A rezone of over 200 acres for Heritage Aggregates includes a compromise between the company and Shelby County.

Shelby County Commissioner Kevin Nigh says the county’s plan commission had approved a rezone of the requested property to High Intensity but with strict stipulations on setbacks for the mining operation. Nigh said doubling setbacks on the front and sides over 243 acres took a great deal of land out of production. Because of that, the commissioners sent back the rezone for the plan commission to reconsider.

On Monday, commissioners again discussed the rezone request that they felt was excessive on the setback requirements.  With the rezone again submitted from the plan commission and, with no changes, Nigh says Heritage Aggregates offered some changes of their own.

The rezone of the property on CR 1200 South just south of SR 252, east of CR 100 and west of SR 9, received approval from the Shelby County Commissioners on Monday.
