BLACKBURN, Presiding Judge.
In this declaratory judgment action, Henry County and the Flippen Alliance for Community Empowerment, Inc. appeal the trial court’s grant of summary judgment to A. L. Brannan, Sr. (“Brannan”), contending that the trial court erred in its findings that (1) Brannan’s use of his property as a landfill was grandfathered as a nonconforming use under the applicable Henry County Zoning Ordinance, and (2) Henry County was estopped from barring Brannan from operating his landfill due to the equitable doctrine of laches. For the reasons set forth below, we reverse.
