They have identified a real need for some buildings on the property to house their equipment and materials and provide shelter to employees during the seasonal sales period (Christmas trees) in November and December of each year. Due to the type of business, there is a substantial amount of mature tree screening in place. Ms. Frolik continued that it is anticipated that a 2,016 square foot metal building would be constructed in 1997, and a 2,400 square foot log building will be constructed by the year 2002.
