Approved 12/12/16 <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 10/10/16 Page 59 of 113 <br /> <br /> <br /> 1 <br />Andy Petesch: And it’s you and your husband individually that are running the farm? 2 <br /> 3 <br />Kara Brewer: Correct. 4 <br /> 5 <br />Andy Petesch: And so the nature of the business for The Barn of Chapel Hill LLC was correct? 6 <br /> 7 <br />Kara Brewer: That’s correct. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Andy Petesch: And also discussed, the preparation for the farm plan summary, which is under tab 16, and 10 <br />you indicated that you had completed this summary in the last few days. Is that correct? 11 <br /> 12 <br />Kara Brewer: That’s correct. 13 <br /> 14 <br />Andy Petesch: But the information that’s included in this summary… What period of time ahs that been put 15 <br />together? 16 <br /> 17 <br />Kara Brewer: I would say a bulk of it was right around the time that we purchased the property so probably 18 <br />around summer 2015, roughly. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Andy Petesch: Ok. And your testimony at the November 9th SUP hearing, which Ms. Brown reference, 21 <br />again you’ve testified it was your understanding that you could only speak to the camp retreat use that was 22 <br />being used during that hearing so you did not address other uses that you had intended for the farm? 23 <br /> 24 <br />Kara Brewer: That is correct, yes. 25 <br /> 26 <br />Andy Petesch: And finally, how are you going to start your seedlings? I believe you testified earlier that they 27 <br />were going to start inside the barn? 28 <br /> 29 <br />Kara Brewer: Correct. Yes. 30 <br /> 31 <br />Andy Petesch: So, physically, what will that look like? 32 <br /> 33 <br />Kara Brewer: So we start and we just have tables set up where we all go in and we do the soil blocking and 34 <br />then we put in the seeds and then we’re going to have these racks and you just put the soil block on a tray 35 <br />and then you put the tray on the rack and you wait for the seed to germinate and then you take it outside 36 <br />when it’s ready. 37 <br /> 38 <br />Andy Petesch: So where’s the light source? 39 <br /> 40 <br />Kara Brewer: The light is attached to the rack. 41 <br /> 42 <br />Andy Petesch: And how many racks do you anticipate you will be using, once you’re at full capacity? 43 <br /> 44 <br />Kara Brewer: At least 15, maybe more. And again, we’ll be going in and out so we’ll empty one and fill it 45 <br />back up. 46 <br /> 47 <br />Andy Petesch: Alright. No further questions. 48 <br /> 49
