The sign outside of Enon Sand & Gravel, LLC s offices
A judge in Clark County has granted an injunction in a lawsuit filed by local residents against Enon Sand & Gravel.
The judge’s decision said Enon Sand & Gravel, a subsidiary of The Jurgensen Companies, must get a conditional use permit from the county s board of zoning appeals before it starts mining on certain parcels the company owns in Mad River Township.
Enon Sand & Gravel s attorneys argued in court that mining on that land commenced before November 1964,when Clark County formed its zoning board. Therefore, the company said, it should be exempt from needing a permit.
