AGENCY COMMENTS 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 and allow construction of single-family dwellings on each parcel, resulting in additional traffic on DeSantis Lane and other roads in the area. The Public Works Engineering Division has the following comments, recommendations, and requirements for this case: 1.If this subdivision is constructed, the applicants will be required to make improvements along their frontage of DeSantis Lane to improve it to County Standards. 2.DeSantis Lane was built as a lightly used rural road. We have some concern about DeSantis Lane and its ability to handle traffic to and from this proposed development. If this case goes forward, the developer may be required to construct roadway improvements (commensurate with additional site-generated traffic) on DeSantis Lane as determined to be necessary by the Public Works Department. This may include paving and widening. 3.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 more specific plans are provided. 4.Chapter 172 of the Rural Zoning Ordinance of Marion County, Oregon, requires the applicant to dedicate sufficient right-of-way on the plat to provide standard public right-of- way width along DeSantis Lane, plus any additional right-of-way necessary to allow any cut or fill slopes, or roadside ditches, to be within the public right-of-way. Any dedications shall be to the public, not Marion County. 5.If this development is constructed, the applicant would be required to construct roads serving the development to standards and dedicate right-of-way for these roads as directed by the Public Works Department. 6.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. 7.Driveways will also need to meet fire district standards for emergency access. 8.Site grading shall not impact surrounding properties in a negative manner. Construction of improvements on the property shall not block historical or naturally occurring runoff from adjacent properties. The applicant shall submit a site grading and drainage plan to verify this lack of negative impact.
