[quote=paramount]…They could choose to sue the county, but on what basis; because they didn’t get their way?…[/quote]
It has nothing to do with this. It has to do with the fact that the county may have not performed their “ministerial duty” or performed it properly. The quarry could allege that the county succumbed to (political) NIMBYism pressure instead of following the law or the rules/directives set forth by the county’s own ordinances and/or Charter.
My experience has told me that we shouldn’t count our chickens before they actually hatch. We have no way of knowing which remedy (if any) the quarry will try to resurrect their rights in this case.
