a. The 2022 Oregon Fire Code contains the currently adopted fire and life safety regulations for the State of Oregon. The full text of the OFC is available through the International Code Council’s website at the following link: https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/ORFC2022P1 b. The 2024 Marion County Fire Code Applications Guide contains guidelines established by the fire agencies throughout Marion County to assist designers and applicants with how OFC requirements are to be applied to their projects. i. The following link to the 2024 MCFCAG is provided on the Turner Fire District website: ii. Click the “Public Information” link at the bottom of the main page. iii. Click the “Rural Access Standards” link. This opens the MCFCAG document which is located at the following link: https://www.turnerfire.com/content/files/M_C%20App%20Guide%207-2024(3).pdf NOTE: It is noted that Scottish Highland Ln. SE currently serves two residential properties, 2882 and 2812. With the addition of two additional parcels which will be served by Scottish Highland Ln. SE, OFC 503.1.1 Exception 1.3 no longer applies to that portion of roadway where it serves the first two parcels (2812 and Parcel 2). This portion must now be in compliance with OFC 503.2.1 (20 feet wide, 13 feet 6 inches high). Where Scottish Highland Ln. SE serves Parcel 3 and 2882 individually, it is allowed to serve each parcel by the reduced width (12 feet) roadways within their individual 20 foot wide easements. B. Address identification signs shall be provided in accordance with OFC 505. Specifically, at the entrance from Battle Creek Rd. SE to Scottish Highland Ln. SE, a monument or post shall have address signs which display all addresses served by this roadway. In addition, each individual address shall be posted at the driveway serving each individual property. C. Where security gates are to be installed, they shall be in accordance with OFC 503.6. Key boxes shall be required where gates are installed and shall be in accordance with OFC 506 and of a design approved by Turner Fire District. D. Regarding parcels 2 and 3, Turner Fire District reserves judgement on fire protection water supplies which are based on OFC 507, OFC Appendix B, and NFPA 1142 until such time as structures are permitted to be built. Marion County Tax Assessor Office provided tax information on the subject parcel. All other contacted agencies either failed to comment or stated no objection to proposal. 6. Chapter 17.181 MCC establishes provisions for partitioning property in an SGO zone. In the SGO zone, creating a parcel less than five acres in size requires the applicants to submit a “Hydrology Review” meeting the provisions listed in MCC 17.181. The review indicates that there is a sustainable long-term supply of ground water for the proposed development. The County requires a Declaratory Statement be recorded with the property deed. This notifies the applicant and subsequent owners that there may be long term groundwater supply problems and that the County is not responsible for deepening or replacing wells. The County also requires submission of static water level measurements prior to recording the plat for all existing wells, and prior to building permits for all undeveloped parcels. 7. There are no specific approval criteria for partitions in the AR zone. MCC 17.128.070 requires a minimum lot size of two acres and the new parcels are consistent with this standard. Subsequently, the proposal meets the criteria for partitioning in the AR zone. 8. Based on the above findings, the proposed partition complies with the applicable criteria and is, therefore, APPROVED.
