…Gary Johnson, Granite’s aggregate resource development manager, said after the two-hour meeting that he was “very disappointed” with the vote and his company would appeal the denials to supervisors.
The matter has not yet come before the Board of Supervisors. The quarry has the right to file a writ of mandamus against the Planning Commission now on the denial of permits or later upon the Board of Supervisors (if they follow the PC’s recommendation). Remember, it’s never “over” until the “fat lady sings.” :=]
The quarry will have 90 days after any adverse decision to file one with the Superior Court.
BG: The Fat Lady is warming up. It’s done. While it is true that Granite has paid off the supervisors, it would be very unusual for the sups to vote against the commission.
And they refused to certify the EIR. Granite doesn’t want this fight – and believe me we were ready to take this to court. This is an uphill battle Granite cannot overcome.
