Glad this got sorted out and we’re able to move forward.
Setbacks are on the table in this link, property is zoned R1.

Nicolas,
Per Gerald's email below, can you please now tell me what the normal setbacks are off the property line to edge of structure?
Thanks

Scott,
See attached plan sheets. The development approvals predate the overlay zone so the development as approved applies. Please note that you will have to comply with all of the requirements for this development including matching the grading shown in the plan. The wetland cannot be filled and any existing encroachment into the wetland beyond your property line must be removed and restored to the condition shown in the design drawings attached. Water and sewer service is provided to the site and roof runoff shall be through weep holes in the curb. No runoff can be piped or discharged into the wetland area. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks.

Gerald,
The property address is 757 Rachel Ln.
I have been speaking with Nicholas for the past couple weeks regarding this property and wanting to purchase it to build on. I am confused for the need to have an environmental specialist assess this property (at a quoted cost of $4300) when the property was created and plotted prior to 2010 when the water resources zone was implemented. Any help you could provide to help me understand and or deem this property buildable would be greatly.
Thanks

Hi Scott,
There may be something we can authorize as the property was created before the water resources overlay zone was implemented, but either way we’d need to determine what the actual location of the riparian area is on the property. Nothing on the plat that I saw lead me to believe that the property line itself was the riparian boundary. The plat dedicated tract J to the HOA, called it a ‘shared wetland’ and restricted access to only an easement. If Mr. Bystrom has other documentation besides what I have access to via PlanMap then I am happy to take a look.
What we know for sure is that this property lies mostly within the riparian corridor, but we don’t know to what extent. If you were to submit to build on the property, we would need a site plan that shows the location of these boundaries:
18.28.040 Site plan required.
When a use or activity that requires the issuance of a building permit or approval of a land use application is proposed on a parcel within, or partially within the WR Overlay District, the property owner shall submit a scaled site plan to the City that that shows the precise location of:
A. Topography;
B. The stream top-of-bank;
C. The 100-year flood elevation;
D. The delineated wetland boundary with documentation of concurrence by the Oregon Division of State Lands;
E. The required riparian setback;
F. Existing vegetative cover and type; and
G. Existing and proposed site improvements. (Ord. 2010-15 §1; Ord. 2010-04 §1)
My recommendation would be to hire a wetland delineation expert, if you are serious about pursuing the property for purchase.

Nicolas,
Talking today with Mr.Bystrom (the current property owner) he has told me this was surveyed and the property line is the setback? Reading the information you sent me yesterday has me confused to say the least. The residence on the corner of Mary and Anne (lot 106) in tract D is in no way setback the 50’. Can you please tell me the difference between tract D and J?
Thanks

Perhaps Gerald Fisher knows of a good wetland consultant, any suggestions Gerald? Looking for a wetland delineation for a residential development.
If not some googling should yield some useful contacts.

Thanks Nicolas. I will work on finding someone to give exact location. Do you have any contact info for someone qualified to meet your expectations? I am not comfortable accessing this with my naked eye and running into issues further along and finding out a lot we’ve purchased isn’t buildable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is the applicant’s job to demonstrate compliance, so I would need to tell from your application whether or not the proposed home encroaches on the WR overlay district. It would be measured from the upper edge of the ‘bank’. I’m not a biologist, but a certified wetland surveyor would be able to tell where that bank edge is, usually it’s actually quite easy to tell with the naked eye where the bank is, too.

Nicolas,
Do I take care of having this surveyed or is this something the city has performed? Also, is the creek bank considered to be from edge of water line or is there a setback there as well?
Thanks

Here’s the boundary description:
http://www.qcode.us/codes/molalla/view.php?topic=18-18_28-i-18_28_020&frames=off
And here’s the rules within the boundary:
http://www.qcode.us/codes/molalla/view.php?topic=18-18_28-i-18_28_070&frames=off
Basically it prohibits development within this boundary. We would need to determine exactly where on the property this line is before authorizing development. Typically that is performed by a wetland expert or environmental consultant.

Thanks Nicolas. Am I missing something? I don’t see where there calling out set backs on the info you gave me nor do I see what they’re calling the creek bank to measure off of.
