Thanks for the update Johnny, no public hearing held back then would certainly seem proof that the rezoning was illegal if that is the case.
Honestly I didn't click into or read details on any of the the link you recently posted but was hopeful to find something that crew did for the positive side and mining.

Frankly Gene, my opinion of that particular crew is the same as yours..... they seem to come up short on the finishes so to speak. Not sure why you called my view of county outside their authority to be contempt.......it is not! However I do contend that many times the government officials (of what ever offices) can and do step beyond their "delegated authority" given them by the law. At that point it is the official who is in contempt, not me! I contend the citizens are the only check that remains effective on that. If one wants to take every thing for gospel that the gov says then that is absolutely no different than following hearsay from an old timer as facts!
I say and have always said......your own knowledge on rights/ownership issues pays off when needed in ones personal situations of that type. Know your ground and make a stand where it needs to be.

BTW my personal case with the county has been dismissed by prosecution!

As far as mineral rights being separated from surface rights....... I've found that to be true on every piece of property I've been involved with ownership transfer directly. Oil and gas, Timber, Mineral and water rights can and often are separated in the homeowners surface ownership. Not always is that the case but it certainly does happen with many of the residential home site or subdivisions of today's world.
