Requirements: A. Depending on the aerial extent, addition of paved and/or gravel parking area may require design and construction of stormwater detention facilities under a permit from MCPW Engineering. Marion County Surveyor’s Office commented: 1. Properties 10 acres or less must be surveyed per ORS 92.060 (7) and the survey submitted for review. 2. Survey checking fee required at the time of review. 3. 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 property line adjustment. Permit(s) are required to be obtained prior to the development of structures and/or utilities installation on private property, if proposed. It is recommended new property lines be established at least 3 feet from any existing residential structures and at least 10 feet from any existing commercial structures.” All 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 involved parcels in the proposal are already smaller than the minimum parcel size, therefore the criterion does not apply to this proposal. 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 parcels are larger than the 80-acre minimum parcel size and neither will be made larger than that amount as a result of this proposal. Therefore this section 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 proposal involves two parcels with distinct uses. The larger 9.23 -acre parcel is a small farmstead parcel that has historically been used for berry fields. The smaller parcel is dominated by a church and related development. This proposal would see the smaller, non-farm parcel increase in size and utilize area as a parking lot for the church. When asked for additional information, the applicant provided further information that only about 1-acre of the land involved in the transfer of property would be utilized for additional parking lot area for the church and that the rest would remain open ground. The representative of the church also explained that they required the additional parking area to accommodate the growing number of people in the congregation and that they had resorted to parking within the Frolov Dr right-of-way during services because of insufficient parking area. As such, they had run into compliance issues with the local fire district for blocking the public road. This proposal allows the church to comply
