A. An Access Permit is required to relocate the driveway approach connection. PW Engineering concurs with initiative to relocate the Cascade Hwy residential access northward for better vision, closer to the roadway vertical crest fronting the northerly neighbor’s property, and thus necessitating an easement or subject PLA. A permit record #555-25-000381-PW has already been established for a preliminary field review since conducted; it can be issued in the name of primary Applicant once the PLA is completed. We take no exception to the proposed site plan. The existing access will be required to be closed as part of the Permit once the new access is in. Marion County Building Inspection commented: No Building Inspection concerns. Permit(s) are required to be obtained prior to the development of buildings or other structures and/or utilities installation on private property. Marion County Septic commented: The smaller lot will need a Septic Site Evaluation approval. Marion County Assessor’s Office provided information regarding taxes on the subject properties. All other contacted agencies either failed to comment or stated no objection to the proposal. 7. The criteria for reviewing lot line adjustments within an EFU zone are listed in Chapter 17.136.090(C) MCC. These criteria are as follows: 1. When one or more lots or parcels subject to a proposed property line adjustment are larger than the minimum parcel size pursuant to subsection (A)(1) of this section, the same number of lots or parcels shall be as large or larger than the minimum parcel size after the adjustment. When all lots or parcels subject to the proposed adjustment are as large or larger than the minimum parcel size, no lot or parcel shall be reduced below the applicable minimum parcel size. If all lots or parcels are smaller than th e minimum parcel size before the property line adjustment, the minimum parcel size pursuant to this section does not apply to those lots or parcels. All the lots and parcels involved in this property line adjustment are below the minimum parcel size of 80 -acres. This criterion does not apply. 2. If the minimum parcel size in subsection (A)(1) of this section is larger than 80 acres, and a lot or parcel subject to property line adjustment is smaller than the minimum parcel size but larger than 80 acres, the lot or parcel shall not be reduced in size through property line adjustment to less than 80 acres. All lots and parcels involved are already below the minimum parcel size and below 80-acres. The criterion does not apply. 3. Any property line adjustment shall result in a configuration of lots or parcels that are at least as suitable for commercial agriculture as were the parcels prior to the adjustment. The applicants are proposing to move their property lines to relocate the street entrance away from an area with poor vision clearance due to local topography to a location on the adjoining parcel; an area of approximately 10,000 square feet or 0.23 acres. The larger farm parcel will only be slightly reduced and keep the majority of the property open to commercial agriculture. The criterion is met. 4. A property line adjustment may not be used to: a. Decrease the size of a lot or parcel that, before the relocation or elimination of the common property line, is smaller than the minimum lot or parcel size for the applicable zone and contains an existing dwelling or is approved for the construction of a dwelling, if the abutting vacant tract would be increased to a size as large as or larger than the minimum tract size required to qualify the vacant tract for a dwelling; b. Decrease the size of a lot or parcel that contains an existing dwelling or is approved for construction of a dwelling to a size smaller than the minimum lot or parcel size, if the abutting vacant tract would be increased to a size as large as or larger tha n the minimum tract size required to qualify the vacant tract for a dwelling;
