30 Draft <br /> 1 on Thursday afternoons. I would like to say that I feel honored to be able to support my <br /> 2 community in this way, both through providing mental health services and through providing <br /> 3 meaningful and supportive jobs for the people that we employ. And I believe that there's no <br /> 4 use of this land that would better support Orange County. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Kevin Hornik: All right. And the, the last question I have for you, and this is more just a matter of record <br /> 7 keeping for the Board, but I'm, I'm showing you what I will represent to the Board is Tab 2 of <br /> 8 the supplemental materials. I just handed out the affidavit of Dr. Nora Dennis, are you familiar <br /> 9 with this affidavit? <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Nora Dennis: I am. <br /> 12 Kevin Hornik: This is your signature that appears on the final page? <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Nora Dennis: It is. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Kevin Hornik: Okay. And this is an accurate summary of your testimony and your opinions regarding the <br /> 17 particular use? <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Nora Dennis: It is. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Kevin Hornik: Okay. Thank you. I have no further questions for Dr. Dennis, unless the Board has some? <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Leon Meyers: Board member questions for Dr. Dennis? <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Beth Bronson: You said when, when did the facility open? <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Nora Dennis: The facility opened in June of 2024. I believe it was June 28th, although we bought the land <br /> 28 in April of 2023 and began work later that year in order to renovate the space and add the well <br /> 29 and add the septic. <br /> 30 <br /> 31 Kevin Hornik: And, and for what it's worth, did you apply for bon, you applied for bona fide farm status in the <br /> 32 fall of 2023, is that correct? <br /> 33 <br /> 34 Nora Dennis: Either the fall or the summer? Yeah. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Kevin Hornik: Okay. And I'm going to show you, what I will represent to you is, let me find it. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Cy Stober: If I may, there's no application for bona fide farm status, there's merely an affidavit. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Kevin Meyers: Affidavit. Sure. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Beth Bronson: Thank you. <br /> 43 <br /> 44 Kevin Hornik: But I'm going to show you what I'm representing to the Board is Tab 8 in supplemental <br /> 45 materials if I can. And this is a zoning verification request related to the proposed outpatient <br /> 46 clinic program. <br /> 47 <br /> 48 Nora Dennis: It is. <br /> 49 <br /> 50 Kevin Hornik: Are you familiar with this document? <br /> 30 <br />
