Condition A — Show sufficient dedicated right-of-way (RIW) on the plat to provide the public R/W half -width of 30 feet along the subject propertyfrontage for a City of Salem Collector street. R/W dedication requirements for subdivisions and partitions are in accordance with Marion County Code (MCC) 16.33.260. According to County GIS mapping and tax assessor maps, it appears that there is a 10 -foot deficiency in half -width. The R/W dedication shall be shown on the final plat as a 30 -foot half -width dedicated to the public for road purposes. The nexus for this requirement is to accommodate frontage improvements based upon the proposed addition of traffic to County roads. Condition B — Prior to Tentative Plat approval, improve the Hollywood Drive property frontage to current County and City of Salem standards for an urban Collector street by designing, permitting and constructing a 17 - foot paved half -width (largely present) including southern transition taper, curb/gutter, concrete driveway approach and property line sidewalk, any necessary drainage work, and landscaping. Requirements to construct frontage improvements for subdivisions and partitions are in accordance with Marion County Code (MCC) 16.33.320. Nexus for this condition is the proposed addition of traffic to a road in need of widening and urban improvements. Preliminary review of existing street grade relative to that of private property suggests placement of curb and gutter will concentrate stormwater runoff onto the adjoining property to the south, which sits below road grade. Engineering design will need to take into account capture and conveyance of diverted runoff to an appropriate location to avoid property damage. Marion County Tax Assessor commented that according to ORS 92.095, all delinquent taxes that become a lien during the tax year must be paid before a plat is recorded. School District 24J commented that the property is served by Scott Elementary School, Waldo Middle School, and McKay High School. Sufficient school capacity currently exists to serve the proposed development. Elementary school students in this location are eligible for school transportation services while the Middle and High School students are in the walk zone. City of Salem provided information on what the development requirements would be if the property was located inside city limits. Marion County Fire District No. 1 provided a list of fire code requirements the development will be required to meet. GENERAL COMMENTS: 6. Portland General Electric commented on their easement requirements. Northwest Natural Gas included a copy of their Request for Service form that is required to serve the property. ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS: 7. Roads, Streets and Easement: Standards for these items are listed in Chapter 16.33.160 through 16.33.340 of the Marion County Code (MCC). Those standards that apply to this request include: 16.33.160 ENGINEERING STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS. Engineering standards and requirements, including but not limited to streets, drainage, access, easements, and thoroughfare improvements, shall be those currently approved by the Marion County department of public works.
