12. Forest Land and Farm/Timber Land Policy #6: Division of forest lands and agricultural lands into parcels smaller than 80 acres may be permitted only for those non-forest uses specified in OAR 660-06-0026(2) and those non-farm uses specified in OAR 660-33-0120. The Subject Property is 187 acres and as such, it is above the minimum 80-acre standard. Further, Applicant is not proposing any land divisions in their request. This application is consistent with Forest Land and Farm/Timber Land Policy 6. 13. Forest Land and Farm/Timber Land Policy #7: Lot line adjustments may be appropriate provided tracts over 80 acres are not reduced below 80 acres. Tracts capable of significant timber or agricultural production but already below 80 acres should not be reconfigured in a manner that makes them less suitable for timber or farm management. Applicant's proposal does not include any property line adjustments. If in the future, such an adjustment is requested, it will then be evaluated for compliance with the MCCP policies and MCC criteria applicable to the request. This application is consistent with Forest Land and Farm/Timber Land Policy 7. 14. Forest Land and Farm/Timber Land Policy #8: Strict criteria should be applied to ensure that any dwellings and accessory structures permitted on existing parcels will not interfere with accepted forest or farm management practices on adjacent lands, have adequate road access, fire protection and domestic water supply, and do not increase fire hazards. Applicant is not requesting a dwelling. If Applicant does so iri the future, the dwelling proposal is then subject to review for compliance with MCC criteria applicable to the future request. This application is consistent with Forest Land and Farm/Timber Land Policy 8. 15. Forest Land and Farm/Timber Land Policy #9: If special siting and fire hazard protection requirements are imposed, dwellings may be appropriate on existing parcels with low cubic foot per acre per year productivity, on parcels with timber management limitations due to the proximity of dwellings and a highly parcelized ownership pattern, or on existing parcels of 160 acres or more created prior to January 1, 1994. Dwellings allowed under OAR 660-06- 0027(1)(a), (e) and(f), as limited in the TC zone, are consistent with this policy. Applicant's proposal does not include any new dwellings. In the future, any proposed dwelling will require approval under applicable requirements contained in OAR Chapter 660 Division 6 and MCC Chapter 17.138. Specifically, MCC 17.13 8.060 includes specific siting and fire hazard protection requirements in the TC zone. Any future dwelling on the Subject Property must be approved consistent with state laws and local ordinances. This application is consistent with Forest Land and Farm/Timber Land Policy 9. 16. Forest Land and Farm/Timber Land Policy #10: The siting of dwellings in the Farm/Timber zone must meet the applicable criteria in either OAR 660, Division 6 or 33 based on the predominant use of the tract on January 1, 1993.
