EXPIRATION: This Variance is valid only when exercised by February 25th, 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.

Failure to continuously comply with the conditions of approval may result in this approval being revoked. Any revocation could be appealed to the county hearings officer for a public hearing. 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.

It is recommended that agencies mentioned in Finding #5 below be contacted to identify restrictions or necessary permits. The applicant is advised of the following: 4.
