DRAFT June 12, 2017 4 Matt Hughes: Senator Brett I believe 1 2 Michael Harvey: Jackson 3 4 Matt Hughes: Jackson. Nevermind 5 6 Susan Halkiotis: So I am kind of confused as to how that necessarily makes it an easier path. 7 8 Michael Harvey: Well it makes it easier for me because it is definable, it is discernible. 9 10 Susan Halkiotis: For you, yes but in this other case it sounds more like what we were discussing among 11 ourselves. 12 13 Michael Harvey: It’s not a discernible/definable process if you are going to claim that a structure is going to 14 be used for agrotoruism activities and it is measureable. Now whether or not a “farmer” has these two 15 components or doesn’t, you are still going to have the disagreement in my mind whether or not they are 16 true farmers. And I need to leave that where that is. 17 18 Susan Halkiotis: I wish you wouldn’t 19 20 Karen Barrows: This is a public meeting 21 22 Barry Katz: If these are measureable and definable traits, Does that mean there would be no more Special 23 Use Permits? 24 25 Michael Harvey: My answer to that question is, if you meet the criteria under state law then I can’t compel 26 you to get a Special Use Permit. If you do not meet the requirements of state law, then the only to do it 27 using a structure is to get a Special Use Permit. I still maintain, and I don’t want to call it a loop pole that is 28 not necessarily fair, but I still maintain that the way it is worded if you are a farm using any of the four 29 criteria this doesn’t prohibit you from engaging in agrotourism activities as laid out in 106581 or as defined 30 in 99E from a liability stand point because that is the liability component of it from engaging in agrotourism 31 activity that does not involve a structure. This makes specific reference to building or structure so we will 32 see what happens but I am of the opinion it is going to be approved. The senate passed it today 33 unanimously so it goes to the house. I have a comment after the meeting is closed. 34 35 Susan Halkiotis: We are going to hold you to that, now my interest is peeked. 36 37 Karen Barrows: Shall we proceed with approval of the minutes. 38 39 Susan Halkiotis: I had no corrections. 40 41 Karen Barrows: I had a few things I saw, Elaina you did a fabulous job. A couple, just a few things were 42 there is a little redundancy and I think it would make it easier. 43 44 Michael Harvey: Can we do it this way, I will call out page numbers? Do you have it? 45 46 Karen Barrows: I have page numbers 47 48 198 of 200
