The applicant may also request a reconsideration (one time only and a fee of $200) on the basis of new information subject to signing an extension of the 150 day time limit for review of zoning applications. A public hearing is held on appeals subject to the appellant paying a $250.00 fee. Requests for reconsideration, or consideration by the Hearings Officer, must be in writing (Appeal Form available from the Planning Division) and be received in the Marion County Planning Division, JUNE 14, 2000 . 3150 Lancaster Dr. NE, Suite B, Salem, OR 97305 by 4:30 p.m. on Please note an appeal directly to the Land Use Board of Appeals is not allowed under ORS 197.830.

This decision is effective unless further consideration is requested. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: The findings and conclusions on which the Zoning Administrator based the decision are noted below. 1.The subject property lies within the Salem Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and is designated “Single Family Residential” in the Salem Area Comprehensive Plan. The parcel’s UD (URBAN DEVELOPMENT) zone is under the jurisdiction of Marion County. The major purpose of both this designation and zone is to provide areas for future residential development at low urban densities. 2.The parcel is located at the southeast corner of the Hayesville Drive and Reimann Streets. 3.Properties on all sides of the subject parcel are slated for single family residences. 4. The undeveloped parcel was created in 1996 as a result of Partitioning Case 96-48 and the subsequent recording of Partitioning Plat 98-38. 5.In staff contacts with Lauryl Byer at the Marion County Department of Public Works the proposed reduction in the front yard setback from 20 to 12 feet along Hayesville Drive and 14 feet along Reimann Street was not judged as a problem with future improvements to either Hayesville Drive or Reimann Street. Marion County Fire District Number One commented that the adjustment is “OK” but if building occurs must resubmit. All other contacted agencies either failed to respond or stated no objection to the proposal at the time this report was written.
