Ok, the reason I'm tossing this out, is that I had this call on my voicemail when I came in from the field yesterday.
I was rushing to put things away, and get batteries on chargers and such... End of day, and totally my brain locked on this.
We all know, not to create a lot with no access.... right?
Had someone call me and ask what part of O.R.S. says that they can't.
Yup, you heard it here first. 2015, and apparently someone is either, on purpose, or just not looking at what they're doing.
I've got to get back to them this morning.... any chance you can cite this off the top of your head.... it's going to bug me my whole commute, like it has the rest of the morning here dang it.
Thanks!
Enjoy this nice day Oregon is going to get today!!
Wait a minute.
You must be referring to statutes that deal strictly with simultaneously created lots in a full-blown subdivsion. Correct?
We create new tracts all the time that have no access, but not when doing a subdivision.
Your answer likely lies in the county ordinances, not the state statutes.

:good:
Thanks..... see what I mean about fuzzy brain....
I'd forgotten that that statutes gave up this to the "local agency" planning departments....
The case they mentioned was a large tract that was being subdivided around the perimeter inward. The subdivisions around the edges of course have planned "access" agreements at the end of their roads.... The "fluffy" tract filling in the center seems to be an "issue" to a planning dept.
Wait a minute.
Why would you ever do that?????
Wait a minute.
A simple example. I own a large tract. The neighbor behind me wants to buy a piece of my tract that borders him. Fine. The tract, all by itself, has no road access but it doesn't matter because the neighbor already has road access, he just has more ground now. In my area we make splits like this all the time. There is no such thing as a lot adjustment and a reforming of previous boundaries short of doing so in a formal subdivision replat. I still own a tract but it is smaller than before and the neighbor now owns two tracts, not one.
