Although Earle ~s in good hearlth and can provide much of the day to day care. due ~:o his age he cannot orovide any heary care. Tbs Depar~men~ of Publlc Works ~ndlca~es that since thc mobile home is ~emDorary, the ~ ~ _ ex_s~ng driveway should De utilized for ~oth residences.

The Marion County Building inspection Division submitted the following "The location of mobile homes for hardship purposes requires an Authorization Notice and evai~ation of the septic system. This authorization must be re-evaluated annually until the ~obiie hom~ is removed." in order to approve a mobile home under hardship situations in an EFU zone, the applicant must demonstrate that i) the mobile home is compatible with farm or forest use: 2) it does no% interfere seriously with farm or forest practices on adjacent lands: 3) it does not materially al. ret the stability of the land use pattern of the area; 4) adequate fire protection and other rural services are available: it will not have a significant adverse impact on timber production, grazing land, watersheds, fish and wildlif~ habitat, soil and slope stability, air and water quality, and outdoor recreation activities; and 6) it ~hall be situated upon land that is generally unsuitable for farm or forest use. A Physician's Certificate must also be provided demons%rating that those residing in the extra mobile home are physically incapable of maintaining a separate resi- dence without assistance that is near~¥. Based on the available evidence, Earle and Shirley Johnson's physlca~ circumstances constitute ~ hardship condit%~pn relating to the aged, %he infirm, or persons otherwise incaoab!e of maintaining a complete, separate and detached residence apart from their family.
