upon development of the homes on the newly created parcels at the time of application for building permits. 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." 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 Tax Department indicates that any delinquent taxes and interest as well as any taxes which have become a lien during the tax year must be paid prior to a partition plat being recorded.

Chapter 181 of the MCRZO establishes provisions for partitioning property in a SGO zone. In the SGO-5 zone the threshold parcel size is five acres. In this instance the average parcel size is less than 5 acres, therefore, a water use inventory was conducted for this proposal on December 20, 2002. The inventory results were adequate to satisfy the requirements outlined in Chapter 181 of the MCRZO, and no further study is required. Although no additional study is necessary, the County requires a Declaratory Statement be recorded with the property deed.

A peer review of the Assessment concluded the following: "The conclusions and recommendations stated in the report are reasonable a and supported by the site data and conditions. The report states that the site conditions will not adversely impact or preclude the partition and anticipated residential construction on either of the site sections provided that a design specific geotechnical evaluation be prepared for the sites"
