BACKGROUND
Both tracts of land: l) are located outside of Springfield's city limits, within the City's urban services boundary; 2)
are relatively flat; and border North l9s Streeg which is currently unimproved. Tax Lot 2100 contains part of an
orchard; Ta:r Lot 2200 contains an existing house and part ofan orchard.
Staffapproved a Lot Line Adjustnent application on this property in 1990 (Jo. No. 90-04-59). A condition of that
application was the dedication of right-of-way (30 feet to centerline) for North 196 Street. At that time, North 196
Street was not classified as a collector street.
Before this submittal, the applicant used the Pre-Application Conference process (Jo. No. 97-06-147). Staffinitially
reviewed that application as a subdivision proposal. However, after meeting with the applican! staffcommented
upon the proposed project as a Lot Line Adjustnent. Some of the issues raised in the Pre-Application Conference
letter dated September 2, 1997 arc raised under criterion 3., on Page 3 of this report.
CRITERH OF APPROVAL
SDC 33.030 states: "The Lot Llne Adjustmmt does not:
(1) Create a new lot or land-locked parcel;
Tax Lots 2100 and 2200 akeady exist as two individual tacts of land. Both tracts of land have frontage on North
196 Street. The Lot Line Adjustnent proposes to: l) Decrease the frontage of Tax Lot 2100 from approximately
120 feet to approximately 25 feet; and 2) Increase the frontage of Tax Lot 2200 from approximately I 04 feet to
approximately 200 feet. Both tracts of land will continue to have frontage on North 196 Street. Upon approval of
this application: l) No new lot will be created; or 2) No land-locked parcel will be created.
Finding:
Because no new lot or landlocked parcel will be created, this application complies with criterion (l).
"(2] Reduce an utsttng lot below the mlnlnum dlmenslons atabltshed by the appltcable z.oning dlstrlct or
otherwlsevlolate the standards of the Sprlngfield Developmmt Code, or Structursl Speclalty and Flre and
Llfe Salay Code;"
The property is located outside of Springfield's city limits, within the City's urban services boundary. The zoning
of the properly is Low Density ResidentiaVUrban Fringe - l0 (LDR/[ F - l0) and the desigrration is LDR/UF - l0 on
the Mefro Plan diagram.
SDC 16.030(1), (2) and (3[b) state: 'The minimum lot size in all residential districts shall be as follows: Lots
on east-west streets shall have a minimum lot size of 4,500 square feet and a minimum lot frontage of 45 feet
Lots on north-south streets shall heve a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet and a lot frontage of 60 feet
In the rcsidential dlstricts, panhandle lots created through the Subdivision and Partition proc€ss shall have at
least 6'fiX) squsre feet in the pan portion, exclusive of the driveway (panhandle). In the case of one single
family dwelling a single panhandle shall have a minimum of 20 feet of frontage if setback sidewalks are to be
installed, and 26 feet of frontage if curb side sidewalks are to be installed...." NOTE: Technically, no panhandle
is being created as part of this application. Therefore SDC 16.030(3Xb) does not apply. See the discussion under
criterion (3) on Page 3 ofthis report.
Page 3
LLA97-10-238
North 196 Street is a north-south street. The future cul-de-sac street is east-west in orientation. However, use of a
"panhandle" for driveway access to Tax Lot 2100 is temporary until there is a need to dedicate and improve a new
street. Upon approval of this application, Tax Lot 2100 will contain 27 ,966 square feet and Tax 2200 will contain
57,880 square feet. Both tracts of land exceed the standards specified in SDC 16.030(1), (2) and (3Xb).
Other standards of the Springfield Development Code, and Structural Specialty and Fire and Life Safety Code have
been reviewed. This application does not violate applicable standards of these codes.
Finding:
Because both tacts of land will continue to exceed the standards of SDC 16.030(1) and (2), and does not violate
the above referenced codes, this application complies with criterion (2).
'(3) Impede the lnplementotlon of adopted fiansportatlon or publlcfacllltla plans or approved Conceptual
Developmcnt Plons;"
North 196 Street is listed as a collector street on the Conceptual Road Network Map. Collector and arterial streets
appear in TransPlan, the local adopted transportation plan. North lg6 Steet is currently unimproved.
The following transportation issues were raised in the Pre-Application Conference letter, dated September 2,1997
and relate to this criterion:
l. The minimum right-of-way width for a collector street is 70 feet, which means that an additional 5 feet of right-
of-way dedication is from bottr tracts of land is necessary. SDC 33.060(1) allows staffto require right-of-way
dedication as a condition of approval for this application. However, no additional right-of-way dedication is
required at this time. The need for any additional dedication of right-of-way will be discussed when future
development of Ta,x Lot2200 and/or the property to the north is proposed. Until that time, the recording of a
deed restriction will protect the City's interest concerning the right-of-way dedication issue.
2. No street improvements for North lg6 Street are required at this time. However, SDC 33.060(2) does give staff
the authority to require the sigrring of an Improvement Agreement as a condition of approval of this application
obligating the current owner or any subsequent owner(s) to participate in the future improvement of North lgth
Street.
3. No "panhandle" is being created as part of this application. The proposed driveway access to Ta>r Lot 2100 is
in reality an area which must be reserved for an east-west cul-de-sac street to serve any future development of
Ta:r Lot 2200 and/or the abutting property to the north. At that time, the street must be dedicated and
constmcted. All access to any new lots or parcels must be from this street. The Final Map must show the future
right-of-way area to include one-half of the cul-de-sac bulb; this area must be marked "reserved for future
right-of-way."
4. SDC Table 32-1 states that the minimum right-of-way for a street less than 1,200 feet in length and 1,000
vehicle trips per day is 40 feet (28 feet curb to curb); the bulb diameter is 83 feet (70 feet curb to curb). Note:
If the properly owne(s) to the north do not wish to constnrct their portion of the street when Tax Lot 2200 is
further developed, a2l3 steetmust be constructed within the area "reserred for future right-of-way''. This will
allow any future lots or parcels crated from Ta:r Lot 2200 to be served by a public street. This necessitates the
recording of a deed restriction on Tax Lot2200 guaranteeing the dedication of right-of-way for and
improvement of the cul-de-sac sfreet.
5. SIrc 16.050(7) states: 'When additional right-of-way is required, whether by City Engineering standards
or the Metro Plan including TransPlan, setbacks shall be based on future right-of-way locations., All
applicable setbacks for any development on Tax Lot2l00 must comply with SDC 16.050(7).
Page 4
LLA97-10-238
This application, as conditioned, will not impede the implementation of any adopted tansportation plans.
The property is not within the boundary of any adopted public facilities plans or approved Conceptual Development
Plan.
Finding:
Because the implementation of existing transportation or public facilities plans will not be impeded; and there are no
approved Conceptual Development Plan that apply, this application, as conditioned, complies with criterion (3).
Conditions:
1. A deed restriction on Ta:r Lot2200 recorded at Lane County at the property owner's expense stating (The
dedicstion additional right-of-way for North 19th street may be required when future development of Tax
l-at2200 is proposed.'
2. The sigrring of an Improvement Agreement on a City form for the future improvement of North 196 Street
along the frontage of both tracts of land.
3. On the Final Map, show the "panhandle", i.e., one-half of the future east-west cul-de-sac steet including the
bulb. Mark this area *reserved for future right-of-way." An additional notation shall state: "A driveway
may continue to exist until such time as the east-west cul-de-sac street is constructed to City standards.'
4. A deed restriction on Tax Lot 2100 recorded at Lane County at the property owner's expense stating: *The
owner of Tax Lot 2100 must participate in the dedication and construction of an east-west street at such
time either Tax Lot 2200 or the property to the north is further developed.' and "All applicable setbacks
for any development on Tax Lot 2100 must comply with SDC 16.050(7)."
5. A second deed restriction on Ta:r Lot2200 recorded at Lane County stating: 'The owner of Tax l-ot2200
must participate in the dedication and construction of an east-west street at such time either Tax L,ot
2200 or the property to the north is further developed."
*(1) Violate any previous requiremmts or conditions the Approval Authority may hove imposed at a prior public
hearhg or meethg; and"
All of the conditions of approval of the 1990 Lot Line Adjustnent (Jo. No. 90-09-59) have been met. There are no
other previous SDC or Building Code standards that apply to these tracts of land.
Finding:
Because there are no previous requirements or conditions which need to be addressed as part of previous
applications and there are no applicable Building Code standards that apply to this application, criterion (4) does not
apply.
'(5) Redalgn or recontlgure lars x,Ahbt a subdtvblon by o serla of Lot Llae AdJustuun&. Lol llne AdJusfiunb
whbh oeate two lobfiom three lols shaV not be consldered a rcdatgn or reconflgurullon of loh.'
The property is not within a platted subdivision.
Finding:
Because the property is not within a platted subdivision, criterion (5) does not apply.
