TO: Chairperson Ralph Lewis and Planning Commission Members
FROM: Dan Fleishman, Director of Planning and Development
DATE: April 27, 2020
SUBJECT: Roberts Industrial Park Modification
120 DAYS ENDS: June 24, 2020
This report presents the Planning Staff’s summary and analysis concerning this application. It was
developed with the input of other City departments and agencies.
Attached is an application for modification of the previous approval of the Roberts Industrial Park
Subdivision. The subdivision was originally approved by the Planning Commission as Land Use
File #3-02/91 and the plat recorded on September 25, 1991. The applicant proposed to expand two
of the lots in the subdivision by obtaining additional adjacent land. In January, 2018 the applicant
received approval from the Planning Commission (Land Use File 13-12/17) for that modification
with a requirement to either document or obtain utility easements for existing City-owned utilities
on another portion of the parcel from which the additional land was going to be obtained.
This application consists of the application form and narrative. Included in the packet is the
preliminary plan showing the lot modification from 2017. Lots 7 and 8 in the subdivision would be
expanded by a total of about 10,070 square feet. An aerial photo from March of 2020 shows that
that area to be added to the subdivision is being used as if it were part of these two lots:
C i t y o f S t a y t o n

The applicant reports that after two years of trying, he has been unable to obtain easements from the
adjacent property owner and has requested the Planning Commission remove the condition from the
2018 approval. The Public Works Director and the City Engineer have expressed concurrence with
removing the previous condition.

report.

testimony.

City of Stayton/Dan Fleishman,
In regards to the previous requirement to obtain easements on the Loveberg Property on the south side of the waterway
for the City of Stayton.
After MULTIPLE times and MANY months of trying to contact and achieve an agreement from the owners(Loveberg’s)
of the Property, have failed. I hold no hope of obtaining an easement. Therefore I am requesting to be relieved from that
requirement and to proceed with another application for a minor modification to the existing lot lines. I believe any
future development of the property to the south would be the proper and successful time to acquire any
easements. Thank you.
Respectfully,
Roberts Industries

I. NATURE OF APPLICATION
The applicant is requesting removal of a condition of approval placed on the amendment of a
previously approved and platted subdivision. In January 2018, the Planning Commission approved

remaining land of the parcel from which the expansion of the lots in the subdivision were being
derived. The applicant has been unable to obtain those easements and has requested the condition be
removed.
II. PUBLIC HEARING

Page 2 of 4
8. The properties are zoned Light Industrial (IL)
9. Lots 7 and 8 are addressed as 1080 Wilco Road. Lot 7 has 190 feet of frontage on Pacific
Court. Lot 7 has 107 feet of frontage on the Salem Ditch. Lot 8 has 210 feet of frontage on
Pacific Court and 276 feet of frontage on Wilco Road. Lot 8 has 122 feet of frontage on the
Salem Ditch. Lots 7 and 8 are together used as retail building supply establishment, with a
retail showroom/office, two warehouse buildings, and outdoor storage of building materials.
10. Tax lot 1000 is a 1.78 acre parcel of land located at the terminus of Peach Ave, of which
1.55 acres is located on the south side of the Salem Ditch and a 0.23-acre triangle of land is
located on the north side of the Salem Ditch. The portion of tax lot 1000 that is north of
Salem Ditch is used as part of the outdoor storage of building materials by the neighboring
retail building supply establishment.
11. The surrounding properties are zoned IL. The properties to the north, across Pacific Court
are gravel-surfaced vacant parcels used for outdoor storage. The property to the east is
developed for self-storage warehousing. One of the properties to the south, across the Salem
Ditch is developed for self-storage warehousing. The other two properties to the south,
across the Salem Ditch, including tax lot 1000, are vacant. The property to the west, across
Wilco Road, is developed as an automobile towing business.
12. The previous proposal was to absorb the portion of tax lot 1000 north of the Salem Ditch
into Lots 7 and 8. Lot 7 would increase from 1.84 acres in area to 2.02 acres. Lot 8 would
increase from 1.62 acres to 1.67 acres.

that is south of the Salem Ditch, without records of easements for these utilities.
14. The Planning Commission approved the previous application as Land Use File 13-12/17 on
January 29, 2018. Based on the recommendations from the City Engineer, a condition was
placed on the approval requiring the applicant to obtain the necessary easement for all of the
existing public utilities.
15. The applicant reports that he has attempted for two years to obtain the easements and has not
been able to do so.
A. AGENCY COMMENTS
The following agencies were notified of the proposal: City of Stayton Public Works, Marion
County Public Works, WAVE Broadband, Stayton Cooperative, Pacific Power & Light, NW
Natural Gas, Stayton Fire District, Santiam Water Control District, North Santiam School
District and Stayton Police Department. Marion County Building Inspection, Marion County
Planning Division, and Marion County Public Works replied they were not affected by the
proposal. Comments were received from the Stayton Public Works Department. The Public
Works Director consented to the lot line adjustment without getting the easement but noted that
any future development activity on tax lot 1000 will require granting of the easements.
B. ANALYSIS
Partition applications are required to satisfy approval criteria contained within Stayton
Municipal Code (SMC) Title 17, Chapter 24, Sections 040 and 050. The minor modification of
the previous approval must meet only those standards affected by the modification. The
existing utilities are on the remainder of the property from which the applicant intends to

of the property has not been cooperative. The Public Works Department has consented to the
removal of the condition of approval.

400 Block Evergreen Partition Proposal Narrative
Submitted on behalf of the North Santiam School District to the City of Stayton
Written by: Alan Kirby, Coordinator of College and Career Pathways, North Santiam School
District.
The North Santiam School District is currently under contract to purchase the vacant lot on the
400 block of N. Evergreen Ave. The proposed plan is to divide the lot into two lots for the
purpose of building single-family homes. These homes will be built in conjunction with the
Stayton High School construction class, which allows students to take part in building an actual
home and gives them true real-world experience in construction.
The surrounding area and roads are generally single family homes in the same size and scale
that we plan to build on these proposed lots. The initial plan is to build single-level, 3 bedroom
homes. The homes would fit into the neighborhood and do little to disrupt the area as it now
stands.
Traffic
We ask that the letter of an engineer be waived in regards to traffic impact. The addition of
two single-family homes to this street will bring negligible traffic effect.
Sight-Line Test: On March 31, 2020, a sight-line test was conducted for cars entering Evergreen
from the proposed lots. From both sites where the test was conducted, there was visibility all
the way to Washington St on the North (around 1000 feet+). From both sites, there was also
visibility to Ida St on the South (around 300 feet from the South lot).
Public Services
There is an 8-inch water supply available to access on Evergreen street, as well as a 10-inch
sanitary sewer line and 10 inch storm water line.
Storm water will be collected in catch basins on site for each of the lots. Each home will have a
system designed in accordance with the Portland Stormwater Manual. Infiltration tests were
performed on the property in February 14
th
of 2020, and results indicate that there is sufficient
absorption of water into the soil to allow for the simplified approach to this issue. Results of
the infiltration test are attached.
Cable, Natural Gas, and Electrical are all available to access on Evergreen Street.
Lot Design
It is proposed that we divide the property into two equal parts. Each lot would have its own
driveway and access. The lots would each by approximately 87 feet wide at the street, and 154
feet deep to the back of the lot. Both homes will be designed/engineered to meet the
requirements of the city.
There are approximately 40 trees of varying size and age on the property, including some very
large fir trees. Some of the fir trees would be removed, as well as some of the other trees on
the property (see attached tree inventory and plan). These will be removed by licensed
professionals hired by the school district.
Improvements on the sidewalk (widening by one foot) as required by the city would be
completed when the first home is completed.
Natural, Physical, and Geographic Features
There is not a flood hazard/flood plain on the property. There is a ditch/creek nearby,
but it is no adjacent to the property.
There are not any wetlands on the property
There are not important natural features on the property.
Historic Sites or Structures: Not applicable to this property
Deed Covenants or Restrictions: Not applicable to this property
Other documents to be attached (via email)
1. Lot map with notes regarding partition line, sewer line proposal, and note of sight
distance test placement
2. Tree inventory (2)

PROJECT:
Application for two-parcel partitioning of TL1100, located in the
400 block of N. Evergreen Avenue
DATE:
April 17, 2020
Background
I received a copy of the land use application for a partition provided by Developer North
Santiam School District, with a request by the City of Stayton to review and respond. The
application is for the two-lot partitioning of 091W10CD, Tax Lot 1100. The property is not
currently addressed, but is located just south of 480 N. Evergreen Avenue. Tax Lot 1100 is
approximately 0.62 acres in size.
The following land use application review concentrates on the public works aspects and
implications of the application, including anticipated impacts to existing public utilities and
recommended public improvements. The review findings and public works recommendations
are based on a review of the applicable public works portions of the City of Stayton Municipal
Code (SMC) and Public Works Design Standards (PWDS), and does not include a review of any
other agency’s requirements, or any building or other specialty code requirements covered
under such building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, fire, or any other applicable codes and
regulations that may be required for the project.
The Developer is required to obtain any and all required reviews, approvals, and permits
required by the Planning Conditions of Approval, SMC, PWDS, Marion County, ODOT, DEQ,
OHA-DWP, Fire Code Official, Building Official, and/or any other agencies having jurisdiction
over the work. The Developer shall coordinate with Public Works, Fire Code Official, Building
Official, and other appropriate agencies as necessary.
The City of Stayton Municipal Code and Public Works Standards are available online at
http://www.staytonoregon.gov, under the document center and the public works department
menus. It is recommended that City Staff review this memorandum in conjunction with their
application review.

APPLICATION REVIEW (4-17-20)
Project Overview
Project Site and Access
The application and GIS mapping show the location of the development to be within Township
9 South, Range 1 West, Section 10CD, Tax Lot 01100. Proposed vehicular access will be from
new driveway approaches constructed along N. Evergreen Avenue.
Existing Site Topography and Utilities
Existing site topography and utilities were not provided with the application. GIS mapping
indicates that there is an existing 10” sanitary sewer system, an 8” water main, and an 8” storm
drainage system within N. Evergreen Avenue.

utility easement is recommended to be provided along the frontage in accordance
with the PWDS. The additional R/W dedication and standard public utility easement
shall be shown on the plat.
Street Improvements – Street sections shall comply with PWDS 312, Geometric Design
Requirements by Street Functional Classification. It shall be the responsibility of the
Developer to preserve and protect the current pavement condition index rating and the
structural integrity of the existing roadways from construction traffic to the satisfaction
of the Public Works Director throughout all phases of development. Failure to preserve
and protect the roadways may result in the Developer being responsible for replacing
and reconstructing the damaged roadways at the Developer’s expense. It should be
noted that final asphalt concrete pavement and sidewalk sawcut lines for all street
improvements will be established by the City Inspector with the Design Engineer and
Contractor during construction.
o N. Evergreen Avenue – N. Evergreen Avenue along the frontage is considered to be
developed; therefore, additional street improvements will not be required with the
exception of the removal and replacement of the existing substandard sidewalks,
the removal of the existing driveway approach (if it will not be used), and

Section 17.24.050 Design Standards for Partition Preliminary Plans. Pursuant to SMC 17.24.050
the following criteria and objectives must be demonstrated as being satisfied by the application for
preliminary plan approval of a partitioning:
1. STREETS.
a. Streets shall be in alignment with existing streets in the vicinity of the proposed subdivision,
either by prolongation of existing centerlines or by connection with suitable curves. Streets
Planning Commission Order of Approval, Land Use File #3-04/20
NSSD Partitioning
Page 4 of 10
shall conform to the location, alignment, and width as indicated on the official map of streets
known as the Future Street Plan in the adopted Stayton Transportation System Plan
.
)
b. Streets should intersect at or near right angles as practicable, and in no case shall the angle
of intersection exceed 120 degrees.
c. The criteria of a and b above may be modified where the applicant can demonstrate to the
decision authority that the topography, or the small number of lots involved, or any other
unusual conditions justify such modification.
d. Bikeways and pedestrian ways shall be required in accordance with the City of Stayton Non-
Motorized Plan in the adopted Stayton Transportation System Plan.
e. Concrete curbs and concrete sidewalks shall be installed on all streets. The location and
width of sidewalks shall be determined by the decision authority. In making such
determination, the decision authority shall take into consideration the topography of the
land, the presence of improvements, trees or other plantings, the type of street, and the
location of sidewalks, if any, in adjacent areas or subdivision.
In residential neighborhoods, sidewalks shall be placed along the property line whenever
possible. In all cases, sidewalks shall be placed 1 foot from the property line on arterial and
collector streets.
Findings: No new streets are proposed. The Non-Motorized Plan does not call for any non-
motorized facilities near this property.
The Public Works Department has noted that the existing sidewalks do not meet the width
requirements, are in poor condition, and do not meet ADA standards. The Public Works
Department has recommended that the sidewalks be replaced across the frontage of the entire
parcel.
2. DEDICATION OF A RIGHT-OF-WAY. If a parcel of land to be divided includes any portion of
a right-of-way or street, the preliminary plan shall show where such right-of-way or street will
be dedicated for the purpose or use proposed.
Findings: N Evergreen Ave is designated as a Residential Local Street in the adopted
Transportation System Plan. The designated right of way width for N Evergreen Ave is 60 feet.
The existing right of way is 40 feet wide. The Public Works Department has indicated that,
dedication of an additional 10 feet of right of way is required, with a 10-foot public utility
easement behind the new right of way line. N Evergreen Ave is currently improved with 30 feet
of travel way, curb, gutter and sidewalk. In front of the subject property there is an existing four-
foot curbside sidewalk. The Public Works Department has indicated that no street improvements
are required, but that the sidewalk will need to be replaced with a 5-foot wide curbside sidewalk
at the time of construction of the homes.
3. DEAD-END STREETS AND CUL-DE-SACS. When it appears necessary to continue a street into
a future subdivision or adjacent acreage, streets shall be dedicated or platted to the boundary of
a division without a turn-around. In all other cases, dead-end streets and cul-de-sacs shall have
a turn-around with a radius of not less than 45 feet to the property line. Unless otherwise
approved by the decision authority, the length of the street to the cul-de-sac bulb shall not
exceed 450 feet in length.
Findings: No dead-end streets are proposed.

Page 5 of 10
4. RESERVE BLOCK.
a. Reserve blocks controlling the access to public ways or which will not prove taxable for
special improvements may be required by the decision authority, but will not be approved
unless such strips are necessary for the protection of the public welfare or of substantial
property rights, or both, and in no case unless the land comprising such strips is placed in
the name of the City for disposal and dedication for street or road purposes whenever such
disposal or dedication has the approval of the decision authority.
b. In no case shall a reserve block be platted along a street that is dedicated to the required full
width.
Findings: No reserve blocks are proposed.
5. STREET WIDTHS.
a. The location, width, and grade of all streets must conform to any approved transportation
master plan or recorded subdivision plat. Where the location of a street is not shown in an
approved street plan, the arrangement of streets in a development shall either provide for the
continuation or appropriate projection of existing principal streets in the surrounding areas
or conform to a plan for the neighborhood approved or adopted by the City to meet a
particular situation where topographical or other conditions made continuance or
conformance to existing streets impractical or where no plan has been previously adopted.
b. In addition, new streets may be required to be located where the City Engineer determines
that additional access is needed to relieve or avoid access deficiencies on adjacent or nearby
properties. In determining the location of new streets in a development or street plan,
consideration shall be given to maximizing available solar access for adjoining development
sites.
c. When an area within a subdivision is set aside for commercial uses or where probable future
conditions warrant, the decision authority may require dedication of streets to a greater
width than herein otherwise provided.
d. The street right-of-way in or along the boundary of a subdivision shall have the minimum
width as specified in Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, Section 300 -
Street Design Standards, 2.07, except a boundary street may be half such width where it is
apparent that the other half will be dedicated from adjacent properties.
Temporary dead-end streets. Dead-end streets that may in the future be extended shall have
a right-of-way and pavement width that will conform to the development pattern when
extended.
e. Additional Right-of-Way Widths.
1) Where topographical requirements necessitate either cuts or fill for the proper grading of
streets, additional right-of-way width may be required to allow all cut and fill slopes to
be within the right-of-way.
2) Where bikeways necessitate, additional right-of-way width may be required.
Findings: No new streets are proposed. N Evergreen Ave is designated as a Residential Local
Street in the adopted Transportation System Plan. The designated right of way width for N
Evergreen Ave is 60 feet. The existing right of way is 40 feet wide. The Public Works
Planning Commission Order of Approval, Land Use File #3-04/20
NSSD Partitioning
Page 6 of 10
Department has indicated that dedication of an additional 10 feet of right of way is required, with
a 10-foot public utility easement behind the new right of way line. N Evergreen Ave is currently
improved with 30 feet of travel way, curb, gutter and sidewalk. In front of the subject property
there is an existing four-foot curbside sidewalk. The Public Works Department has indicated
that no street improvements are required, but that the sidewalk will need to be replaced with a 5-
foot wide curbside sidewalk at the time of construction of the homes.
6. SUBDIVISION BLOCKS.
a. Block lengths and widths shall be determined by giving consideration to the following
factors:
1) The distance and alignment of existing blocks and streets.
2) Topography.
3) Lot size.
4) Need for and direction of the flow of through and local traffic.
b. Block length and perimeter standards are specified in Section 17.26.1020.5.c.
c. Except where topographical or other physical features require otherwise, block widths shall
not be less than 180 feet.
Findings: The application is for a partitioning. No blocks will be created.
7. MID-BLOCK WALKS. Where topographical or other conditions make necessary blocks of
unusual length, the decision authority may require the developer to install mid-block pedestrian
walks on a right-of-way at least 6 feet in width, which shall be hard surfaced throughout the
block, and curb to curb, in order to provide easy access to schools, parks, shopping centers,
mass transportation stops, or other community services.
Findings: The application is for a partitioning. No blocks will be created.
8. LOT SIZE, LOT LINES.
a. Lot sizes shall be as specified in the zoning district in which the land division is being
proposed.
b. If topography, drainage, location, or other conditions justify, the decision authority may
require greater area and frontage widths on any or all lots within a subdivision, or it may
allow smaller area or front line widths if the surrounding area and other conditions justify
such requirements.
c. In a cul-de-sac, the minimum lot line fronting the turn-around shall be 40 feet, and in no case
shall the lot width be less than 60 feet at the building line.
d. Side lot lines shall be as close to right angles to the front street as practicable.
e. Unless otherwise approved, rear lot lines shall be not less than ½ the width of the front lot
lines.
f. The subdividing or partitioning of developed property shall not create lots or parcels that are
in violation of the dwelling density limitations of the underlying zone.
Planning Commission Order of Approval, Land Use File #3-04/20
NSSD Partitioning
Page 7 of 10
Findings: The LD zone requires an 8,000 square foot minimum lot size with a minimum of 80
feet of frontage. The proposal is create two lots with approximately 13,400 square feet of lot
area and 87 feet of frontage. Lot side lines are approximately perpendicular to the front lot lines.
9. PUBLIC SURVEY MONUMENTS. Any donation land claim, corner, section corner, or other
official survey monument within or on the boundary of a proposed subdivision shall be
accurately referenced to at least two monuments.
Findings: There are no public survey monuments on the parcel.
10. SEWAGE DISPOSAL.
a. All extensions of the existing City sewage facilities shall be in accordance with the adopted
Wastewater Master Plan. Sewer mains shall be extended to the edge of the subdivision unless
otherwise approved by the Public Works Director.
b. If adequate public sewage facilities are not available to the parcel of land proposed for
subdivision, or if extension of the existing City sewage facilities to serve the buildings to be
constructed in the proposed subdivision does not appear practical and economically feasible
because of topographic or other considerations, and if all lots in a subdivision are of proper
size and soil conditions are suitable, as determined by percolator or other tests made by or
approved by the health officer having jurisdiction, the City may allow individual sewage
disposal facilities approved by the health officer to be installed on each lot when and as
buildings are erected thereon.
Findings: No sewer extension is proposed.
11. PUBLIC USE AREAS.
a. Subdivision and partition preliminary plans shall provide a minimum of 5% of the gross area
of the subdivision or partition as public recreation area.
b. Such public recreational area shall have access to a public street, and the decision authority
may specify the location of such area to be compatible with existing or anticipated
recreational development.
c. As an alternative to subsection a. of this section, in cases where such recreational area
would not be effectively used because of size or the location of the subdivision or partition,
or where agreed upon by the decision authority, the developer shall pay to the City a fee,
earmarked for recreational use and development.
Findings: There are no proposed public use areas with this partition and no parks planned for the
area in the Parks Master Plan.
12. WATER SUPPLY.
a. All lots shall be served from the established public water system of the City or, if permitted
by the decision authority, from community or public wells, of which the water quality and
system maintenance shall be in accordance with the requirements of the Oregon Board of
Health or the county health officer.
b. In the event that larger lines are deemed necessary by the City for service to adjoining areas
than what would normally be required to serve the area to be subdivided, the City will pay

NSSD Partitioning
Page 8 of 10
the additional costs of such larger lines based on the current rate schedule adopted by the
City.
Findings: There is an 8-inch water line on the west side of N Evergreen Ave.
13. UNDERGROUND UTILITIES.
a. All permanent utility service to lots in a subdivision shall be provided from underground
facilities and no overhead utility service to a subdivision shall be permitted with the
exception of poles used exclusively for street lighting and other equipment appurtenant to
underground facilities that the utility companies have indicated in writing that there would
be impractical difficulty to install underground.
b. The subdivider shall provide underground electricity and telephone service and wiring for
future street lighting. The subdivider shall also provide such present street lighting, gas lines,
and cable television or other data transmission lines as are available within 500 feet of the
proposed subdivision.
Findings: The application is for a partitioning.
Section 17.26.060 Access Management Requirements and Standards. The following are the
applicable sections of Section 17.26.020:
17.24.020.3.h Access Spacing Standards. The driveway separation requirements in Table
17.26.020.3.h apply only on corner lots.

IV. CONCLUSION
Based on the findings of fact above, the Planning Commission concludes that the approval criteria in
Sections 17.24.040.6, 17.24.050, and 17.26.020 are met except for the following:
1. Section 17.24.050.5. The Public Works Department noted that N Evergreen Ave does not
have the required right of way width for a Residential Local Street and that the existing
sidewalks do not meet the minimum width requirements and ADA standards. The City
Engineer recommended the Final Plat include a 10-foot wide Public Utility Easement along
the east side of N Evergreen Ave along the entire frontage of the partitioning. This standard
could be met if the final plat is revised to dedicate 10 feet of additional right of way for N
Evergreen Ave and provides a 10-foot wide public utility easement along the east side of N
Evergreen Ave.
