All my animals (except my chickens those we will probably be giving away and we will just purchase more) are moved down to western NY. My hubby's aunt was kind enough to take them in until we can find a place. My husband has found a job in Erie, PA making almost twice what he was making up here...

Oops, thanks, I fixed it.

In the news again here is the link if anyone is interested. Link to Article

Quote: Call me suspicous, but that statement right there should be a red flag. What do they know that you don't. I doubt that engineer wants that property just to look at it or to drop several grand for some animals. My gut would say something bigger is in the works, he knows about it and...

Quote: No, I'm giving up and moving to Amish country no one cares what you do there.

Quote: Yah I have looked over this before and there are two points against use. 1. we are not in an ag district even though our land borders one and 2. they could say that all of these hurdles are to ensure that the public's health and saftey are not threatened. (even though a stray dog is...

Quote: Yah I would, but if we don't use the same office we would probably have to have the survey redone. That would probably bring the total to beyond $10,000. Plus I use to work in a real estate office, if they want drainage plans and all the other maps they mentioned $10,000 sounds about...

Quote: Exactly. They seemed like they were working with you... but THEY knew what they were up to, $10000 costs... THEY knew all that and just sat back and waited for you to figure it out... helping small farmers my foot. Yah, but bringing a suite against the town would cost even more money...

Quote: We already had a face to face meeting with the town planning officer, we aren't in the city (the Town of Plattsburgh and the City of Plattsburgh are two completely different entities), all of this happened after we had already met with him and clearly stated what we were planning on...

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My hubby called the engineer/surveyor up to do the formal plans.... We are using the same ones that surveyed the property a few years back, because they already have the survey on file and it would reduce the cost. Hubby's conversation went well with the engineer and he said he...

Quote: Not sure it kind of looks like it might have been a state cop or state worker.

Quote: I just read this thread, but this is what everyone in our area does - a non-permanent structure, either on skids or cinder blocks, does not need a permit nor a variance, That’s what we decided to do, because it would be easier to raise the animals on pasture with movable little...

Well we got approved to submit a formal site plan, so now we need to find an engineer to draw one up... joy. So that's where we are until next month. The dragon lady showed up with her posse but she wasn't able to say anything. I am sure she will have plenty to say next month though.

2 hours until the meeting and this about sums up how I feel.

Quote: Where's out here? We are looking to move to Chautauqua County NY, if we move anywhere, it's Amish country, no one is going to give a hoot if another farm pops up in Amish country.

Quote: If it's only a year, why are you going through all the huff? I mean, I'd prolly still do it just to give a to the hateful bags but other than that... a lot of work, time, money and after all of that you'll only have a few months before you have to pack everything up (do you already...

That's about how I feel right now. We met with the Town Planning officer last night to go over what we need, which is A LOT. He pretty much said if we lived someplace else that this wouldn't be an issue, but because of the town regulations we need to go through the same process to start a little...

On a more upbeat note, we got a letter from the town with the transcripts from the meeting. They added at the end that after further review of our title search the town has ruled that the restrictions on the property are not applicable! Now we just have to get everything ready for the planning...

I have WHAT in my yard? : If you and the township all know that this woman is a serial abuser of ordinance. And, I have met those before, often the town can be convinced to do some skirt arounds when you "help" them realize what this person costs them. My mother was on the borough council...

OK soooooooooooooooooooooo the meeting didn't go bad, but it didn't go great either, it was pretty much left as a big to be continued.... AGAIN So pretty much the board attorney said that we really don't need a variance because this is for agricultural use and therefor need to go before the...
