Unfortunately, what we say here doesn’t really matter. The County Staff is Backing the Applicant Against Our Wishes. The Only Way this Pit can be stopped is if enough of us show up to counteract the County Staff and let the BOA know that we do not want this Eyesore in the middle of our Community. It was stopped Twice Before and can be Stopped Again if enough of us show up to let the BOA know how the Community at large feels. Please do Whatever you need to do to show up to the Hearing this Wednesday on 8/21/24 at 8:30 am to Voice Your Opposition. If we fail to do that, we Fail Ourselves.

Margielu is Correct-This is the same property with the hog pen controversy. The Applicant has applied for a Conditional Use Permit twice. The adjoining landowner to the South hired an Engineer and a lawyer Twice to oppose the Pit. The BOA unanimously rejected the application both times. After the second rejection by the BOA, the Applicant placed hogs next to the adjoining landowners house in an attempt to Stink Out the Opposition. The hogs remain there to this day. This does not appear to be a Very Neighborly Act !!!!

By The Way-In reference to the beautiful house and lake plans, one tiny fact has been Intentionally Omitted – This will only happen After the Pit has been dug out after 10-15-20 YEARS ? of Noise-Dust-Dump Trump Traffic and Neighborhood Disruption !!!

Community Member is 100% right! If I were this guy, I would sell this property to a developer and take my money somewhere else. Molino could then cry about another subdivision and roads and schools being over crowded in the northend. Im sure the homeowners in this new subdivision would enjoy being stalked over the fence every day too! This guy pays taxes and is trying to make a living for his family and is enduring pure heck for it. I hope he wins his battle and is able to enjoy his life in Molino.

How did you neighbors get the dirt for your house foundation, or the materials for your driveway, or the road in front of your house, or fill dirt for your yard erosion, or your furnishings inside your home, or the material to build your home? Almost everything you see on your property, except for what my God put there, was delivered by a big truck……get a life and quit whing ok!!!!!

Why would any person think of creating a borrow pit when surrounded by neighbors homes????? He was already denied once…so what has changed???
And, is this not the same property where a hog pen was purposely built by this landowner directly attached to his neighbor’s property line?

Nothing good can come from a borrow pit allowed to operate in the middle of a community PERIOD! Look at what happened to the Wedgewood Community, that residential area is still, to this day, suffering from health issues and nuisances. The man proposing the pit in the Molino community recently purchased the Shortleaf Borrow Pit for mineral extraction within the Wedgewood Community (I would assume thats the “distance” factor in the above comment from “Community Member “). He is the same man who operated the massive borrow pit off of Devine Farms Rd. His record shows he is in this for the business and is not concerned about the impact a borrow pit would have on the surrounding residents and environment.

@community member
Where is he going to get the water from for 44 acres.
What about the water wells and ponds within 1000′
I know of 5 wells just west of 95A. Will the existing ponds loose their water? County best turn this down..
Check out the 33,000 dump truck loads for just the lake at 12′ down. Believe at last meeting he wouldnt answer the full deppt of the pit. Likely 60-90′ .
There goes the privite water wells qualities. neighbor has a spring fed swimmimg hole.
Need a federal water report,not paid local report!
