Approved 12/12/16 <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 10/10/16 Page 51 of 113 <br /> <br /> <br /> 1 <br />Kara Brewer: Wedding and special events venue. 2 <br /> 3 <br />LeAnne Brown: So your testimony today was that you bought the property with the idea of having a farm 4 <br />but, in fact, when you incorporated the entity that bought the property and you incorporated the entity to 5 <br />operate the property you identified it as a real estate investment for wedding and special events venue. 6 <br />Isn’t that correct? 7 <br /> 8 <br />Kara Brewer: That is correct. 9 <br /> 10 <br />LeAnne Brown: When is your you-pick going to be open? 11 <br /> 12 <br />Kara Brewer: We’re hoping in June. 13 <br /> 14 <br />LeAnne Brown: And what is it people would pick in June on your property? 15 <br /> 16 <br />Kara Brewer: It depends. I do hope to have some sunflowers out there by then. I do want to do Cynthia’s; 17 <br />we’re going to do a lot of those. Solutia might not be up and running by then. I just have a whole list of 18 <br />various ones. 19 <br /> 20 <br />LeAnne Brown: And when do you finalize your plans for what you plant for you pick that would be open for 21 <br />operation in 2017. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Kara Brewer: We’re finalizing now. We’ve already ordered a couple thousand tulip bulbs because we have 24 <br />to get those in as soon as possible. They’ll be shipped out in another two weeks. So they’re coming soon 25 <br />and then we’ll be finalizing our spring plantings now, I mean we’re looking through that now. 26 <br /> 27 <br />LeAnne Brown: How large an area does it take to plant 2,000 tulip bulbs? 28 <br /> 29 <br />Kara Brewer: A very large area. What you do is you have to dig, for the tulips specifically, it’s almost like 30 <br />you dig a ditch and then you drop each one in so I’m assuming… You actually have to put them in there 31 <br />pretty tight so even though it seems like a lot we’ll probably have 2-3 beds of tulips. 32 <br /> 33 <br />LeAnne Brown: Actually, Ms. Brewer, it doesn’t seem like a lot to me at all. How large a container does it 34 <br />take to hold 1,000 tulip bulbs? 35 <br /> 36 <br />Kara Brewer: I don’t know, I haven’t seen the container. 37 <br /> 38 <br />Barry Katz: May I ask, these beds… Are these beds prepared already? 39 <br /> 40 <br />Kara Brewer: No, we have to prepare them? 41 <br /> 42 <br />Barry Katz: Who’s doing that work? 43 <br /> 44 <br />Kara Brewer: I am. 45 <br /> 46 <br />Barry Katz: Those 22 beds? You’re going to do that work? 47 <br /> 48 <br />Kara Brewer: Yes. 49
