telephone and the drone of the blower is bothering whoever she was talking to. The third incident, again, was when I was blowing, and someone wandered into my field, and said the man in the house where the proposed bed and breakfast is having epileptic seizures, and would you please stop blowing. And I said, no, I can’t, I’ve got pickers behind me. And I subsequently checked with my partner in our business, who is a doctor, and he said that a noise will not trigger a seizure, however, improper medication will. So, with these three incidents, I’m very gun shy of an activity that’s directly next door to me that’s going to be primarily conducted in the early morning hours when I will be out there blowing or spraying or mowing or doing whatever I have to do. And even though you could put various restrictions or so forth on this -. The previous applicant is a fine example of why that is worthless because you go back to the Planning Commission and say, well, you know, we just bought this property from Michael and Greg, and now we want to have Mr. Farwell our next door stop his activity. And, well, I know you can’t stop me from farming. I can be harassed. And with all the difficulty that farming entails, and we have business that we are trying to operate -. SIRACUSA: Please speak into the mike, so I can hear you. FARWELL: I’m sorry. Okay. With all of this activity going on next door, I don’t see how in good conscience that you can grant a bed and breakfast and allow my farm to continue to operate next door. The two are fundamentally incompatible. ALAMEDA: Okay. Fellow Commissioners, any questions? Commissioner McCall, you are a farmer. You, too? Go ahead. SIRACUSA: Yes, so, Mr. Farwell, you are saying that even should Mr. Martinage and his partner stipulate and agree to allow us to put a condition in the permit that says that they will not try to prevent you from exercising your normal farming operations whether or not they cause noise, you still would not consider that a sufficient resolution of the problem, you would still want to go ahead with the contested case? FARWELL: I have nothing personal against Michael or Greg. They are great guys. I just met them, and we get along fine. But one of the difficulties with bed and breakfasts is the fact that the permit is transferable, and that means that it’s there forever. So if Michael and Greg have a problem and sell the property and someone else buys the property, they are under no restrictions as to whether or not they would uphold us. And even if they were, the fact that people are coming out there and glaring at you or wondering why you are blowing these leaves or why whatever you are doing there, it’s a form of harassment that I don’t feel it’s fair. SIRACUSA: Thank you. Number One: You did not answer my question. Number Two: if we put it as a condition of the permit, then it doesn’t matter if they sell the property to someone else; the person would still be bound by those conditions. My question was if we were to do that, if Mr. Martinage would agree and the Commission would agree to make an extra condition in the permit, would you consider that sufficient to drop your application for a contested case, or do you want to continue with that anyway? FARWELL: I appreciate what you are trying to say, and putting the restriction and condition on sounds good on paper, but it severely restricts what I can do with the property at some future date. I have a large clearing up above, and if our business continues to grow as it is, EXHIBIT A 7
