FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: Findings and conclusions on which the decision was based are noted below. 1. The subject properties are designated as open space in the City of Jefferson’s Comprehensive Plan and correspondingly zoned UT (Urban Transition) under the jurisdiction of Marion County. The primary intent of this designation and zone is to protect for future urban use properties which are undeveloped or underdeveloped and do not have available urban facilities such as sanitary sewer, water, drainage and streets. 2. The properties are located at the westerly end of Riverwood Dr, approximately 600 feet west of its intersection with Isabel Dr. Both parcels were involved in a previous property line adjustment case PLA20-023, however this property line adjustment has not yet been completed. Property line adjustment deeds were recorded for the configuration of the lots proposed in the case, but the required survey for PLA20-023 was never finalized. As such, the tax lots reflect the proposed configuration of the lots in PLA20-023, but the legal configuration currently is that of the lots prior to PLA20-023. The applicants recently submitted a survey for review for PLA20-023 on December 5th, 2024, which is still under review. Consequentially, the parcels can become legal in the configuration described by the applicants, but it is contingent upon the survey for PLA20-023 being finalized. It shall therefore be made a condition that the applicants fully complete the requirements of PLA20-023 before starting the process of this proposal to ensure that the subject lots or parcels are legal for land use purposes. 3. All adjacent properties are zoned UT and consist of small parcels, some with dwellings and some that have no improvements. 4. The applicants are proposing to adjust the property lines of a 0.47-acre parcel and a 1.19-acre parcel to create a 0.35-acre parcel and a 1.31-acre parcel to increase the amount of frontage to the . 5. Various agencies were contacted about the proposal and given and opportunity to comment. 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 deeds shall be recorded with the Marion County Clerk’s Office. Per ORS 92.190 (4).
