Marion County Septic commented: “A Site Evaluation is required to establish an approved area and minimum <br />requirements for a septic system to serve the secondary farm dwelling.” <br /> <br />Public Works Land Development and Engineering Permits (LDEP) requested that the following be included <br />in the land use decision. <br /> <br />ENGINEERING REQUIREMENT <br /> <br />A. At the time of application for building permits, an Access Permit will be required. The driveway <br />approach may need to be widened to 20’. <br /> <br />B. Transportation System Development Charges (TSDCs) and Parks fee will be assessed at the time of <br />application for building permits. <br /> <br />C. Any new utility service extensions such as electric power originating from within the public right-of- <br />way to the property require permits from MCPW Engineering. <br /> <br />All other contacted agencies either failed to comment or stated no objection to the proposal. <br /> <br />7. The criteria for approving a secondary farm dwelling on high value farmland is contained in MCC <br />17.136.030 (B) (1): <br /> <br />1. The primary dwelling and the proposed dwelling will each be occupied by a person or persons who will <br />be principally engaged in the farm use of the land and whose seasonal or year-round assistance in the <br />management of the farm uses, such as planting, harvesting, marketing or caring for livestock, is or will <br />be required by the farm operator. <br /> <br />The primary dwelling on the farm is occupied by the owner, who is the principal operator of the farm. The <br />applicants indicate that proposed secondary farm dwelling will be occupied by the farm manager who also <br />works on the farm. The manager plays a crucial role in overseeing the finances of the boarding facility and <br />managing the daily opening and closing for the arena. Therefore, the criterion is met. <br /> <br />2. There is no other dwelling on lands in the EFU, SA or FT zone owned by the farm operator that is <br />vacant or currently occupied by persons not working on the subject farm and could reasonably be used <br />as an additional farm dwelling. <br /> <br />The applicants only own the primary farm dwelling, which is on the subject parcel. The criterion is met. <br /> <br />3. The proposed dwelling will be located: <br /> <br />a. On the same lot or parcel as the primary farm dwelling; or <br />b. On the same contiguous ownership as the primary dwelling, and the lot or parcel on which the <br />proposed dwelling will be sited is consolidated into a single parcel with all other contiguous lots <br />and parcels in the same ownership; or <br />c. On a lot or parcel on which the primary farm dwelling is not located, when the secondary farm <br />dwelling is limited to only a manufactured dwelling with a deed restriction filed with the county <br />clerk. The deed restriction shall require the additional dwelling to be removed when the lot or <br />parcel is conveyed to another party. Occupancy of the additional farm dwelling shall continually <br />comply with subsection (B)(1) of this section; or <br />d. On any lot or parcel, when the accessory farm dwelling is limited to only attached multi-unit <br />residential structures allowed by the applicable State Building Code or similar types of farm
