By SARAH LINDENFELD HALL, Staff Writer RALEIGH - For at least two decades, a fight has simmered between the deep northwest Raleigh quarry that wants to expand across Crabtree Creek, the city that says it can't and the neighbors who say the rock - blasting makes their houses shake regularly. It could be about to boil over -- and end up in court. The latest skirmish began with truckloads of dirt. In mid - April, the city told Hanson Aggregates Southeast, which owns the more- than -50- year -old quarry on Duraleigh Road, to stop hauling dirt from the south side of Crabtree Creek. A contractor building the Edwards Mill Road extension was using the dirt. Larry Strickland, the city's zoning inspector supervisor, said the activity met the state's definition of mining, which violates city zoning rules. The hauling stopped, but Hanson appealed Strickland's order this month to the city's Board of Adjustment. At its June 10 meeting, the board will schedule a special hearing to consider the appeal. It will take a four - fifths majority to overturn Strickland's decision. The lawsuit the city and quarry have been flirting with for years could finally happen if the board makes a decision and it is appealed. And some residents, feeling jittery, are wondering what's next. "I think the business of taking dirt out is the start of something really awful," said Mimi Miller, president of the Oak Park Glen Forest Neighborhood Association. The disagreement began decades ago. Hanson maintains that it can expand its operation, which started before 1950 on the creek's north side, and mine on the south side of the creek because it was there before the city limits extended to the property in 1973. In April, the state renewed the quarry's 10 -year permit, allowing the quarry to disturb 95 of its 261 acres, which are on both sides of the creek. The permit allows mining on the creek's south side, but local zoning regulations supersede what the state allows. The city says the operation can't jump the creek, because that land is zoned residential, where quarries aren't allowed. The quarry on the north side of the creek was grandfathered in when the city's jurisdiction was extended there. In 1994, the City Council voted 5 -3 to reaffirm the city's position that the quarry can't cross the creek after neighbors asked the city to take the quarry to court. Wayne Phears, a lawyer from Norcross, Ga., representing Hanson, said the quarry has told the city it would 1 of 2 5/28/2002 1:31 PM .ver.com printer- friendly story welcome a suit to decide the issue. "We've been urging the city of Raleigh, if they think we're not a lawful use, to go to court and shut it down," he said. Phears said the quarry filed the appeal with the zoning board just to make sure the official record makes clear it disagrees with the city's interpretation in case the issue ever does go to court. City Attorney Thomas McCormick said that the city hasn't had any reason to sue the quarry because it hasn't started mining on the south side of the creek. He said the city is taking the appeal seriously. The quarry's future has been uncertain More than a decade ago, quarry officials offered the quarry as a gift to Wake County for flood control if the quarry could mine the other side of the creek. Raleigh endorsed the flood - control plan, but said that did not mean the quarry had a right to mine on the south side. And in 1999, greenway advocates proposed building a park next to the quarry, with greenways that would connect to Durham and Cary. The plan angered residents because the greenways group recognized the quarry as having the right to mine a second quarry across the creek. Meanwhile, nearby residents say they feel jolts and shakes from blasts at the quarry at least twice a week, and, in the past, felt them daily. Population has increased in the area, which is down the road from Rex Hospital to the south and Umstead State Park to the north. "I don't think anything has changed in terms of the neighborhood position," said Jill Heaton, who lives in the Oak Park neighborhood. "We find quarrying on the south of Crabtree Creek unacceptable, which has always been our position." Miller, the neighborhood association president, still remembers the first blast after she moved into her home 17 years ago. "The first time it went off, I was home here," she said. "I thought we had an earthquake and ran out and no one paid any attention. My neighbor said, 'it was the quarry.' " © Copyright 2002, The News & Observer.
