Actually, that was me with the 24/7 gravel pit, and we were zoned Ag/Fore=
stry. The county granted North Idaho Crushing a variance when they grant=
ed the Conditional Use Permit. Over the years, our fights with the count=
y weren't about shutting down the gravel pit (or the ag. chemical busines=
s) but about the county refusing to enforce its own ordinances. That was=
what we found so frustrating.
