Description
In October, 1957, when the Avon zoning regulations applicable to this case became effective, the plaintiff occupied, as lessee, certain land on Edwards Road. On this land, the plaintiff was excavating and extracting sand and gravel, which was screened, washed and processed for sale. The land was zoned ""I.1 Industrial,"" a zone in which such sand and gravel operations were not permitted. Avon Zoning Regs. 4.11 (1957). Section 6.01 of the regulations, however, allowed the continuance of the plaintiff's use as a nonconforming one. In November, 1959, the plaintiff erected on the land two elevated bins, one of which is used for cement and the other for sand and stone. No building permit was obtained for the erection of these bins. Materials from the bins are loaded into readymix concrete trucks; water is then added and all of the aggregates are mixed to produce concrete for sale and delivery to customers. The mixing process usually takes place while the trucks are en route to, or at, their destination. In August, 1960, the town building inspector, as the enforcement officer, caused to be served on the plaintiff a cease and desist order relating to the use of the property for the batching and sale of ready-mix concrete and ordered the removal of the bins. From these orders the plaintiff appealed to the zoning board of appeals, which sustained the action of the building inspector. The plaintiff's appeal from the decision of the board to the Court of Common Pleas was dismissed, and from that judgment the plaintiff has appealed to this court.
