The full comments can be reviewed in the planning file. 8. Marion County Department of Public Works Land Development and Engineering reviewed the proposal and provided the following comments. “Approval of the proposed development would allow the subject property to be divided into six parcels, with a dwelling on each parcel, resulting in approximately 60 additional daily trips on Wiltsey Street and other roads in the area. Comments are based on this level of development; changes in development level may result in changes in requirements and/or mitigation measures. The Public Works Engineering Division has the following comments, recommendations, and requirements for this case: S TREETS In accordance with the Rural Zoning Ordinance of Marion County, Oregon, the applicant would be required to dedicate sufficient right-of-way on the plat to provide standard public dedicated right-of- way width (or half-width as appropriate) along Wiltsey Street. Any dedications shall be to the public, not Marion County. Additional width shall be provided if necessary to allow any cut or fill slopes, or roadside ditches, to be within the right-of-way. If this development proceeds, prior to plat approval the developer will be required to improve their frontage of Wiltsey Street to County standards as directed by the Public Works Department. This is anticipated to include gravel shoulders, vegetation clearing, slope work, drainage work, and may include some paving. Due to the steep slopes in the area, it will be difficult to find a safe location for access to the subject property. It will be necessary to construct a safe driveway for development to be allowable. Prior to plat approval, the developer will need to obtain Public Works approval of a safe, compliant, and feasible access configuration for each parcel. This may necessitate shared access easements with other parcels and/or adjacent properties. In accordance with Marion County Driveway Ordinance #651, driveway permits will be required for any new access or change in use of the existing access to the public right-of-way. If this development occurs, the developer will be required to obtain driveway permits. Driveways must meet County Standards to establish safe and compliant access. The newly created parcels will need to share a common access to Wiltsey Street. A Road Maintenance Agreement will be necessary for shared accesses to the subject property (contact Tedd Joling at (503) 584-7714 for details). Driveways will also need to meet fire district standards for emergency access.
