RE: LEGAL LOT OF TAX LOT 3000 OF TAX MAP 1743-26-21
Dear Don:
You have requested Lane County Planning Department to determine if the two duplexes within
Tax Lot 3000 of Tax Map 1743-26-21 are legal. This parcel is within the urban grorvth boundary of the
city of Springfreld, as such Lane County Planning Department has sent all the records on this parcel to the
city of Springfield. But as you have indicated to Lane County the city of Springfield does not appear to
have any files on this parcel so you have requested that Lane County to determine if the two existing
duplexes are legal buildings. We have checked some of our other files and after some long and tedious
research we have found that Tax Lot 3000 is a legal lot for the following reasons. First Tax Lot 3000 was
deed out as a separate parcel in March L5,1972, see Reel 577-N 90190. Secondly at the same time the
owner William Wiswall had requested azone change from RA to RG. The RG zone aloud some of tlre
following permitted uses, multiple dwellings, court apartments, townhouses, private and public park, the
lot dimensions where, minimum area- 20,000 squre feet, minimum width- 100 feet, minimum depth-
80 feet, but for two-family dwellings the minimum area and depth is 12,000 square feet and 70 feet
average width, this is where the site is served by public water and not by public sewer facilities. This zone
change was glanted on March 1,1972, see Lane County Ordinance Number 52, enclosed. This ordinance
was a requested tlut the parcel zone be changed so that the parcel could have two duplexes on tlte same
parcel. Therefore the parcel is a legal lot and the two duplexes are also legal. The unfortunate part ofthis
pttz:,ls is that Lane County do not have the building permits to complete the picture, but the Lane County
Assessment and Taxation Department shows on there tax cards that the duplexes where completed and
being tax within the 1972 year. The same year that the zone change had occurred.
I hope this will answer the concerns anyone will have on this parcel and about the legality of the
existing duplexes, ifyou have any question contact this office.
