The owner of Gable Farm Property, which is located near the Town of Hamilton, was found to be in violation of Loudoun County’s Zoning Ordinance and ordered to make several corrective actions by next fall, according to court records.
An order of abatement, also referred to as a corrective action plan, was signed on Nov. 3 after the property owner was found to have hauled fill dirt onto the property over the past few years, which created elevations greater than approved in a site plan for the proposed use on the property, a Nov. 24 release stated.
Gable Family Limited Partnership must complete the abatement actions associated with the moving of fill material by Nov. 15, 2022. A $200 fine was already paid to the county, the release states.

“The order memorializes the parties’ agreement regarding the remedial actions to be taken by the property owner, and it provides a mechanism for the county to enforce the terms of the Abatement Plan in the future, if necessary,” said Loudoun County Senior Deputy County Attorney Courtney Sydnor, in an email to the Times-Mirror.
The 18-acre property originally approved as a “personal recreation field,” or a polo field, turned into a stockpile, said county officials when the Times-Mirror first reported the case in 2019.
