SECTION_ 111.. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Site Information:
The subject properties are residential lots created as part of the Sullivan Partition (MLP 97-
0012). The partition was only recently recorded and so all three partition lots appear as
one tax lot on the Washington County Tax Map. The Loft Line Adjustment request involves
Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 of the Sullivan Partition. Parcel 1 contains an existing single-family
dwelling.
Proposal Description:
The proposed Lot Line Adjustment would relocate the common property line between
Parcel `1 and Parcel 2. This is the rear lot line of Parcel 1 and the front lot line of Parcel 2.
SECTION IV. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
COMPLIANCE WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTIONS:
LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT • APPROVAL STANDARDS: Section 18.410.040 contains the
fallowing standards for approval of a Lot Line Adjustment request:
Section 18.410.040 - Approval Criteria states that the Director shall approve or deny
a request for a lot line adjustment in writing based on findings that the fallowing
criteria are satisfied:
An additional parcel is not created by the lot line adjustment, and the existing parcel
reduced in size by the adjustments is not reduced below the minimum lot size
established by the zoning district;
No new lofts will be created as part of this adjustment; two (2) lots exist and two (2) lots will
remain after the proposed adjustment. The underlying zoning is R-7 which has a 5,000
square foot minimum lot size, Tigard Community Development Code Table 18.510.2. The
lots (22,0197 and 9,503 square feet respectively) exceed the minimum lot size and will
continue to exceed it (21,506 and 10,094 square feet respectively) after the proposed Lot
Line Adjustment. Therefore, this standard is satisfied.
By reducing the lot size, the lot or structures(s) on the lot will not be in violation of
the site development or zoning district regulations for that district;
NOTICE OF DECISION MIS 99-0006 - SIGWORTH LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT PAGE 2 OF 4
The proposed Lot Line Adjustment would reduce the size of Parcel 1 and increase the size
of Parcel 2. This standard, therefore, applies only to Parcel 1. The Table below
summarizes the dimensional standards of the R-7 zone relative to the proposal;

Maximum Height 35 ft. N/A NIA
Minimum Landscape Requirement 20% N/A N/A,
Ill Single-family attachad residential units permitted at one dwelling per lot with no more that five attached units in one grouping.
[2] Lot coverage includes all buildings and impervious surfaces;
The data above indicates that all applicable dimensional standards will be met. The
setback standards do not apply to Parcel 2, as no building exists or is proposed at this
time.
The resulting parcels are in conformity with the dimensional standards of the zoning
district, including:
o The minimum width of the building envelope area shall meet the lot requirement
of the applicable zoning district;
* The loft area shall be as required by the applicable zoning district. In the case of
a flag lot, the access way may not be included in the lot area calculation;
o Each lot created through the partition process shall front a public right-of-way by
at least 15 feet or have a legally recorded minimum 15-foot wide access
easement; and
* Setbacks shall be as required by the applicable zoning district.
The table above indicates that all dimensional standards of the R-7 zone are met. Parcel 1
has direct access to SW Juliet Terrace. Parcel 2 fronts a 20-foot access and utilities
easement to SW Juliet Terrace. Therefore, this criterion is met.
With regard to flag lots:
When the partitioned lot is a flag lot, the developer may determine the location of
the front yard, provided that no side yard is less than 10 feet. Structures shall
generally be located so as to maximize separation from existing structures.
A screen shall be provided along the property line of a lot of record where the
paved drive in an access way is located within ten feet of an abutting lot in
NOTICE OF DECISION MIS 99-0006 - SIGWORTN LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT PAGE 3 OF 4
accordance with Section 18.745.040. Screening may also be required to maintain
privacy for abutting lots and to provide usable outdoor recreation areas for
proposed development.
Neither lot is a flag lot; therefore, this standard does not apply.
The fire district may require the installation of a fire hydrant where the length of an
access way would have a detrimental effect on fire-fighting capabilities.
No access way is being created or altered; therefore, this standard does not apply.
Where a common drive i to be provided to serve more than one lot, a reciprocal
easement which will ensure access and maintenance rights shall be recorded with
the approved partition map.
Both lots have individual access to SW Juliet Terrace., Therefore, this standard is met.
Any access way shall comply with the standards set forth in Chapter 18.705:
Access, Egress, and Circulation.
The access way that serves Parcel 2 was reviewed and approved as part of the Sullivan
Partition review (MLP 97-0012). The proposed Lot Line Adjustment will not alter any access
way; therefore, this standard does not apply.
