The property is designated Rural Residential in the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. The major purpose of this desig- nation and the corresponding AR (Acreage Residential) zone is to allow for the creation of acreage homesites at a density that maintains the character and environmental quality of the County's rural residential areas. The property is located on the north side of Aumsville Highway across from its juncture with 70th Ave. The 3.0 acre parcel is undeveloped. Access to Aumsville Highway is by an approximate 600 foot easement. Ail surrounding property is zoned AR. The dominant land use is single family residential dwellings. The applicant proposes to divide the 3.0 parcel to create two parcels each containing 1.5 acres. Because all the proposed parcels do not have frontage on a public road, this applica- tion is classified as a Major Partitioning. The Marion County Building Inspection Division and the County Department of Public Works reviewed the proposal and offered no comments. The County Assessor's Office provided tax assessment information. No other contacted agency responded. The Marion County Comprehensive Plan policies for rural residential areas provide that bom.sites should be 1.5 to 3.0 acres in size. The proposal satisfies this requirement. The proposed partitioning is consistent with the land use pattern in the area and meets the criteria for partitions in the AR zone. Aumsville Highway is capable of providing access for the additional dwelling by way of an existing 20 foot easement. This easement was created as the result of a previous partition approval (P87-63). The easement would serve four dwellings which is permitted by the County Partitioning and Subdivision Ordinance. As the easement will be extended to serve the newly created parcels the applicant must conform with the standards contained in Section VII(6) of the Subdivision Ordinance. 8. Although the proposed partitioning is appropriate, the County requires that a Declaratory Statement be recorded with the property deed because the subject property is near a resource zone. This serves to notify the applicant and subsequent .~? owners ~at th~ are farm or timber operations in the area. ,,.~,~ ·; /~ ' -- Crai~.~ ~ Luedeman Director-Planning Division ....
