From what I can see from the article, this is about private property rights and from the County’s side about ‘Special use permits’. In other words, taxes and fees on the usage of private property.
And then we have the people who just ‘love’ the country but don’t want people using their ‘country property’ to earn a living off of it.
Personal note:
There was a Lawyer who retired from the ‘big city’ and moved out to the country. He got all irate over the smell of cow manure and flies. So he tried to sue the local dairies out of business because they interfered with his ‘enjoyment of his personal property’.
He and his wife were told in very flowery language, that the dairies were here hundreds of years before him and that manure and flies were a part of that.
Of course the inevitable did happen, developers bought out tracks of Dairy farms that went up for auction to pay off the damn death taxes on estates and turned them into housing developments. Those new people voted in more restrictions and now there are no more dairies to offend them.
Strangely enough the price of Milk, Ice Cream and other dairy products increased drastically in the area. Unintended Consequences, I’m sure.
I always wanted the pitchfork and burning torch concessions at these gatherings. ;)
