loss of the 1 acre parcel from the 17.1 acre small farm <br />parcel will not affect the viability of the farm operation. <br />The property has access onto a paved county road, is located <br />in a fire district, and has on site services. There is no <br />evidence of any adverse impacts on tho~e items listed in ?.5 <br />above. <br /> <br />Section ~37.070 B (3) of the SA zone states the following: <br /> <br />The partitioning of an existing dwelling from a farm <br />parcel may be permitted if it is shown that (a) the <br />dwellin~ will not be needed fo house farm help, (b) the <br />dwelling was constructed prior to SA zoning or was <br />added to the property through land consolidation, and <br />(c) the requirements in item #7 above are met. <br /> <br />10.

This serves to notify the applicant <br />and subsequent owners that there are farm operations nearby <br />and that a compatible relationship is necessary to promote <br />the continuation of the commercial farm operations in the <br />area. Also, a special dwelling setback of X00 feet should <br />be maintained from the north and east property line to <br />further minimize the potential for conflict with farm u~es. <br /> <br />State law requires that parcels containin~ an approved <br />non-farm homesite must be removed from the special farm tax <br />assessment program. The Assessor's records indicate that <br />the property is currently receiving a Market Value tax <br />assessment on .5 acres and Farm use tax assessment on the <br />rest of the property. <br /> <br /> The other .5 acre portion of the one acre parcel must be <br /> disqualified from farm tax deferral status and cannot be <br /> considered for true cash value for farm use under ORS <br /> 308.370 in the future, except as provided in ORS 2~5. This <br /> <br /> decision, if implemented, establishes the 1 acre parcel as a <br /> non-far~ome,~. <br /> <br />Crai~. r,uedega~ ....... ~,~'" Date <br />Director-Planning Division <br />Community Development Department <br /> <br />R~u s s b~.[ ~lg~-n, 6~I~ nne r Date <br /> <br />STAFF: ANDERSON/dh <br /> <br /> <br />
