The application indicates that the two resultant parcels will include a 1.87 acre parcel which contains the existing residence, and a 0.18 acre parcel situated in the southwest corner of the parent parcel. The application also includes a request for an Exception to Street Standards to not install city standard street frontage improvements along Walker Avenue COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Single -Family Residential; ZONING: R-1-7.5; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 1E15AC; TAX LOTS; 7900 SUBMITTAL DATE: DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: STAFF APPROVAL DATE: APPEAL DEADLINE (4:30 P.M.) FINAL DECISION DATE: APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: DECISION Aug 18, 2021 Aug 27, 2021 September 22, 2021 October 6, 2021 October 7, 2021 April 5, 2023 The proposal is a request for land partition to create two parcels. One parcel will include the existing single- family residence, Accessory Residential Unit, and a barn located at 970 Walker Avenue, and the new vacant parcel will front and be accessed from Walker Avenue in the southeast corner of the parent parcel. The subject property is located on the west side of Walker Ave. between the intersections of Hiawatha Place and Woodland Drive. The surrounding neighborhood to the east, west, north and south is comprised of single-family homes on lands zoned Single -Family Residential (R-1-7.5). Paradise Creek, an intermittent/ephemeral stream is present, running south to north along the eastern property line of the subject property. The property is 2.05 acres in size. The property slopes downhill to the northeast at an approximate 18% slope. The property includes water resource protection areas along Paradise Creek, but they will be unimpacted by the proposed partition. There is a single-family residence centrally located on the property accessed by a driveway entering from the north west corner of the property off of Walker Ave, The proposal is to divide the subject property into two parcels in roughly a north -south direction so that the existing house remains on one lot (Parcel 2) and a new vacant lot (Parcel 1) is created. When the new vacant lot is developed in the future, the home will be accessed from Walker Ave. Both parcels exceed the minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet for the zone with Parcel 1 being approximately 81,712 square feet in size and Parcel 2 being 7,723 square feet according to the site plan submitted with the application. PA -TI -2021-00161 970 Walker Ave./bg Page I The existing lot is large enough to be divided further with total potential development of the parent property potentially accommodating 6 parcels through a subdivision, The applicant is not presently proposing a subdivision, however, their application materials include a "future conceptual flag lot layout" schematic to demonstrate that the currently proposed partition will not impede the future development of the property consistent with the residential base density allowable in the R-1.7.5 zone. This fixture conceptual flag lot layout has not been evaluated as part of this application nor is it approved as part of this planning action. The conceptual layout does sufficiently demonstrate that several configurations for future partitioning are feasible and that the proposed partition does not prevent future urbanization of the remaining property. There are no previous planning actions are land partitions on file for the subject property for the past 12 months. As described earlier, both lots exceed the minimum lot size of 7,500 for the R-1-7.5 zone. According to the application, proposed. The lots are configured in somewhat unusual shapes due to the size of the existing property, and the delineation of one new lot in the southwest corner of the pfoperty. The existing property is presently wider than it is deep at 372'.65 wide and 296.15' deep. This preexisting condition does not presently comply with the requirement that the lot width does not exceed the lot depth. Lot width and depth are defined in 18.6.1.030 as follows. Lot Width. The average (mean) horizontal distance between the side lot lines, ordinarily measured parallel to the front lot line. Lot Depth. The horizontal distance from the midpoint of the front lot line to the midpoint of the rear lot line. Through the proposed partition Parcel 2 comes closer to complying with this standard with a decreased lot width of approximately 317' as a result of the proposed partition. The new parcel created (Parcel 1) complies with the standard that the lot width does not exceed the lot depth with a width of 78' and a depth of approximately 107'. Land partitions which create new lots are required to be configured so that a 21 -foot high structure can be located on the lot and the required solar setback will not exceed 50 percent of the lot's north -south lot dimension (AMC 18.4.8.040.A). The north -south lot dimension of Parcel 1 is 78 feet. This parcel has relatively steep (20-31%) along the frontage of the parcel, yet levels off approximately 20' back from the front property line. The topography of the property has a five percent slope downhill to the north from the midline of Parcel 1. This would require a solar setback of 38 feet for a 21 -foot high structure on Parcel 1. Parcel I is 78' wide in a north south dimension. As a result, the lot meets the solar access performance standard because the 38 feet required for a 21 -foot high structure is less than half of the north south dimension of Parcel I of 39 feet. Access to the vacant lot (Parcel 1) will cross steeply sloped areas, but the application shows such slopes do not exceed 25% along the northern portion of the frontage. As such access to the newly created Parcel I as proposed can come directly off of Walker Avenue in this northern portion of the frontage. Further by locating the new drive access in the northern portion of the frontage, the driveway separation between the new driveway apron and a future driveway serving the adjacent vacant property to the south can be accommodated in compliance with Ashland's access management standards for driveway separation. The site is served by city facilities including water, sanitary sewer and storm drainage facilities in Walker Ave. An existing fire hydrant is in the Walker Avenue right of way at the corner of Parcel I as proposed. I terms of adequate transportation, Walker Ave. is improved with paving, curb and gutter in place along the subject property's frontage. Walker Ave, is designated as an Avenue or Major Collector, and required PA -TI -2021-00161 970 Walker Ave./bg Page 2 street improvements along the property frontage would include curb, gutter, paving, parking, storin drains, park row planting strips, sidewalks, and potentially bike lanes. Presently Walker Ave. is paved with curb and gutter, but sidewalks, park -row, and bike lanes are not provided, Given the complexity of the improvements required would benefit from being designed in the context of a larger neighborhood design process, or in consideration of the future subdivision and development of proposed Parcel 2 , the applicant has requested an exception to street standards to not include improvements to Walker Avenue at this time, and have proposed participation in a Local Improvement District as an alternative. Staff finds that existing topographic constraints along the property's frontage pose difficulties in acconni-iodating standard park row and sidewalk improvements, and further finds that the installation of sidewalks, park rows, and potential bike lanes would be better accommodated in this neighborhood through a district wide design and installation process. A condition of approval of this planning action requires the applicant to sign in favor of the future improvements to Walker Avenue to pay their proportionate cost of the necessary improvements and not to remonstrate against the formation of a Local Improvement District (LID). Staff finds that adequate key City facilities are available within the adjacent Walker Ave. right-of-way and will be extended by the applicant to, serve the proposed Parcel 1. Conditions have been included below to require that final electric service, utility and civil plans be provided for the review and approval of the Staff Advisor and city departments, and that civil infrastructure be installed by the applicants according to the approved plans, inspected and approved prior to the signature of the final survey plat. The approval criteria for a partition are in AMC 18.63.060 as follows: 18.5.3.050 Preliminary Partition Plat Criteria The approval authority shall approve an application for preliminary partition plat approval only where all of the following criteria are met. 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, 18.3 3,0601 Additional Preliminary Fllag 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 184, 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. 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. PA -11-2021-00161 970 Walker Ave./bg Page 3 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 lievell 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, I. 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 an Exception to the Street Standards are in AM4 C 18.4.6.020.1b as follows: 1. Exception to the Street Design Standards.

The remaining parcel area, 81,712.00 square foot remains with the residence and ARU at 970 Walker Avenue. An exception to street standards to sign in favor of a Local Improvement District is requested. Minor Land Partition 970 Walker Avenue Page 1 of 8 +12411VAINI '411121 LOIN The subject property is a 2.05 acre the east side of Walker Avenue. The lot is 964.24 feet south of Siskiyou Boulevard and 171.86 feet north of the Ross Lane and Walker intersection. The subject property has 342,49 -feet of frontage on Walker Avenue and extends 295.50 feet east. The lot was created Volume 393, Pg. 40 of the Geed Records of Jackson County The property is occupied by a 2,208 square foot, single -story with basement, single family residence. There is a 600 square foot detached garage, there is 574 square feet of heated, guest quarters above the garage. A large deck and patio area are present. In the northeast corner of the property there is an approximately 720 square foot barn. Paradise Creek, an intermittent/ephemeral stream is present, running south to north along the eastern property line. The general topography of the property slopes gradually with six to ten percent from the south to north, northeast towards the creek. There is a road slope about seven feet from the back of the curb line of Walker Avenue. Along the subject property front property line, there is steeper slope. The surveyors found the slopes to be 31 percent, not 35 percent as shown on the city maps. Walker Avenue has a 60 -foot -wide public right-of-way, Walker Avenue along the frontage of the property is improved with pavement, curb and gutter. There are no sidewalks on this portion of Walker Avenue. The most adjacent sidewalks are 566 -feet to the north. {{ 4 I � - Figure 1: Zoning Map Minor Land Partition 970 walker Avenue Figure 2: Vicinity Map Page 2 of 8 FINDINGS OF FACT: 18.5.3.050 Preliminary Partition Plat Criteria A. The fixture use for urban purposes of the remainder of the tract will not be impeded. Applicant's Finding: The future use of the remainder of the tract as residential use will not be impeded by the proposal. The existing residence and associated improvements do not prevent the urban uses of the property. The proposed area of Parcel #1, 81,712 square feet. The area of Parcel #1 with 1.876 acres (81,712 SF) has adequate area to allow for the proposed minor land partition and retains a large area of the property that could have a future partition or subdivision. The property is not within the Performance Standards Overlay. Any future partition or subdivision would need to determine what type of review procedure they would go through for future development. The remainder of the area of the tract has the potential to partitioned in a number of configurations ranging from cottage cluster community development, minor partitions or subdivision. The proposed partition of a southern portion of the parcel as a smaller, developable area, does not prevent future urbanization of the remaining parcel area. The property owner is going to a major renovation of the residence and has no plans for the north side of the property. There is ample area that many conceptual layouts including flag lots, cottage cluster development, etc. could occur but there are no intentions to do that at this point as the `developable' area is in the viewshed of the house being renovated to capture the stunning views to the north. The area to the south and east of the existing residence is the terraced yard area of the residence, and the riparian corridor of Paradise Creek. There is not adequate access or setbacks to create parcel(s) to the east or south of the existing residence and the required riparian corridor of Paradise Creek. One of the conceptual layouts has been provided merely as an example of a future development. B. The development of the remainder of any adjoining land or access thereto will not be impeded. Applicant's Finding: The development of the remainder of any adjoining land or access to adjacent residential lands will not be impeded by the proposal. 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. Applicant's Finding: Minor Land Partition 970 Walker Avenue Page 3 of 8 There are no City adopted neighborhood or district plans. To the applicant's knowledge, there are not previous approvals for the subject property that would prevent the proposed partition. D. The tract of land has not been partitioned for 12 months. Applicant's Finding: The tract of land has not been partitioned for the past 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 develop►Hent 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 R-1-7.5 zone. Both parcels will have more than 7,500 square feet of area. Parcel #1 is proposed to be 1.876 acres or 81,712 square feet. This area exceeds the minimum in the zone. Parcel #1 is proposed to have 302.49 feet of frontage on Walker Avenue and the lot depth remains 296.15 feet. The existing width along Walker Avenue is greater than the lot is deep. The proposed partition decreases the non -conforming width reducing it, but the non -conforming width being greater than the depth remains. The parcel is developed and no changes to the orientation, or solar access are modified with the proposal. The allowed coverage for Parcel #1 is 36,770.4 square feet in area. There is 2,473 square feet of building footprint, there is 3,522 square feet of asphalt areas. There is approximatly 700 square feet of deck. The total site coverage is 6,695 square feet. The coverage on the proposed lot complies with the standards. Parcel #2 is proposed to be a 7,723 square foot in area. The lot area exceeds the minimum in the zone. Parcel #2 is 78.23 feet wide to meet required north/south dimension for the purposes of solar access and the lot is more than 100 feet deep to the mid -point of the rear lot line. For the purposes of the solar setback ordinance, based on the rough data presented, the average slope of the new parcels to the north is approximately six (6) percent downhill. This requires a minimum 77.9 - foot north/ south lot dimension. .445-.06 =,385 301385 = 77.9' minimum lot width. The proposed lot is 78.23 feet wide which meets the minimum lot width to meet solar setback standard A. Minor Land Partition 970 Walker Avenue Page 4of8 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. Applicant's Finding: There is an existing driveway that accesses the residence. An existing driveway curb cut is approximately 30 feet north of the new property line. This driveway access will be relocated to the new parcel. The future home design will determine the location of the driveway. The future driveway will provide for adequate spacing to achieve the minimum required of 24 feet. The future residential development on Parcel #2 willprovide adequate parking for the future single-family residence at the time of construction. 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. Applicant's Finding: Walker Avenue is an Avenue. Walker Avenue has a 60 -foot -wide public right-of-way. An exception to the street standards has been requested to not installed park rows and sidewalks along the property's frontage but to sign a local improvement district. The reason for this is that there is limited right-of-way and connectivity offsite of the property is challenged by preexisting utilities, topographical constraints, fences and vegetation. The proposed property could place two street trees in the front yard area, outside of the public right-of- way and future right-of-way so they would be irrigated and not interfere with future street improvements. There are adequate public facilities in the WalkerAvenue right-of-way to serve the proposed parcel. Sanitary Sewer - The property is currently served by a 6 -in sanitary sewer main in Walker Avenue. The proposed sanitary sewer stub -out for future connection will be in the northwest corner of the new parcel. Water - The property is currently served by a 6 -in water main in Walker Avenue. A new water service is proposed and the City of Ashland Water Department will tap existing water main and install the new water service and water meter box. Minor Land Partition 970 WalkerAvenue Page 5 of 8 Storm Drainage - The property is currently served by an 8 -in storm sewer main in Walker Avenue. The stormwater generated on the proposed new parcel will be taken to the curb and a weephole to get the water into the Walker Avenue system is proposed. The property is served by the Talent Irrigation District (TID). The TID irrigation will remain with the parent parcel to allow for continued irrigation of the large acre parcel and easements as necessary will be provided on the final plot. H. 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 of the Public Works Department. Applicant's Finding: Not applicable, Walker Avenue is paved to the minimum street improvement requirements. 2. Unpaved Streets. 'rhe Public Works Director may allow an unpaved street for access for a land partition when all of the following conditions exist. Applicant's Finding: Not applicable, Walker Avenue is paved. I. Where an alley exists adjacent to the partition, access may be required to be provided from the alley and prohibited from the street. Applicant's Finding: No alley exists adjacent to the partition. J. Required State and Federal permits, as applicable, have been obtained or can reasonably be obtained prior to development. Applicant's Finding: No state or federal permits are required. Minor Lancs Partition 970 Walker Avenue Page 6 of 8 K. A partition plat containing one o►• more flag lots shall additionally nneet the criteria in section 18.5.3.060. Applicant's Finding: Not applicable. 18.5.7.040- Tree Removal: Applicant's Finding: No trees are proposed for removal to accomplish the partition request. EXCEPTION TO STREET STANDARDS 18.4.6.020.B.1. Applicant's Finding: The proposal does not include improvements to Walker Avenue in favor of a Local Improvement District. This is because the required street improvements along the frontage of the parcels involved would include curb, gutter, paving, parking, storm drains, park row planting strips, sidewalks, and potentially bike lanes. Given that the complexity of the improvements required and the limited frontage, a larger neighborhood context should be considered. The code requires a minimum of 12 feet of park row and sidewalk. The property could dedicate the two feet for improvements to accommodate future frontage installation. Exception to the Street Design Standards. The approval authority may approve exceptions to the standards section in 18.4.6.040 Street Design Standards if all of the following circumstances are found to exist. a. There is demonstrable difficulty in meeting the specific requirements of this chapter due to a unique or unusual aspect of the site or proposed use of the site. Applicant's Finding: The code allows for the granting of exceptions when physical conditions exist that preclude development of a public street, or components of the street. Such conditions may include, topography, mature trees, and limited right-of-way. All of these conditions are present along the frontage. Walker Avenue is an avenue along the frontage of the property. The street is presently improved with pavement, curb and gutter. The street has a 5D foot wide right-of-way. There is approximately 3b feet of paved width. There is approximately 10 feet from the Minor Land Partition 970 Walker Avenue Page 7 of 8 curb to the property line then there is a grade change that would have substantial impacts on sidewalk and parkrow installation. The topography and the limited right-of-way prevents installation of sidewalk and parkrow. The neighborhood context requires a larger plan to address constraints. b. The exception will result in equal or superior transportation facilities and connectivity considering the following factors where applicable. Applicant's Finding: The requested exception results in equal transportation facilities as no changes are planned. c. The exception is the minimum necessary to alleviate the difficulty. Applicant's Finding: The exception is the minimum necessary as it maintains existing improvements and makes no alterations. The topography, established vegetation, presence of retaining walls and walkways on the adjacent properties prevent a street improvements to the standards. d. The exception is consistent with the Purpose and Intent of the Street Standards in subsection 18.4.6.040.A. ,Applicant's Finding: The Purpose and Intent of the .Street Standards section speaks to connectivity and design focus on a safe environment for all users, design streets as public spaces, and enhance the livability of neighborhoods, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposal is consistent with the standards as there is no connectivity for the sidewalk thus the proposal to wait until a safe design for all users of the street in the context of the entire neighborhood, and the proposal makes no alterations to the existing system.

ASHLAND PLANNING DEPARTMENT PRE -APPLICATION CONFERENCE COMMENT SHEET March 24, 2021 SITE: 970 Walker Street APPLICANT: Airy Gunter OWNER: Lara Foote REQUEST: Partition PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: This pre -application conference is intended to highlight significant issites before the applicant prepares and subrrrits a forinal application. Minimum Lot Size: Each proposed lot is substantially larger than the minimum (7500 sq. ft.) thus staff does not anticipate any difficulty in meeting this requirement. Staff notes that the preapplication materials indicate that the formal application will also include a conceptual future development layout to demonstrate future urbanization potential. Performance Standards Options: While the property is outside the PSO overlay, section 18.3.9.030.D.1 provides for use of the Performance Standards option in those instances where the lot is over 2 acres (I 8.3.9.030.D.1). In staff's assessment, even subsequent to partitioning off one lot as is currently proposed, the presence of a creek on the remaining 1.89 acre property makes the parcel a good candidate for a Performance Standards Options (PSO) subdivision or cottage housing development as 18.3.9.030.D.2 provides for use of these standards where, "the development under this chapter is necessary to protect the environment and the neighborhood frorn degradation is,hich tivould occur from development to the max.innan density alloic�ed under subdivision standards, or lvould be equal in its aesthetic and environmental value." As such the future development layout should consider a density of 3.6 units per acre, or the conceptual location of 5 additional dwellings to demonstrate the partition proposed will not impede the future development of the site. Driveway Separation and Driveway Location: Walker Avenue is considered to be an Avenue, or Major Collector, under the city's Transportation System Plan (TSP). Controlled access standards seek to limit the number and placement of access points - for collectors these standards generally seek a separation of 75 feet between driveways (18.4.3.080.C.3). The lot to the south of proposed Parcel 2 (391E15AC 7802) is vacant and has no curb cut installed. Further soutli, taxlot 7805 leas a curb cut adjacent to its northern lot line. Given this preexisting condition it is likely that the lot immediately to the south of the subject property will need to install it's curb cut adjacent to the north property line, as such that will shift where a curb cut could be appropriately located on proposed parcel 2. Care should be taken as part of this partition to demonstrate the proposed relocation of the existing curb cut serving proposed lot 2 will meet access management spacing standards for driveway separation. The new curb cuts will require permit from the Public Works/Engineering Division prior to recording of the final survey plat. 970 Walker Ave. March 24, 2021 /bg Page 1 To be shown with submittal: Existing Building envelopes and proposed addition. As setbacks from the existing dwellings (6'minirnum side -yard) and any proposed property line are to be met with the new partition, the application shall show the existing building footprint, and any proposed expansion that would impact this setback. Solar Access: Both parcels are required to meet solar setback A, and the preapplication materials indicate that the parcel to the South has been designed to permit the location of 21 -foot high structure with a setback which does not exceed 50 percent of the lot's north - south lot dimension pursuant to 18.4.8. Given the 80' lot width and the maximum heigh at 40' from the property line of just 21' this may preclude a two-story home in this location. However, by locating the curbut to the north (see cornment above) and shifting the building envelope to the south it may be feasible to accommodate a second story. Any shared access, utility, or other easements. Please review the comments from the Talent Irrigation District regarding water rights and easements. Any street dedication area, if necessary, to accommodate park -row and sidewalk installation. Conceptual fixture development layout for Parcel 1. Utility Installation: The submittal will need to demonstrate that adequate facilities exist or can be provided to serve the proposed parcels. Utide rgrounding of existing services and utility installation to serve newly created lots is typically required to be complete prior to the signature of the final survey plat. Trees: Any trees greater than 6 inches diameter measured at breast height on the property most be identified by size and species on the site plan or a separate tree plan and submitted with the application. To comply with the Street Tree standard, one 2" caliper tree per 30' of properties frontage shall be identified as existing, or shall be proposed to be installed. Street/Sidewalk Improvements: Walker Ave. is designated as an Avenue or Major Collector, and required street improvements along the frontage of the parcels involved would include curb, gutter, paving, parking, storm drains, park row planting strips, sidewalks, and potentially bike lanes. Given that the complexity of the improvements required would benefit from being designed in the context of a larger neighborhood design process, or in consideration of the fixture subdivision and development of proposed Parcel I , staff believes that there is an argument to be made that the most prudent option here would be for the applicants to sign in favor of the future improvements to Walker Avenue and agree to pay their proportionate cost of the necessary improvements and not to remonstrate against the formation of a Local Improvement District (LID). Please note that the future development of Parcel 1 with a subdivision or cottage housing development will likely require full sidewalk and parkrow installation. The applicant must determine the amount of right of way available for a fixture sidewalk and park -row on the formal application's site plan and in the event a street dedication is needed along the frontage of the property to accommodate the additional space needed to bring Walker Ave up to street standards that should be addressed in the application findings and final survey plat. 970 Walker Ave. March 24, 2021/bg Page 2 18.6.3.050 PRELIMINARY PLAT CRITERIA The approval authority shall approve an application for preliminary partition plat approval only where all of the following criteria are met. 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 remaining lot area, 81,598.00 square foot remains with the residence and ARU at 970 Walker Avenue. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: The subject property is a 2.05 acre the east side of Walker Avenue. The lot has 302.49 -feet of frontage on Walker Avenue and extends 295.50 feet east. The lot was created Volume 393, Pg. 40 of the Deed Records of Jackson County The property is occupied by a 2,208 square foot, single -story with basement, single family residence. There is a 600 square foot detached garage, there is 576 square feet of heated, guest quarters above the garage. A large deck and patio area are present. In the northeast corner of the property there is an approximatly 3,000 square foot barn. Paradise Creek parallels the eastern property line. The general topography of the property slopes gradually with six to ten percent from the south to north, northeast towards the creek. On the south side of the existing driveway the property slopes significantly at more than 35 percent. Walker Avenue has a 60 -foot wide right-of-way. Walker Avenue along the frontage of the property is improved with pavement and curb and gutter. There are no sidewalks on this portion of Walker Avenue. Lot Area: 81,600 square feet (approximately) The existing single-family residence, the driveway, barn and existing site improvements will be on the proposed Parcel 41. The property owners are in design phase for a major renovation to the residence. Additionally, the area over the garage will be converted to an accessory residential unit. All construction occurring on the site will be permitted. Depending upon the timing of the adoption of new codes that modify the ARU review process, the ARU changes to the guest house will be processed as a site review or as a building permit when the time comes. This lot and the residence will continue to be accessed by the driveway that enters the property near the north property line. There is ample area for future development of this parcel. The application submittal plan set will include a conceptual future development layout to demonstrate future urbanization potential. Lot Area: 30,000 to 35,000 square feet (approximately) The new parcel would have 80 -feet of frontage on Walker to accommodate for the minimum width to comply with solar setbacks. The parcel extends an average of 100 -feet to the east. The parcel is proposed to have a driveway accessed directly from Walker Avenue. A curb cut would be installed on the north 2 1 P a g e side of the property 75 -feet from the next adjacent property. An existing curb cut will be close to accommodate the new cut. Solar Setback Standard A: For the purposes of the solar setback ordinance, based on the rough data presented, the average slope of the new parcels to the north is approximately 6.5 percent downhill. This requires a minimum 79 -foot north / south lot dimension. Trees: There a number of trees on the site. Most the trees are found along the south and east property lines. There are remnants of a fruit orchard on the Walker Avenue side of the property with apple trees and other deciduous trees (winter observations). The proposed partition site plan will provide the locations, species, size and condition to address any tree removals that may be necessary. Future Urbanization: The proposed partition is sited in a manner which will allow for future additional parcels. The lot area 2.05 acres (89,298 SF) has adequate area to allow for a minor land partition at present and retains a large area of the property that could have a future partition or subdivision. The property is not within the Performance Standards Overlay. Any future partition or subdivision would need to determine what type of review procedure they would go through for future development. With the proposed partition, Parcel #1 is still 1.87 acres which allows for a variety of layout configurations.
