FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: The findings and conclusions on which the Director based his decision are noted below. 1. The subject properties are located within the Salem Area Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and designated Single Family Residential in the Comprehensive Plan. The primary intent of this designation is to provide suitable land for residential development. 2. The properties are located one lot south and one lot east of the intersection of Reimann Street and Haysville Drive NE. The 7,705 square foot parcel fronting on Haysville Drive contains a dwelling while the 11,328 square foot parcel is undeveloped. Properties on all sides of the subject parcels are designated for residential development and are either developed with dwellings or are available for development. 4. The Marion County Tax Department noted that all current property taxes have not been paid in full and that a potential additional tax liability may exist which may need to be paid before an adjustment would be approved. According to ORS 92.095, all delinquent taxes and interest as well as taxes which have become a lien during the tax year must be paid before the lot line adjustment is finalized. The Marion County Surveyor noted that a survey is not required but a property line adjustment deed will have to be recorded with the County Clerk. The City of Salem noted that one of the proposed lots is undeveloped and contains an accessory structure. According to City standards, that lot is deemed nonconforming. The proposed lot line adjustment does not provide a remedy to the non-conformance, although does not appear to make the non-conformance any greater.
