2. Adequate fire protection and other rural services are or will be available when the use is established. The subject property is within the service areas of Marion County Fire District Number 1 and the Marion County Sheriff's Office. Marion County Land Development Engineering and Permits (LDEP) indicated that the applicants will need an access permit for driveway access off State Street. This would ensure compliance with site distance, design, and applicable safety standards. Water supply and wastewater disposal systems will be located on -site. A septic evaluation will be a condition of approval. The proposed locations for the driveway, septic system, primary and backup drainfield, and a domestic well are indicated on the applicant’s the site plan. Electrical service should be provided by local electrical utility, and the service will come off State Street with all required permits. Taken together, these actions satisfy the criterion. 3. The use will not have a significant adverse impact on watersheds, groundwater, fish and wildlife habitat, soil and slope stability, air and water quality. No significant adverse impact to the watershed is anticipated. Willa Lake is a man made private body of water that was constructed in 1974, with all associated water rights held by the applicants. These rights pertain solely to storage with no provision for the removal of water from the lake. Willa Lake is fed by an intermittent creek at its southern end. The Marion County Wetland Inventory indicates a possible wetland on the east bank of lake from high water mark towards lake where trees are located. There should only be minimal impact since all development would be about 70 feet from the edge of the lake and there would be a 30 foot required setback from nonaquatic vegetation, or the ordinary high water line. The criterion is met. 4. Any noise associated with the use will not have a significant adverse impact on nearby land uses. The applicants state that one additional single family dwelling in an agricultural zone is not expected to generate any significant noise that might impact agricultural practices in the area. They also state that they will comply with Marion County noise ordinance. The criterion is met. 5. The use will not have a significant adverse impact on potential water impoundments identified in the Comprehensive Plan, and not create significant conflicts with operations included in the Comprehensive Plan inventory of significant mineral and aggregate sites. The subject parcel is not located in surface water critical area and the addition of a domestic well should not cause water issues for adjacent properties. Willa Lake is not a natural lake so there should be minimal impact to fish and aquatic wildlife habitat, and the dwelling will be kept away from the shoreline. The lake is not known to be in any fish and wildlife habitat area. Since the parcel is generally flat, there should be no issues with destabilizing the land around the dwelling site. There are no known mineral or aggregate sites as defined by the Marion County Comprehensive Plan on the subject property. The criterion is met. 9. Non-farm dwellings are subject to MCC Section 17.137.050(A). One of the requirements is that the proposed dwelling meet the provisions listed in 17.137.060(B), which reads as follows: B. Non-Farm Dwellings. The following additional criteria apply to non-farm dwelling requests: 1. The dwelling will be sited on a lot or parcel that is predominantly composed of Class IV through Class VIII soils that would not, when irrigated, be classified as prime, unique, Class I or Class II soils. Soils classifications shall be those of the Soil Conservation Service in its most recent publication, unless evidence is submitted as required in MCC 17.137.120(B). The applicants provided a Soils Assessment prepared by Andy Gallagher of Red Hills Soils and a Soils Assessment Completeness Review from the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD). These reports show that the soils on the subject parcel are 51% non-high value soils Class IV and 49% of class II and III soils. The criterion is met. 2. The dwelling will be sited on a lot or parcel that does not currently contain a dwelling and was created before January 1, 1993. The boundary of the lot or parcel cannot be changed after November 4, 1993, in any way that enables the lot or parcel to meet the criteria for non-farm dwelling.
