5. The applicants are proposing to adjust the property lines on a 79.63-acre parcel, a 74.07-acre parcel and a 6.30-acre parcel to create a 159.26-acre parcel. 6. Various agencies were contacted about the proposal and given an opportunity to comment. Marion County Surveyor’s Office commented: • A re-plat (in the form of a partition plat) is required, due to the adjustment or elimination of a partition plat parcel line or subdivision lot line. • Must be platted per ORS 92.050/055, and the plat submitted for review. • Checking fee and recording fees required. • A current or updated title report must be submitted at the time of review. Marion County Assessor’s Office provided information regarding taxes on the subject properties. Marion County Septic commented: Onsite Septic has no specific comments regarding this action. Of note, the proposal of an RV park will require specific septic evaluations and permits. But this case is regarding combing parcels which does not require a septic review as all lots are getting larger. Marion County Building Inspection commented: No Building Inspection concerns. Permit(s) are required to establish a new campground, as well as those utilities extended to individual sites, and restrooms and/or other structures subject to the state building code All other contacted agencies either failed to comment or stated no objection to the proposal. 7. In order to determine the criteria that apply, first a determination must be made as to whether the properties were predominately in farm or forest use on January 1, 1993. Aerial photography from 1994, the earliest available by commercial services, indicates that the properties were predominantly engaged in farm use. In addition, a conditional use land use case was approved in 1993 (CU93-088). In that case the Planning department determined that the property was devoted to farm use: specifically, the growing of Christmas Trees. As the properties were predominately in farm use, the criteria in Marion County Code 17.139.090 (D) apply: 1. When one or more lots or parcels subject to a proposed property line adjustment are larger than the minimum parcel size pursuant to MCC 17.136.090(A)(1), 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 the 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 parcels involved are under the minimum size, the criteria do not apply 2. 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 that the minimum tract size required to qualify the vacant tract for a dwelling; or c. Allow an area of land used to qualify a tract for a dwelling based on an acreage standard to be used to qualify another tract for a dwelling if the land use approval would be based on an acreage standard.
