The standards of the Springfield Development Code (SDC) applicable to each criterion of Property Line Adjustment Approval are listed herein and are satisfied by the submitted plans and notes unless specifically noted with findings and conditions necessary for compliance. THE FINAL SURVEY SUBMITTAL MUST CONFORM TO THE SUBMITfED PLANS AS CONDITIONED HEREIN. This is a limited land use decision made according to City code and state statutes, and there is no provision for appeal pursuant to SDC 5.1-125.C. Please read this document carefully. OTHER USES AUTHORIZED BY THE DECISION: None. The proposed Property qne Adjustment as conditioned is in accordance with SDC 5.16-100. Future development will be in accordance with the provisions of the SDC, filed easements and agreements, and all applicable local, state and federal regulations. REVIEW PROCESS: This application is reviewed under Type I procedures listed in SDC 5.1-125 and the property line adjustment criteria of approval, SDC 5.16-125. A complete application was accepted by the Director prior to the review of the request as specified in SDC 5.4-105, Application Submittal, and contained all information required to begin the review process in accordance with SDC 5.16-100. This application was accepted as complete on October 6, 2010. SITE INFORMATION: The Assessor's description of the affected lots is Map 17-02-34-11, Tax Lots 9800 and 15400. The Springfield city limits runs along the northern boundary of Tax Lot 15400, which is a tract that is jointly-owned by the applicant. The applicant's project narrative indicates the purpose of the property line adjustment is to incorporate a portion of the vacant tract into Tax Lot 9800 to simplifY the ownership, tax assessment and maintenance responsibilities among the tract co-owners. The proposed property line adjustment incorporates a portion of the vacant tract into Tax Lot 9800 and increases the lot size from 10,800 ft2 to 32,500 tt2. Correspondingly, the vacant tract (Tax Lot 15400) is reduced in size from 72,548 tt2 to 50,848 tt2. The net area affected by the proposed property line adjustment is approximately 21,700 square feet (0.50 acres). Because there is no increase to the number of legal lots before or after the proposed property line adjustment, and the adjustment does not reconfigure a subdivision boundary line, the proposal does not constitute a Replat. A property line adjustment may occur within a recorded subdivision in accordance with SDC 5.16-100. CRITERIA OF PROPERTY LINE ADJUSTMENT APPROVAL: SDC 5.16-125 states that the Director shall approve or approve with conditions a Property Line Adjustment application upon determining that criteria A through F of this Section have been satisfied. A. The property line adjustment shall not create a new lot or parcel. Applicant's Submittal: "No new properties are created with this cuijustment; two (2) lots exist before and after the cuijustment." Finding I: The property line adjustment does not create a new lot or parcel. The proposed property line adjustment is intended to incorporate a portion ofa vacant, co-owned tract (Tax Lot 15400, also identified as "Tract A" on the applicant's submittal) into the applicant's lot. There is no net increase or decrease in the number of affected legal lots. Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion A. B. The property line adjustment shall not create a landlocked lot or parcel. Applicant's Submittal: "No landlocked properties are created with this cuijustment; both properties will continue to have frontage on Jacob Lane." Finding 2: The subject lots have frontage on a public street (Jacob Lane). Legal and physical access to the dwelling on Tax Lot 9800 is afforded by a developed driveway and frontage on the public street. The 2 - .. ,. r,; . . ,'";. i existing access configuration would not be changed with this proposal. Upon property line adjustment, the remnant portion of Tract A would retain its frontage on Jacob Lane on the west side of Tax Lot 9900. Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion B. C. The property line adjustment shall not reduce an existing lot or parcel below the minimum lot size standard or reduce setbacks below the minimum established by the applicable zoning districts in the Code. Applicant's Submittal: "Both properties are zoned LDR: therefore code section 3.2-200 must be consulted to confirm conformance with this criterion. Table 3.2-215 Base Zone Development Standards establishes the following criteria: minimum lot size = 4,500 sq. ft., minimum frontage = 45 feet, minimum front yard setback = 10 feet, minimum rear yard setback = 10 feet, minimum interior yard setback = 5 feet and minimum garage front yard setback ~ 18 feet. As can be seen by inspection of the plans included in this submittal, both properties meet these criteria after the adjustment." Finding 3: In accotdance with SDC 3.2-215 - and as stated in the applicant's submittal- for dwellings in the Low Density Residential District the minimum front and rear yard setback is 10 feet; the minimum side yard setback is 5 feet; and the minimum setback to a garage opening facing the street is 18 feet. The minimum size for lots on east-west streets in the LOR District is 4,500 it' (0.10 acres) with at least 45 feet of frontage. Finding 4: The proposed property line adjustment would maintain the existing, conforming front and side yard setbacks for the dwelling on Tax Lot 9800. Finding 5: Currently, the rear yard setback for the existing dwelling on Tax Lot 9800 is approximately 80 feet, which exceeds the minimum requirements of SDC 3.2-215. The proposed property line adjustment would increase the rear yard setback to approximately 348 feet. Finding 6: Currently, Tax Lot 9800 has 80 feet of street frontage on Jacob Lane. The proposed . property line adjustment would maintain the 80 feet of street frontage, which exceeds the minimum frontage requirement of SDC 3.2-215. Finding 7: The proposed property line adjustment would increase the size of Tax Lot 9800 to approximately 32,500 ft', which exceeds the minimum lot size requirement ofSDC 3.2-215. Finding 8: The proposed property line adjustment would decrease the size of Tract A from 72,548 it'to 50,848 ft', which exceeds the minimum lot size in the LOR District. The existing Tract A frontage on Jacob Lane would not be affected by the property line adjustment. Additionally, because there are no existing or proposed structures on Tract A, building setbacks are not applicable to this area. Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion C. D. The property line adjustment shall not violate any previous conditions the Approval Authority may have imposed on the lots or parcels involved in the application. Applicant's Submittal: "The conditions of approval for Levi Landing, Levi Landing 2"d Addition and Levi Landing 2nd Addition Replat are applicable to this adjustment. None of the conditions of approval in for these subdivisions are violated by this adjustment." Finding 9: The lots proposed for property line. adjustment are subject to Conditions, Covenants and Restric.tions (CCRs) and Stormwater Maintenance Provisions for Levi Landing. (Document 97-73716 reco~ded 10/29/1997, and as amended by Document 2000-072060 recorded 12/21/2000 and Document 2001-058001 recorded 9/5/2001), a Conservation Easement recorded in part against Tract A of "Levi 3 . . ,- . , Landing 2nd Addition Replat of Lots 59, 60, 61, 62, 67 & Tract D" (Document #2001-058002 recorded 9/5/200 I), and the conditions of the Levi Landing subdivision approval issued 8/9/20.00_ Upon property line adjustment, the CCRs and conservation easement will remain in force and effect on each of the adjusted lots. Each property owner will be obligated to maintain the conservation easement area on their adjusted lot ~ including any private stormwater management facilities therein - in accordance with these recorded agreements. To ensure the lot owners are fully aware of their modified ownership and maintenance responsibilities under the provisions of these recorded agreements, staff advises that submittal of a signed acknowledgement will be required with the Final Survey. Finding 10: The proposed property line adjustment does not violate conditions of other prior land use decisions affecting the site. All recorded easements, agreements, covenants and restrictions will remain in effect for the affected lots upon adjustment of the property line. Finding II: The proposed property line adjustment .is predicated on two companion applications for property line adjustment affecting Tax Lots 9600, 9700 and 15400 (Cases TYPIIO-00003 and TYPIIO- 00004). Recording of the property line adjustment surveys and deeds for Tax Lots 9600, 9700 and 15400 is a prerequisite for the subject application: otherwise, the proposed property line adjustment would split Tract A into two separate parts, thereby creating an additional parcel. Conditions of Approval: 1. Each lot owner shall comply with the terms and conditions of the following, particularly with respect to stormwater provisions: i) the recorded Conservation Easement (Document 2001- 058002); ii) the Levi Landing CCRs and Stormwater Maintenance Provisions (Document 97- 73716 as twice amended; Document Nos. 2000-072060 and 2001-058001); and iii) the Levi Landing Subdivision Approval issued August 9, 2000. The City will prepare au Acknowledgement document for these terms and conditions for siguature by the lot owners. The Acknowledgement shall be signed and notarized by the lot owners and recorded prior to recording the Property Line Adjustment deed. 2. Prior to recording of the Final Survey, the property line adjustment surveys and deeds prepared for Tax Lots 9600, 9700 and 15400 (Cases TYPllO-00003 and TYPllO-00004) shall be recorded. Conclusion: As conditioned herein, this proposal satisfies.Criterion D. E. The property line adjustment shall not detrimentally alter the availability of existing public and/or private utilities to each lot or parcel in the application or to abutting lots or parcels. Applicant's Submittal: "All the surrounding properties are already developed and serviced with public and private utilities. The existing treatment and conveyance facilities existing on Tract A already have an easement and will not be influenced by the a4justment." . Finding 12: The proposed property line adjustment does not adversely affect the street frontages of Tax Lot 9800 and 15400 or other locations where existing public and private utility services are provided to the subject lots. Not all underground utilities are shown on the property line adjustment survey, but utility connections should be unaffected by the adjusted property lines. Finding 13: The applicant is proposing a variable-width private access easement along the rear of Tax Lots 9600-9900 to ensure the jointly-owned imd maintained private stormwater facility can be accessed by the adjoining property owners. Therefore, provision of - and access to - public and private utilities is not <;ompromised by this proposal. Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion E. 4 ;~. , . . , F. The property line adjustment shaD not increase the degree of non-conformity of each lot, parcel or structure that is non-conforming at the time of application. Applicant's Submittal: "No non-conformities will exist after the Glijustment." Finding 14: The dwelling on Tax Lot 9800 is and would remain a conforming structure with this proposal. There are no existing or proposed structures on Tract A. Therefore, the proposed property line adjustment does not increase any degree of non-conformity for the lots or the existing dwelling. Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion F. CONCLUSION: Considering these findings of fact, staff finds the Property Line Adjustment complies with the criteria ofSDC 5.]6-]25 and approves the application subject to the conditions listed below. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. Each lot owner shall comply with the terms aud conditions of the following, particularly with respect to stormwater provisions: i) the recorded Conservation Easement (Document 2001-058002); ii) the Levi Landing CCRs and Stormwater Maintenance Provisions (Document 97-73716 as twice amended; Document Nos. 2000-072060 and 2001-058001); and iii) the Levi Landing Subdivision Approval issued August 9, 2000. The City will prepare an Acknowledgement document for tbese terms and conditions for signature by the lot owners.
