For replacement of a lawfully established dwelling under this subsection: a. The dwelling to be replaced must be removed, demolished or converted to an allowable nonresidential use within three months after the date the replacement dwelling is certified for occupancy pursuant to ORS 455.055. The applicants will be required to sign a Replacement Residence Declaratory Statement . This will be a condition of approval. b. The applicant must cause to be recorded in the deed records of the county a statement that the dwelling to be replaced has been removed, demolished or converted. c. As a condition of approval, if the dwelling to be replaced is located on a portion of the lot or parcel that is not zoned for exclusive farm use, the applicant shall execute and cause to be recorded in the deed records of the county in which the property is located a deed restriction prohibiting the siting of another dwelling on that portion of the lot or parcel. The restriction imposed is irrevocable unless the county planning director, or the director's designee, places a statement of release in the de ed records of the county to the effect that the provisions of ORS 215.291 and either ORS 215.213 or 215.283 regarding replacement dwellings have changed to allow the lawful siting of another dwelling.

A replacement dwelling under this subsection must comply with applicable building codes, plumbing codes, sanitation codes and other requirements relating to health and safety or to siting at the time of construction. e.

It is a condition of approval that the proposed dwelling must obtain any applicable permits through Marion County Building Inspection. Furthermore, the wildfire risk map standards do not apply as the map was never adopted. The criterion is met. f.
