To me here is the issue: the people there did not like how he changed his business. To them noisier, dirtier, smelled more, it did not matter. Or just loud music, drug dealer moves into house next door. The exact details matter little it comes to being courteous to others. Yet there is never a way to please every body unless you want us to stop digging coal, drilling for oil, running pipelines, raising hogs, killing cows, ie. Would it have been nice had he talked with the neighbors and considered them first yes, was he obligate to, no. Then does Wal Mart or a convenience store talk with the adjoining land owners on their plans and if the neighbors were to say of the car traffic, we do not want it say okay we will build somewhere else? Not if land is zoned for what they want, they build. Same thing he did, What I do not understand is people who move into an area and never give a bit of thought what the area around them is zoned for. They never think anyone else will ever use the land for what it is zoned for. In that case they ignored what they should have checked on and thought on first. My two cents. We had trucking company with say 30 dump trucks move in oh 1/8 mile from us. They cranked up about 4:30 to 5 AM and oh the clanging of their tailgates each morning. Did we say anything to them? No, they were zoned for that. We knew how the land was zoned before we moved here knowing there was wide allowances in the zoning for our land was zoned the same way.
While some of you are telling how sorry the man with the hay baling operation is wrong think on what happens if you find a neighbor saying your tractor is too loud that diesel sound just upsets me and you run it past dark and all that has to stop. In some areas they are winning that war. Keep giving your rights away and then do not move into my area and do the same here...to many are doing that to us already. kt
