6. Various agencies were contacted about the proposal and given an opportunity to comment: Woodburn Fire District commented: “Please provide measurements for the gate and fire access width and turnaround for fire apparatus. Please provide additional information on any building on the premise and any other hazard activity to determine the required fire flow.” The applicant reached out to the Woodburn Fire District to address some of these initial comments. Afterwards the Woodburn Fire District provided additional comments: “We met the morning of 4/28/2025 with Mr. Sanchez (at) the property. We asked that access lane be 20’ wide and to clear an area for fire apparatus turn around. Additionally, he will widen the access crossing over the railroad. Nothing further at this time.” City of Woodburn Community Development commented: “The City has no concerns related to the new additional use in this location. We echo the concerns of Woodburn Fire District regarding fire access. Additionally, we advise that appropriate rail authorities be consulted regarding the existing rail crossing to ensure compliance.” Public Works Land Development and Engineering Permits (LDEP) requested that the following be included in the land use decision. Conditions: Condition A – Prior to establishment of the business on the subject property, under an Access Permit from MCPW Engineering pave the Front Street driveway approach with hot mix asphalt for a distance of 20 feet measured from the roadway edge of pavement. Condition B – Prior to establishment of the business on the subject property, provide evidence of an agreement with or waiver from UPRR as to the intended use of the existing private rail crossing. Requirements: Requirement A – Transportation System Development Charges (SDCs) will be assessed upon application for building permits or agricultural exemption for the proposed pole barn. Marion County Building commented: “Permit(s) are required to be obtained prior to development of structure(s) and/or utilities on private property. If any structure is proposed to be open to the public for potential sales of product, additional code requirements, such as accessibility and restrooms, may be required. Discussion with a building plans examiner is recommended prior to making application for structural permit(s).” Marion County Septic commented: “A site evaluation for this property was approved to serve a 5BDRM single family dwelling under permit number 555-24-000108. No septic system currently exists on-site. To proceed with installation, a construction installation permit, including a full proposal outlining number of employees, if restrooms are available to the public, etc. is required.” All other commenting agencies stated no objection to the proposal. 7.
