FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: Findings and conclusions on which the decision was based are noted below. l. The property is designated Rural Residential and Primary Agriculture in the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of this designation and the corresponding AR (Acreage Residential) zone is to allow creation of acreage homesites at a density that maintains the character and environmental quality of rural residential areas and the EFU zone promotes commercial farming operations. 2. The subject parcel is located on the north side of Meadows Ln SE, which is a dead-end non-county road that branches off Sunnyside Rd SE near the I-5 interchange with Hwy 164. The property contains a 1991 dwelling and two accessory structures. The subject parcel was originally created as Lot 5 of the Valley Meadows subdivision on June 28, 1971 and has not changed its configuration since. Therefore, the parcel is legal for land use purposes. 3. Surrounding uses are a mix of large acreage residences to the east and west and large resource parcels containing deciduous forested area, grazing land, and row crop fields. Other notable features in the area include the I5 right- of-way 1700 feet to the east of the subject parcel and Ankeny Wildlife Refuge 1 mile to the west. 4. The applicant proposes to divide a 5.0-acre parcel into two new parcels of 2.50-acres and 2.50-acres. The applicant intends to partition in such a way that both resultant parcels have frontage on Meadows Ln. 5. Various agencies were contacted about the proposal and given an opportunity to comment. Marion County Survey Department commented: 1) Parcels must be surveyed and monumented 2) Per ORS 92.050, plat must be submitted for review 3) Checking fee and recording fees required 4) A current or updated title report must be submitted at the time of review.
