I would imagine it depends on what your zoning regs say. Ours say that a nonconforming use shall not be re-established if it has been discontinued for 2 or more years. In West Windsor, the owner would have to get conditional use approval before re-establishing the gravel pit.

It has not been operated as a gravel pit for at least a dozen years. He wants to know what he has to do to sell gravel. Doesn't need Act 250 as it meets thier criteria as pre-existing. We allow gravel and sand pits as a conditional use. Does the new owner need to obtain a conditional use permit? Our regulations speak to non-conforming uses and structures, but does not mention this situation - conditional use. Any thoughts would be most welcome! Thanks in advance. :-) Gail
