JEFFERSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE Appeal by Permission from the Court of Appeals, Eastern Section Chancery Court for Jefferson County No. 99113 Jon Kerry Blackwood, Senior Judge No. E2010-00547-SC-R11-CV - Filed August 30, 2012 W ILLIAM C. K OCH, J R., J., concurring I concur with the Court s conclusion that the evidence does not preponderate against the trial court s finding that Ready Mix, USA, LLC s activities on its property established pre-existing use and, therefore, qualify for protection under Tenn. Code Ann. § 13-7-208 (2011). I base my decision entirely on our prior precedents construing Tenn. Code Ann. § 13-7-208 without any consideration, directly or indirectly, of the diminishing assets doctrine. ______________________________ WILLIAM C. KOCH, JR., JUSTICE
