PRESENTATION BY THE APPLICANT:
Hussein Torbati, a board member of SunHive Collective, presented the project. His
wife, Pati, the owner of RELA, L.L.C., was also present.
'1. Mr. Brewer asked whether there are any plans for expansion in the future on the site.
Mr. Torbati responded that the program only works if they keep the members to a
limited number, because the members have specific needs. Unless they were to
buy additional land to expand, this is it.
2. Mr. McClure asked how many members they have. Mr. Torbati responded 30
maximum. He outlined the three phases they have planned, which will depend on
the finances: Phase 1 - finishing the building, finishing the barn and vegetable
garden, and the privacy fence around the area; Phase 2 - once there are 16
members, they will look at building an activity center, which will allow them to grow
to the maximum of 30 members; Phase 3 - addition of a caretaker residence.
3. Mr. Jablonski spoke in support of the project and commended the incorporation of
nature into the program.
