Comments on the subject application received from various governmental agencies are summarized below. 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 subdivision of the subject property into approximately 21 lots and allow construction of single-family dwellings on each lot, resulting in approximately 210 additional daily trips on Boones Ferry Road 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: Streets Depending on the level of development, the applicant may be required to prepare a Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) at the discretion of the Public Works Department. The TIA would need to be prepared in accordance with the requirements of Marion County Public Works. Mitigation measures identified as necessary by the County upon evaluation of the TIA will need to be constructed as part of this development in order to protect the public safety and welfare. If this development is constructed, prior to plat approval, the applicants will be required to make improvements along their frontage of adjacent county roads to improve the roads to County Standards as directed by the Public Works department. This will include such elements as paving, gravel shoulder, drainage work, vegetation clearing, and slope work. This will also include realigning the intersection of Boones Ferry Road with Donald Road to bring it closer to a right angle and meet standards for sight distance, radius, pavement, etc. The developer may be required to pay proportional share contributions to identified project needs in the vicinity of the development as determined by Marion County Public Works. The exact amounts will be determined and provided to the applicant when a more detailed plan is provided. In order for adequate transportation facilities to be available, the developer may need to provide improvements (such as a center turn lane) at the intersection of Boones Ferry Road with Ehlen Road. 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 adjacent roads and standard radius at corners. Any dedications shall be to the public, not Marion County. If this development is constructed, the applicant would be required to construct roads serving the development to standards as directed by the Public Works Department. The developer would also need to dedicate right-of-way for these roads as directed by the Public Works Department. The Public Works Department may specify road locations and may require connections to adjacent properties. The access road to the subject property will need to be directly across from the south leg of Boones Ferry Road at its intersection with Donald Road. In accordance with Marion County Ordinance #651, access 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 access permits and make modifications as necessary
