4. The applicant proposes to divide a 41,382 square foot property into two parcels of 19,602 square feet and 21,780 square feet each. The existing dwelling will remain on the smaller parcel. 5. Marion County Department of Public Works reviewed the proposal and provided the following comments: "Public Works Engineering requests that the following conditions, lettered A and B, be included in the approval of the land use case: Urban frontage improvements along the subject parcel are appropriate given the added vehicle and pedestrian traffic associated with the additional home site, however, this parcels' frontage (90 -feet) is located in the middle of a short section (260 -feet) of unimproved frontage located between two fairly significant sections of urban improvements (total of 620 -feet). To ensure that the Applicant's frontage is constructed in the correct location and at the appropriate elevation and grade, the Applicant would have to design the 260 -foot missing section in order to obtain the approval to construct their frontage only. To avoid a disproportionate impact to the Applicant, Engineering is requesting Condition A as shown below. Condition A — Enter into a recordable, legally binding Public Improvement Agreement regarding funding roadway frontage improvements, including paving, curb/gutter, sidewalk and drainage to Marion County standards along the subject property frontage on 45th Avenue NE at a more appropriate date. The Public Improvement Agreement will require the applicant and/or their heirs, successors and assigns, to participate financially to a level proportional to the costs of their frontage improvements at the time a County project or County -approved third party project is developed that would include the subject property frontage. A recordable agreement will be provided by Marion County Public Works. In lieu of entering into a Public Improvement Agreement as described above, the applicant has the following option: Optional Condition A — Improve the 45th Avenue NE subject property frontage (approximately 90 feet plus required tapers and transitions) to current County and City of Salem standards for an urban Collector road prior to plat approval. To ensure the appropriate design parameters, this will require that the applicant provide Marion County Public Works an acceptable engineering design that addresses the entire xxx-foot section between, and fully incorporates the existing facilities located at, 3785-3815 45th Avenue NE to the north and 4420-4480 Seaton Lane to the south. Urban improvements are to be constructed in accordance with appropriate standards as directed by Public Works as a condition for final plat approval. This would include such elements as pavement widening to accommodate the ultimate cross-section including travel lanes, half of a two-way center left -turn lane, bike lanes, curb/gutter, property line sidewalk, closed system drainage work, landscape strip, and any tapers or transitions required. Submission of engineering plans to the County for review and approval will be required, as well as obtaining
