We live in the country and have a farm. When we made the greenhouse, we utilized a building that had been our breeding/gestation building for our sow herd. We finished off half of the 30x120 building that is now my greenhouse. No problem since it was a building we already had, and we were way far enough off of the county road that it wasn't a problem. WRONG...................some imbecile reported us to zoning and we had to go before the county zoning board.........this was AFTER it was completed and I already had plants in it. Letters had to be sent to all the landowners that had land/property adjoining ours, allowing them to appear before the board when we did to voice their complaints. Oh, yeah, you can believe that EVERYONE was going to bitch about going from a bunch of stinkin', noisy pigs to a greenhouse full of pretty, scented plants. Bottom line was that zoning only wanted our $400.00 for the hearing. Oh, and we were, in their words, "using the building for a purpose that wasn't the ORIGINAL intent". Never mind the fact that the building was built and there were no hearings or permits needed for THAT when we constructed it for hogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And we think that the snitch was someone that was just jealous.
