Planning Staff

Dick WanderscheidRevised Verde Village Condition

After discussing the Verde Village Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy systemswith Christopher Dymond ofthe Oregon Department ofEnergy the Conservation Staffwould like torevise the condition we proposed as a condition ofapproval ofthe project Recognizing that it isn tfeasible to install a 3 kW PV system on the smaller homes and cottages we feel that the followingcondition is more appropriate

That each home that would be built to the standards encompassed in the applicant s Exhibit K be

provided with aPV system that is either 3 kW s in size or produces 15 kWh s I Sq FtI Yr whichever isless and also be provided with enough available south facing unshaded roofspace to double the size ofthe PV system

This revised condition should ensure that these homes will be outfitted with a reasonably sized system atconstruction but would also allow future owners the opportunity to increase the system size in the futureif they so desire Also this condition can easily be quantified and enforced by the City uponconstruction ofthis development

language to address most ofthe issues and concerns presented

1 Several typographical errors were discovered and will be corrected2 It was agreed and understood that the order set forth in Section 16 is

generally correct and follows a logical progression ofrequired approvals Theagreement does not expressly mandate the order specified be followed exactlyas it is only alist ofapprovals required Certain orders and dates are specifiedin Special condition 2 and the timetable of development for the projectPhysical construction ofPhase 1 cannot occur prior to Federal State and

County approval ofthe land exchange among other things11 13 07 Davis letter 16A

3 It was agreed and understood that the timetable ofdevelopment requirescompletion ofthe multi use path bya date certain Section 16 item 16 doesnot impact this requirement The Development Agreement already providesflexibility as regards the completion date with an allowance for 12 monthinternal timetable amendment consistent with outline plan amendment

procedures Ifthe Owner would like to convey the recreation parcel to theCity concluding the land exchange prior to construction of the multi use

path improvement then the improvement and restoration will need tobesecured with acontract and security instrument consistent with the timetableofdevelopment Language will be adjusted to address this issue11 13 07 Davis letter 16 B

amendmentsSection 16 is only a list ofapprovals required generally in logical orderWhile actual closing ofthe exchange may be delayed to accommodateconstruction ofpublic improvements without bonding physical constructiondoes not occur until federal state and county approval ofthe land exchangeThe project is not designed to go forward with a discrete phase one if the

MariaI wouldlike to clarify a few things about the Verde Village project as it

pertains to the affordable housing in the development Before I begin I would liketo say what a wonderful oppcrtunity this is for Rogue Valley COC ourclientsand for ourcommunity To be in a position to provide 15 affordable homeownership opportunities for the community is awonderful thiug We are verypleased and honored that the Williamses are intending todonate land to ourlllglU i7ationand thankful that the City of Ashland supports affordable housingIwould like to address a few items that have come up in the publicmeetings with the PI nni8Commission and the CityCouncil

First is the issueofspreading the affORlable units throughout thedevelopment Since we are r1anni8 use a Land Trust to keep the homesaffordable for 99 years it is easier ifwe can group the homes all together Alsosince we arebuilding these with sweat equity in a Mutual SclfHelp program it ismuch more logics1 tokeep the houses close to one another We also aretrying todesign integrated units that will assist each other in keeping the energy usage to aminimum So I would like to see all the homes stay together in the development

Secondly Iwould like to ask that we are not required to put playgroundequipment on the open space that will be near the townhouses The liabilitypotential is too great for us tohave apublic playground onthe property

Lastly I would like toclarify our position on net zero energy for theaffordable hOllsing part ofthis development We intend to buildthese homes to beas energy efficient as we possibly can but we don tfeel that we should be held toanything but code for energy efficiency The most important thiug we can dowhen building affordable housing is keep it affordable With that in mind we

always buildwell insulated smaller energy efficienthomes with low flowplumbing fixtures and eneJgy star appliances so our fiunilies can afford theirutilities and weplan to go even further with these homes

If this project is approved we will immediately sign Solare Arohitectureand 18 nering to design our townhouses They will be designed tobe as greenas possible but we don tknow ifwe can afford the photovo1taic and other costlysystems required tomake them net zero We are looking at writinggnmts tohelp fund green engineered systems for water and energy but they are notaguanmtee Atthe very least we will design the building to be easily upgradeablein the future We just don twanttojeopardize the affordabi1ity ofthe homes withanet zero energy s1aDdard applied to the affordable homes

Thank you forall ofyour hard work on this project I lookfurward toseeing you onthe 21f RECEIVED

David Chapman DavidChapman@AshlandHome net 11 07 07 10 52 AMHello Risa

During the process of a Council decision on a land use issue we allneed equal accass to information and that controlled in part by thedisclosures of ex parte contacts The content of your note and myresponse needs to be included in the record so I am going to copyRichard Appicallo and Martha Bennett

Risa Buck is a member of our Conservation Commission and I am itscurrent Chair

You can tell from the above that we can not talk about the specificsof this project However in general the Council is very Interested insustainability issues We all have some holes in our knowledge but I amconfident that we will be able to discover what we need to know duringthe procass in order to make our decisions

We and the Planning Commission will need to do some exploringbefore we tackle the comprehensive plan As a start ns about time forthe Conservation Commission to address the Council We could take a lookat what should be presented

Thanks Rise for your observationsDavid

Mr Mayor and City Councilors

I intended to deliver the enclosed testimony during the public hearingportion ofthe Nov 6 council meeting but as you will recall most publiccomment was postponed until the Nov 20 meeting I cannot attend that

meeting so I am submitting mycomments in writing Thank you in advancefor giving my remarks your attentin and considerationThank you

7Tom Pyle

Good evening

My name is Tom Pyle My wife and I live at 2298 Camp Baker Road just outside

Phoenix I know you would prefer to hear from Ashland residents so I would open by

saying that changing our address to one in Ashland is very high on our list ofgoals for

the near future

My wife and I moved to Ashland in 1969 and raised our family here before

moving to our current home 30 years later We moved to the country because we thoughtwe wanted a taste of rural life the chance to have some open space abig garden and so

on

After eight years of an endless cycle of watering mowing and weeding I can

truly say rural life doesn ttaste all that great tome

I miss Ashland I was actively involved in community affairs while living here

and remain so concerned about the welfare of the city that I still watch the city council

planning commission and parks commission meetings on TV I think that says somethingabout my state of mind nowadays

My wife and I feel Verde Village would be an ideal place for us to live

We are both retired and on what amounts to fixed incomes Verde Village would

provide housing that is both affordable and suited to our preferred style oflivingsmaller houses on smaller lots with smaller gardens meaning less watering and fewer

weeds Also we would be within walking distance of our son and his family and

downtown Ashland as well as the dog park and bike path which we already use quiteoften

Community development staff conducted an exhaustive and very thorough review

ofthe Verde Village project and all its complexities The planning commission then

scrutinized the application and endorsed it by a near unanimous vote

It is my hope that the council will direct its attention to the major issues of

annexation zoning change and land exchange and save itself the trouble of delving into

all the details staff and the planning commission have already dealt with

As a former Ashland parks and recreation commission member and chair I have a

special interest in the proposed land swap and extension of the multi use path In my

opinion the city and its parks system would come out way ahead in the deal

The current parks and recreation commission has also enthusiastically endorsed

the land swap and long sought improvements to the multi use path This is one ofthose

everybody wins scenarios that we all hope for but rarely see actually happen

Also very rarely seen is aproject designed with so many energy and water

efficient attributes

Verde Village is a textbook example of the right way to go about building a

project the community can be enormously proud of

I hope you will give it your unequivocal endorsement so that it may soon become

areality
