Approved 12/12/16 OC Board of Adjustment – 10/10/16 Page 80 of 113 wedding venue specifically. At that point in time we told her the event center she was describing to us, i.e. 1 staff, would require the issuance of a Class B SUP as defined within our UDO. 2 3 Barry Katz: And that’s why we went through this process? 4 5 Michael Harvey: Yes, sir. And as I testified not only at the aforementioned hearing but at your last Board 6 of Adjustment meeting the determination that Ms. Brewer had to go through this process, originally, for this 7 parcel of property was that at the time there was no ag activity on same and that this would be, in fact, the 8 principal use if established. 9 10 Barry Katz: Right. That was our impression. So I wanted to just ask you about your apiary. You have 3 11 beehives on the property. And do you plan on actually extracting the honey on the premises? 12 13 Chris and Kara Brewer: Yes. 14 15 Barry Katz: And does anyone have any notion about how many beehives one would need in order to make 16 a viable business out of processing of honey? 17 18 Chris Brewer: Well we just started out and we have 2 beehives at our house and then we have 3 at the 19 property now so we’re about a year and a half into beehives. So I wouldn’t consider ourselves an expert but 20 we think that if we had 10 hives then we felt like that would be significant enough to at least be able to offer 21 them. I think the beehives. They’re very fickle, so it’s difficult to… I’m not sure. 22 23 Barry Katz: I don’t know how relevant your hives are to the fact that you are purporting to be an agricultural 24 entity, that’s all. 25 26 Andy Petesch: And next I’d like to ask Mr. White to provide some testimony. I’d like to remind you Mr. White 27 that you’re still under oath. Would you just state your name and address again for the record? 28 29 LeAnne Brown: I need to object here as well. Mr. White testified. I was given the opportunity as I’m required 30 to be to cross-examine him and his testimony came to an end and so I’m not sure why he’s being recalled, 31 in the interest of time I would ask the Board not to allow us to re-plow the field that you chose to plow last 32 time. Pardon the farm analogy. 33 34 And Petesch: As I indicated at the opening I asked Mr. White to prepare a written report given the late hour 35 of his testimony and the density of some of the material that he was trying to provide testimony regarding. 36 And so I simply wanted to have him hand this up and have an opportunity for you all to ask any follow up 37 questions that you may have. 38 39 Karen Barrows: How much is in that report Andy? 40 Andy Petesch: It is 5 pages and I asked him to do a 3 minute overview and if you have any questions but it 41 may be over assistance to you during your deliberations or to refresh your memory as to what his testimony 42 was from approximately 11:15-12:15 two Monday’s ago. 43 44 Karen Barrows: Do we want to see this stuff? 45 46 Barry Katz: It’s 3 minutes. We can’t deny that, I think, for 3 minutes. 47 48 Andy Petesch: Would you briefly just, for the Board, define food systems quickly. 49
