6. Events that take place between May 1 and September 30 shall either have parking provided with an all- weather surface consisting of gravel, asphalt, or concrete or provided by an earthen or organic surface maintained to minimize fire hazards. The primary parking areas, along with ingress and egress routes, are already surfaced with asphalt. All additional parking areas will consist of maintained earthen surfaces to minimize fire hazards. This configuration ensures compliance with applicable parking surface requirements; therefore, this criterion is met. 7. The property owner shall obtain all necessary permits for access and egress, as well as provide a traffic control plan if required by Marion County Public Works. The applicants understand that access and egress permits may be required. The criterion is met. 8. The use will not require new driveway access to the street unless approved by Public Works Director. The property owner shall obtain all necessary driveway access permits from the roadway authority to bring the new or existing access into conformance with county standards. The applicants are not proposing a new driveway access. They also understand that they may need to obtain access permits from the roadway authority to bring the existing access into conformance with county standards. The criterion is met. M. Minimum setbacks: New structures and outdoor areas associated with the event business, including generators and other ancillary uses, but not including parking, shall be setback a minimum of 50 feet from public rights-of- way and adjoining parcels with an existing residence within 50 feet of the site of the event business or approved for a residence within 50 feet of the site of the event business, or zoned Acreage Residential. The applicant is not proposing any new structures. The nearest AR zoned parcel is located over 270 feet from the site of event activities. The site is also not within 50 feet of the public right-of-way. There is a dwelling on the parcel to the west, but that dwelling sits well over 200 feet from the outdoor event area. The criterion is met. N. Fencing: Property lines adjacent to a property with an existing residence within 50 feet of the site of the event business or approved for a residence within 50 feet of the site of the event business, or zoned Acreage Residential shall be provided with a solid fence, wall, or hedge. A 15-foot-wide vegetative buffer consisting of trees, which will attain at least eight feet in height within five years, and shrubs, which will provide a complete visual sight buffer within five years may be substituted for the fence, wall, or hedge. As stated above, the dwellings on the adjacent properties are over 200 feet away from the even area. Therefore no additional screening or vegetative buffer is required. The criterion is met. O. Lighting: Parking lots shall have lighting capable of providing adequate illumination for security and safety. All light sources shall be constructed, down shielded and used so as not to illuminate directly on or create glare visible from adjacent properties or public rights of way. Applicant states that the parking lot will be lit and will be faced downwards to not shine onto other properties or roads. The criterion is met. P. Noise: The event business shall comply with Marion County Code Chapter 8.45 related to noise except that no amplified sound or use of a generator shall occur outside of a building before the hour of 7:00 a.m. or after the hour of 10:00 p.m. The applicant states that they understand this provision and will abide by it. The criterion is met. Q. Signs: In addition to the signs permitted in Chapter 17.191 of this code: 1. One unlighted sign not exceeding 32 square feet related to the event business may be placed on a fence or structure subject to the height, setback, and illumination standards in Chapter 17.191.
