I would agree on the basis of the statement that actually Mr. Harvey wrote of <br />the camp retreat which is fairly broad and what you do at a camp retreat. Education and social and I think yoga is <br />educational it may not be agricultural but it is education. <br /> <br />Larry Wright: I would take issue of music in a barn, there are studies that show that music in a barn does enhance milk <br />production. <br /> <br />Mark Micol: I would say that fits in with the social retreat. <br /> <br />David Blankfard: And then also the instructor stated that they were also saying how a cow or corn would grow as also <br />on page 68, activities that tie into school subjects, the study of animals, the study of plants, in an active manner. <br /> <br />Tom Brown: You could certainly, I think make an argument that at least the particular item would not contravene the <br />intent of 8.7.1. <br /> <br />Mark Micol: Right, and so the next easiest one is going to be the fundraiser. If we keep it to animal related. <br /> <br />Dawn Brezina: Particularly animal related, Great Danes…. <br /> <br />Mark Micol: If we stipulate that the fundraisers have to have animals or ag, it has to be related to what the center is <br />there for which could be dogs it could be other types of animals. <br /> <br />Tom Brown: My concern with these is there has not been discussion specifically on the uses as far as entertainment, <br />indoor, outdoor it’s not specified. Other issues that go along with that, big events, waste, bathroom facilities, sewage I <br />mean these have not been addressed because they have the parking, exactly, these could be potentially an increase in <br />intensity specifically addressed in Section 8.7.1. I think two and five are…. <br /> <br />Mark Micol: Five is the one that is probably going to be problematic. The wedding receptions, the family reunions, <br />that’s parties, that’s music, a fundraiser could be five people it could be 50 people and we …. <br /> <br />Dawn Brezina: But you can limit that the other thing is that people have weddings and family reunions and fairly large <br />parties at their homes. <br /> <br />David Blankfard: Maybe once a year though. <br /> <br />Mark Micol: The fundraiser, that’s probably going to be limited to twice, three times a year. <br /> <br />Dawn Brezina: It seems perhaps the number of times is something that would be appropriately addressed, the number <br />of events. <br /> <br />James Carter: What about, you have it under staff development, that’s indication. Does that come under special <br />rentals? Under staff development, Orange County Schools and different schools, you bring your staff off campus and <br />go on another location. <br /> <br />Tom Brown: I see that’s one use, if we allow all of that it would not specify it to one use, we would, I think it would be <br />more appropriate to have the community weigh in and then testify that they would like to modify a special use and here’s <br />what really what we want to do and here’s what we think, how many events we’re going to have year. What is it 50 or <br />a 100? We have absolutely no control now because it hasn’t come before the Board. <br /> <br />Larry Wright: And how many people, I think the number of people per event would be important as well. You can have <br />a wedding with eight or you can have a wedding with 800.
