Ivan Cook has submitted an application for a minor partition for property located on E Feedville Road.
Summary and Background
The property is approximately 243.9 acres and contains a center pivot irrigated field. The proposal will partition the existing lot into two lots. The approximate size of the lots will be 17.4 acres for Parcel 1 and 226.5 acres for Parcel 2. The property is owned by Ivan Cook and zoned Mixed Commercial/Industrial (C-2/M-2).
Public notice was provided for the proposed replat. Notice of the proposed land use action was mailed by direct mail to all property owners within 100 feet on February 27, 2019. A sign informing the public of the proposal was placed on the property on February 27, 2019.
The criteria that are applicable to the decision to accept the proposed replat are contained in §154.15 through §154.66, §157.041 and §157.056 of the Hermiston Code of Ordinances. The final plat requirements and findings are attached to this report as Exhibit A. The recommended conditions of approval are attached as Exhibit B.
