5. Various agencies were contacted about the proposal and given an opportunity to comment. Public Works Land Development and Engineering Permits (LDEP) requested that the following be included in the land use decision. Preface- Intersection Sight Distance (ISD) measurements were performed at the Scottish Highlands Lane connection with Battle Creek Road. The result is that there is a 50% deficiency in available ISD looking north. Given that Battle Creek Road has an unposted speed defaulting to 55 mph basic rule, potential vehicular crash injuries could be exacerbated. Therefore, PW Engineering is tentatively unable to approve access via Scottish Highlands Lane serving additional homesites that would increase traffic to it. However, if the partition is ultimately approved and subsequent building permits issued such that Scottish Highlands Lane is determined to be the de facto access, then Condition A, below, related to access will need to be completed. Note that based upon review of Marion County Survey Record for Minor Partitioning No. 88-62, there appears to be an unimproved 20-foot wide access easement serving the subject property just north of and parallel with Derter Lane crossing the frontage parcel that has significantly better available sight distance. An even better option might be acquisition of a shared access easement over a short segment of Derter Lane versus a new public road connection. Condition A – Prior to partition plat approval, under and Access Permit widen the proposed shared easement driveway approach to a minimum of 20 feet measured at the R/W line and for a minimum of distance of 50 feet back from the public road. Select wooden rail fencing may need to be removed to accomplish this. Condition B – Prior to partition plat approval, notarize a Road Maintenance Agreement to be recorded concurrently with the partition plat for collective maintenance of the proposed private drive. Requirements: D. Depict necessary access and utility easements on the partition plat. E. Provide written evidence of coordination with the Turner FD Fire Marshal as to potential requirements for fire turnaround(s) and/or turnout(s) in conjunction with the access easement to be depicted on the partition plat. Marion County Survey commented: A. Parcels must be surveyed and monumented. B. Per ORS 92.050, plat must be submitted for review. C. Checking fee and recording fees required. D. A current or updated title report must be submitted at the time of review. Title reports shall be no more than 15 days old at the time of approval of the plat by the Surveyor’s Office, which may require additional updated reports. Marion County Septic commented: “Site Evaluations for this partition were conducted under per 555-25-000974 and 555-25-000975. Records for the system serving the existing dwelling are under permit 555-04-05604. Parcels 2 and 3 will require a construction installation permit prior to site development. At this time, all septic requirements for the proposed partition have been met.” Turner Fire District commented: A. Fire service features including fire apparatus access and fire protection water supplies are required to comply with the 2022 Oregon Fire Code (OFC). In order to assist applicants, design professionals, and developers, fire agencies throughout Marion County have provided the 2024 Marion County Fire Code Applications Guide (MCFCAG). Note to Applicants: Applicants are encouraged to contact Turner Fire District for assistance with determining how best to address fire service features for this project. The following links to the OFC and the MCFCAG are provided as follows.
