“There’s people who don’t want hear it. I can understand that. There are people who don’t want people running their lives. But, also, you have to look at the people who want to keep upgrading their houses and property values. It’s both ways. I’d just like to see something else done. We’ve seen it with no zoning and nothing’s going on. I think it will help the whole community.”

“I knew there wasn’t zoning when I came here. If somebody buys property here, they know there’s no zoning. They know they can do, basically, what they want to do. And, other people can do what they want to do. If they aren’t good with that, this is the wrong place for them to live. Don’t try to change us. If I really wanted to live in a place that had zoning, I would move to a place that had zoning. Or, I’d go to one of them gated communities where they tell you everything.”

“Zoning, for me, is just a way of somebody moving into this county from the city or something and wanting to control everybody else and the way they live. They want to make it so you can’t park on your grass, or they don’t like the color of your door. It’s starts here, then it gets big, they all do. Zoning’s always been to keep businesses out. We got businesses around here, there’s no zoning, so, how did they get here? You don’t need zoning to get business. I think there’s a lot more to worry about in this township than zoning. This is a dumping ground for Pennsylvania. Why can’t we do something about stuff like that?”

“I feel, Brookfield is a township. I can see zoning in cities and etc. like that, but Brookfield is really just a peaceful, good, nice, quiet town. A lot of good, respectable people in there. I feel, basically, there’s really no need for zoning to come into a small town like this. We already have a code enforcer, a gentleman who drives around, and he does a very good job with that. That’s why I say, basically, we don’t need zoning in Brookfield. I’m proud of the community, the way we handle things now, without zoning.”

“Zoning is important for Brookfield Township. The bottom line is it is going to improve the quality of life for everybody who lives here and the businesses who exist here now and hopefully for the businesses that will consider moving into the township in the future. It’s very important for us to maintain land management and property management and not necessarily because we want to see the grass cut or your house maintained. We need to make sure that the township displays its best opportunities for people to want to come here and live, raise their families, attend the schools and use the businesses. Quality of life is very important. Without that, the township pretty much will ultimately cease to exist on its own and become somebody else’s problem. We don’t want that. We’re proud of Brookfield. We believe in Brookfield, and Brookfield needs to move into the future like many of the other small communities in Ohio.”
