The residents of the Loma Parda subdivision near Abo have submitted temporary restraining orders against the Torrance County Commission and a medical marijuana operation owned and run by JBM Land and Cattle.
The order claims that JBM Land and Cattle are prevented "from occupying the manufactured home, from utilizing the domestic well for irrigation, from drilling a new well, from operating any business or leasing the real property" in the Loma Parda subdivision.
However, growing operations ceased in mid-October and the property has been vacated since then, according to JBM Land and Cattle Manager Trevor Reed.
"We followed the rule of law. I also followed the high road in meeting with the neighbors when they first complained. At that meeting I said, 'Hey, I will promise to vacate the premises in the Autumn of 2016.' We have vacated the property. Most of the neighbors articulated that we were good neighbors," Reed said. "These people have squandered their money and ours over some 'high moral ground.' For being nouveau hippies they ain't that bright."
The marijuana greenhouse approved by the state Department of Health and the Torrance County Planning and Zoning Board has been a source of contention with its neighbors near Abo in southern Torrance County since its arrival in August 2015.
The Torrance County Commission voted to approve the greenhouse by a 2-to-1 vote on Aug. 12, 2015. The dissenting vote came from Commissioner Julia DuCharme.
That decision was appealed to state District Court by property owners near the greenhouse.
The land where the greenhouse was located is in a conservation district where only certain activities are permitted on the property, such as low-intensity agriculture, cultivating and harvesting plants and croplands, and other uses as set forth in the Torrance County Zoning Ordinance.
State District Court Judge Matthew Reynolds ruled July 27 that the Torrance County Commission did not follow the law when it allowed a medical marijuana greenhouse to be built in the Loma Parda subdivision last year.
The commission voted by a 2-to-1 margin to appeal the court's decision that undid their approval of the greenhouse operation to the state. The nay vote on this also came from DuCharme.
