APPROVED 6/12/17 1 2 Kara Brewer: Seventeen, 3 4 LeAnn Brown: Do you recall in the line of testimony that we were having about the adversement 5 that people have full run of your farm during their weddings, do you recall a conversation about 6 equipment and whether you would move equipment from the barn? 7 8 Kara Brewer: I do not. We'd have to. Can you repeat that? I'm not sure what you're,,, 9 10 LeAnn Brown: Do you recall us having a conversation in that hearing about how much space it 11 would take to store flour in the barn, which at the time you told the Board was what you would be 12 doing with it? 13 14 Kara Brewer: Oh, yes. I do have some information about that if you'd like me to introduce that. 15 16 LeAnn Brown: I'm not interested in gleaning from you how your testimony's changed between this 17 time and the last hearing, I'll leave that to. 18 19 Kara Brewer: My testimony has not changed, 20 21 LeAnn Brown: I just wanted to know if you recalled that line of questioning. Do you recall Mr. 22 Petesch asked you about your testimony in the on page what he had identified as page 56? 1 had 23 asked you about the minutes of the Board of Adjustment hearing regarding your SUP and I had 24 asked you the question, "is this an accurate reflection of your testimony of the hearing ? ", your 25 attorney asked you, "And Kara why did you choose this specific property at this site ?" and you 26 testified, "Right, so I had looked probably over the course of two years 20 -30 properties walking 27 different ones when we came across this particular property it is a just, it's just a beautiful property 28 and like I said, the size itself was very important to me, The fact that it was 22 -acres it allows me to 29 have a very private events in the middle of the property and that was important to me, it's important 30 to clients, and also I think it will benefit the neighbors as well And I ask you if you recall that 31 testimony and you said, "That is correct ". That's part of the testimony that Mr. Petesch had marked. 32 1 then asked you the question or just before that question, I then asked you, "Do you recall the 33 following testimony? You were asked by your attorney and can you just tell us a little bit about how 34 often you expect to be holding events at the barn, like weddings ". And then I asked if you recall the 35 following testimony: "So wedding season is primarily May to October so it does run about six 36 months during that time. I do expect 1 -3 events per week at the property. Off- season, which is 37 November through'April will be less on where there isn't going to be there, I apologize but that's the 38 way it's written, with the occasional winter wedding. Perhaps the early spring wedding. When the 39 barn isn't used for weddings and wedding related events that's when I anticipate we could do more 40 charity and fundraiding raising events on Friday or Saturday night when it isn't being used for 41 weddings, During the off season there will be weeks where there is nothing going on, there will be 42 a few weeks where there's one or two events per week ". And I ask if you recall that testimony and 43 you said, "That is correct ". I then ask you how those events were incidental to your farming 44 operation and you answered that, "What we are specific doing specifically with the weddings is 45 we're offering farm tours. It's what attracts people to book the farm itself. So we offer farm tours, 46 we offer honey tastings, we offer floral workshops. That's what they want. That's why they come 47 out to the farm so it's just a part of that ". I then ask you if those activities were incidental to the 27
