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.

NOTICE OF DECISION CONDITIONAL USE CASE NO. 25-032 APPLICATION: Application of Katherine Barkshaw for a conditional use permit to change the occupant of a temporary medical hardship dwelling on a 3.0-acre parcel in an AR-3 (Acreage Residential) zone located at 5987 Shaw Center Place Aumsville, Salem (T8S; R2W; Section 13C; Tax lot 5700). DECISION: The Planning Director for Marion County has APPROVED the above-described Conditional Use applica- tion subject to conditions. EXPIRATION DATE: This conditional use permit is valid only when exercised by September 9th, 2027. 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. RENEWAL: This permit may be renewed for successive one-year periods if the applicant submits to the Planning Division, on an annual basis, a new Physician's Certificate which indicates that the hardship situation continues. The Planning Division will mail renewal forms to the property owner approximately two months prior to permit expiration. CONDITIONS: Once the approved use is established the following conditions must be continually satisfied: 1. All conditions of approval listed in CU20-029 shall remain in effect. 2. The applicants are advised that this permit is granted for a period of one year and must be renewed for succes- sive one year periods upon submittal of a Physician's Certificate verifying that the hardship conditions continue to exist. In addition, every five years the Marion County Building Inspection Division requires a septic evaluation for shared septic systems prior to renewal of hardship conditional uses. 3. The applicant is advised that the Manufactured Dwelling/RV Disconnect Agreement, which specifies that placement of the manufactured dwelling or RV is temporary and that it will be removed/disconnected after the hardship ceases, as required in CU20-029 remains in effect. 4. The applicant is advised that a septic authorization and field visit are required to continue to use the existing dwelling as a Conditional Use Medical Hardship dwelling. OTHER PERMITS, FEES AND RESTRICTIONS: This approval does not remove or affect covenants or restrictions imposed on the subject property by deed or other instrument. The proposed use may require permits and/or fees from other local, state or federal agencies. This decision does not take the place of, or relieve the responsibility for, obtaining other permits or satisfying restrictions or conditions thereon. It is recommended that the agencies mentioned in Finding #6 below be contacted to identify restrictions or necessary permits. The applicant is advised of the following: The applicants should contact the Aumsville Fire District to obtain a copy of the District’s Recommended Building Access and Premise Identification regulations and the Marion County Fire Code Applications Guide. Fire District access standards may be more restrictive than County standards. The applicants should contact Marion County Septic (503-566-4118) for additional septic authorizations as listed in Finding #6 below, that may be required. APPEAL PROCEDURE: The Marion County Zone Code provides that certain applications be considered first by the County Planning Director. If there is any doubt that the application conforms with adopted land use policies and regula- tions the Director must condition or deny the application. Anyone who disagrees with the Director's decision may request that the application be considered by a Marion County hearings officer after a public hearing. The applicant may also request reconsideration (one time only and a fee of $200) on the basis of new information subject to signing an extension of the 150 day time limit for review of zoning applications. A public hearing is held on appeals subject to the appellant paying a $250.00 fee.
