A 3. Surrounding properties to the east and south are zoned RS and consist of a residential subdivision. Properties to the west and north are zone UD (URBAN DEVELOPMENT) and contain single family dwellings. 4. The applicant proposes to divide a 14,995 square foot parcel into two parcels containing 8,845 square feet and 6,110 square feet each. The applicant indicates that access to the larger lot containing the existing dwelling will be via Leafwood Avenue while the smaller parcel will access Hollywood Drive. 5. Marion County Department of Public Works reviewed the proposal and provided the following comment: "Approval of the proposed partition will create an additional home site on the subject property resulting in additional traffic on Hollywood Dr. The following requirements address impacts created by approval of the proposed partition: 1. Hollywood Dr is designated a collector by the Salem Transportation Plan which requires a right of way width of 60 -ft. Presently the half width is 30 -ft so it meets this requirement. 2. Developer will be required to complete the curb and sidewalk adjacent to the property. 3. The property is less than a half -acre in size so storm water detention will not be required. However we do want to review a site drainage plan that demonstrates that development of the property will not have a negative impact on the area drainage. Prior to plat approval, the applicant shall provide a storm drainage plan for the site that addresses drainage issues. 4. The subject property is within the unincorporated urban growth boundary area of the City of Salem. Transportation and Parks Systems Development Charges shall be assessed upon development of the home on the newly created parcel, at the time of application for building permits. 5. A driveway permit will be required for the new access to Hollywood Dr. Through the building permit process, the applicant shall be required to apply for a driveway permit. 6. Construction of improvements on the property shall not block historical or naturally occurring runoff from adjacent properties. Site grading shall not impact surrounding properties in a negative manner. "
