There are so many mis-statements (to be polite) in what these complainers say that I don't know where to begin. I'm familiar with this property as I have friends in the area and we pass it on the way to the beach. I've been there often during the summer and even in the immediate area I detected no odors. Dogs bark when strangers pass (which is a good thing in such a remote area)but then they settle back down. None of the other neighbors have a problem. Sometimes there is a friendly old black dog loose in the yard, but the only dog I've seen running loose belongs to one of the complainers. The pot is calling the kettle black here. In the video notice the total silence until the vehicle (with a yappy dog in it) sets the dogs off-which is normal. Also this was taken right after the hurricane so of course there was debris in the yard. Neither the sheriff's dept nor the state found any problems (contrary to what the complainers said) and the animal warden stated that the dogs are well cared for, the property is clean and she can't fix the problem because there is no problem. I would suggest that the commissioners go to any house on Hollis Rd and ask if the residents have a complaint. They will NOT.
