The law could be interpreted to imply that you can put a farm anywhere you want but so technically you may be correct The courts are not implementing it that way, so it is just a technical point. The courts are consistently approaching their cases in the "inferential and speculative" manner I...

"What the Court said here was that the issue of whether or not the plaintiff had the right to extend the farm onto the new land was not raised or was not preserved on appeal. Therefor, the Court would not rule on it. " Agreed. My point is that the court was saying this can be an issue in the...

This sentence in your post is the one I am referring to: "Assuming that the plaintiffs' acquisition of additional land entitled them under the city's zoning ordinance [733 N.W.2d 398] to make agricultural use of the north parcel (a point on which we express no opinion)... The ruling is short...

"3. Troy vs Papadelis (2007 Michigan Supreme Court) Nice statement by court in ruling that implies if farm not legally created then their ruling doesn't apply. SAYS NOTHING EVEN RESEMBLING THAT " Uh...yes, they did. It is the statement starting with "Assuming".

Court rulings both before and after the amendment were listed. The courts interpretations were clear and consistent before and after the amendment if people actually take the time to READ the rulings, which almost nobody bothered to do. The Supreme Court also chimed in after the amendment went...

Wbanka and others, This may help clarify the issue. these articles and legal opinions, all saying the same thing I am saying, are all over the internet. http://web5.msue.msu.edu/lu/pamphlet/AgrHandBook/PlnZanimalAg30-Ch3.pdf The preemption of local zoning ordinances that conflict with the...

Your interpretation of RTFA would allow anyone to create a farm in an industrial zone...or a commercial zone... or anywhere they want After all, that is a very small step from your interpretation. That is just one reason why the courts have not, and probably never will, take your position...

In four months Noon made $14. Not $14 profit, FOURTEEN DOLLARS. No wonder the judge said he didn't qualify as commercial! http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/region/oakland_county/senior-citizen-fights-village-officials-over-chicken-coop He spent $3500 on the hen house AFTER he was told his...

The Ann Arbor Chicken Statute. EXTREMELY well thought out. Multiple protections from RTFA abuse built in. There is a reasonable timing out of permit (5 years). No structure within 10 feet of a property line. Must get all neighbors written permission if not siting at least 40 feet from any...

Quote: I will keep you posted via Private Message. Am getting ready to move on to other "stuff" as I believe I now fully understand the legal issues. Unless someone can come up with some sort of court case conflicting with the precedents I have posted, it appears the response of any court...

Quote: Thank goodness! Somebody gets it! Impressive analogy.

I have cases supporting my opinions, which are based on those cases. Our opinions are in direct contradiction. Do you have any cases supporting your opinions? Do you have ANY legal basis for supporting your opinion? I think the answer is probably no but I am asking. If not, why are you...

OK, we are playing poker and you guys just called by saying I was just voicing my opinion. I have shown my hand through court cases with clear wording. I wasn't bluffing. My opinions are actually the courts opinions. Anyone who can read pretty much has to agree at this point. My hand is...

"Neighbor, you can't have it both ways. If court cases set precedents, which you have made clear is the case, then when the courts decide to have their interpretation "bent" they are setting a precedence. If it is so clear cut, they should have followed previous precedence. It is pretty clear...

"So, just because people disagree with your opinion and the courts' means they're illiterate?" Some people aren't disagreeing with what the courts have said. They are indicating the courts didn't say it. Some people here are in a remarkable state of denial about what the courts have said...
