 SECTION   302.06 SITING STANDARDS FOR STRUCTURES AND DWELLINGS IN THE TIMBER-GRAZING   ZONE
 |  
        | These standards are designed to make such uses compatible with forest operations   and agriculture, to minimize wildfire hazards and risks and to conserve values   found on forest lands. The Baker County Planning Commission shall weigh the   standards to identify the building site has the following   characteristics.
 
 A. Dwellings and structures shall be sited on the parcel   so that:
 
 1) They have the least impact on nearby or adjoining forest or   agricultural lands.
 
 2) The siting ensures that forest operations and   accepted farming practices will not be curtailed or impeded.
 
 3) The   amount of forest lands used to site access roads, service corridors, the   dwelling and structures is minimized.
 
 4) The risks associated with   wildfire are minimized.
 
 B. The approving authority may require setbacks   from adjoining properties, siting near or among existing structures, siting   close to existing roads and siting on that portion of the parcel least suited   for growing trees.
 
 C. The applicant shall provide evidence to the   Planning Commission that the domestic water supply is from a source authorized   in accordance with rules promulgated by the Oregon Department of Water Resources   for the appropriation of ground water or surface water and is not from an   intermittent (a Class II) stream as defined in the Forest Practices Rule. If the   water supply is unavailable from public sources or sources located entirely on   the property, then the applicant shall provide evidence that a legal easement   has been obtained permitting domestic water lines to cross the properties of   affected owners.
