County to investigate mining operation at Grammercy Plantation

County commissioners are once again investigating a complaint from a homeowner at Grammercy Plantation just east of Eastpoint.
Homeowner Ted Ruffner asked the county this month to step in and stop a mining company that is currently at work on a piece of property in the development.
It’s the second time he has made the request.
Mister Ruffner, who has lived in Grammercy for 11 years, said that a piece of property that was intended to be used for a spray field is now being mined by a private company.
The property, he said, was listed in the Grammercy development order as a location for a spray field, and if the development ever connected to Eastpoint sewer it was to be turned in to communal property for conservation and recreation.
He said the property was sold a few years ago to the private mining company and the sale violated the development order.
Mister Ruffner said he doesn’t want to take the issue to court, and he feels the county should be able to stop the mining by enforcing its own zoning code.
The issue was initially brought to the county last year and the county attorney said he thought the problem had been fixed.

Commissioners asked the county attorney to meet with the developers and neighboring homeowners again to see why there is still a problem.
