kristie, did you notice when you are moving into this neighborhood into your home? so, i knew there were two of the jack daniel s barrel houses. these pair barrel houses are 86,000 square feet. they hold 66,000 gallons of barrels of whisky. imagine that by your home, in the plan and what they re trying to push through, is an additional 20 more. we already have seven, so 20 altogether. can you imagine what we have now, as you can see, this is not just my property, we have generations of farmers, our area is agriculture. there are so many farmers out there, and people of thousands of acres of land, that are being taken over by this black fungus. so, these pictures, patrick, that you ve sent us, everything that we ve seen, in other words, it looks black or gray on the mailbox, on the swing set. that s fungus, basically? it is.
that shot there is are born, it s about 100 yards from one of the closest barrel houses. the reason we did the lawsuit was because the county had sort of made a deal with jack daniel s to allow them to waive all zoning and planning permitting. one day, they do started building new barrel houses. we had no idea that they were going to be 20 within a half mile of our location. so, we re asking for a ruffle tracing to be installed, using common systems that are well known in the industry. to prevent it. that sounds reasonable, let me bring in your attorney, let me read to you jack daniel s statement on the whiskey fondness. they say, quote, the company complies with a local state, and federal regulations regarding design, construction in permitting of our barrel houses. we are committed to protecting the environment and the safety and health of our employees and neighbors. your response? that s just not accurate. and we now have a court ruling that determined that it was not accurate.
