III. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
Title 18 Deschutes County Zoning Ordinance.
A. CHAPTER 18.16. EXCLUSIVE FARM USE ZONE
1. Section 18.16.010. Uses Permitted Outright.
The following uses and their accessory uses are permitted outright:
J. Alteration, restoration or replacement of a lawfully established dwelling that:
1. Has intact exterior walls and roof structure;
2. Has indoor plumbing consisting of a kitchen sink, toilet and bathing
facilities connected to a sanitary waste disposal system;
3. Has interior wiring for interior lights;
4. Has a heating system; and
5. In the case of replacement, is removed, demolished or converted to an
allowable use within three months of completion of the replacement
dwelling. A replacement dwelling may be sited on any part of the same lot
or parcel, and shall comply with all applicable siting standards. If the
dwelling to be replaced is located on a portion of the lot or parcel not zoned
for exclusive farm use, the applicant, as a condition of approval, shall
execute and record in the deed records for the county a deed restriction
prohibiting the siting of a dwelling on that portion of the lot or parcel. The
restriction imposed shall be irrevocable unless a statement of release is
placed in the deed records for the county. The release shall be signed by the
county or its designee and state that the provisions of the statute and county
code have changed to allow the siting of another dwelling; and
6. The replacement dwelling is subject to OAR 660-033-0130(30), as follows:
The County shall require as a condition of approval of a single-family
replacement dwelling that the landowner for the dwelling sign and record in
the deed records for the county a document binding the landowner, and the
landowner’s successors in interest, prohibiting them from pursuing a claim
for relief or cause of action alleging injury from farming or forest practices
for which no action or claim is allowed under ORS 30.936 to 30.937.
7. An applicant for a replacement dwelling may request a deferred
replacement dwelling permit.
a. The dwelling to be replaced shall be removed or demolished within three
months after the deferred replacement permit is issued.
b. A deferred replacement permit allows construction of the replacement
dwelling at any time. If, however, the established dwelling is not
removed or demolished within three months after the deferred
replacement permit is issued, the replacement permit becomes void.
Page 4 of 5 - DECISION OF DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
in MA-12-1 / AD-11-11 (Simpson) – Deschutes County Document No. 2013-229
c. The replacement dwelling must comply with applicable building codes,
plumbing codes, sanitation codes and other requirements relating to
health and safety or to siting at the time of construction.
d. A deferred replacement permit may not be transferred, by sale or
otherwise, except by the applicant to the spouse or child of the applicant.
FINDING: As noted in the Planning Division’s findings, there exist three homes on
the subject property. For reference, a 1932 site built home is centrally located in the
developed area of the property. The applicants propose to use this home as the
Relative Farm Assistance Dwelling. Compliance with DCC 18.16 for a Relative
Farm Assistance dwelling is addressed below in this decision.
Immediately north of the 1932 home is a manufactured home referred to as the North
Home. The North Home will be used as the primary farm dwelling. However, this
manufactured home was established without proper permits. The Board concurs with
the Planning Division’s findings and thus a condition of approval will be required that
the applicant obtain necessary permits from the Deschutes County Building Division
and Environmental Soils Division prior to initiation of use of the primary farm
dwelling.
South and west about 350 feet of the 1932 home is another manufactured home
referred to as the South Home. The applicants propose to use the South Home as the
Accessory Dwelling. The Board concurs with the Planning Division’s findings that
the previous home located at the South Home site was lawfully established.
Furthermore, the Planning Division’s findings found that the replacement of the home
in 1996 without proper building or septic permits did not qualify the current home as
a lawfully established replacement dwelling home. The Board need not decide this
issue, however, as the applicants applied for approval of an accessory dwelling and
that approval has been granted. Compliance with DCC 18.16 for an Accessory
Dwelling is addressed below in this decision.
2. Section 18.16.025. Uses Permitted Subject to the Special Provisions Under DCC Section
18.16.038 and a Review Under DCC Chapter 18.124 where applicable.
A. Dwellings customarily provided in conjunction with farm use (farm-related
dwellings), subject to DCC 18.16.050.
B. A relative farm assistance dwelling, subject to DCC 18.16.050.
FINDING : The Board adopts the Planning Division’s findings on this criterion.
3. Section 18.16.050. Standards for dwellings in the EFU zones.
Dwellings listed in DCC 18.16.025 and 18.16.030 may be allowed under the
conditions set forth below for each kind of dwelling, and all dwellings are subject to
the landowner for the property upon which the dwelling is placed, signing and
recording in the deed records for the County, a document binding the landowner,
Page 5 of 5 - DECISION OF DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
in MA-12-1 / AD-11-11 (Simpson) – Deschutes County Document No. 2013-229
and the landowner’s successors in interest, prohibiting them from pursuing a claim
for relief or cause of action alleging injury from farming or forest practices for
which no action or claim is allowed under ORS 30.936 or 30.937.
FINDING: The Board adopts the Planning Division’s finding on this criterion and
concurs that the applicants shall be required as a condition of any approval to sign
and record a Farm and Forest Management Easement in the deed records for the
County.
C. Accessory dwelling. A dwelling, including a manufactured home in accordance
with DCC 18.116.070, is considered to be an accessory farm dwelling
customarily provided in conjunction with farm use when:
1. The accessory dwelling meets the following criteria:
a. The accessory farm dwelling will be occupied by a person or persons
who will be principally engaged in the farm use of the land and whose
seasonal or year-round assistance in the management of the farm use,
such as planting, harvesting, marketing or caring for livestock, is or will
be required by the farm operator; and
FINDING: The Board adopts the Planning Division’s finding on this criterion and
includes the additional duties performed by the occupants, David and Terry Page. As
indicated previously, Mr. and Mrs. Page provide both seasonal (spring/summer
months) and year-round assistance. David Page provides assistance by spraying/
pruning, mowing grounds, weed control, road grading, cat driving/clearing,
monitoring of pond level for irrigation and livestock water, assisting in dehorning elk,
and welding and fabrication. Terri Page provides assistance in elk births, elk calf
monitoring, elk-related record keeping, general bookkeeping, and ranch security.
Based on the evidence in the record, the Board finds the proposed Accessory
Dwelling will be occupied by a person or persons, Mr. and Mrss Page in this case,
who are principally engaged in the farm use of the land and whose assistance in the
management of the farm use as required by the farm operator. The Board agrees with
Planning staff regarding the inclusion of a condition of approval that requires only a
person or persons shall occupy the Accessory Dwelling who is principally engaged in
the farm use as required by the farm operator.
b. The accessory farm dwelling will be located:
i. On the same lot or parcel as the primary farm dwelling; or
ii. On the same tract as the primary farm dwelling when the lot or
parcel on which the accessory farm dwelling will be sited is
consolidated into a single parcel with all other contiguous lots and
parcels in the tract; or
iii. On a lot or parcel on which the primary farm dwelling is not located,
when the accessory farm dwelling is limited to only a manufactured
home and a deed restriction substantially in compliance with the
form set forth in Exhibit A to DCC 18.16 is filed with the County
Clerk. The deed restriction shall require the manufactured dwelling
Page 6 of 5 - DECISION OF DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
in MA-12-1 / AD-11-11 (Simpson) – Deschutes County Document No. 2013-229
to be removed when the lot or parcel is conveyed to another party.
The manufactured home may remain if it is reapproved under DCC
18.16.050; or
iv. On a lot or parcel on which the primary farm dwelling is not located,
when the accessory farm dwelling is located on a lot or parcel at
least the size of the applicable minimum lot size under DCC
18.16.065 and the lot or parcel complies with the gross farm income
requirements in DCC 18.16.050(A)(3) or (B)(1), whichever is
applicable; and
FINDING: The Board adopts the Planning Division’s finding on this criterion and
acknowledges that the applicant is proposing to use the existing manufactured home,
known as the South Home, for the Accessory Dwelling. It will be made a condition
of approval that the applicant obtains necessary permits from the Deschutes County
Building Division and Environmental Soils Division prior to initiation of use of the
Accessory Dwelling.
c. There is no other dwelling on land zoned EFU owned by the farm
operator that is vacant or currently occupied by persons not working on
the subject farm or ranch and that could reasonably be used as an
accessory farm dwelling; and
FINDING: The Board adopts the Planning Division’s finding on this criterion.
2. The primary farm dwelling to which the proposed dwelling would be
accessory meets one of the following:
a. On land not identified as high-value farmland, the primary farm
dwelling is located on a farm or ranch operation that is currently
employed in farm use and produced $32,500 in gross annual sales in the
last two years or three of the last five years. In determining gross
income, the cost of purchased livestock shall be deducted from the total
gross income attributed to the tract; or
b. On land identified as high-value farmland, the primary farm dwelling is
located on a farm or ranch operation that is currently employed for farm
use, and produced at least $80,000 in gross annual income from the sale
of farm products in the last two years or three of the last five years.
Gross income shall be calculated by deducting the cost of purchased
livestock from the total gross income attributed to the tract; and
FINDING: The Board adopts the Planning Division’s finding on this criterion.
3. A lot or parcel approved for an accessory farm dwelling under DCC
18.16.050 shall not be approved for a division of land except as provided for
in DCC 18.16.055(B).
FINDING: The Board adopts the Planning Division’s finding on this criterion.
Page 7 of 5 - DECISION OF DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
in MA-12-1 / AD-11-11 (Simpson) – Deschutes County Document No. 2013-229
4. An accessory farm dwelling approved pursuant to this section cannot later
be used to satisfy the requirements for a nonfarm dwelling pursuant to DCC
18.16.050(G).
FINDING: The Board adopts the Planning Division’s finding on this criterion.
D. Relative farm assistance dwelling.
1. A dwelling listed in DCC 18.16.030(B) is allowed when:
a. The subject tract is at least 40 acres in size, unless it is demonstrated to
the Planning Director or Hearings Body that a smaller unit of land is a
commercial agricultural enterprise.
FINDING: The Board adopts the Planning Division’s finding on this criterion.
b. The subject tract is used for farm use;
FINDING : The Board adopts the Planning Division’s finding on this criterion and
concurs the subject property is used for farm use.
c. The dwelling is a manufactured home and is sited in accordance with
DCC 18.116.070, or is a pre-existing site-built home that: (1) was
established at least 30 years prior to the date the land use permit was
submitted and (2) is located on a parcel of at least 40 acres in size and
that meets the minimum irrigated acres standard for the subzone within
which it is located;
FINDING: The proposed Relative Farm Assistance Dwelling will be a single-family
dwelling established in 1932. The Board adopts the Planning Division’s findings on the
criteria regarding using pre-existing site-built homes as a farm assistance dwelling.
d. The dwelling is located on the same lot or parcel as the dwelling of the
farm operator, and is occupied by a relative of the farm operator or farm
operator’s spouse, including a grandparent, step-grandparent,
grandchild, parent, step-parent, child, brother, sister, sibling, step-
sibling, niece, nephew, or first cousin of either, if the farm operator
does, or will, require the assistance of the relative in the management of
the farm use.
1. Notwithstanding ORS 92.010 to 92.190 or the minimum lot or parcel
size requirements under ORS 215.780, if the owner of a dwelling
described in this subsection obtains construction financing or other
financing secured by the dwelling and the secured party forecloses
on the dwelling, the secured party may also foreclose on the
homesite, as defined in ORS 308A.250, and the foreclosure shall
operate as a partition of the homesite to create a new parcel.
Page 8 of 5 - DECISION OF DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
in MA-12-1 / AD-11-11 (Simpson) – Deschutes County Document No. 2013-229
2. Prior conditions of approval for the subject land and dwelling
remain in effect.
3. For purposes of this subsection, “Foreclosure” means only those
foreclosures that are exempt from partition under ORS 92.010(7)(a).
FINDING: The Board adopts the Planning Division’s findings on these criteria.
This dwelling is located on the same parcel as the primary farm dwelling. The
relative farm help in this case is Kathy Simpson’s father and stepmother, Eldon and
Marilynn Tobiasson. Eldon Tobiasson assists on the ranch by repairs fencing, aiding
in fabrication of repairs, driving a tractor (discing, seeding, raking, baling), moving of
irrigation (handlines, wheelines), planting of seed, controlling Gophers in the hay
fields, maintaining the property, cutting and hauling firewood, picking up rocks,
driving dump truck, and feeding livestock. Marilynn Tobiasson provides seasonal
work on the ranch, including but not limited to assisting with and monitoring cows
and calves, preparing fields, and operating backhoe and other farm equipment.
e. The farm operator plays the predominant role in the management and
farm use of the farm and will continue to do so after the relative farm
help dwelling is approved.
FINDING: The Board adopts the Planning Division’s finding on this criterion.
f. Any approval granted under DCC 18.16.050 shall be conditioned with a
requirement that the farm operator annually submit a report to the
Planning Division identifying the resident(s) of the dwelling, their
relationship to the farm operator, the assistance the resident provides to
the farm operator, and verifying the farm operator’s continued
residence on the property and the predominant role the farm operator
continues to play in the management and farm use of the farm.
FINDING: The Board concurs with the Planning Division on this criterion. It will
be made a condition of final approval that the farm operator submits annually to the
Planning Division a report that details the above noted information.
2. A manufactured home permitted under DCC 18.16.050 shall be considered
to be a temporary installation, and permits for such home shall be
renewable and renewed on an annual basis. The manufactured home shall
be removed from the property if it no longer meets the criteria of DCC
18.16.050 and the approval shall be so conditioned.
FINDING: The Board adopts the Planning Division’s finding on this criterion.
3. A pre-existing dwelling approved under DCC 18.16.050 shall be removed or
converted to an allowable use within one year of the date the relative farm
help dwelling no longer meets the criteria of DCC 18.16.050 and the
