To: a little elbow grease

They should counter sue the town for attorney fees and stress. This isn’t anything but harassment.

Paraphrased from the PPG (Pittsburgh Post Gazette)

1. According to the borough’s website, Theresa and Scott Fetterolf, own Dundee Farm and Fields LLC ………

It is an 83-year-old farm located at 528 Scaife Road, and is located in an Historical-Rural Residential District

2. Katie Stringent, borough manager and zoning officer, said the farm was being used improperly as a place of worship, a place of assembly, and as a commercial venue and “special studio or school.” According to the borough’s website, those activities are not permitted on the property, or only permitted as a conditional use.

3. Mrs. Fetterolf and her husband, a local home builder, purchased the 32-acre farm about two years ago and began providing commercial activities, including a yarn and wool shop, sales of cut flowers and fresh honey, a weekly produce stand, educational classes, and other programs. Mrs. Fetterolf has also hosted private events, including bridal showers, prayer groups and church fundraisers. In October 2017, Mrs. Fetterolf was informed by the borough that she was holding too many events and would need permits — costing $500 each— to continue offering many of the activities.

4. Mrs. Fetterolf has said she intends to stand up for her rights as a farmer. “I don't seek to sue my borough and cause taxes to go up, I'm just trying to live my life,” she said, noting that the amount of farming she currently performs is minuscule compared to other farms. “There could be a lot more smells and a lot more traffic.”

******

Ms. Fetterolf dropped a little "stink bomb" to the local officials there at the end of her remarks.

lol
