Given the fact that the adjacent properties to the north that share access with the subject property are developed and partitioned, and with a review of the submitted site plan, it appears that this proposal will have no affect on future development options for these properties, or the undeveloped parcel to the south. The criterion in 6(a)(1) is satisfied. 8. Any additional development may require the applicants to meet the requirements of the City of Salem Public Works Department prior to obtaining water and sewer hook ups.
