This item was heard at the <br />February 24, 2014 Quarterly Public hearing and the proposal was recommended for approval <br />by the Planning Board at the May 7, 2014 Planning Board Meeting. <br />Presenter: Perdita Holtz, Planning Systems Coordinator <br />Perdita Holtz: Reviewed the item and background. <br />Lydia Wegman: What is an agricultural processing facility community? <br />Perdita Holtz: I don't have all the definitions so I can't read it directly. It is the one that has five or fewer farm <br />partners that are doing an agricultural processing facility on one of their farms. <br />Pete Hallenbeck: Does that imply that the people involved must be farmers from that area? <br />Perdita Holtz: Yes. Orange County or the surrounding counties. <br />Paul Guthrie: How is processing defined? What if five farmers are growing wheat and they put a threshing machine <br />for all them on one farm for an extended period of time. Would that be a processing system? <br />Perdita Holtz: If the machine was outside and not in a building for a limited amount of time. Technically it may be <br />considered, but may fall under bona fide farm regulations. <br />Tony Blake: It is not beef processing? <br />Perdita Holtz: That would be under meat processing. <br />Lydia Wegman: But that is permitted? <br />55 <br />
