(when she bought the 64-acre farm eight years ago, she agreed to an easement, which allows the Piedmont Environmental Council to visit the property to make sure no laws are being broken.}
Why in the world would you agree to something so stupid?
Because it was dirt cheap. The whole point of the easement is to limit how the land can be used, which lowers the value of the land, which means the buyer can get it cheap, but the buyer has to abide by the easement. And she hasn't.
This has been going on for a long time and she has already lost once in court. Plus, the county is on her for zoning infractions, such as no public bathrooms, inadequate parking, required permits needed to operate the business.
You could spend a couple of hours with a google search looking at the history of this dispute.
