A signed Primary Care Provider Certificate has been submitted for Lynda Winger indicating she has medical conditions that preclude them from maintaining a completely separate and detached dwelling apart from her family. 6. Various agencies were contacted about the proposal and given an opportunity to comment. Turner Fire District provided extensive comments about building access and ensuring proper access for fire apparatus as well as address identification. Complete comments are included in the case file available at Marion County Public Works. Marion County Building commented: No Building Inspection concerns with proposed recreational vehicle as a hardship dwelling. Permit(s) would be required to be obtained prior to the installation of any utilities to the RV location, if proposed. Marion County Septic commented: Conditions of Approval: An authorization is required. Note: An authorization is required to connect the medical hardship to the existing septic system. Hardship authorizations are valid for up to 5 years, not exceeding the cessation of the hardship. If after 5 years the hardship is still needed, a new authorization will be required. The system serving the main dwelling was installed under permit 99-05577. All other commenting agencies stated no objection to the proposal. 7.
