ALAMEDA:Other Commissioners? There doesn€t appear to be any testimony. Is there <br />anybody from the public who would like to testify on this particular agenda item? Seeing none, <br />Fellow Commissioners, we can discuss further or -? Commissioner Graham. <br />GRAHAM:Do you want to go to sort of general discussion now -? <br />ALAMEDA:Sure. <br />GRAHAM:As if we were going to make a motion as opposed to any further questions <br />of the applicant? <br />ALAMEDA:If there€s no further questions for the applicant, I would entertain -. <br />SIRACUSA:I have a question. <br />ALAMEDA:Go ahead, Commissioner Siracusa. <br />SIRACUSA:Yeah, just one question. You said that you€re a farmer. <br />RAYMOND:Yes. <br />SIRACUSA:And you€re living on, you€re farming this land? <br />RAYMOND:Correct. <br />SIRACUSA:What are your crops? <br />RAYMOND:Well, it has taken me a number of years to find something that was <br />successful and I found that coffee is very successful up there. And within the last week since <br />I€ve had time after submitting this application, I€ve been finishing planting the 2 1/2 acres that I <br />initiated three years ago. <br />SIRACUSA:And that€s the acreage on the point? <br />RAYMOND:That is correct. <br />SIRACUSA:Which is where the house is? <br />RAYMOND:Correct. <br />SIRACUSA:Is that accurate? <br />RAYMOND:That is correct. <br />SIRACUSA:And you said that, you know, a lot of your relatives have professions and <br />they won€t be coming here, to move over here until they€re retired. So I€m wondering if they€re <br />looking to farm the land after retirement, or if we€re looking at gentleman farmer situation here? <br />13EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
