The Tennessee Court of Appeals has affirmed the judgment of the Chancery Court in the Hunters Point Quarry LLC v. Metropolitan Government of Hartsville and Trousdale County case.
The county鈥檚 planning commission had denied the petitioner鈥檚 request to place a quarry in an agricultural zone, noting that while the county鈥檚 zoning laws held certain requirements for quarrying, none of the zones allowed quarrying.
The trial court granted judgment to the county, stating that the county did not act 鈥渋llegally, capriciously, fraudulently, or without material evidence.鈥 The appeals court agreed.
鈥淲e conclude that the chancery court did not err in granting summary judgment to the County Respondents,鈥 the opinion reads. 鈥淥ur resolution of this appeal turns ultimately on the legal question, which we have reviewed de novo, of whether the Zoning Resolution prohibited placing a quarry into the Agriculture-Forestry District. We conclude that it did; accordingly, we conclude that the chancery court did not err. For these reasons, we affirm the judgment of the Chancery Court for Trousdale County. Costs of the appeal are taxed to the appellant, Hunters Point Quarry LLC, for which execution may be issued if necessary.鈥
Judge Jeffrey Usman authored the opinion for the court.
Hunters Point Quarry LLC has 60 days from the date of the decision to appeal the ruling with the Tennessee Supreme Court.
