Beyond the <br /> broader community benefit, the Ackerman family, boasting a long-established legacy in <br /> the ranching and cattle industry, seeks to bring diversity into their business by offering a <br /> small portion of their properties as an event space. <br /> Their envisioned diversification endeavors to maintain the integrity of the land, <br /> ensuring that any changes are minimally intrusive and do not affect the cattle ranching <br /> operations on the remainder of the parcels. Thus, the project proposes to have a minimal <br /> impact on the land, while at the same providing a needed service and bolstering support <br /> of other local businesses (i.e., catering companies, rental supply companies, etc.). <br /> The applicant plans to begin to prepare the property to host events as soon as the <br /> Special Permit is approved and estimates it will take approximately 6 months to complete <br /> 2 <br />
