and the surrounding uses and is permitted by
ordinance. Since the parcel is large enough to potentially subdivide, the addition of the ARU will not
have a significant impact on the adjacent uses and will have less of an impact than a new single family
home and developable lot would.
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 an Accessory Residential Unit are described in AMC Chapter 18.20.030.H, as follows:
H. Accessory residential units, subject to the Type I procedure and criteria, and the following
additional criteria.
1. The proposal must conform with the overall maximum lot coverage and setback
requirements of the underlying zone.
2. The maximum number of dwelling units shall not exceed 2 per lot.
3. The maximum gross habitable floor area (GHFA) of the accessory residential structure
shall not exceed 50% of the GHFA of the primary residence on the lot, and shall not
exceed 1000 sq.ft. GHFA.
PA 2011-01080

4. Additional parking shall be in conformance with the off-street Parking provisions for
single-family dwellings of this Title.
The application with the attached conditions complies with all applicable City ordinances.
Planning Action 2011-01080 is approved with the following conditions. Further,if any one or more of
the following conditions are found to be invalid for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action
2011-01080 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 plans submitted for the building permit shall be in substantial conformance with those
approved as part of this application. If the plans submitted for the building permit are not in
substantial conformance with those approved as part of this application, an application to modify
this Conditional Use Permit approval shall be submitted and approved prior to issuance of a
building permit.
6) That prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy:
a) That the System Development Charges for the ARU shall be paid to the Community
Development Department.
b) That a separate, electric service and meter for the accessory residential unit shall be installed in
accordance with Ashland Electric Department requirements prior to issuance of the certificate
of occupancy.
c) That a separate address for the accessory residential units shall be applied for approved by the
City of Ashland Engineering Division. Addressing shall meet the requirements of the Ashland
Fire Department.

Re: Conditional Use Permit application for a 484 sq.ft.,one bedroom accessory
residence at 66 Scenic Dr.Ashland,OR 97520
To Whom It May Concern;
We are applying for this conditional use permit so that we may set up the building for
flexible use in the future.It is not our intention to use this building for anything other than a
home office,but we are trying to do as much forward thinking as possible during
construction to ensure that we,or future owners,have a well thought-out home that can
accommodate the numerous and ever changing needs of life.
Findings:
18.104
Architectural compatibility:The unit has been professionally designed by the Architect
Richard Wagner to achieve unity with the existing structure and the surrounding
neighborhood.This unit has also been reviewed by the Historic Committee and received
very positive and favorable marks. Both interior and exterior materials were selected to
match as closely as possible that of the original home. The accessory building is
approximately half the size of the existing home and is very complimentary from the street.
Due to the change in elevation of the property,the lower level will be virtually obscured
from view as the grade drops off to the east,away from Scenic Drive.
Environmental disturbance:The unit design has employed modern and environmentally
conscious systems choices wherever possible.The heating and cooling will be provided by
internal wall mounted,high efficiency units reducing noise pollution.
The living space for the unit is below street level and faces east away from the street so the
noise,and light of the building will be virtually undetectable.
i
Target use:The lot parcel is approx. 16,000sgf. Conceivable enough for two single family
residences and the traffic that goes with it.The proposed unit will only increase the
habitable space enough to accommodate one more person,which would be a significantly
smaller impact on the surrounding community than another second single family dwelling.
City Facilities: It has been established that there is adequate capacity for the required water,
sewage and electricity.
Storm drainage:The water drainage has been accounted for and will be pumped to the
street as per code.
I
Separate Electrical service:The Contractor Gary Dorris (Dorris Construction)has already
communicated extensively with Dave Tygerson of the Electrical Department regarding the
separation of the accessory unit electrical service.Dave and Gary have devised a plan for

providing this service that will meet both the City's requirements and the needs of the
dwelling.
Access:The Proposed unit will use the existing driveway for vehicular access and the
current stairs will accommodate pedestrian traffic to and from the unit.There will be no
need for additional access.
Parking:Any extra parking required or needed for the 500 sq.ft.accessory unit will be
easily facilitated by the more than 45 feet of un-interrupted street frontage in addition to
the large existing double entrance driveway.There is a two-car garage,currently under
construction,which will actually reduce demand on street parking,more than offsetting any
additional pressure on street parking requirements.
Tree Preservation/protection:There are no trees being disturbed for the construction of
the proposed accessory building.
Street tree:The lot frontage has a number of existing mature oak trees.They will be
undisturbed and well maintained.
Landscaping:The property will exceed the 65%requirement for natural landscape material.
The areas that are being modified by the build will be landscaped with emphasis on native
shrubbery.
18:20
Lot coverage and setbacks:The accessory building has met all lot coverage and setback
requirements.The total building lot coverage is 2186sgf plus a total of 1160sgf of non
pervious paving.This equates to 3296sgf or 20% of the lot,which is well within code for
the zone. (See approved drawings for this address,dated 15 july 2011,permit number Bd-
2011-00802)
There will only be two buildings on the property; The primary residence and the accessory
building.
i
Habitual floor area:The unit's gross habitual floor area is 484sgf which is approx.25% of
the primary residence. j
The unit is in conformance with the off street parking provisions.
I
18:72 -All parts from the code have been or will be met.
Sincerely,
Robyn Forsyth,Owner
