All ag land. Little resorts on ag land. <br />An amusing thought: Imagine what would happen if our entire farmlands become infected with some unknown plant disease, and we lost all our crops? Hey, at least we'd still have our precious little vacation rentals. That's right! More vacation rentals...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-22069623379429372009-08-15T19:12:00.062-10:002009-08-15T19:12:00.062-10:00"Trying to justify your illegal ag TVR?

It further directs the counties to establish ordinances for overseeing and enforcing activities on ag land, including “requirements and restrictions for accessory facilities connected with farming operations, including gift shops and restaurants; provided that overnight accommodations shall not be permitted.”Joan Conrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172330100788007499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-65886570749457304852009-08-15T13:15:18.322-10:002009-08-15T13:15:18.322-10:00"I’m no attorney, but it seems the process of..."I’m no attorney, but it seems the process of regulating such units could include saying they are not allowed at all unless they are associated with a farm use."<br /><br />I knew you weren't an attorney because a prohibition based on criteria that something must be "associated with farm use" is one giant loophole big enough to drive anything through.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
