Gary Harvey insists he was not running a bed and breakfast when he allowed guests to stay at his home on May 10 of this year. Though he hardly knew some of them, he says he never took so much as a dime for his hospitalityNonetheless,
Harvey was found guilty Aug. 21 of a zoning violation after opening four of his rooms at Graystone Estate on Clark Ij«h> to wedding party members following a reception at Blue Rock Inn
Harvey lives at Graystone Estate and leases Blue Rock Inn, a restaurant and bed and breakfast located at 12567 Lee Highway. According to the criminal complaint filed against Harvey, Rappahannock County zoning ordinance prohibits use of Graystone Estate, a residential property, as a commercial bed and breakfast.
Harvey pleaded not guilty to the zoning charge stemming from the May 10 incident, but Judge Charles Foley ultimately ruled against him He sentenced Harvey to 12 months probation and imposed a $1,000 fine, though Harvey need only pay $100 if he stays out of trouble.
Harvey’s neighbors believe he began violating the county ordinance nearly two years ago. Allan Resinger, who lives up the road from Harvey and testified against him at the trial, said he witnessed an event at Graystone Estate in September 2005 that led him to believe Harvey was using it for commercial purposes. He said that around the time of the event he also noticed increased traffic on Clark Lane, which was particularly troubling to him because he did not believe the crumbling road would fare well with increased use.
