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 easement drive [MCC 17.172.340]. ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS C. The developable parcel shall share an existing, permitted driveway paved approach connection to Hylo Road via private access easement. The Liberty Road driveway approach was required to be gated and restricted to seasonal harvest use by larger farm equipment under the same Access Permit #10-02228 due to limited Intersection Sight Distance (ISD). In the alternative to the Hylo Road access, a new shared residential access could be installed under a permit within the Cole Road unopened R/W where there is anticipated sufficient ISD at the Liberty Road connection. D. Transportation System Development Charges (SDCs) & Parks fee will be assessed upon application for building permits for a new dwelling. E. Utility extension work in the public right-of-way requires permits from PW Engineering. Marion County Surveyor’s Office commented: a. Per ORS 92.055 – Parcels over 10 acres can be unsurveyed, if outside of an urban growth boundary. b. Parcels 10 acres or less must be surveyed and monumented. c. Per ORS 92.050, plat must be submitted for review. d. Checking fee and recording fees required. e. 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. Salem Fire Department commented: “Salem Fire Department has no concerns with the partition. Items including fire department access and water supply will be required per the Oregon Fire Code at the time of development. Marion County Septic commented: “Parcel A will require an Existing System Evaluation Report and designate a future septic repair area. Based on the history of the existing system and aerial photo, the system appears to have had the potential for a road placed over it, vineyard and potentially a structure. Parcel B will require a Septic Site Evaluation. Parcel C does not require any septic action at this time.” Marion County Tax Assessor provided information regarding taxes on the subject property. All other contacted agencies either failed to comment or stated no objection to the proposal. 6. There are no specific approval criteria for partitioning property in the AR zone. MCC 17.128.070 requires a minimum lot size of two acres. Each of the parcels resulting from the proposed partition would meet this standard. The criterion is met. 7. MCC 17.137.090(A)(1) requires a minimum parcel size of 80-acres in the SA zone. The subject property is zoned both SA and AR. The SA-zoned portion of this property is approximately 14.93-acres, and this portion of the property will not be partitioned. The criterion is met. 8. Chapter 17.181 MCC establishes provisions for partitioning property in an SGO zone. In the SGO-5 zone, creating a parcel greater than five acres in size does not require the applicants to demonstrate sufficient groundwater supply. However, the County requires a Declaratory Statement be recorded with the property deed prior to the issuance of building permits. 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 criteria are met. 9. Based on the above findings, the proposed partitioning complies with the above criteria and is therefore APPROVED, subject to conditions.
