Council signs zoning review form for structural permit after questions about setbacks and signatures
Summary
Council reviewed a county structural-permit submission and plot plan for a local property, raised concerns about a missing owner signature and 18 vs. 20-foot setback measurements, and approved signing the local zoning review form while noting the county handles sanitation and floodplain issues.
Councilors examined a county structural-permit and plot plan submitted for a property owner (referred to in the meeting as Mr. Muppert). Members raised questions about whether the plot plan used the correct front-yard/setback reference (18 feet on one sheet vs. 20 feet stated elsewhere) and whether the applicant had provided an owner signature required by local regulations.
Councilors clarified that the city’s role is to verify zoning and setbacks; Wasco County Planning and Wasco County Health handle floodplain and sanitation approvals. One councilor said the LUBA-requested items had been sent to the applicant and that a completed structural permit form must be reviewed by the city. Because some councilors had not seen all required paperwork, one member asked to table if there were objections; another noted the council has approved plot plans at meetings when all councilors agreed.
After comparing ordinance excerpts and the county form, the council moved to sign the local zoning approval section of the county structural-permit form, with the recorder to follow up to ensure all required documentation is on file.
