ARTICLE_10: MAJOR PARTITIONS MINOR PARTITIONS
SECTION 1006.02 APPROVAL OF FINAL PARTITION PLAT
A. Within twenty-four (24) months from the date of preliminary partition plan approval, the applicant shall initiate a request for final partition plat approval by filing with the Director a final partition plat prepared in accordance to those standards specified in Section 1005 of this chapter.
B. The approval of a final partition plat by the Director is a ministerial action. The Director shall grant final approval if it is determined that:
1) the final partition plat and any supporting documents are in substantial conformance with the approved preliminary partition plan;
2) any conditions imposed by the Approving Authority have been met; and
3) all ad valorem taxes placed on the tax rolls shall be paid prior to filing the final plat map. [ORS 92.095]
Substantial conformance means that any differences between the preliminary and final plans are "minor amendments," as defined in Section 1001 of this ordinance.
C. All access easements created as part of land partitioning shall clearly specify which parcel or parcels it serves and shall be shown on the face of the map along with a written legal description of the easement. If the access easement is preexisting or if the access easement has been filed with the County Clerk prior to the final approval of the land partition, then the recording number shall appear on the face of the map.
D. The granting of final partition plat approval shall not be affected by a change in the zone or comprehensive plan map designation of the subject property made after approval of the preliminary partition plan.
E. After approval the final partition plat must be prepared by an Oregon Registered Professional Land Surveyor and reviewed by the Baker County Surveyor, the Baker County Treasurer, the Baker County Planning Director, and shall be filed with the Baker County Clerk for recording.
F. All parcels in a partition that exceed ten acres in size need not be surveyed or monumented but a final partition plat prepared by an Oregon registered professional land surveyor is required.
