a. The minimum size of the lots and maximum density of the area to be developed shall be consistent with those established in the adopted comprehensive plan. b. When appropriate, a sketch plan be filed with the commission which encourages orderly urban growth, showing future streets, road alignments, and redivision of the subject property. c.

As described above, the nature of the area consists of existing rural residential homesites and the proposed division and non -farm dwellings should not have a significant impact on surrounding farm uses. The proposal meets the criteria in 24. 26. The current Chapter 172.56 of the MCRZO provides standards for access to the newly created parcels, which were not waived by the county: All lots must have a minimum of 20 feet of frontage on a public right-of-way, or, when an access easement is proposed to serve one or more lots in any partitioning, the location and improvement of the roadway access shall conform to the following standards which are necessary for adequate access for emergency vehicles. Evidence that the access has been improved to these standards shall be provided prior to the issuance of building permits on the parcels served by the access easement. (a) Have a minimum easement width of 20 feet; (b) Have a maximum grade of 12%; (c) Be improved with an all-weather surface with a minimum width of 12 feet; (d) Provide adequate sight -distance at intersections with public roadways; (e) Be provided with a road name sign at the public roadway as an identification for emergency vehicles in accordance with the Marion County Address and Street Name Ordinance. 27. The applicants are proposing an access easement to serve the three new parcels. The requirements in Chapter 172.56 can be made a condition of any approval. On the submitted site plan, the applicants indicated that access to the west and south parcels would be via an easement to be established. Under the provisions in the Marion County Address and Street Name Ordinance, the easement must be named and the properties must be addressed from the roadway. A list of names was submitted to the 911 Dispatch center for review and a name will be selected for the roadway name. Prior to the recording of the plat, a work order for the street sign installation, with appropriate fee, must be submitted to Marion County Department of Public Works. 28. The Measure 37 Case #06-69 approving waivers for the proposed partitioning did not waive the requirements for placement of a non -farm dwelling listed in 139.070. These standards are as follows: (a) Special Siting Requirements: (1) Dwellings and structures shall comply with the special requirements in (2) or (3). Com- pliance with the provisions in (2) and Section 139.070 (b), (f) and (g) satisfies the criteria in (3) below. Alternative sites that meet the criteria in (3) may be approved as provided in Section 110.680.
