DECISION
Proposal & Property
The proposal is a request for a land partition to create two lots (concurrent with a property line
adjustment with 130 Orange) for the property located at 395 Helman Main St. The application
includes a preliminary partition plat prepared by Polaris Land Surveying. The resultant property
configuration two lots fronting Orange with parcel 1 retaining the existing home and pool, and
proposed parcel 2 which will be vacant. There is no development proposed for the newly created
parcel at this time.
The subject properties were originally subdivided off the Able Helman Donation Land Claim
No. 40. There are no records in the county surveyor that show when these were originally
platted, and very likely may have been subdivided by deed. The two properties have frontage
along both Helman and Orange Streets and are served by an alley dinning along their southern
lot line. Both properties and the surrounding neighborhood are zoned Single Family (R-1-5).
There are no overlay zones that affect the subject properties. There are no significant
topographical or other envirom ental features. The property slopes gently from south to north.
Partition & Praperty Line Ail ustrrrent
As mentioned at the outset the proposal is a request for a land partition. The main subject
property at 395 Helrnan Street has one hundred feet of frontage along orange Street. The
PA 'T1-2020-00131
395 HeInian St./aha
Page 1
minimum lot width in the R-1-5 zone is fifty feet. As first glance the property appears to be all
ideal candidate to partition, however the location of the existing house would require either a
variance to lot width, or setbacks, or some combination of the two. Therefor the application
includes a concurrent property line adjustment shifting the line between 395 Helman and 130
Orange to the west by five feet. With 105 feet of frontage the property is able to be partitioned
without a variance. The resulting property configuration will leave the existing house at 395
Helman as fifty-five feet wide, and the newly created parcel as fifty feet wide. The property line
adjustment and partition will be recorded simultaneously on the partition plat.
The lots as proposed comply with the dimensional and minimum area requirements for the R-1-5
zoning district. The application materials state that they can demonstrate that the parcel to retain
the existing home and pool can be shown to meet the lot coverage standard of 50%, but does not
provide a breakdown of the impervious surface. A condition of approval has been added that will
require the applicant to provide a tally of the impervious surfaces to demonstrate that this
standard is met.
The application explains that all city facilities are available within the Orange and Helman
Streets right-of-way, including sanitary sewer and water. Conditions have been included below
to require that final utility plans be provided for the review and approval of the Planning,
Building, Electric and Public Works Departments, and that utilities be installed to serve each lot,
prior to signature of the final survey plat.
Public Input
Notice of the planning action was mailed to all properties within 200' feet of the subject property
as well as a physical notice posted along the frontage of the property. During the period of public
comment, no input was received either in favor or against the proposed partition.
The approval criteria for a Land Partition are detailed in AMC 18.5.3.050 as follows:
18.5.3.050 Preliminary Partition Plat Criteria
A. The future use for urban purposes of the remainder of the tract will not be impeded.
B. The development of the remainder of any adjoining land or access thereto will not be impeded.
C. The partition plan conforms to applicable City -adopted neighborhood or district plans, if any, and any
previous land use approvals for the subject area.
D. The tract of land has not been partitioned for 12 months.
E. Proposed lots conform to the requirements of the underlying zone, per part 18.2, any applicable
overlay zone requirements, per part 18.3, and any applicable development standards, per part 18.4
(e.g., parking and access, tree preservation, solar access and orientation).
F. Accesses to individual lots conform to the standards in section 18.4.3.080 Vehicle Area Design. See
also, 18.5.3.060 Additional Preliminary Flag Lot Partition Plat Criteria.
G. The proposed streets, utilities, and surface water drainage facilities conform to the street design
standards and other requirements in part 18.4, and allow for transitions to existing and potential future
development on adjacent lands. The preliminary plat shall identify all proposed public improvements
and dedications.
H. Unpaved Streets.
PA-T1-2020-00131
395 Helman St./aha
Page 2
1. Minimum Street Improvement. When there exists a 20-foot wide access along the entire street
frontage of the parcel to the nearest fully improved collector or arterial street, as designated in the
Comprehensive Plan, such access shall be improved with an asphaltic concrete pavement
designed for the use of the proposed street. The minimum width of the street shall be 20-feet with
all work done under permit of the Public Works Department.
2. Unpaved Streets. The Public Works Director may allow an unpaved street for access for a land
partition when all of the following conditions exist.
a. The unpaved street is at least 20-feet wide to the nearest fully improved collector or arterial
street. The City may require the street to be graded (cut and filled) to its standard physical
width, and surfaced as required in chapter 18.4.6 prior to the signature of the final partition
plat by the City.
b. The centerline grade on any portion of the unpaved street does not exceed ten percent.
c. The final elevation of the street shall be established as specified by the Public Works Director
except where the establishment of the elevation would produce a substantial variation in the
level of the road surface. In this case, the slope of the lot shall be graded to meet the final
street elevation.
d. Should the partition be on an unpaved street and paving is not required, the applicant shall
agree to participate in the costs and to waive the rights of the owner of the subject property to
remonstrate both with respect to the owners agreeing to participate in the cost of full street
improvements and to not remonstrate to the formation of a local improvement district to cover
such improvements and costs thereof. Full street improvements shall include paving, curb,
gutter, sidewalks, and the undergrounding of utilities. This requirement shall be precedent to
the signing of the final survey plat, and if the owner declines to so agree, then the application
shall be denied.
1. Where an alley exists adjacent to the partition, access may be required to be provided from the alley
and prohibited from the street.
J. Required State and Federal permits, as applicable, have been obtained or can reasonably be
obtained prior to development.
K. A partition plat containing one or more flag lots shall additionally meet the criteria in section
18.5.3.060.
The approval criteria for a Property Line Adjustment are detailed in AMC 18.5.3.120.B as follows:
B. Approval Criteria. The Staff Advisor shall approve or deny a request for a property line adjustment in
writing based on all of the following criteria.
1. Parcel Creation. No additional parcel or lot is created by the lot line adjustment.

by an overlay zone in part 18.3, all lots and parcels conform to the lot standards of the applicable
zoning district, including lot area, dimensions, setbacks, and coverage, per part 18.2. If a lot does not
conform to the lots standards of the applicable zoning district, it shall not be made less conforming by
the property line adjustment. As applicable, all lots and parcels shall identify a buildable area free of
building restrictions for physical constraints (i.e., flood plain, greater than 35 percent slope, water
resource protection zones).
3. Access Standards. All lots and parcels conform to the standards in section 18.4.3.080 Vehicle Area
Design. Lots and parcels that do not conform to the access standards shall not be made less
conforming by the property line adjustment.

criterion the objection is based on also precludes your right of appeal to LUBA on that criterion. Failure
of the applicant to raise constitutional or other issues relating to proposed conditions of approval with
sufficient specificity to allow this Department to respond to the issue precludes an action for damages
in circuit court.

18.4, and allow for transitions to existing and potential future development on adjacent lands, The preliminary plat shall identify all proposed
public improvements and dedications.
N. Unpaved Streets.
1. Minimum Street Improvement. When there exists a 20-foot wide access along the entire street frontage of the parcel to the nearest fully
improved collector or arterial street, as designated in the Comprehensive Plan, such access shall be improved with an asphaltic concrete
pavement designed for the use of the proposed street. The minimum width of the street shall be 20-feet with all work done under permit

2. Unpaved Streets. The Public Works Director may allow an unpaved street for access for a land partition when all of the following
conditions exist.

E. Proposed lots conform to the requirements Of the underlying zone, per part 18.2, any applicable
overlay zone requirements, per part 18.3, and any applicable development standards, per part 18.4 (e.g.,
parking and access, tree preservation, solar access and orientation),
Applicant's Finding:
The proposed parcels conform to the requirements of 1i-1-5 zone, Both parcels will have more than
5,00,0 square feet of area. Parcel #1, the parent parcel is proposed to be 7,392 square feet and Parcel
#2 is proposed to be 6,720 square feet in area. Both parcels comply with minimum lot width of 50feet.

The existing residence, and garage comply with the minimum setbacks in the zone. The new property
line is six -feet from the foundation of the residence and complies with the setbacks. The residence,
garage, pool, driveway and walkways account for 3,549 square feet of impervious surfaces on Parcel
#1. This is 48 percent and accounts for less than 50 percent coverage. All setbacks are met with the
proposal.
Proposed Parcel #2 is presently occupied by a 320 square foot shop building. This structure is requested
to be retained versus removed to accomplish the partition. This is due to the fact that demolishing the
structure is wasteful when it could be useful to the future property owner.
An 8-fiaot by 1 0-foot shed with a small lean-to attached to the side is at 130 Orange Avenue. This'shed
structure will need to be relocated to provide a three-foot side yard setback for small sheds.
Two parking spaces are provided in the driveway of the existing residence. With the future site
development of Parcel #2, access will be taken from the alley and required parking would be provided
by the future owner/builder.
Orange Avenue is to the north of the property. Including the right-of-way and the required minimum
front yard setback of 15-feet, adequate solar setback is provided for a 21-foot tall shade producing
point setback less than 50 percent of the lot's north to south dimension.
The survey shows the locations of the existing trees on the properties. There is not a development
proposal with the application. It would be much more appropriate for the future developer of the site to
determine which trees are selected for preservation or removal. There are three trees that are
considered significant trees per AMC 18.6.1.030. A These trees will require evaluation by the future
property owner and determination if they should be preserved or removed. Due to the location of one
of the trees within the buildable area and being a tree on the prohibited plant list, it will likely require
removal. The other two trees are larger stature, but they also need a professional evaluation by the
future, property owner who would be building. At this stage, it would be inappropriate to propose
protection or removal for trees when it is not known when site disturbance or construction will occur.
The utility installation necessary for the platting of the proposed partition will not impact the significant
trees.
There are street trees along the frontage of Helman Street and Orange Avenue of proposed Parcel #1.
These are on the property and not within the park row. A street tree will be planted in the park row of
proposed Parcel #2 prior to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy of the future home on Parcel #2.
F. Accesses to individual lots conform to the standards in secflon 18,43.080 Vehicle Area Design, See
also, 18.5,3.060 Additional Preliminary Flag Lot Partition Plat Criteria,

Page 7 of 8
RECEIVED BY EMAIL,,
The lot line adjustment reduces the width of 130 Orange Avenue by five feet from 90-feet wide to 85-feet
wide which is wider than the minimum setback in the zone. The lot width of 3'95 Helmon Street will be
increased to 105-feet which allows for the proposed partition. The resulting lot areas of both 130 Orange
Avenue and 395 Helman Street exceed minimum lot areas in the zone. The setbacks of each parcel are
met or would be met through the relocation of the shed that does not comply with the minimum 3-foot
setback from the shored property line. Both lots are conforming and not made less conforming.
The adjusted lot area of 130 Orange Street is reduced from 12,095 square feet to 11,423 square feet. The
resulting coverage of 130 Helmon Street includes 2,526 square feet of impervious structures and surfaces.
This is approximately 20 percent of the total lot area.
There are no physical constraints on the property and the residential lot is occupied by a single-family
residence and associated outbuildings, therefore, no building envelope is proposed.
There is a shed on 130, Orange Avenue that will need to be relocated to have a minimum setback of three -
feet for the small, garden shed that is more than 50-feetfrom the front property line and not more than
15-feet in average height,
I Access Standards,, All lots and parcels conform to the standards in section 18.4,3,080 Vehicle Area
Design. Lots and parcels that do not conform to the access standards shall not be made less conforming
by the property line adjustment.
Applicant's Finding:
The access to 395 Helmon Street is from Helman to the driveway curb cut that accesses the garage. 130
Orange Street has driveway curb cut access from Orange Avenue. The accesses to the lots are not
proposed to be modified with the property line adjustment request.
C. Final Property Line Adjustment Plat. The final plat for Property Line AdjUStrIMILS shall be prepared
as a partition plat, and meet the requirements of sections 1 &53J)90,
Applicant's Finding:
