Illegal Subdivisions Cited By Consultant Increased building in all parts of the Willamette Valley this year has brought a number of illegal subdivisions of property in Lane County, Howard Buford, city- county planning consultant, said Friday. Such subdivisions, according to Buford, are prohibited by state law. Several of the illegal divisions of land have come to the atten tion of county officials in the last week, the consultant said. He explained that owners of small parcels of land are appar ently deciding to take advantage of anticipated building booms this summer, and are arbitrarily cut ting up pastures and small fields into lots. Under state law, a subdivision means splitting one tract of land into 4 or more lots. If this is done, the land owner must have a plat, with dedicated roads and utility easements, approved by the planning commission of eith er the city or county in which he resides. In addition, the plat must be on file with the county recorder. TROUBLE COMES LATER In most of the cases Buford has in mind, property owners, without asking the necessary, ap proval, dig out narrow lanes and drives, then sell off pieces along the way for home construction. "There's no law to prevent a man from making a driveway Into his home," Buford declared. "But when he tries to dispose of the land, and the new owner tries to get a building permit, then he runs into trouble." "State law recognizes the fact that if everyone does as he pleases, we will have a growth pattern detrimental to all of us, the consultant emphasized. "If this goes on, it means a lowering ot property values. UTILITIES WARY Buford added that.it is not the intention of his office or of coun ty officials to make subdivision difficult. Public agencies, how ever, must safeguard the public nterest in seeing that develop ment is orderly, he said. Utility companies also watch 3ut for the illegal subdivisions. PBuford said they are reluctant to extend services to such areas, and thus retard the best develop ment. Lack of the services, ac cording to Buford, is the start of many slum areas. Buford warned prospective property buyers to check with responsible authorities before purchasing any parcel of land. The planning office in the city hall or the county clerk s office in the courthouse will be able to help. "We're not being hard-fisted," the consultant stated. "But prop erty owners owe it to those com ing in to give a clear title" to the land they purchase. In a final bit of advice to pros pective land buyers, Buford said: Don t buy what you think you ee. Buy what s on record. PUBLIC RECORDS EUGENE MUNICIPAL COURT ' (March 9, 1955) Basic rule violation Norman C. Hampton. 2070 E. 27th Ave., $10; Clif ford M. Jackson. 1090 Bethel nr..
