Thave just returned from Paris, Virginia near the Ashby Inn at the intersection of Route 50, State Route 701 and Route 17 where there is a property on which there are some animals that are being kept in bad conditions, and at least one of them needs medical care. I believe the street address for this property is 1037 Gap Run Road, Paris, Virginia 20130. It is tax map 6034-98-2331- 000. The property is owned by Martha Malawer. [ have never observed any human being attending the animals on this property. I will send by email some photographs I took this morning of a small pony whose hooves have grown out about 8 inches and the animal is in pain and can hardly walk. There is also an Emu, which is without shelter or proper food for this type of bird. T have occasionally fed the birds some cracked com, and I believe the man who rents the pasture for his cattle has recently placed a round bale of hay because the animals never have any food. There are 3 Hama or alpaca, one Emu, two miniature donkeys, and this small pony. I urgently request your help in having at least the small pony seized and taken in for work by a blacksmith, The pony was wearing a halter which was so tight it ‘was shaping the bones on his head, and that has been changed after I observed that a couple of weeks ago. These animals have been at this property for a couple of years now without proper shelter or food. There aever seems to be anyone om the property. For a Jong time there were pigs trapped in a downstairs stall under the old dairy barn and this was witnessed by my construction crew who also fed the animals on and off when they were at our property across the street.Thave been told that the woman that owns the property, Martha Malawer, has not been responsive to requests by neighbors to take care of the animals or get rid of them. 1 have heard that she is supposed to be running some sort of animal rescue operation. ‘That isa joke. Twill help the Fauquier County Animal Control with the prosecution of this case by signing any affidavits, meeting the inspector there, providing other witnesses, and { will pay for the blacksmith that this poor pony needs desperately. I repeat. the animal's feet are causing him pain and he can barely walk Please have someone call me immediately so that I can meet your inspector there. Yours sincerely, Patricia D.

Schwartz Marshall District, Supervisor c/o Fauquier County Board of Supervisors Warren Green Building 10 Hotel Street, Suite 208 Warrenton, Virginia 20186 Dear Mr. Schwartz, ‘Thank you for your conversational and continued efforts addressing developing issues affecting the quality of residency in Fauquier County. As we discussed on Wednesday, May 23, 2012, circumstances directly associated with the Boneta’s involving intensity of lighting, noise, nuisance levels with barking dogs, disruptive and devaluation of property are of primary concern. As you noted, we did complain about the introduction of students being housed in the Boneta’s residence and farm facilities which resulted in enforcement action by the Zoning Board which has influenced diminished activity by Mrs. Boneta for the present time. We take note that an appeal has been filed and as you indicated, there is a possibility that the results of the appeal may be in her favor which is a circumstance of events that you have no control over. Of absolute concern, is the possibility of some form of retaliation orchestrated by the Boneta’s to intimidate, harass or to demonstrate that she has the ability to circumvent the authorities with perceived immunity. Her perception appears to be that the Fauquier County obstacles are essentially a minor irritant. Since Mrs. Bonete’s arrival in Paris, Fauquier County, there appears to be a continuous mark of aggressive, confrontational and disruptive behavior, which directly affects the community’s standard and quality of life. It is our belief that the ordinances require serious attention and adjustment to effectively control those who ignore the basic courtesies of social intercourse. Those responsible for enforcing the zoning ordinances are hampered by what appears to be weak and outdated applications in today’s environment, as is evidenced by Mrs. Boneta’s behavior.It is both an exhausting and debilitating exercise to continuously be required to contact and explain on a repetitive basis, repetitive issues associated with one individual’s contentious behavior and attitude toward society and a regulatory component.

Fisher From: Russell L. Rabb, Ill Subject: Meeting with John Miller and Phillip Thomas In April of 2013, I was instructed to follow-up with John Miller and Phillip ‘Thomas regarding a complaint about Marsha Boneta, I met with them that month and they expressed their concerns about Ms. Boneta which involved the possibility of a threat. This was non-specific in that they believed she might recruit someone to do them harm and as such I was unable to determine if there had been a criminal violation. Shortly after the meeting I sent Mr. Miller ‘and Mr. Thomas a letter detailing my review of the matter and my conclusion that there was not sufficient evidence to proceed forward with criminal charges. Contemporaneously, I sent a letter to Lieutenant James Hartman of the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office regarding this meeting. { provided him with any and all documents that I received from Mr. Miller and Mr. Thomas ‘At this time, I do not have any independent recollection of what these documents contained other than that all such documents were sent to the Sheriff's Office. This matter never came to this office as a formal investigation, but more so as an informal complaint. As such, a file was never officially opened. Further,November 2, 2015 Page 2 of 2 this office is not an investigating agency which is one reason I referred Mr. Miller and Mr. Thomas to the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office should they feel an investigation was warranted. I do not recall if there was any contact after the letter was sent. One of them may have called at some point to thank me for taking the time to meet with them. My only contact with Lieutenant Hartman about this matter, other than the letter, was a phone call by me to him in which | informed him that I would not be taking any action and would be forwarding the matter to him. Our office did not keep a file copy of my letter declining action, so the only record we had (and which was later produced per FOIA) was an electronic copy of the letter which, when produced for FOIA production, included an incorrect date. The printed copy of that letter erroneously resulted in a date approximately a year later via the automatic data macro built into the word processing program.McCull ———— ee Sherwood, Ronda From: Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2012 12:51 PM To: Schwartz,Peter Subject: [ArcMail Restored!

There should also be information from the Liberty Hall Livestock Rescue website, and Paris Bars website evidencing her “agritourism" efforts. That is a commercial activity. Ifthe students mentioned the organization that sponsored or sent them, then that was arranged for valuable consideration or for the exchange of something valuable, so that should be explored. (ie. school credit for work, or work as @ donation) They were not there as free guests. They arrived in airport vans, and were part of an organized effort. They were expected to do certain chores, and one neighbor overhead the kids’ dissatisfaction verbalized. Surely the deputies have a record of their interviews. If their labor was considered a donation, then that is valuable consideration unto Malawer’s charity, the 501¢3 organization, named Liberty Hall Livestock Rescue which is operating at the barn premises. If one reads her BZA appeal by her attorney, Michelle Rosati, one can see that she is ready to spin it, same as during the PEC suit to enforce the covenants. Itis also apparent that she has closed up her operations at the Barn in advance of the upcoming hearing in the same fashion as during the prior judicial hearing, The property continues to look unkept, and the bam facade bears no relation to an 18th century structure anymore. The fencing is built from scrap and the lighting and signs are not within the law, nor the private covenants. Please urge a PEC rep to attend the BZA hearing, Sincerely, Phillip S.

Holder Trumbo, Jr. Scott District Supervisor Mr. Chuck A. Floyd, Assistant Chief Zoning/Development Services Re; Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to Sections 3-318, 6-102 and 15-300 Related to Sales of Agricultural Products and Agricultural Events Dear Holder and Mr. Floyd: Even a cursory review of the proposed text amendment regarding the sale of agriculture products and value- added agricultural products reveals loopholes which can cause unintended results. For example, if landowner is allowed by-right to sell value-added agricultural products made from items grown in Virginia from the property, whether such items are made on or off the property, you have essentially morphed a farm into a sales center, By way of example, as the landowner, I could obtain peanut butter and jellies from other farms or producers provided I could trace those products to peanuts and fruit grown in Virginia, and 1 could utilize my land, without farming at all, as a sales center for such products, At the same time, I could invite the public in large numbers to take part in hayrides, meetings, and events, with no restrictions on numbers thereby turning my property into space for hire, all the while not being required to farm or produce anything on that property 80 long ‘as I labeled it a “farm” and myself a “farmer”, Conducting those types of activities without getting my hands dirty is tantamount to redefining a farm and farmer. [ am certain that is not what was intended by this ordinance, but this is one simple illustration of what could occur lawfully after this ordinance is in place Here's an example for you: if wanted to sell and serve ham sandwiches and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Lwill be able to do that provided T use Virginia ham on bread that { can prove was made in Virginia, (whether on a farm or not), and using peanuts and jelly traceable to Virginia, and [can do that without limitation. 1 will build lunch counter displaying an educational video of sheep-shearing techniques, and then essentially I have created a lawful eating establishment on my “farm”, Also, sandwich making is not food processing and would falloutside of reach of that layer of regulation. So one can essentially establish a restaurant on an agricultural tract. Using your imagination, you can come up with other scenarios utilizing the parameters of the ordinance. The limits which are placed on the by-right activities are going to be unpoliceable and will require greater expense by County personnel to audit these types of activities. It will require accounting details to establish the percentage of sales from the property, and to trace whether the products are actually grown on the property or in Virginia and whether the “50%” limits are met. Most farmers selling vegetables deal in cash and without receipts from their farm stands, and farmers to farmers generally deal the same way, and without those kinds of records. ‘The fact that there is practically no limit on the scope of agricultural events could potentially result in farms becoming host sites for events under the guise of the authorizations provided by this new ordinance. The terms “processing”,” meetings”, “farm tours”, “farm-related”, and indeed, “farm” itself, will need to be defined which will be an impossible task and will create contention! certainly between legislators and farm operators. I propose that the Special Exception/Special Permit is the correct process to allow the County to deal with the expansion of permissible farm related activities. envision unanticipated consequences as a result of what is contained in the expansion of the by-right definition Selling caps, bags, T-shirts, having meetings, tours and the inclusion of the word “event” with seemingly no limitation on number and scope, is not advisable, nor beneficial to true farming, I Timothy 1:9, Law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious... The tru Fauquier County farmer who wants to sell his produce has little problem operating in the current Fauquier County framework, but the landowner who wishes to strain this ordinance to unimaginable ends will be easily able to accomplish that because of the vagueness of the new ordinance.

Granger chris. granger‘a fauquiercounty .20v Re. Farm Winery Ordinance, draft June 14 Board of Supervisors hearing Gentlemen: I am concemed about the content and latitude of the proposed farm winery ordinance presently under consideration. Thave heard the refrain that because the process has taken so long that the Board of Supervisors feels compelled to adopt “something”. I have also heard the cry that if the Board of Supervisors doesn’t give the wineries “something”, that the County of Fauquier will be sued. These are not legitimate reasons to sponsor. promote. or adopt a law. I know that the group of which I'm a member, Virginians for Responsible Wine Promotion, as well as the Zoning Administrator, have reviewed and can discuss with you other counties” farm winery regulations. For example. when Rappahannock adopted its regulations for farm wineries. it construed and then followed the Code of Virginia parameters narrowly. It stands. So Rappahannock did so without fear of being sued by the Attorney General or those who represent the powerful wine lobby, Now, you say, well Fauquier has more farm wineries. I say, it should make no difference to the County officials what size weapon a lobby is wielding. Famous wine territories have many more farm wineries and wineries. I have visited wineries in California, Italy, France, Germany, and Argentina. None had ancillary uses like recreational features, tot lots, portable tents, contests, music, or loud speakers, nor allowed dogs. My recollection isthe facilities were fairly quiet places that were seriously selling wine and wine only. Lawmakers are responsible to the citizens, taxpayers, and landowners. This Board of Supervisors should have absolute confidence in the propriety, advisability, and future possible effects of an ordinance before it adopts one. Can you assure the citizens this is the right ordinance? For example, { wonder that you propose to limit at all the number of events a farm winery can have. Why is 61 the number? If there are no deleterious effects, why limit the events at all? If something is “good”, why not have more of it? You are contradicting yourselves: proposing limits is tantamount to admitting that there might be a problem with having multiple, simultaneous events for hundreds of people, frequently, by dozens of farm wineries in rural settings.Zoning should follow an orderly development pattern. If commercial events at wineries are something you feel benefits the county, then you should create an Agricultural-Farm Product zoning category that would allow those type of commercial ventures in appropriate areas, such as where other commercial but agricultural-oriented endeavors are being conducted, such as farm stores, farmer's markets, livestock markets, feed stores, and those kinds of things. That way the grape grower, beef producer, horse breeder and corn farmer will all be treated similarly. Why do grapes and wine get special treatment? Because its lobby has threatened to hammer Fauquier County? Under the current version of this ordinance, once all the events and permitted uses for farm wineries are tallied up under the current schedule, itis very easy to see that the ordinance goes too far because this ordinance will insinuate commercial uses at an inappropriate level smack dab in the middle of agriculturally zoned areas. Some of these areas have important overlay historic districts (districts which the Board of Supervisors created and routinely cites as reasons to limit certain activities or property uses!). And some areas have large collections of private conservation easements, which to me, indicates a citizenry that worked hard for decades to produce a climate of preservation, quietude and open space-the very beautiful landscapes that draw the winery Operators, This ordinance has the potential of allowing wineries with disruptive events to wreck this forever. A proliferation of farm wineries and expansion by-right of those of certain non- farming type operations like “events” will ruin the landscape and impact property values. How does the Board of Supervisors justify its shoehorning of this pseudo commercial spot zoning into agricultural areas, areas already defined and set by the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance? We could spend a great deal of time discerning the good farm wineries from the bad apples. but the old adage, one bad apple spoils the lot, is so true. It is prudent to judge any new ordinance by its worst-case scenario result. T am not against farm wineries. I am against the type of loud, crowded, low-end, self-serving operations that some farm wineries have become and which this ordinance will allow to proliferate. [attach photographs to this letter in case the phenomenon has escaped your attention. Picture that The proposed new ordinance does not take into account that we have a hybrid and varied collection of farm wineries in this county. A few have a benign or no effect on their neighbors and some have a terrible effect on the neighbors. “The negative repercussions of the bad-apple wineries are irreversible. The Zoning Administra office has the current complaint files which VRWP reviewed. The negative effects of commercial luses and events at a farm winery can be viewed and experienced presently out there. Fauquier County does not have the enforcement capability or staff to deal with the bad apple resultsinevitable from this proposed new ordinance. The citizens cannot get from you a satisfaction warranty with this new ordinance, so please start with less, not more. Allow time to verify that the industry can police itself, be good neighbors, and build a positive track record in practice and at the Zoning Administrator's office. ‘The ordinance needs to go back into the shop for further discussions and collection of data from the Sheriff's Department, the Zoning Administrator's existing files, VDOT, Building and Development reference Code issues for winery structures, and the Health Department for sewage and water supply issues. Refer to these photos and imagine this as your nearest neighbor, operating legally, every weekend. every week, all day long, Is that a good thing for any of us or for Fauquier County to be proud of?

Schwartz Supervisor, Marshall District, Fauquier County P.O. Box 159 Delaplane, Virginia 20144 Re: Greater setbacks needed in Farm Winery Ordinance Dear Peter: I feel it is absolutely imperative to increase the required setbacks from any property line for the conduct of farm winery uses or the placement of farm winery structures, meaning any building or area where the public will gather, including parking lots. The proposed ordinance states 100-feet which, in the scheme of things, is a very short distance when confronted with issues such as dust, noise, car alarms, slamming car doors, loud voices, shouts, car radios, back and forth traffic, lighting, including headlights, and exhaust fiom idling limos and buses. A minimum of 300-feet should be # required as a setback for farm winery uses and activities from any property line and hopefully more where there is an existing residence on adjoining property unless that existing residence owner specifically waives in writing a lesser setback, Fauquier County is full of historical older buildings and typically these buildings were built near the roads during the horse and buggy days. With the advent of cars, the disturbances coming from the public road increased. The typical example is my Liberty Hall at Paris, which dates to 1790 and the barn across the street is already less than 100- feet fiom the property line. The same phenomenon occurs, for example, for Piedmont Vineyards which has an eighteenth-century house and barn near the front of the property. This exists in real estate footprints all over Fauquier—improvements are typically not constructed smack-dab in the middle of large acreage where their existence would be more insulated, but rather improvements are pulled up near the public road. This proximity becomes a problem when one neighbor starts a farm winery use because that activity de facto is a more intensive use and is disruptive to residential use,A strong and meaningful setback is an important component of the ordinance because it will also mitigate issues such as lighting and noise which are issues which a stronger setback would ameliorate. L enclose a sketch of the Malawer-Boneta property to compare with my Liberty Hall directly across from her barn. Unfortunately, my PEC conservation easement does not mention setbacks and the County imposed setbacks are woefully inadequate to deal with adjoining landowners’ protection from farm winery disturbances. Namely, it does not protect the neighbors’ investment and well being of a late 18" Century stone residence such as mine. We need to protect these properties so that caring owners can have quiet enjoyment of their historical homes. I am confident that you understand and realize what a travesty it would be to set a precedent that allows a carnival-like and tacky atmosphere immediately adjacent to such a treasured property. Please beef up the setback to at least 300-feet where there is a residential use that pre-dates a farm winery use.

Martha told her “It was a petition in support of local farming and agriculture in Fauquier County” Jenny said that soon after it just didn't sit well with her. So she went to the neighbors and learned about Martha’s jawsuits, hearings, etc. Jenny went to Martha’s house and knocked and the door and called out. No one came to the door. She then saw Martha’s husband, who was in his car. He looked and her and drove off as if he didn’t want to get involved or engage with Jenny. Jenny then went to Fauquier County and retracted her affidavit. She said that she felt that Martha had misrepresented herself. She felt lied to and mislead and Jenny didn’t support her. She asked to negate her signature. Jenny said it would be filed and at the hearing on Thursday. Jenny said she heard that the following Did Not and/or Would Not sign: «= John & Lucy Miller + John 8 Roma Sherman + Paul & Kristine Carr = Talbot & Walta Warren And they had named a few others that didn't sign or that they knew that Martha wouldn't even approach do to past issues with her.

She said that based on Jenny’s letter, if she were on the Board of Supervisors she would negate the entire petition, if in fact, Martha goes through with it. The Carr's said that Martha was seen on Republican Street with a Basket of fruits and vegetables. The Carr’s were trying to warn others on Republican Street about the scam. She said both she and (Talbot) Toby are unable to attend the hearing but both have sent written letters to the Board. She said there are two appeal meetings: 625 Federal Street and the other about the Barn. She wrote about the Citation at 625 Federal Street - running a Boarding House. She said that she saw college kids that were completely distraught in front of The Asbhy Inn with what was assumed their belongings in garbage bags.

Schwartz, P.O. Box 159 Delaplane. Virginia 20144 Re: Martha Malawer/PIN 6034-98-233 | Dear Peter: Shortly before Martha Malawer settled the case against her brought by Piedmont Environmental Council (September 2, 2011), she filed the enclosed in the land records on May 17, 2011. This is another of her businesses utilizing the barn. There is a significant amount of activity with the public coming and going, sometimes by the vanload, at her property. She states on this Certificate that she is conducting the business of “farmstore” in addition to the other things she lists. Is she permitted to have a farmstore without permits? And if so, is there a requirement that the items sold be produced on the property, because to my knowledge, nothing is actually being grown there. There are two layers of “regulations” that govern her property, the first set imposed by the Deed of Conservation Easement/PEC/VOF, and the second by County zoning. She claims to have a S0LC3 organization operating there, “Liberty Hall Livestock Rescue, Ine.”, taking in about $63,000 a year in donations! as well as whatever she does with “Piedmont Agriculture Academy, LLC”, and now “Paris Barns”, which is an entity that pops up an internet search as an agritourism destination. Will you please look into this at the County level regarding what is permitted as a commercial endeavor on that parcel, what permits are necessary, what building code requirements are called for, what is ac sally being conducted there versus what is permitted, and whether the definition of farmstore allows tours and sale of produced on the property.

As we discussed on Wednesday, May 23, 2012, circumstances directly associated with the Boneta’s involving intensity of lighting, noise, nuisance levels with barking dogs, disruptive and devaluation of property are of primary concern. As you noted, we did complain about the introduction of students being housed in the Boneta’s residence and farm facilities which resulted in enforcement action by the Zoning Board which has influenced diminished activity by Mrs. Boneta for the present time. We take note that an appeal has been filed and as you indicated, there is a possibility that the results of the appeal may be in her favor which is a circumstance of events that you have no control over. Of absolute concern, is the possibility of some form of retaliation orchestrated by the Boneta’s to intimidate, harass or to demonstrate that she has the ability to circumvent the authorities with perceived immunity. Her perception appears to be that the Fauquier County obstacles are essentially a minor irritant. Since Mrs. Boneta’s arrival in Paris, Fauquier County, there appears to be a continuous mark of aggressive, confrontational and disruptive behavior, which directly affects the community's standard and quality of life. It is our belief that the ordinances require serious attention and adjustment to effectively control those who ignore the basic courtesies of social intercourse. Those responsible for enforcing the zoning ordinances are hampered by what appears to be weak and outdated applications in today’s environment, as is evidenced by Mrs. Boneta’s behavior.It is both an exhausting and debilitating exercise to continuously be required to contact and explain on a repetitive basis, repetitive issues associated with one individual's contentious behavior and attitude toward society and a regulatory component.
