FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: Findings and conclusions on which the decision was based are noted below. 1. The subject properties are designated Rural Residential in the Marion County Comprehensive Plan and correspondingly zoned AR (Acreage Residential). The primary intent of the designation is to provide for rural residential development at a density sustainable with rural services. 2. The subject properties are located on the south side of Ranay Dr SE within the Woodland Park subdivision. Both tax lot 3600 and 3700 each contain a single-family dwelling and are heavily wooded. Additionally, tax lot 3700 recently obtained a building permit for a residential accessory structure (permit 555-23-001867), which, according to the applicants’ site plan, was incorrectly sited and currently crosses the shared property line between the two lots. Tax lot 3600 was originally created as Lot 5 of Block 2 of the Woodland Park subdivision. Tax lot 3700 was originally created as Lot 6 of Block 2 of the Woodland Park subdivision. Both parcels have remained in the same configuration since and are therefore legal for land use purposes. 3. All adjacent properties are zoned AR and are in use as small acreage rural residences. Outside of this collection of rural residential subdivisions are larger resource parcels engaged in commercial agriculture. 4. The applicants are proposing to adjust the existing property line between a 2.00-acre parcel and a 2.36-acre parcel to reconfigure the parcels without changing their size, resulting in a reconfigured 2.00-acre parcel and 2.36-acre parcel. The purpose of the reconfiguration is to resolve the encroachment of an accessory structure that was improperly built on the shared property line between the lots. 5. Various agencies were contacted about the proposal and given the opportunity to comment. Marion County Surveyors Office commented: 1) A re-plat (in the form of a partition plat) is required, due to the adjustment or elimination of a partition plat parcel line or subdivision lot line. 2) Must be surveyed and platted per ORS 92.050, and the plat submitted for review. 3) Checking fee and recording fees required.
