C. The degree of variance from the standard is the minimum necessary to permit development of the property for the proposed use; and The proposed use is to allow the creation of three lots, maximizing the rural residential capacity in the AR zone which requires a 2-acre minimum. This degree of variance is the minimum to permit the proposed development. The criterion is met. D. The variance will not have a significant adverse effect on property or improvements in the neighborhood of the subject property; and The roadway currently serves four lots, each containing a dwelling. This rural area has undergone multiple partitioning efforts over the past 40 years. Therefore, the addition of two homesites off Happy Valley Wy SE appears to align with the development goals of this neighborhood. Both Burton Pl SE and Happy Valley Wy SE are paved and well-maintained. Additionally, since the uses of the newly created parcels will not be commercial or industrial, the traffic impact on these private roads will be minimal. The criterion is met. E. The variance will not have a significant adverse effect upon the health or safety of persons working or residing in the vicinity; and Requests for Comments were sent out to various agencies regarding the proposed partition and variance. The Marion County No. 1 Fire District did not respond with any access or safety concerns. Any requirements for fire turnarounds may be placed by the fire district at the time building permits are applied for. It appears that the proposed variance to allow six dwellings to be served by Happy Valley Wy SE would not adversely affect public health or safety. The criterion is met. F. The variance will maintain the intent and purpose of the provision being varied. Allowing Burton Pl SE and Happy Valley Wy SE to serve two additional dwellings in its current condition would not exceed its capacity. Public Works LDEP did not make any requirements regarding improvements on these roads, insinuating the roadways can handle the newly proposed development. The criterion is met. 8. Based on the above findings, the proposed partitioning complies with the above criteria and is therefore APPROVED, subject to conditions.
