voL 33 FACE 132
(11) Regulations Not a Guarantee. The degree of flood
protection afforded by the provisions of this ordinance
is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes
and is based upon conventional engineering and scien-
tific methods of study. Larger floods than those
anticipated by these provisions may occur on occasion
or the flood height may be increased by human or natural
causes such as logjams, ice formations or bridge
openings restricted by debris. The indentification of
areas subject to flooding pursuant to the provisions
of this ordinance does not imply that lands outside such
areas will be free from flooding or flood damage. This
ordinance shal not be considered a guarantee against
flood damage.
(12) Technical Variances. A technical variance from the
requirements of this section may be granted by the
Hearings Officer for new construction and for improvements
to existing structures which could not otherwise be
authorized, provided the construction or improvements
are to be erected or installed on a parcel of land
one-half acre or less in size, contiguous to or more or
less surrounded by lots with'existing structures
constructed below the minimum floor elevation established
for flood protection purposes. A parcel of land in
excess of the one-half acre in single ownership on
the effective date of this ordinance is not excluded
from the granting of a technical variance, but the
burden of proof required for issuing the variance
increases as the size of the property under single
ownership increases, and the variance shall be granted
only if required to equalize circumstances, considering
previously developed land adjacent to the parcel for
which a variance is sought.
(13) Historic Variance. A variance for historic preservations
may be granted for the reconstruction, rehabilitation or
restoration of a structure listed on the National Register
of Historic Places of the State Inventory of Historic
Places.
(14) Other Variances. All other variance applications shall
be considered according to the terms of Article 9 of
this ordinance and the following criteria:
(A) The danger that materials may be swept onto others
property.
(B) The danger to life and property due to flooding
or erosion damage.
(C) The susceptibility of the proposed facility to
flood damage and the effect of such damage on
the individual owner.

(D) The importance of the services provided to the
community by the proposed facility.
(E) The necessity to the use of a waterfront location,
where applicable.
(F) The availability of alternative locations not
subject to flooding or erosion damage.
(G) The relationship of the use to the area flood-
plain management program.
(H) The safety of access to the property in times
of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles.
(I) The expected height, velocity, duration, rate
of rise and sediment transport of the floodwaters
and the effect of wave action, if applicable,
expected at the site.
(J) The cost of providing governmental and utility
services during and after flood conditions
including maintenance and repair of public
utilities and facilites such as sewer, gas,
electrical and water system, streets and bridges.
X15) Applicants for a variance shall include with their
I application the following information:
(A) The location of the property with reference to
channel station and flood profile elevation.
(B) The existing topography and proposed grading
plan for the property. Contour interval shall
not be more than one foot for ground slopes up
to five percent and for areas immediately adjacent
to a stream, two feet for ground slopes between
five and ten percent, and five feet for greater
slopes.
(C) The location of existing and proposed diking or
revetments if any.
(16) Grantinq of variances.
(A) If the findings warrant, the Hearings Officer may
grant a variance if he finds the variance will
not result in increased flood heights, additional
threats to public safety or extraordinary public
expense.
(B) An applicant to whom a varinace is granted shall
be given written notice that the structure is
porm.itted. Tl-�e notice shall designate the elevation
it VOL 33 FA,uE 134
of the lowest floor compared to the base flood
elevation and shall advise the applicant that
the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate
with the increased risk resulting from any
reduced floor elevation authorized by the variance.

following showing:
(A) Rezoning to EFU. The applicant must establish
that the 1 -and which is the subject of the
application is currently employed in farm use
as defined in ORS 215.203(2). This showing may
be made either by establishing that the subject
land is currently taxed as unzoned farm land
under ORS 308.370(2), or by other evidence
establishing that the land is currently in farm
use as defined by ORS 215.203(2). Such evi-

SECTION -11-0.040 REZONING OF EFU LANDS UNSUITABLE FOR FARM USE
(1) Rezoning of Certain Lands from EFU to MUA-10. Due
to—the fact that the entire County has not been
completely mapped as to soil type, the legislative
finding is made that certain lands zoned EFU may not
have the potential for agricultural production
necessary to afford the owner an economical use if
the land is zoned EFU if the units in contiguous
ownership are too small to be useful for grazing
purposes. It is found that 320 acres of grazing
land in contiguous ownership without any water rights
or well can provide a minimal economic use. Accord-
ingly, for one year after the acknowledgment of this
ordinance by the Oregon Land Conservation and
Development Commission, the owner of a parcel or
contiguous units of ownership as defined by ORS
Chapter 92, West of Range 15, East of the Willamette
Meridian totaling less than 320 acres in EFU zoning
inclusive of roads and easements of access to other
property, may apply for rezoning to MUA-10, and
shall be required to satisfy only the following
bi,rden of proof in lieu of any other requirement
contained in County Ordinance PL -9, Section 11:
-,144
VOL 33, P At:-,, 191
(A) The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan; and
(B) That the rezoning to MUA-10 will not inter-
fere with any existing neighboring agricultural
use, regardless of the existing zoning on such
neighboring land; and
(C) That the land has a Soil Conservation Service
Capability that is the subject of the applica-
tion predominantly consists of soils in
Classification VI or VII, or is not classified;
and
(D) If Subsection C is satisfied, that the land that
is the subject of the application predominantly
consists of soils in Agricultural Soil Con-
servation Survey Classification VI or VII, or
is unclassified; and
(E) If Subsection D is satisfied, and the.YCounty
Assessor finds that the land subject to - the
application predominantly consists of soils in
'Grade VII or VIII, as determined by the Ore-
gon Department of Revenue Methods Manual,
Section on Mass Appraisal of Farm and Ranch
Properties, or is not graded; and
(F) The land is not classified under any of C, D
or E, a testing method approved by the Planning
Director and executed by a certified soil
scientist discloses that the soil consists
predominantly of Class VII under the Soil Con-
servation Service Capability Classification System.
(G) That the land does not have sufficient water
rights or existing water supply to allow farm
use, as defined in ORS 215.203(2).
