COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Low Density Multi- Family Residential; ZONING: R-2; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 lE 09BD TAX LOTS: 9800 SUBMITTAL DATE: July 5, 2013 DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: July 19, 2013 STAFF APPROVAL DATE: August 16, 2013 FINAL DECISION DATE: September 2, 2013 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: September 2, 2014 DECISION The subject property is located south of Beach Avenue, a one-way street between Hargadine and Vista Streets west of Gresham Street. The parcel is trapezoid shaped and is approximately 6,970 square feet in area. The property has a Beach Avenue frontage of 461/2 feet and is 135-feet, 2-inches deep. The parcel is zoned Low Density Multi-Family Residential, R-2. The, adjacent properties to the north, east and west are also zoned R-2. The subject property has a circa 1900 built single family home on the property. According to the Historic Resources Inventory, the residence is considered a Historic Contributing. No changes to the existing residence are proposed. The parcel is classified as Hillside Lands because portions of the property and along the front of the property, between the street and the residence are slopes of 25 percent and greater. The applicant is requesting a Physical Constraints Review Permit to modify the stairway and retaining walls between the residence and the street. The parcel slopes steeply from Beach Ave. uphill towards the residence. The slope of the property ranges between relatively flat where the residence is located to well over 35 percent. The front of the property has had significant modifications to the slope over the years. There was a small retaining wall along the front of the property adjacent to Beach Ave. likely matching the sandstone wall on the adjacent property. At some point in the past, two larger retaining walls were installed, cutting the hill back to create a small parking area. The proposal is to modify the retaining walls to provide an off-street vehicle parking space that is completely out of the Beach Ave. right-of-way and construct a new entry stair from the street level up to the residence. The proposed retaining walls are, to constructed of both versa lock block and split face, stacked block. The walls are different type due to amount of surcharge behind the wall and so that the new walls are consistent in design with the existing walls. The applicant has provided an Engineering Report addressing the suitability of the site for construction and making recommendations on site preparation, foundation construction, soil retention, and erosion control. The retaining wall heights comply with design standards for hillside land as required in Section 18.62 of the Land Use Ordinance. The utilities, water, sewer and electric currently serve and will continue to serve the property. There will be no increase in capacity of the facilities. PA 2013-00986 6 Beach Ave./adg Page 1 The site is non-conforming in the sense that no off-street parking has historically been provided. Ove the years the property owners have parked with a portion of their vehicle into the street. The current property owners are seeking to modify the slope, create a better entry stair with a landing and provide vehicle parking spaces off of the street. The applicant has proposed a general revegation plan for the areas between the walls. There is an approximately 10-inch in diameter at breast height tree which the applicants have proposed protection for. Overall, the proposed retaining walls comply with the Physical and Environmental Constraints criteria for hillside development. The criteria for a Physical Constraints Review Permit are described in AMC Chapter 18.62.040.1, as follows: 1. That the development will not cause damage or hazard to persons or property upon or adjacent to the area of development. 2. That the applicant has considered the potential hazards that the development may create and implemented reasonable measures to mitigate the potential hazards caused by the development. 3. That the applicant has taken all reasonable steps to reduce the adverse impact on the environment. Irreversible actions shall be considered more seriously than reversible actions. The Staff Advisor or Planning Commission shall consider the existing development of the surrounding area, and the maximum permitted developmentpermitted by the Land Use Ordinance. 4. That the development is in compliance with the requirements of the chapter and all other applicable City Ordinances and Codes. The application with the attached conditions complies with all applicable City ordinances. Planning Action 2013-00986 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 2013-00986 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 approval shall be submitted and approved prior to issuance of a building permit. 3) That all recommendations of the Engineers Report, shall be instituted in the development of the property. 4) That building permit submittals shall include: a) The plans for the retaining walls, must be designed by an architect or engineer with geotechnical experience as required by Section 18.62.080.F. 5) That prior to the issuance of a building permit: b) Tree protection measures and erosion control measures shall be installed according to the approved plan, inspected, and approved by the Staff Advisor. No site work including any storage of materials shall occur prior to completion of a Tree Protection Verification Permit inspection. PA 2013-00986 6 Beach Ave./adg Page 2 6) That prior to the final building permit inspections: a) The landscaping and irrigation for re-vegetation of cut/fill slopes and erosion control shall be installed in accordance with the approved plan prior to final building inspection. Vegetation shall be installed in such a manner as to be substantially established within one year of i ation.

SUI;MI t ?Id! 7/05/2013 ACCESS PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICLE ACCESS IS LIMITED TO THE PROPERTY'S BEACH AVENUE STREET FRONTAGE, 56 FEET. THERE IS NO PEDESTRIAN OR VEHICLE ACCESS TO THE REAR YARD TO THE SOUTH. VEHICLE ACCESS IS FURTHER RESTRICTED TO A WESTWARD APPROACH DOWN BEACH AVE. BEACH AVE. IS A ONE-WAY STREET THAT BEGINS AT ITS INTERSECTION WITH GRESHAM AND TERMINATES AT ITS INTERSECTION WITH HARGADINE. BEACH AVE. HAS NO SIDEWALKS NOR DOES IT HAVE ANY ON-STREET PARKING AVAILABILITY. LANDFORM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS 46'-6" WIDE, 135'-2" LONG ON THE EAST PROPERTY LINE, AND 169' ON THE WEST. THE MAIN RESIDENCE LIES 10'-5" FROM THE EAST PROPERTY LINE AND 8'-3" FROM THE WEST. THERE IS ONE 10" D.B.H. TREE, OREGON MYRTLE, LOCATED WITHIN 15 FEET OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. THE PROPERTY SLOPES DOWN TO THE NORTH/NE WHERE IT TERMINATES AT BEACH AVE. THE SLOPE IS LEAST TOWARD THE EAST AND MOST TO THE WEST. A 4'-6" RETAINING WALL LIES ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER AND AN 8'-0" RETAINING WALL ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER. THE ADJOINING PROPERTIES TO THE EAST AND WEST ARE SIMILARLY BOUND AT BEACH AVE. BY A 4-5 FOOT TALL RETAINING WALL ALONG THEIR PROPERTY LINES. THE RETAINING WALLS EXISTING ON THE PROPERTY ARE SPLIT FACED STACKED BLOCK ALONG BEACH AVE. AND A VERSA-LOK STYLE BLOCK SUPPORTING TERRACED AREAS. A RELATIVELY NEW RETAINING WALL USING A VERSA-LOK STYLE BLOCK SEPARATES THE NEIGHBOR TO THE EAST FROM BEACH AVE. THE ADJACENT PROPERTY TO THE WEST HAS A QUITE OLD SAND STONE BLOCK RETAINING WALL AS A BOUNDARY TO BEACH AVE. PROJECT DESCRIPTION DESIGN THE OWNER'S OF THE PROPERTY WISH TO RECONFIGURE THE ENTRY STAIR THAT LEADS FROM BEACH AVE. TO THEIR HOME. DESIGN EFFORTS HAVE APPROACHED THIS GOAL IN SEVERAL WAYS TO FIND A SOLUTION THAT MINIMIZES CUTS AND FILLS, MAXIMIZES VEHICLE AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESS, REDUCES VISUAL BULK AND IS SENSITIVE TO THE HISTORIC CHARACTER OF THE PROXIMATE AREA. THE PROPOSED ENTRY STAIR LIES IN THE NORTHEAST PORTION OF THE SITE. THIS CHOICE IS DUE TO THE STEEPNESS OF SLOPES ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY AND THE REDUCTION OF AN ALREADY LIMITED OFF-STREET PARKING SITUATION CREATED BY A CENTERED APPROACH TO ENTRY.

THE RETAINING WALL TO THE EAST WILL MATCH THE BLOCK TYPE AND HEIGHT OF THE EXISTING AT BEACH AVE. THIS WALL WILL TERMINATE AT A PILLAR THAT MARKS THE STARTING POINT OF THE CONCRETE RETAINING WALLS SUPPORTING THE STAIR. THESE CONCRETE WALLS WILL RAKE UP a6" ABOVE GRADE UNTIL MATCHING GRADE AT THE BASE OF THE HISTORIC STAIR LEADING TO THE PORCH. THE LOW BLOCK RETAINING WALL TO WEST WILL BEGIN AT THE CURRENT INTERSECTION OF THE EXISTING TERRACED VERSA-LOK TYPE WALLS AND EXTEND EAST MAINTAINING A 3'-6" OFFSET FROM THE HIGH BLOCK WALL PER CODE. THIS WALL WILL TERMINATE AT THE WESTERN PILLAR. FINDINGS INTRODUCTION THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS HAVE BEEN RESEARCHED AND ASSEMBLED BASED ON A PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE ON APRIL 3RD, 2013 THAT CONSIDERED A PROPOSAL MUCH MORE INVOLVED THAN THE CURRENT PROPOSAL. THE PREVIOUS PROPOSAL REQUESTED SEVERAL ITEMS THAT ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO THE PRESENT REQUEST. THE PREVIOUS CONCEPT INVOLVED A ONE CAR GARAGE WHERE IT WAS NECESSARY TO PROPOSE RETAINING WALLS HIGHER THAN 7 FEET, DEVELOPMENT IN AN AREA WITH SLOPE >35%, AND VARIANCES TO THE FRONT AND SIDE YARD SETBACK REQUIREMENTS. THE SCOPE OF THE DEVELOPMENT HAS SCALED BACK SIGNIFICANTLY. AT PRESENT, ALL CONCRETE AND BLOCK RETAINING WALLS ARE <7' TALL PER CODE, DESIGNED BY AN ENGINEER WITH DEMONSTRATABLE GEOTECHNICAL EXPERTISE, AND DESIGNATED TO MATCH THE PLANE OF THE EXISTING WALL ADJOING THE PROPERTY TO THE EAST. BEYOND MATCHING THE ESTABLISHED PLANE MENTIONED ABOVE, THE CONCRETE WALL NEAREST A SIDE YARD WILL NOT EXCEED 30" ABOVE GRADE AND HAS BEEN GIVEN AMPLE ROOM FOR CUT SLOPE ANGLES THAT ENSURE THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY WILL NOT BE DISTURBED DURING EXCAVATION AND SHORING EFFORTS.
