To whom it may concern,
Response to "Courtesy Violation Notice" received May 26, 2015 at the above address.
We would ask that you please do not tape any more of these notices on our property. Get a warrant before coming on the property. It is clear by the pettiness, immaturity, and nit picking of the grievances that this is government harassment and not a letter of proper accusations of crimes committed by a citizen. To use the government power and position to harass private citizens is an abuse of power and is against the law.
If you would like to charge us with a crime, please state the name of the crime, what specific law, with its corresponding code or number, that we are breaking. We are very honest, law abiding citizens and we expect the township to be law abiding citizens as well.
Courtesy Violation Notice complaint:
Miami Township is guilty of surveillance of a private citizen without cause, invading our privacy and trespassing. Only Homeland security can put someone under surveillance without proof of cause.
I will now address each accused "violation", as listed on notification:
10.) There is no law that states a gas cannot be on the lawn or driveway when in use. The law must give at least 30 days, (reasonable time frame), to put the can away in a proper location. One leaving their gas can out a couple days is not a crime. In our case they were empty and we had them there to remember to take them with us the next time we went to the gas station. I'm sure there have also been other times the cans have been accidentally left out, this is not in violation of any law or even courtesy. The government is not the parent or guardian of private citizens and cannot tell them to bring in their gas cans when forgotten. The government is way out of it's proper function and role to the citizens of Miami Township in this "Courtesy Violation Notice." What is even more shady is that there was not one single gas can outside the day the notice was tapped to our door. In fact, it had been several days since the gas cans were filled and put away. How can you site someone for something that is not actually happening. This leads us to rightly believe you are either stalking our property and/or relying on a vigilante neighbor's made up complaints.
I do expect more professionalism out of the township.
Direct your communications to us in a legal, respectful and lawful manor- treating us as equals and not subjects, beneath you, slaves or children.
1.) The Greenhouse is free standing, movable and not a part of the house- although it looks like it. It can easily be lifted to another location.
7.) All trailers have current tags and license plates.
2.) All structures are portable and can easily move to another location. We have no storage trailers. We have a horse/cattle trailer with tags. How can you ask someone to get a permit for a 'storage trailer' as if it were a building and then demand they have current road tags? Your complaints are counter intuitive, purposefully confusing, and most unbecoming of a professional organization.
The legal issue here is: Do people have the right to eat "healthy" food. The obvious answer is most definitely, yes.
All foods at the grocery store are produced with chemicals even the organics. All animals are subjected to the most inhuman treatment and also subject to hormones and antibiotics.
We have committed no crime in protecting our food source. The county protects the water resources but no one is protecting our food resources. Private citizens must do this themselves. The township cannot interfere with my right to protect what I eat. All people are to be treated equally. Individuals have more rights than businesses. The Federal, state, county, township or city government must first punish those who pollute and poison the food they grow and sell to consumers which makes the food unfit for human or animal consumption. You cannot fault or accuse a private citizen of the crime of protecting themselves and using wisdom and discernment when in danger. We see the danger and we are protecting ourselves. On a mass scale via the internet we are teaching others, (which is the government's lawful reason for existence), to protect themselves by producing chemical free food, even meat products for themselves.
The people cannot trust the government to protect and teach the citizens how to protect themselves even though that is it's reason for existence. We have the right, responsibility, and duty to ourselves, families and neighbors, to do everything for ourselves. The township cannot force us to ask others to do things for us when we are quite capable of doing them for ourselves. In this case, produce our own food. I don't need others to feed me like I was a child. The government is working for those who would bring us into slavery to their products and have a monopoly on the food sources, forcing Americans to become sick from all the chemicals engrossed in all the foods.
Our neighbors may call and complain a lot but they are not acting out of a sound mind and state of being informed. The complainants are acting out of an old fashioned state of simply trusting big companies. Trust the supermarket, trust the big corporations, trust the big corporate owned farms and livestock producers. This is a very immature, irresponsible, unwise and naive way of thinking. Our neighbors need to come into the 21st Century. People in America are switching to homegrown food because Americans are tired of dying of cancers caused by the chemicals is the modern corporate owned food system.
It's no longer the days of unions and corporate big shots. Today is the day of the Individual rising up and taking responsibility for himself. Where does the food you eat come from? Who is teaching the children? What in the world are they teaching? People will no longer tolerate Businesses, Corporations, or governments treating them like mere subjects, peasants or ignorant children. We all receive the same info at a touch of a button. The internet.
Ohio Revised Code 711.131 which is one of the contingencies of Ohio Revised Code 519.21. In section "B" of ORC 519.21 the township seems to be trying to interpret the following without actually looking up what ORC 711.131 is; this of course is a gross error on the township's part.
Ohio Revised Code 519.21 Powers not conferred on township zoning commission by chapter.
(A) Except as otherwise provided in division (B) of this section, sections 519.02 to 519.25 of the Revised Code confer no power on any township zoning commission, board of township trustees, or board of zoning appeals to prohibit the use of any land for agricultural purposes or the construction or use of buildings or structures incident to the use for agricultural purposes of the land on which such buildings or structures are located, including buildings or structures that are used primarily for vinting and selling wine and that are located on land any part of which is used for viticulture, and no zoning certificate shall be required for any such building or structure.
B) A township zoning resolution, or an amendment to such resolution, may in any platted subdivision approved under section 711.05, 711.09, or 711.10 of the Revised Code, or in any area consisting of fifteen or more lots approved under section 711.131 of the Revised Code that are contiguous to one another, or some of which are contiguous to one another and adjacent to one side of a dedicated public road, and the balance of which are contiguous to one another and adjacent to the opposite side of the same dedicated public road regulate:
Please note in section "B" of ORC 519.21 where it says "in any area consisting of fifteen or more lots approved under section 711.131 of the Revised Code" The property in question, 5499 Wolfpen-Pleasant Hill Rd. is not, nor has it ever been approved under 711.131. ORC 711.131, as listed below is an approval without a plat, we are in fact, a plat. Section "B" of ORC 519.21 is simply to describe subdivisions, platted, or without a plat.
711.131 Approval without plat.
(A) Notwithstanding sections 711.001 to 711.13 of the Revised Code and except as provided in division (C) of this section, unless the rules adopted under section 711.05, 711.09, or 711.10 of the Revised Code are amended pursuant to division (B) of this section, a proposed division of a parcel of land along an existing public street, not involving the opening, widening, or extension of any street or road, and involving no more than five lots after the original tract has been completely subdivided, may be submitted to the planning authority having approving jurisdiction of plats under section 711.05,711.09, or 711.10 of the Revised Code for approval without plat. If the authority acting through a properly designated representative finds that a proposed division is not contrary to applicable platting, subdividing, zoning, health, sanitary, or access management regulations , regulations adopted under division (B)(3) of section 307.37 of the Revised Code regarding existing surface or subsurface drainage, or household sewage treatment rules adopted under section 3718.02 of the Revised Code, it shall approve the proposed division within seven business days after its submission and, on presentation of a conveyance of the parcel, shall stamp the conveyance "approved by (planning authority); no plat required" and have it signed by its clerk, secretary, or other official as may be designated by it. The planning authority may require the submission of a sketch and other information that is pertinent to its determination under this division.
(B) For a period of up to two years after the effective date of this amendment, the rules adopted under section 711.05, 711.09, or 711.10 of the Revised Code may be amended within that period to authorize the planning authority involved to approve proposed divisions of parcels of land without plat under this division. If an authority so amends its rules, it may approve no more than five lots without a plat from an original tract as that original tract exists on the effective date of the amendment to the rules. The authority shall make the findings and approve a proposed division in the time and manner specified in division (A) of this section.
(D) As used in this section, "business day" means a day of the week excluding Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday as defined in section 1.14 of the Revised Code.

The Individual Private Citizens
God given religious freedoms they are required by law to uphold.
All rights are given to us by God. God blesses our land, he blesses our animals, he blesses our food, and our children. Government might not be religious but it's responsibility is to protect me, my property, and my religious freedom. I need animals, "livestock" for God to bless them.
The reason for Government, the township, according to "John Locke", (all America's foundational laws are based on his teachings, Nature and nature's God, Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,etc.) is to protect each persons land, property, animals, crops from those who would kill, steal or destroy any of their property. Governments are not created to be the ones who kill, steal and destroy my livestock, property, crop, etc.
(13) The fourth argument, taken from the profit of so doing: for by this means also we provide for our good name and estimation, while we compel them at length to change their minds, who speak evil of us.
(14) The fifth argument, which is also of great force: because the glory of God is greatly set forth by that means, by example of our honest life, then the most corrupt men are brought to God, and submit themselves to him.
(b) When God shall have mercy on them.
pe1 2:13
(15) That which he spoke generally, he now expounds in detail, describing individually every man's duty. First, he speaks of the obedience that is due both to the laws, and also to the magistrates both higher and lower.
(c) By ordinance, is meant the inventing and ordering of civil government, which he calls ordinance of man, not because man invented it, but because it is proper for men.
(16) The first argument: because the Lord is the author and avenger of this policy of men, that is, which is set among men: and therefore the true servants of the Lord must above all others be diligent observers of this order.
(17) He prevents a frivolous objection which is made by some, who say they will obey kings and the higher magistrates, and yet condemn their ministers, as though their ministers were not armed with the authority of those who sent them.
pe1 2:14
(18) The second argument taken from the end of this order, which is not only most profitable, but also very necessary: seeing that by that this means virtue is rewarded, and vice punished, in which the peacefulness and happiness if this life consists.
pe1 2:15
(19) He declares the first argument more amply, showing that Christian liberty does among all things least or not at all consist in this, that is, to cast off the bridle of laws (as at that time some altogether unskilful in the kingdom of God reported) but rather in this, that living holy lives according to the will of God, we should reveal to all men, that the gospel is not a cloak for sin and wickedness, seeing we are free of this sort, that yet we are still the servants of God, and not of sin.

Deuteronomy 28 New International Version (NIV)
Blessings for Obedience
28 If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God:
3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
The reason for Government, the township, according to "John Locke", (all America's foundational laws are based on his teachings, Nature and nature's God, Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,etc.) is to protect each persons land, property, animals, crops from those who would kill, steal or destroy any of their property. Governments are not created to be the ones who kill, steal and destroy my livestock, property, crop, etc.
God says through Peter the reason for government is to punish evil deeds, evil doers and reward people who live holy, pure, wholesome lives. Who's acts and deeds are good according to God's interpretation out of his word, also listed below:
1 Peter 2:13-151599 Geneva Bible (GNV)
13 [a] Therefore submit yourselves unto [b]all manner ordinance of man [c]for the Lord’s sake, [d]whether it be unto the King, as unto the superior,
14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent of him, [e]for the punishment of evil doers, and for the praise of them that do well.
15 [f]For so is the will of God, that by well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men.
16 Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants[a] of God.
17 Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.
