FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: The findings and conclusions on which the Planning Director based the decision are noted below. The Comprehensive Plan designation for the subject property is Rural Residential. The parcel is zoned AR (Acreage Residential) under the jurisdiction of Marion County. The intent of the AR zone is to provide rural homesites without exceeding the environmental and service capability of the area. The property is located at 11971 Irish Glen Lane, at the end of Irish Glen Lane, offof Anderson Road west of Sublimity. Currently, the property contains a 1971 single-family dwelling with a shop in the rear. The parcel is a legally created parcel for land use purposes. The subject property is Parcel m of Partition Plat 87-19. The Planning application, Partition 87-19, was approved by the Planning Director on August 11, 1987. The surrounding area to the north and east is zoned Exclusive Farm Use (EFU) and contains medium to large farm parcels. The area to the west and south is zoned AR and consists of rural single-family dwellings and small farms. The subject property is in a Sensitive Groundwater Overlay Zone 6. The applicant submitted a Water Use Inventory with the application that states that the current build-out in the area is below the maximum build-out threshold, and the creation of the two extra parcels will not impact the availability of groundwater in the area. No further evidence needs to be provided to show that the requirements for a partition in the SGO-6 zone can meet the criteria for a partition. However, the at the time the property owners establish a dwelling on the newly created parcels they should submit a declaratory statement acknowledging that they are in the Sensitive Ground Water Overlay zone and that ground water may be limited. The applicants propose to divide a 9.77-acm parcel into three parcels containing two parcels of two acres and one parcel or 5.77 acres. The existing dwelling will occupy the eastern parcel (Parcel I) of two acres. Parcel II is the center parcel of 5.77 acres and the western parcel, Parcel III, would be two acres.
