The subject property is designated Special Agriculture in the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. The major purpose of this designation and the corresponding SA zone is to promote the continuation of commercial agricultural and forestry operations. A temporary manufactured dwelling or RV under hardship conditions may be approved as a conditional use provided the need is justified and the residence will not have a detrimental impact upon the existing or potential farming and timber activity in the area. 2. The subject parcel is located at the terminus of Rodgers Creek Lane SE which intersects Sunnyside Road SE about three quarters of a mile northwest of the intersection of Sunnyside Rd SE and Squirrel Hill Road SE. The parcel is mostly wooded and has a 1984 dwelling and several accessory structures. The parcel was created in its current configuration by a partition in 1979 (MJP79-129) and has remained in that configuration. The partition was recorded in Partition Plat MP79-129. Therefore, the parcel is considered legal for land use purposes. 3. Surrounding uses include a mixture of large, wooded parcels, large fields engaged in commercial agriculture, and a number of smaller parcels in use as rural residences. All surrounding parcels are either zoned SA or EFU (exclusive farm use). 4. According to the Marion County Soils Analysis tool, the subject property contains 24.9% high value soils and 75.1% non-high value soils.
