PROPERTY LINE ADJUSTMENT KWOK – ROSE LANE 2 | P a g e BACKGROUND This property line adjustment application pertains to Assessor’s Map number 17-03-33-34, Tax Lots 4000 and 4001 also known as 2245 and 2255 Rose Lane, respectively. Both tax lots (“subject properties”) are legally established lots of record under common ownership. The subject properties are zoned R-1, located in the Fairmount neighborhood district within the city of Eugene city limits and maintain a Low-Density Residential Metro Plan Designation. The subject properties are legal lots of record that were lawfully established as described in the following 2008 Legal Lot Verification letter (attached) excerpt from City staff: Based on City staff research of available information, staff has determined that current Tax Lot 4000 contains two legal lots. The first legal lot is a remnant of Lot 11 Block 31 of the Amended Plat of Fairmount created by the dedication of right of way. In 1932, Rose Lane was dedicated by deed on page 142 in book 173 in the Lane County Deeds and Records Office. This dedication bisected Lot 11 Block 31 of the Amended Plat of Fairmount creating two legal lots. The second legal lot created was by deed recorded October 2, 1933 on pages 251 & 252 in book 177 in the Lane County Deeds and Records Office. The 1932 road dedication of Rose Lane created one legal lot that was 1,177 sq ft (“Parcel B”), while the second legal lot (“Parcel A”) was 7,832 sq ft. In 2008, the City of Eugene approved a property line adjustment (LA08-30) to the boundary line between the two legal lots to effect more appropriate conformity with R-1 zone. This land use action successfully increased Parcel B of LA08-30 to 3,530 sq ft, leaving Parcel A of LA08-30 at 5,479 sq ft. The Fairmount Neighbors area carries a code restriction which limits a property line adjustment to five (5) feet per adjustment, not to exceed two adjustments in one calendar year. For this reason, it has taken multiple adjustments to bring the subject properties closer to conformance with zone lot standards. In 2023, the subject properties underwent another property line adjustment (LA23-15), approved on May 9, 2024, effectively continuing to increase conformity with R-1 lot standards. Later in 2024, the subject properties underwent another property line adjustment (LA 24-9), approved September 9, 2024, which effectively brought Parcel 1 to 5,166 square feet and Parcel 2 to 3,850 square feet. This 2025 proposal intends to accomplish the same goal as the previous property line adjustments however choosing to do so by eliminating the common boundary line with this property line adjustment, and once approved, performing a middle housing land division to create the desired two parcels of generally 4,500 square feet each. The property owner is aware that no further land development may occur on the future middle housing lots once the entire process is complete. This written narrative serves to demonstrate the proposed property line adjustment’s compliance with the criteria, requirements, and standards for property line adjustments contained within applicable sections of the Eugene Code (EC) including, EC 9.8405 – Applicability of Property Line Adjustment Applications and EC 9.8415 – Property Line Adjustment – Approval Criteria.
