UNGER: Have you decided what sort of intense agricultural operation you want to develop in order to qualify for your second dwelling? IN: Yes, I’m planning to take some workshops on starting a farm and starting an agri business. Basically my, my vision is to apply for some kind of a non-profit status so that I can do farming but have peoples from the community come for education, for health needs, and have small sustainable agriculture there whether it’s beds or fishponds or a closed system that can make use of composting, things like that. And, you know, previously when I was hoping to create a pocket neighborhood, we did apply and approach the Water Department, and they said that there was a possibility of having additional water meters, that there was access to County water. So water is not a problem. But my, the language in the County ordinance says that, you know, we would be submitting a plan of how we would envision the farm, yes. UNGER: Thank you. Any other questions? Thank you, Dr. In. IN: Thank you. UNGER: The hearing is now open for public testimony. Is there any members of the public here to testify on this matter? Seeing none, I would like a motion from the Commissioners to close this portion. SHIMAOKA: I motion that we close. NOBRIGA: Second. UNGER: We have a motion by Commissioner Shimaoka, second by Commissioner Nobriga. All in favor? COMMISSIONERS: Aye. UNGER: Oppose? \[None.\] Motion carries. Public hearing is closed. So, Commissioners, I’m looking for a motion on this agenda item. SHIMAOKA: I move that a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the County Council — NOBRIGA: I second. SHIMAOKA: — on the application for Change of Zone, Docket Number REZ 17-217, based on our Planning Director’s recommendation and findings, which shall be adopted. NOBRIGA: I second. UNGER: So we have a motion by Commissioner Shimaoka, second by Commissioner Nobriga. The floor is now open for discussion. 8 EXHIBIT A
