A: This is more of a land use and zoning issue. I have changed the category for you. This is not my area of expertise but I can tell you that you need to investigate all laws that would apply. Oregon's Land use Laws, Oregon Building Codes, Building Codes, zoning and land use laws for Clatsop County and rules/laws/codes for any city that has jurisdiction over your land. You probably would want to talk to an Attorney who knows the land use laws and codes for Clatsop County. I suspect that the size of the house won't be an issue as long as it meets all the code requirements and you get the required permits.
