John Larrison of Holloway Engineering presented members of the BZA with paperwork in regards to the barn. Hall Mynatt spoke on behalf of her family. Hall states that she was married in the barn, the barn then became the families working barn for the farm. Hall tells the BZA that the family was approached about using the barn for a two day benefit concert, she clarifies that event was a one -time event. She continues on and says that others began asking her to use the barn for their weddings. She states they want to share the barn, she has been in contact with a lady that runs a wedding barn in Avon, that barn does approximately 60 weddings or events a year that is not the families vision for the barn on Milkhouse lane, they are thinking 12 -15 weddings a year. Ross Holloway spoke on behalf of the Perry / Mynatt family. He stated that the Barn at Milkhouse Lane was requesting a special exception rather than a rezone due to the fact that the family wanted to retain the Agricultural zoning as they are continuing to farm the land. Ross explained that the Plan Commission voted unanimously in February that the plans do not adversely affect the Master Land Use Plan, he goes on to say that the family wishes to only host 12 —15 weddings a year, no other venues. Ross presented a slide show, the barn is 600ft east of the nearest west side neighbors. Mr. Holloway has recently visited 3 other venue hosting barns, as asked by the Plan Commission, this by far is the nicest as well as most representative of a working barn. Slides illustrate 140 grass area parking spaces, on either side of the 19 ft wide gravel road off of (" Rooker Road, caterers etc can park in the rear of the barn, and there are 3 handicap parking spots near the barn. Staff will direct traffic during events. The
