absence or if absent from the property for at least 30 consecutive days prior to submission of the renewal application. 9. One of the residences shall be removed from the property within 90 days of the date the person(s) with the hardship or the care provider no longer reside on the property. 10. Extended absence from the property may result in revocation of the hardship permit; issuance of a citation pursuant to MCC 1.25.030; and/or initiation of civil action in circuit court pursuant to MCC 1.25.050. 11. Prior to issuance of a building MD placement permit for the medical hardship dwelling, acquire an Access Permit, and under the Permit consolidate the two driveway access approaches into a single access not to exceed 24 feet in width measured at the front property line. 12. Driveway access to the public R/W must meet PW Engineering standards. Notwithstanding exception granted for topographical, drainage and/or other legitimate spatial constraints (such as conflict with a septic drain field), residential properties are authorized a total of one (1) access. In 2001 the shop building was constructed, and an approved Driveway Exemption #01-06096 on -record documented a single (northwest) access. Subsequently to that time, a 35-foot wide, secondary access serving the shop was apparently installed to the southeast without permits, potentially by a prior owner. OTHER PERMITS, FEES, AND RESTRICTIONS: This approval does not remove or affect covenants or restrictions imposed on the subject property by deed or another instrument. The proposed use may require permits and/or fees from other local, State or Federal agencies. This decision does not take the place of, or relieve the responsibility for, obtaining other permits or satisfying any restrictions or conditions thereon. APPEAL PROCEDURE: The Marion County Zone Code provides that certain applications be considered first by the County Planning Director. If there is any doubt that the application conforms with adopted land use policies and regula- tions the Director must condition or deny the application. Anyone who disagrees with the Director's decision may request that the application be considered by a Marion County hearings officer after a public hearing. The applicant may also request reconsideration (one time only and a fee of $200) based on 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 a hearings officer, must be in writing (form available from the Planning Division) and received in the Marion County Planning Division, 5155 Silverton Rd. NE, Salem, by 5:00 p.m. on MaV 1, 2023. If you have questions about this decision, contact the Planning Division at (503) 588-5038 or at the office. This decision is effective Mav 2, 2023, unless further consideration is requested. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: Findings and conclusions on which the decision was based are noted below. 1. The property is designated Primary Agriculture in the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of this designation and the corresponding EFU (Exclusive Farm Use) zone is to allow for the creation of acreage home sites at a density that maintains the character and environmental quality of the County's rural residential areas. 2. The property is located on the north side of Lardon Road NE, approximately 140 feet northwest of the intersection of Lardon Road NE and 55th Avenue NE, near Salem. The property currently contains a dwelling and an accessory structure. The parcel was created as Lots 10 and 11 of the Fletcher's Subdivision in 1968 and is therefore a legal parcel for land use purposes. 3. The zoning surrounding the subject parcel is exclusively EFU. This mainly consists of a mix of rural residential and small to large farms. All adjacent parcels are developed with dwellings. 4. A signed Primary Care Provider Certificate has been submitted for Dovie Bertolucci indicating she has medical conditions that preclude her from maintaining a completely separate and detached dwelling apart from her family. 5. The following comments were submitted by various agencies who had been notified about this land use case:
