County Transportation Planner: The following comments were submitted
I have reviewed the transmittal materials for CU-13-9/LM-12-34/SMA-13-5
to establish a non-farm Dwelling near the northeast corner of the intersectíon of Johnson Market RoadlTumalo Park Road at 19210 Tumalo Park Road, Bend, aka 17-11-12, Tax Lot 900. No traffic study is required, but the applicant will need to pay a transportation system development charge (SDC).
The most recent edition of the lnstitute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Handbook indicates a single-family residence (Land Use 210) generates an average of 10 daily weekday trips and one p.m. peak hour trip. Deschutes County Code (DCC) at 17.16.115(C)(4)(a) states no traffic analysis is required for any use that will generafe /ess than 50 new weekday trips.
BOCC Ordinance 2008-059 as amended sefs an SDC rate of $3,673 per peak hour trip. Given the ITE rate printed above, the proposed land use will generate a síngle p.m. peak hourtrip so fhe applicable SDC,s $3,673. The applicant does need to'know the County is in the midst of updating rT SDG rates and the Board is scheduled to hold a public hearing on June 5, 2013, on Resolution 2013-020. Under that resolution, the updated SDC rate for a single-family honie is proposed to drop to $3,044. The resolution also contains proposed language that for applicants that may start the process under the rate set'by Resolution 2008-059 and end the process under Resolution 2013-020, the County will use the lower of the two SDC rafes. 3

G 1.
Nonfarm Dwelling.
One single-family dwellîng, including a manufactured home in accordance with secúion 18.116.070 of this títle, not provided in conjunction with farm use may be permítted on an existing lot or parcel subject to the following criteria: a
The Planning Director or Hearings Body shall make findíngs that:
I
The dwelling or activifies associated with the dwelling will not f.orce a significant change in or significantly increase fhe cosú of accepted farming practices, as defined in ORS 215.203(2)(c), or accepted forest practices on nearby lands devoted to farm or foresf use.
FINDING: The applicant will be required to sign and record the waiver listed above as a condition of any approval. Properties to the southwest, across Johnson Market Road, are zoned Forest Use, but, since the predominant tree species in this area is juniper, and based on a staff site visit, staff finds that there are no lands.devoted to forest use on nearby lands. Therefore, the proposed dwelling will not force a significant change in or significantly increase the cost of forest practices on nearby lands. Properties located to the east, west and north, across Johnson Market Road, are zoned EFU and several adjacent or nearby properties are irrigated and show signs of farm use. There is irrigated farm land to the northeast, and west, across Johnson Market Road. These properties are located over 500 feet from. the proposed home, are engaged in small-scale extensive operations and are buffered by topography and woodland from the proposed dwelling. For these reasons staff finds the dwelling will not force a significant change in, or significantly increase the cost of, accepted farming practices on adjacent or nearby lands devoted to farm use.
ii.
The proposed nonfarm dwetling does noú materialty alter the
stability of the overall land use pattern of the area. In determining whether a proposed nonfarm dwetling will alter the stability of the land use pattern in the area, the county shall consider the cumulative ímpact of nonfarm dwellings on other lots or parcels in the area similarly situated, by applying the standards under OAR 660-033-0130(4)(a)(D), and whether creation of the parcel wilt tead to creation of other nonfarm parcels, to the detriment of agriculture in the area.
FINDING: On June 1, 1998, the Land Conservation and Development Commission adopted amendments to the administrative rules implementing Goal 3, Agricultural Lands (OAR Chapter 660-033) to incorporate case law and to clarify the analysis under the "stability" approval C

cr¡terion. The rules continue to apply the three-step "stability" analysis first articulated Sweeten v. Clackamas County,17 Or LUBA 1234 (1989). The rules are as follows:
in
(D) The dwelling wilt not materiatly alter the stability of the overall,land use pattern of the area. Ii determining whether a proposed nonfarm dwelling will alter the stabilíty of the land use pa{tern in the area, a county shall consíder the cumulatíve impaci ofpossrble new-nonfarm dwellings and parcels on other lots or parcels in thê area simitarly situated. To address this standard, the county shall:
(i)
Identify a study area'for the cumulative impacfs anatysls. The stydy area,shatt include'at least 2000 acres or a smaller area not less than 7000 acres, if the smaller area is a élistinct agricultural area based on topography, soil types¡.land use'pattern, or the type of farm or ranch oierat¡óné''or piactices that distinguish ît from other, adiacent a'gricult:ural areas. Findings shatt descrîbe the study area, ifs bôundaries, the location of the subiect parcel withín this area, why the selecÚed .area is representatíve of the land use pattern surrounding the subiect parcel and is adequate to conduct the analysis re'quired by thís standard. Lands zoned for rural residential or other urban or nonresource uses sha// not be included in the study area;
. (ií)
. (¡i¡) ' : , '
tdentify within the study area the broad types of farm uses (írrigated or no-nirrigated crops,.pasture or grazing lands), the number, Iocation and type of existing dwettíngs (farm, nonfarm, hardship, etc.), and the dwetting developtment.trends srnce 1993. . Deter¡nine the' potential number of nonfarm/lot of 'record dwellings that could be àpproved under subsecfío ns (3)(a) and section 4 of this rule, incluãing identificatíon of predomínant soil classifications, the parcels created prior to January 7, 1993, and the parcels larger.than -the minimum loi size that may be divíded to create new parcels for nonfarm dwettings under. ORS .215.263(4). The findings shall describe the existíng land use pattern of the study area including the distribution and arrangement of existing uses and the land use pattern that could result from approval of fhe possible nonfarm dwettings under thís subparagraph ; Determine whether approval of the proposed nonfarmllot of record dwettings together with existing nonfarm dwellings will materially alter the staøitity o the land use pattern in the area. The stability of the land use pattern witt be materially altered if the cumulative effect of exístíng and potentíal nonfarm dwellings will make ít more difficult fór the existíng types of farms in the area to contínue operatíon due to diminíshed opportunitíes to expand, purchase or ,éase farmland, acquire water rights or diminish the number of tracts or acreage in farm use in a manner that will destabílíze the overall character of the studY area;
Cumulative lmpacts Analysis Area. The County has applied an area of analysis including all EFU-zoned land located within a one-mile radius of the
1
subjåct propedy'J boundaries and including approximately 2,000 acres (hereafter c u- 1 3-9/SM
A-1
3-5 I LM-1 3-24
7
called "study area"). Staff finds this area of analysis is suitable to provide a comprehensive analysis of the character of the area surrounding the subject property because of its size and the number of parcels located within it. As indicated in a foregoing finding, the study area is zoned Exclusive Farm Use (EFU), Rural Residential (RR-10), Forest Use (F-2) and Surface Mining (SM). Staff estimates that approximately one-half of the study area is zoned EFU.
There are 44 EFU-zoned tax lots in the study area (excluding the subject property). Two of these tax lots are in public (state) ownership. The remaining 42 tax lots are in private ownership. The privately owned parcels in the study area range in size from 0.04 to 201 âGrês: Nineteen of the tax lots in the study ârêâ:ârê 20 acres or less in size (45o/o), twelve tax lots are between 20+ and 40 acres in size (29o/o), eight tax lots are between 40 and 80 acres in size (19o/o), and three tax lots are larger than 80 acres (7%). 2.
Types of Farm Uses. The EFU zoned land in the study area involves farming primarily in the form of irrigated pasture and livestock grazing. Twenty-one (21) of the tax lots in the study area are receiving farm tax deferral, and all but four of them appear to have some kind of farm use occurring. The amount of water rights on these farm deferred properties ranges from zero to 93.17 acres. Based upon the amount of irrigation and the size of the parcels in the study area, staff estimates a total of 474 acres (acreage that ís possibly being irrigated) are engaged in farm use and approximately 1,078 acres are not engaged in farm use. As discussed above, the predominant farm practices include irrigated pasture and livestock grazing. The record indicates that the study area is located within the Tumalo lrrigation District. The study area includes. soil type(s) classified as high value (36A and 1528), and as nonhigh value (34C, 388, 61C, 62D, 72C, B5A, 101E, sBC, 141C, 155D and 157C).
3
Existing Dwellings. The record indicates that 26 of the 42 privalely-owned tax lots in the study area have dwellings. These dwellings were built in the following years: 5 dwellings prior to 1979, I dwellings from 1979 to 1992, and 1 3 dwellings from 1993 to present. Staff finds that the dwellings developed prior to 1979 predated the County's EFU zone and therefore were not subject to EFU zoning requirements. The I dwellings developed between 1979 and 1992 include 2 farm dwellings and 1 nonfarm dwelling. The dwellings constructed up until the late 1980's in this time period were not necessarily reviewed as either farm or nonfarm dwellings. Of the 13 dwellings constructed in 1993 or after, 3 were nonfarm dwellings, 3 were lot of record dwellings, 5 were farm dwellings and 2 were replacement dwellings.
4
Dwelling Development Trends Since 1993. As discussed above, 13 of the dwellings constructed in 1993 or after were nonfarm dwellings, lot of record dwellings, replacement dwellings or farm dwellings. No new farm dwellings have been approved in the study area under the income standards adopted in 1
995.

potential Nonfarm Parcels. Seventeen of the privately owned tax lots in the study atea are vacant. One of the vacant tax lots (17-11-11; 3A2) is almost
entirely irrigated, according to Assessor's records- This property probably would not qúalify for a nonfarm- dwelling. There are no properties that have valid conOit¡onât use permits for nonfarm dwellings that have not been constructed. Therefore, staff iinds that there are a potential 16 nonfarm dwellings that could be established on vacant properties.
Of the existing tax lots, there are nine within the study area (17-11-1, tax lots 40S, 700, ZOl, lOg; 17.11-11, tax rlot 2OO;'17-11-12, lax lots 200, 201, 2O2 and 300) that have enough irrigation water',to qualify for an irrigated land div-ision, where a small, dry uñprodr;1¡ug portion of a farm property is partitioned olf flom a larger farm paicel itrat qualifies under sections 18.16.055 and 18.16-065 of Ti¡e 18. There ¿¡g g privately owned,tax lots that could qualify for a non-irrigated do land division under OöC 19,10.055(G). There are also several properties that public not qualify for a non-irrigated land division because they lack frontage on a road. Stâtf RnOs that ihere is potential for an additional 17 nonfarm dwellings through partitioning of properties. This is an estimate because all new nonfarm p"r"e'|" would havé to'be reviewed under both the conditional use criteria for a nonfarm dwelling and the paÉition criteria.
6.
potential Nonfarm Dwellings. Theoretically, if all of the existing and potential properties identified above were,approved for nonfarm dwellings there could be
an additional 33-such dwellings,(16 vacant parcels, and additional dwellings on each of the parcels potentially capable of a land division)' It is not clear whether a nonfarm dwelling can:be approved on each parcel, since they are reviewed on a case by case básis. The dwellings have to be reviewed for iheir effect on the stability ót tne land use pattern, whether they are on land generally unsuitable land foi the production of crops or livestock, and whether ¡rey w¡il cause a significant change in or significantly increase the cost of accepted farming,practices on adjacent land. Staff will assume for purposes of.review that up to 33 new nonfarm dwellings could be developed, based on the 16 vacant parcels, and the 17 hax lots potentially eligible for a partition. 7
Potential Lot of Record Dweltings. under section 18.16.050(E) and oAR 660033-130(3), a lot of record dwelling may be sited on an EFU-zoned parcel on nonhigh'välue farmland if 'the parcel was created and acquired by the current o*n"r].pr.ior to -January 1 , 1985, has continuously been owned by the present owner,àincê then, and if the lot or parcel,on which the dwelling will be sited was part of a tract on November 4,1993, no dwelling exists on another lot or parcel ihrt *"r part of that tract. Under Section 18.16.050(F) and OAR 660-033on high value farmland if it meets 130(3Xc), 'ciiieriaa lot of record dwelling may,be sited for a lot of record-dwelling on non-high value farmland and the the planning Division finds the parcel cannot practically be managed for farm use ,,due to extraordinary circumstances inherent in the land or its physical setting," such as "very steep slopes, deep ravines ..' ol'other similar natural or physical barriers."
cu-1 3-9/SMA-1 3-5/LM-1 3-24
I
The Planning Division has previously determined that lot of record dwellings can be difficult to obtain, given the requirement for ownership prior to 1985, and the land cannot be suitable for farming based on the above factors. Some parcels may qualify for a lot of record dwelling, but without a specific analysis of each and every parcel, this determination cannot be made. Staff notes that three of the tax lots in the study area have been approved for a lot of record dwelling. 8.
Stability and Character of the Land Use Pattern of the Area. Based upon the above findings, staff finds the land use pattern and character of the study area is a mix of farm use, rural residential and vacant land with larger forest zoned properties to the southwest and surface mining to the southeast. Much of the EFU zoned residential development within the study area occurred on or after 1993, most of which were nonfarm dwellings. The.land use,pattern will continue to be farming and rural residential on those properties not suitable for farm use. The proposed dwelling will be consistent with the land use pattern of the area by allowing a nonfarm dwelling on dry, unproductive property.
9.
Effect on Stability from Proposed Non-irrigated Partition and Nonfarm Dwellings. Approval of the proposed nonfarm dwelling will make a total of 27
dwellings in the study area. The cumulative effect of adding this nonfarm dwelling will not "materially alter the stabílity of the land use pattern in the area" by making it more difficult for the existing farms to continue operation due to diminished opportunities to expand, purchase of lease farmland, acquire water rights or by diminishing the number of tracts or acreage in farm use. The property does not contain any water rights and,does not appear to have ever been in farm use. lt is a wooded tract that separates small, scattered farming activíties to the west, acros,s Johnson Market Road, and,to the northeast from larger surface mining activities to the southeast. The proposed nonfarm dwelling will be located interior to the tract, well separated from any farming activities.
The approval of the pr:oposed nonfarm dwelling will not set a precedent for the wholesale approval of nonfarm dwellings to the detriment of surrounding farming. Historical aerial photos show that all of the properties currently employed iR farm use have remained so over the years. Each proposed nonfarm dwelling is reviewed on the conditions that pertain to a subject property and the surrounding atea. For these reasons staff finds that the proposed nonfárm dwelling will not materially alter the stability of the land use pattern in the area. I'1.

Those properties in the area with similar for generally unsuitable farm use if they are in resource use at all. Staff finds that the property is forest usê because juniper is not a commercial species' water rights but is located wíthin the boundaries of Tumalo lrrigation The property 'Thé has no irrigation property is not receivingépecial assessment for farm orforest use. Based on a staff District. site visit properties tô ttre west, souihwest and northeast contain irrigated farmland: There is an irrigation'ditóh or canal on the subject properly that cuts across the northwest corner. Without irrilation the soils on the property aie all'Class 6s or higher, unsuitable for crop production.
To determine whether it is feasible to use the property for livestock grazing, staff estimates the value of beef production based on the following assumptions, which have been derived through consultation with OSU Extension Service:
. cu-13-9/SM
One Animal Unit Month (AUM) is the equivalent to the forage required for a 1,000 pound cow and calf to giaze for 30 days (700 pounds of forage). According to the
A-13-5]LM-13-24
11
. . o .
soil data sheets for the soils on the subject property, in a normal year 700 lbs./acre dry weight of forage can be produced. On good quality forage, an animal unit will gain 2 pounds per day. Two animal units will eat as much in one month as one animal unit will eat in two months. Forage production on dry land is not continuous: Once forage is eaten, it generally will not grow back untilthe following spring. An average market price for beef is $1.20 per pound.
Based on these assumptions, the value of beef production on the property can be calculated using the following formulas: 30 days x 2tbS/day/acre = 60 lbs. beef/acre 1 acre per AUM
60 lbs. beef/acre x 40 acres x $1.20/lb.
-
$2,880
Thus, the value of beef production on this property would be $2,880. This figure does not take into account any land clearing, fencing, veterinary, feeding, watering, purchase price of animals or other costs associated with livestock grazing. Staff finds that a prudent farmer would not invest in livestock grazing operation with this anticipated gross return and that this demonstrates that the property is generally unsuitable for livestock grazing. Ultimately, staff finds that the subject property is generally unsuitable for farm use, meeting this criterion.

FINDING: The following findings address the proposal's consistency with the site-specific ESEL analysis for the adjacenl surfaCe mine. These findings also address how the proposed dwellíng will ñot prevent the adjacent surface mining operation from meeting the setbacks, standards, and conditíons set forth in Chapter 18.52, Surface Mining zone. Gonformance with ESEE Analysis in the Gomprehensive Plan
.
The ESEE (Economic, Social, Environmental, and Energy) analysis adopted by the county for Site No. 2g3, indicates that land uses in conflict with surface mining will be allowed to occur pursuant to OAR 660-16-010 (paragraph #27). Although residential developmen! is a confliciing use in relation to a surfaòe m¡ne, the county determined in the ESEE analysis that, "New conflicting and 'noise.sensitive' and 'dust-sensitive' uses, such as single-family dwellings, may be. rlt"d *ithin the SMIA zone only if the applicant has signed a waiver of remonstrance precluding protest of any surface mining activities, and. closer that % mile to storage and piocessing-sites only if the applícant can demonstrate that the proposed use will not.rr"" a mining operationto violate siting standards..." (paragraph 27)._Staff finds that the applicant's froposal ,will be consistent with the site-specific ESEE analysis, therefore, ii ihe setback standards specific in Section 18:52.090, 18.52.110, and 18.52j40 are met. Noise standards are addressed below. Gonformance with Section 18.52.090 Subsection 1g.s2.090(A) requires a 250-foàt setuacr for surface mining activities from noise-sensitive or dusi-sensitive uses. The information submitted indicates a 250-foot setback from the surface mining site, meeting this standa¡'d- ' , .,i '
Subsection 18.52,090(8) requires that a mining operator locate storage of resource materials, processing operations.and storage of equipment which create noise and dust at least one-quarter mile from any noise or dust sensitive use, unless the operator demonstrates the following:
a.
Due to parcel size, topography, existing vegetation, or location of conflicting uses or resources, there is no on-site location for the storage,and processing of material or storage of equipment which will have less noise or dust impact; and
b.
Alt noise control and air quality standards of this title can be met by the proposed use for which the exception is requested
FINDING: The applicant has proposed locating the dwelling more than one-quarter mile from the mining operations which create noise and dust. Therefore, the subsection 18:52.090(8) criteria are met.
Conformance with Section 18.52-110 of Title 18 This section details the siting and the performance standards that a'mining operation must meet.
a.
Access, The mining operator must meet the standards specified under this subsÇt¡on, regardlãss-of applicant's proposal. Access to the mining site is
c u- 1 3-9/SM A-1 3-5 I LM-1 3-24
17
from Tumalo Park Road. Applicant's proposal meets the requirement of Section 18.56.100(D), therefore, since the proposed use will not prevent the adjacent surface mining operation from meeting the required setbacks, standards and conditions for road access to public roads and all on-site roads.
b.
is required to visually screen miníng dust sensitive uses only if it is a new site or if site operations from noise and plan review is required.
Screeninq. The
m ining
operator
FINDING: The applicant's proposal meets the requirement of Section 18.52.100 (D) since the proposed use will not prevent the adjacent surface mining operation from meetíng the required standards and conditions for supplied screening, based on the fact that Site No. 293 is a preexisting site and is exempt from these requirements unless the surface mÍning operation is expanded.
c.
Air Qualitv. The minin g operator is required to meet discharge and dust standards prescribed by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) air quality regulations.
FINDING: Staff finds that the proposed use will not cause the sufface mining operator to violate DEQ dust standards because those standards are in force regardless of the presence of the house. Since Site No. 293 is a pre-existing site, the county has no jurisdiction to regulate the operation unless the site is expanded.
d.
Erosion Gontrol.
FINDING: This subsection does not apply to the surface mining operation because it is existing site. These criteria only apply if the síte is expanded. e.
a
pre-
Streams and Drainage.
FINDING: Again, because Site No. 293 is a pre-existing site, these criteria do not apply unless the site is expanded.
f.
Equipment removal.
FINDING: The mining operator is not affected by this requirement because mining operations are occurring at a pre-existing site. However, the applicant's proposal has no effect on whether equipment is removed from the mining site after mining and reclamation is completed.
g.
Flood Plain.
FINDING: The mining operation on Site No. 293 is not being conducted within a flood plain Therefore, staff finds this criterion is not applicable.
h.
Noise.
FINDING: This subsection requires a mining operation to not create noise from vehicles, equipment, or accessory uses which are audible off the site and which exceeds DEQ noise control c u-1 3-9/SMA-1 3-5/LM-1 3-24

standards. Based on DEe noise tables, staff estimates the trucks, bulldozer and loader used on
the site generate 86 dBA (decibels, A-weighted scale) of noise on the site'
formula Noise decreases with distance from a source according to the following noise attenuation used bY
DEQ:

is The letter D represents the distance between the source of noise and the location where noise heard. The applicant's proposed dwelling is at least 250 feet from the surface mining zone , boundary, and an additional,'3s0 feet to thã dosest mining area located on the east half of tax lot .,800: Using the attenuation formula, staff finds the noiqe ievel drops'by 21.6 dBA (20 log 6Q0/50) by the tinie noise generated .at the mining site reaches the applicant's proposed homesite' due to current T'herefore, staff estirñates the noise level at the proposed homesite to be 64.4 dBA

7 of oAR 340Noise generated at this mining site is required to meet the standards found in Table and L1 noise L10, L50, the 35-035: for existing industriaisources oi noise. This table sets forth dBA,,respectively' 75 levels between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. to be 55 dBA,60dBA, and 1% in Lso, L10, and L1 refer to the level of no¡seihat is expected to occur during 5oo/o, 10o/o, and any'given hour, or 30 minutes, 6 minutes, or 36 seconds, respectively. Due to the type of equipment,and the duration of particular phases of activity during mining,.the county geneially consioärs the L10 noise level for medium duration noises to be the appropriate above standard to evaluate for mining operations. The L10 standard is 60 dBA, based on the of of level. reaoh mentioned Table 7. The above findings indicate the noise reaching the site:w-ill mining 64.4 dBA. Staff finds the placement o-f a dwelling in the location shown will cause current the operations to, violate DECit noise standaids. Tñerefore, in order to meet this criterion aþplicant will either have.to site,the dwelling so that it.is at least 1,000 feet from the closest
surface.mining area or provide a noise stuOy demonstrating that the proposed location the meets the standard: This.means the house w¡Íl have to be located at least 650 feet from approval. any of a condition southeast corner of the subject property. This will be attached as
i.
Hours of OPeration.
FINDING:, This mining site must meet standards for operating hours for industrial sites regardless of applicant's proposã¡. Staff finds the applicant's proposal meets the requirement of Section mining operation f g.S'6.f 00 (D), and that the proposed use wilt not prevent the adjacent surface from meeting the applicable standards.
j.
Drillinq and Blastinq.
FINDING: lf drilling and blasting is part of the DOGAMI permit for this site, then it is able to into play if continue to do so bãcause it is a pre-existing site. county regulations would only come the site were to expand. Thus, the proposãd house would not cause the surface mining operator to violate these standards.
Extractio Site Size.
k.
FINDING: This standard, limiting excavation to five-acre areas at one time, is applicable to this not have mining site under its DoGAMI peimit. Therefore, staff finds the applicant's proposal does to demonstrate compliance with this requirement. c u- 1 3-9/S M

l.
Fish and Wildlife Protection.
FINDING: This standard requires fish and wildlife values required in the ESEE analysis be protected. Because this is a pre-existing site, the ESEE conditions are not applicable to this mining site at this time. Therefore, this standard is not applicable to the applicant's proposal. m.
Surface Water Manaqement.
FINDING: Management of water resources ín a manner that meets DEQ and DOGAMI standards
is required regardless of aþplicant's proposal. Applicantls proposal meets the requirement of 18.56.100(D), therefore, since the proposed use will not prevent or affect in any manner the ability of the adjacent surface mining operation from meeting the required standards. n
Storage of Equipment.
FINDING: This standard regarding the limitation of equipment necessary for the mining operation is not affected in any manner by the proposed residence.
o.
Securitv Plan.
FINDING: This standard does not apply to the applicant's proposal as the mining activity occurs on a pre-existing site.
p.
ESEE lmpacts Resolved
FINDING: This standard does not apply to the applicantrs proposal as the mining'site operated as a pre-existing site and is therefore not required to meet the ESEE conditions at this time. Conformance with Section 18.52.140of Title lA; Conditional Use Criteria
FINDING: The criteria in this section must be met by a mine operator to obtain a conditional use permit for certain activities such as crushing, processing aggregate ínto cement, expansion or replacement of a pre-existing dwelling, or off-site sale of the mineral resource. Since this is a preexisting site, these criteria would only be applicable if the operator wanted to expand the site.

Section 18.56.120, Waiver of remonstrance:
The applicant for site plan approval in the SMIA zone shall sign and record in the Deschufes County Book of Records a statement declaring that the applicant and his successors will not now or in the future complain about the allowed su¡-face mining activities on the adjacent surtace mining site.
FINDING: The applicant will comply with this criterion when, as a condition of approval, the applicant signs and records a Waiver of Remonstrance in the Deschutes County Book of Records. The waiver form will be prepared by the County and must be recorded with the County Clerk's office prior to issuance of any building permit for the dwelling.
