A group who says a gravel pit would violate part of the local zoning ordinance says they'll fight the pit.
The Clinton Smith Schoolhouse Community Group, made up of some Middlebury residents say a proposed gravel and sand pit off Case Street and Route 116 would violate part of the zoning ordinance. The Rutland Herald reports that Ron Kohn, a member of the group, said at least one of the members is worried that vibrations from passing trucks might damage the school's stone foundation from where the group gets it name. The project would require an access road through a residential district, and the group quotes a portion of the regulations forbidding just that. The group has filed a motion to have the application dismissed.
