Marion County Land Development, Engineering, and Permits (LDEP) commented: Engineering Condition Condition A — 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. 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. Marion County Building Division commented that there are no Building Inspection concerns. Permit(s) are required to be obtained prior to the manufactured home installation. If the proposed home is less than 3 feet to any adjoining property line, additional fire resistive construction may be required on the closest exterior wall. 6. All other commenting agencies state no objections or did not comment. 7. In order to approve a manufactured home/RV under medical hardship the applicant must demonstrate compliance with the specific criteria listed in MCC 17.120.040. These include: D. When the aged or infirm person must be provided care so frequently or in such a manner that caregiver(s) must reside on the same premises, the aged or infirm person and/or those caregivers providing care for the aged or infirm person may temporarily reside in the hardship permit dwelling for the term necessary to provide care. 1. Those providing the care must show that they will be available and have the skills to provide the care required, as described by the licensed medical professional. 2. Caregivers may reside within a hardship permit dwelling during periods of absence and medically necessary absence. 3. Caregivers shall not have any financial or expense obligation increased for residing in the hardship dwelling during periods of absence and medically necessary absence. The applicant has stated that their mother, Dovie Bertolucci, has a medical condition that does not allow her to live apart from family that can provide care. In particular, the applicant has stated that they intend to provide care by driving the applicant's mother to doctors appointments, cooking, cleaning, and other various tasks. The criterion is met. E. A temporary absence or medically necessary absence from the property by the aged or infirm person(s) will not result in the revocation or denial of a hardship permit. 1. When a medically necessary absence results in the aged or infirm person(s) living off of the property for more than 165 days in one calendar year or 165 consecutive days, they must provide notice of the medically necessary absence to prevent the absence from being considered an extended absence. 2. Notice of a medically necessary absence that will result in the aged or infirm person(s) living off of the property for more than 165 days in one calendar year or 165 consecutive days must be provided within 14 days of learning that the absence from the property will result in the aged or infirm person having to live away from the property for more than 165 days in one calendar year or 165 consecutive days. 3. Notice of a medically necessary absence must: a. Be submitted in writing; b. Include a statement from a licensed medical provider outlining that the absence from the property is necessary for the care or medical treatment of the aged or infirm person
