dwelling directly north of the subject property. Property to the south is a small lot of approximately three acres that contains a dwelling. To the east bordering the subject property is a 20-acre parcel containing a dwelling. While most of the property is in brush and grass (and is not considered non -high value soils), the bench where the dwelling, septic drain field and shop are being proposed is relatively dry land. The site where the improvements are being proposed should not negatively affect the adjoining farming practices. The proposed non -farm dwelling is anticipated to bring impacts typical of residential use into the area. Residential uses from a single-family dwelling are not intense to the degree that their negative impacts on surrounding farming uses cannot be mitigated and are unlikely to force a significant alteration in the current land use pattern. Crops can still be farmed on the neighboring parcel even if a new house were placed on the subject parcel. The criterion is met. (b) Adequate f re protection and other rural services are, or will be, available when the use is established. The property is within the Woodburn Fire District and has direct access to Union School Road. The parcel is serviced by the Monitor Fire District and the Marion County Sheriff. Other rural services such as a well, septic, and electricity can be established in the future to provide other services. Therefore, the criterion is met. (c} The use will not have a significant adverse impact on watersheds, groundwater, fish and wildlife habitat, soil and slope stability, air and water quality. The proposed dwelling will use an established driveway currently accessing the parcel off of Union School Road. The parcel contains an identified intermittent stream, which appears to eventually connect to the main body of the Pudding River about 2,700 feet northwest of the subject parcel. As such, there is potential for an impact on the watershed and water quality, but the proposed use of a residence is not likely to generate significant adverse impacts so long as development complies with applicable environmental and sanitation requirements. The Applicant will establish a domestic well and septic system located on the property in an area of slope stability. The criterion is met. (d) Any noise associated with the use will not have a significant adverse impact on nearby land uses. The proposed use of a single family, non -farm dwelling is not expected to generate noises above normal residential levels, which are not likely to have significant adverse impacts on nearby farm uses. The criterion is met. (e) The use will not have a significant adverse impact on potential water impoundments identified in the Comprehensive Plan, and not create significant conflicts with operations included in the Comprehensive Plan inventory of significant mineral and aggregate sites. There are no significant mineral and aggregate sites, or water impoundments identified by the comprehensive plan near the proposed dwelling. Therefore, the criterion is met.
