Approved 12/12/16 <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 10/10/16 Page 76 of 113 <br /> <br /> <br /> 1 <br />Barry Katz: And what kind of equipment did you have to do all of that? 2 <br /> 3 <br />Chris Brewer: So we actually work at PFab, which is the Orange County commercial kitchen. And we rent 4 <br />so about every 3 days. 5 <br /> 6 <br />Barry Katz: Ok, I understand now. And in the future, do you plan on using that facility or having your own 7 <br />facility? 8 <br /> 9 <br />Chris Brewer: That’s what the barn is. That’s what we want to transition it to that. Obviously the barn’s not 10 <br />built right now so at some point that will transition to the barn. But right now we’re at PFab and that’s the 11 <br />kitchen we’re using. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Barry Katz: And I believe that your expert witness was implying that there was a fair amount of expense 14 <br />involved in having equipment to process these chestnuts? 15 <br /> 16 <br />Chris Brewer: He might have. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Barry Katz: What I wanted to know was this: Is this equipment stationary and permanent? Do you lock it in 19 <br />where it is, or do you not? 20 <br /> 21 <br />Chris Brewer: Well the equipment that’s at PFab now is stationary. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Barry Katz: At your barn? 24 <br /> 25 <br />Chris Brewer: So putting in the chestnuts- that equipment will be mobile. You could move it. What we have 26 <br />is an idea that would be a mobile piece of equipment. 27 <br /> 28 <br />Barry Katz: Ok. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Karen Barrows: And can I ask; when you said you had $50,000 invested, is this just at the Morrow Mill site? 31 <br /> 32 <br />Chris Brewer: Morrow Mill and the property in Caswell. And we have plans for up to 1,300 trees total. 33 <br /> 34 <br />Karen Barrows: LeAnne do you have anything? 35 <br /> 36 <br />LeAnne Brown: I do. I wanted to follow up on the question that you just asked on the $50,000 to be sure I 37 <br />understand. Of that $50,000 how much of that is invested in the chestnut operation at Morrow Mill? 38 <br /> 39 <br />Chris Brewer: Let’s see. If I had to guess I would say $5000-$7000. 40 <br /> 41 <br />LeAnne Brown: So 5-7 is at Morrow Mill and the other $43,000-$45,000 is on the property at Caswell 42 <br />County? 43 <br /> 44 <br />Chris Brewer: That’s correct. 45 <br /> 46 <br />LeAnne Brown: And you indicated that you plan 1,300 trees total. How many of those do you plan at 47 <br />Morrow Mill? 48 <br /> 49
