(1) Eight copies of the property line adjustment MAP;
(2) The required fee;

(1) The names, addresses and phone numbers of the owner(s) of the subject parcels and authorized representative;
(2) Scale of the drawing using an engineer's scale;

(4) Legal description of the property;
(5) Dimensions and size of the parcels involved in the property line adjustment;
(6) Approximate locations of structures, utilities, rights-of-way and easements;
(7) Points of access, existing and proposed;
(8) Any natural features such as waterways, drainage area, significant vegetation or rock outcroppings;
(9) Approximate topography, particularly noting any area of steep slope.
(C) Approval criteria. The city shall approve a request for a property line adjustment if the following criteria are satisfied:
(1) No additional parcels are created;
(2) All parcels meet the density requirements and dimensional standards of the base zoning district;
(3) Access, utilities, easements, and proposed future streets will not be adversely affected by the property line adjustment.
(D) Final approval. Three paper copies of the final map shall be submitted within one year of approval of the property line adjustment. The final map shall include a boundary survey, which complies with O.R.S. Chapters 92 and 209. The approved final map, along with required deeds, must be recorded with Jackson County.
