Survey checking fee required at the time of review. 4. Property line adjustment deed(s) shall be recorded with the Marion County Clerk’s Office. Per ORS 92.190 (4). Marion County Assessor’s Office provided information regarding taxes on the subject properties. Marion County Building commented: “No Building Inspection concerns with proposed property line adjustment as the proposal relates to structures subject to the state building code” 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. None of the subject parcels in the proposal are larger than the 80-acre minimum parcel size for the EFU zone. Therefore 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. None of the subject parcels in the proposal are larger than the 80-acre minimum parcel size for the EFU zone. Therefore this 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 proposed property line adjustment would reconfigure the subject parcels into a configuration that more accurately and efficiently allows the existing farm uses to continue because it relocates a property line that currently goes through an existing greenhouse structure and locates the property line through the open driving lanes between the structures. Therefore, 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; The only parcel involved in this proposal that is vacant (without a dwelling) is tax lot 700, and that lot would not be increased to a size required to qualify for a dwelling. The criterion is met.
