Title

LaFranchi Quarry Master Plan Waiver, Use Permit, & Design Review Exemption

Description

On February 27, 2001, the Marin County Board of Supervisors approved Resolution No. 2001-16, approving with conditions the Lafranchi Quarry Master Plan Waiver, Use Permit Renewal and Design Review. The quarry is situated on a 6.4 acre portion of the 375 acre Lafranchi ranch property in Nicasio. The 2001 Use Permit included an Operating Plan consisting of a number of standards and requirements that govern the operation of the quarry. A detailed list is available on file for your review at County of Marin Planning Department. The approved facilities of the quarry included an office building, 100 linear feet of rock storage bins, an on-site sewage disposal system, a 5,000 gallon water storage tank, and a 10 ft by 20 ft settling pond. In 2001, the operator estimated at the rate of extraction of rock that the quarry would have a 25 yr operating expectancy, subject to market fluctuations, which could cause the rate of extraction to be less that the proposed rate. Seven years have passed and the remaining operating expectancy of the quarry is ~18 yrs.
