I have some hippie friends.
They are running a holistic center. Their property was originally a farm. I don't know for sure, and I probably won't ask them, but i suspect that their zoning is residential/agricultural, not commercial.
I made mention of the need for doing the paperwork before they added a large structure to their property, and, like many treehuggers, they said, "Oh, it doesn't matter."
So they did let the township know, I think, that they were building a gazebo on their property. What they failed to tell the township was that the gazebo is a 1500 square foot electrified octagonal building, with a second building behind it with four bathrooms and showers. Neither building meets ADA code. They have smoke detectors, but no fire supression system (other than a nearby garden hose), which I believe is required for any public meeting space. Particularly a meeting space that often involves candles and the occasional outdoor bonfire.
I expect they will cry eco-green tears when their township finally notices and bulldozes the "gazebo" and bathhouse.
