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) 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 a hearings officer, must be in writing and received in the Marion County Planning Division, 5155 Silverton Rd. NE, Salem, by 5:00 p.m. on, April 4th, 2025. If you have any questions about this decision, contact the Planning Division at (503) 588-5038 or at the office. This decision is effective April 7th, 2025, unless further consideration is requested. l. The subject parcel is located at 5815 Lake Labish Rd NE, in northern most neighborhood within the Urban Growth Boundary for the City of Salem. The North Fork of the Little Pudding River flows north across the eastern half of the subject parcel. The subject parcel contains a primary dwelling and an accessory structure. The subject parcel was created in its current configuration by a property line adjustment in 1997 (LLA97-018) and is therefore legal for land-use purposes. 2. All surrounding properties are zoned UT-5 (Urban Transition) and within the Urban Growth Boundary of the City of Salem. The neighborhood along Lake Labish Rd NE extends from Hazelgreen Rd NE to Labish Garden Rd NE. The neighborhood consists of residential parcels, surrounded by farm uses to the north, west, and east, and urban uses to the south. The North Fork of the Little Pudding River originates in the Hayesville neighborhood which is developed at urban densities. It flows north and crosses under Hazelgreen at the intersection with Lake Labish, and then crosses several parcels on the west side of Lake Labish including the subject parcel, before crossing under Lake Labish road and veering northwest approximately 1,500-feet north of Hazelgreen. 3. The applicant is proposing to permit previously completed filling and grading on the subject parcel, replaced gate pillars, and a lean-to addition to the existing shop structure. The lean-to addition was determined to not qualify as substantial improvement, and therefore not require inclusion in this floodplain permit. 4. Various Agencies were contacted with a request for comments. Marion County Building Inspection commented: No building Inspection concerns. Marion County Septic Division commented: Per OAR 340-071-0130(12), no fill may be placed over the areas of the initial and replacement drainfield. Prior to filling the site, a repair area should be allocated and left undisturbed from any site improvements that may negatively affect the soil. The existing drainfield must remain undisturbed. Marion County Code Enforcement commented: Code Enforcement is in full support of this application. If this is approved, it will close the Code case for working in a Floodplain without permits.
