Mr. Bucspun introduced Petitioner Max Coombs, who was present at the <br /> meeting, as his neighbor, and he spoke on his behalf. Mr. Bucspun corrected for the record that <br /> the total number of acres for both properties was only 80 acres, not 90 acres. He also pointed out <br /> that the Florida Statutes specifically mentions a bee apiary as an agricultural operation, and he <br /> highlighted some of the evidence that was presented during their hearing. He urged the Board to <br /> approve the Special Magistrate's recommended decision. Petitioner Bucspun responded to <br /> questions from the Board. <br /> MOTION WAS MADE by School Board Member <br /> Johnson, SECONDED by Citizen Member Spytek, to <br /> uphold the Special Magistrate's recommended decision <br /> granting an Agriculture Classification to the total number <br /> of acres to Petitions 2010-0094 and 2010-0097. <br /> Discussion ensued regarding the habits of bee colonies. <br /> THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the <br /> Motion carried, by a 4-0 vote (Vice Chairman Davis <br /> absent). <br /> 6.
