existing private driveway of a width not less than 20 feet. A private drive shall not serve more than four dwelling units unless the parcels, on which those units are proposed to be placed, were established with the approval of the Marion County Planning Commission or Hearings Officer in accordance with State law and Marion County Ordinances, prior to May 1, 1977, or were approved under Chapter 121, Planned Development. Under MCSPO VII6(b): When an access easement or access ownership less than 60 feet in width and more than 100 feet in length is to serve two or more lots in any partitioning, the location and improvement of the roadway access shall conform to the following standards which are necessary for adequate access for emergency vehicles. Evidence that the access has been improved to these standards shall be provided prior to the issuance of building permits on the parcels served by the access easement. (a) Have a minimum easement width of 20 feet; (b) Have a maximum grade of 15%; (c) Be improved with a paved surface inside an urban growth boundary and an all-weather surface in rural areas with a minimum width of 12 feet in either case; (d) Provide adequate sight-distance at intersections with public roadways; (e) Be provided with a road ngme sign at the public roadway as an identification for emergency vehicles. The Salem Suburban Fire District has stricter 20' improvement and 12% requirements, along with turning radius, turnaround and premises identification standards. Parcel 1 access. Access to parcel 1 is proposed via access easement over parcel 84W24C 500 and applicant's neighboring property that is proposed for partitioning (84W24C 903). There seems to be no question about applicant's right to use the undeveloped easement for access to parcel 1. The issue appears to be whether the easement can be adequately developed.
