Attention Property Owner: A land use proposal has been submitted for property near where you live or near property you own elsewhere. State law requires that the county notify property owners within a certain distance from this property. The proposal and address of the property is described in the "Application" section below. The decision in this case does not directly affect the zoning or use of your property. If you object to the decision, refer to the "Appeal" section. If you have questions, contact the staff person listed at the end of this report. NOTICE OF DECISION FLOODPLAIN DEVELOPMENT PERMIT CASE NO. 25-009 APPLICATION: Application of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde for a floodplain permit to replace two existing road crossings, remove a berm and culvert, and remove two channel files within the 100-year floodplain of the North Santiam River on a 410.7-acre parcel located at 17294 North Santiam Highway SE, Stayton (T9S; R1E; Section 17; Tax lot 400 & 500; Section 21; Tax lot 100). DECISION: The Planning Director for Marion County has APPROVED the above-described Floodplain Development application subject to certain conditions. EXPIRATION DATE: This Floodplain Development Permit is valid only when exercised by January 30th, 2028. The effective period may be extended for an additional year subject to approval of an extension (form available from the Planning Division). Additional extensions may not be granted if the regulations under which this decision was granted have changed since the original approval. WARNING: A decision approving the proposal is for land use purposes only. Due to septic, well, and drain field replacement areas this parcel may not be able to support the proposal. To be sure the subject property can accommodate the proposal the applicant should contact the Building Inspection Division, (503) 588-5147. All development in the floodplain is subject to federal, local and state regulations and standards at the time development is begun. These regulations and standards are in the process of being revised and the development proposed in this application may be subject to additional regulations and standards at the time construction of structures or placement of fill on the property begins. Based on preliminary information provided by the National Marine Fisheries Service on April 14, 2016, federal law might only recognize as legal under the county current floodplain ordinance building permits that are issued prior to September 15, 2016 and where the work is begun prior to March 15, 2017. Permits issued after September 15, 2016 or not begun until after March 15, 2017 may be in violation of federal law and thus invalidate this local permit. Base on a letter provided by FEMA to Marion County in July 2024, additional mitigation could be required in case of an audit of this permit, or otherwise required by Marion County. Construction related to this permit is approved only within the existing developed area of the property. Construction of new structures, fill or other development of the property should not occur outside the existing developed area without prior consultation with the Marion County Planning Division. Federal regulations may require additional approvals for development outside the existing developed area of the property. Applicants are further advised that buildings constructed with below-grade crawlspaces will have higher flood insurance premiums than buildings that have the preferred crawlspace construction (the interior grade of the crawlspace is at or above the adjacent exterior grade). This decision does not include approval of a building permit. CONDITIONS: The following conditions must be met before a building permit can be obtained or the approved use es- tablished: 1. The applicant shall obtain all permits required by the Marion County Building Inspection Division, if applicable. 2. Prior to obtaining a building permit the owner shall be required to sign and record in the deed records for the county a declaratory statement binding the landowner, and the landowner’s successors in interest, acknowledging that the property and the approved development are located in a floodplain.
