She said the member that voted no was not a member of the 24 Board in 2014. 25 Commissioner Jacobs said he thought it was inappropriate to put that information in an 26 abstract, because it singled a person out. 27 Commissioner Price asked how a major event at a winery or micro brewery is defined, 28 as compared to a minor event. 29 Perdita Holtz said the two primary qualifiers of major versus minor events are the 30 frequency of events, and the number of people in attendance at the events. 31 Commissioner Price asked if the number of people attending must be under 300. 32 Perdita Holtz said she believed it is under 150 people. 33 A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier to 34 close the public hearing. 35 36 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 37 38 Commissioner Jacobs thanked Perdita Holtz, and the planning staff, for working with the 39 BOCC through this long process. He said some philosophical differences with the Towns were 40 resolved. 41 Commissioner Rich asked if Perdita Holtz could remind the Board of the content of the 42 one year check-in. 43 Perdita Holtz said one recommendation is to have an annual report on any activities 44 within the Rural Buffer pertaining to Agricultural Support Enterprises. She said the update will 45 likely be a written or verbal report at the annual AOG Meeting. 46 Commissioner Rich asked if there is any expected action to be taken after the report 47 comes in. 48 Perdita Holtz said, at this time, it is only a report but if needed, future dialogue could 49 occur.
