Marion County Surveyor's Office indicates that parcels 10 acres and less must be surveyed. Per ORS 92.050, a Plat must be submitted for review along with required fees and a Plant service report and/or title report. Marion County Fire District No. 1 indicates that the proposal must meet their requirements for fire hydrant and water flow per Oregon Fire Code. In addition, their requirements for addressing and fire apparatus access must be satisfied. All other contacted agencies either failed to comment, or stated no objection to the proposal, at the time this report was written. 6. The following regulations apply when lot line adjustments and/or partitioning of land regulated by the Subdivision and Partition Ordinance are proposed in a RS zone: (a) Lot Area: The minimum lot area for a single family dwelling in a subdivision approved after the effective date of the Ordinance, or a mobile home on a mobile home subdivision lot approved after the effective date of this ordinance, is 4,000 square feet when located within the Salem/Keizer Area Urban Growth Boundary. In all other cases lots shall be a minimum of 6,000 square feet. (See Chapter 27 for density limitations). (b) Lot dimensions, single family: Except as provided in Section 26.800 for Planned Developments, the average width of a lot shall be at least 60 feet; provided that within the Salem/Keizer Urban Growth Boundary the average width of a lot shall be at least 40 feet, and the average depth of a lot shall be at least 70 feet. (c) Lot dimensions, other uses: The average width of a lot shall be at least 40 feet, and the average depth of a lot shall be at least 80 feet, except as provided in Section 26.800 for Planned Developments. The proposed lots exceed the 6,000 square foot minimum required for single family dwellings. The proposed parcels are at least 40 feet wide and over 90 feet deep. The standards in 6 (a), (b), and (c) are satisfied. 8. Although the proposed partition can satisfy the requirements for lot size and dimension in the RS zone, the subject property is a lot in Woodleaf Estates Subdivision (SUB01-1), and is subject to the conditions of approval for that subdivision. In SUB01-1, the applicant proposed to divide 3.08 acres in 18 lots including an L-shaped (flag) lot in the location of the smaller of proposed lots in this application. After conducting a public hearing the Marion County Board of Commissioners (BOC) issued an order granting approval to subdivide the subject property into 16 lots subject to meeting certain conditions. Condition of approval #8 prohibits direct access onto Hollywood Drive for any dwelling in the subdivision and condition #9 specifically required removal of the proposed flag lot. Since this proposal fails to satisfy the conditions of approval in the BOC order approving the subdivision, this request must be DENIED.
