FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: The findings and conclusions on which the Planning Director based the decision are noted below. 1. The property is in the Salem/Keizer Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and designated Single Family Residential in the Salem Area Comprehensive Plan (SACP). The parcel is zoned RS (SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) under the jurisdiction of Marion County. 2. The property is located on the north side of Haysville Drive NE, 105 feet west of its intersection with Homer Road NE. The parcel has a dwelling and an accessory structure. The property is described as Lot 6 of Reimann Gardens subdivision and is a legally created parcel. All surrounding properties are zoned RS and are developed with single-family dwellings. 4. The applicants proposes to divide a 33,541 square foot parcel into three parcels of 7,352, 6,832 square feet, and 20,496 square feet. Comments on the subject application received from various governmental agencies are summarized below. The full comments can be reviewed in the planning file. Marion County Land Development Engineering & Permits: 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 the public dedicated right-of-way half -width of thirty feet along Hayesville Road NE. This is the standard right-of-way half width for a collector street in the Salem Transportation System Plan (TSP). It appears that no additional width is required. Any dedications should be to the public, not Marion County. • Earlier partitions of the properties to the east and west of the subject property required a 34 -foot right-of-way half width dedication. Four additional feet of right-of-way was required. In order to accommodate utilities that may utilize this area, the applicant shall show a four -foot utility easement on the plat. Prior to plat approval, the applicant will be required to improve Hayesville Road along their property frontage to City of Salem standards as directed by the Public Works Department. This will include such elements as a 17 -foot paved half -width, curb, gutter, property line sidewalk, transition tapers at both ends, drainage work, and landscaping. Engineered plans must be submitted and approved by the Public Works Department prior to plat approval. • In order to minimize the number of access points, the driveway serving the existing dwelling on Parcel 1 shall be closed and access provided by a shared easement along the west property line. According to City of Salem Development Bulletin #34, March 1, 2000, the minimum access spacing standard for a collector street 200 feet between the centerline of a driveway to the centerline of an adjacent intersecting street. The driveway along the west property line, as proposed by the applicant, does meet the access spacing
