[Vision2020] Naylor Farm loses in court

[Donovan Arnold]

Boy, imagine if Naylor Farms came in with jobs, it would ruin the whole local paleo hippie plan to keep the people working for minimum wage and drinking the nasty brown staining water.

Judge upholds Latah County's denial of Naylor Farms permit

Updated at: 16:08 pm

Nez Perce County Second District Court Judge Carl B. Kerrick upheld the Latah County commissioners' denial of a conditional use permit application to mine clay and gravel north of Moscow.

In a news release from Latah County on Tuesday announcing Kerrick's decision, Prosecutor William Thompson noted the decision "reaffirms the Commissioners' authority to responsibly regulate land use for the benefit of the county as a whole."

The Latah County commissioners in Sept. 2006 denied Naylor Farms' application to mine on 381 acres of its land in 40-acre sections. The mining operation would have used an estimated 20 million gallons of water a year to limit dust from the mine and separate the soil from the rock.

Commissioners said the company's permit application and verbal testimony left too many questions unanswered, and the proposal did not fall within the parameters of the county's comprehensive plan.

Attorneys for Naylor Farms appealed the county's decision, arguing the denial violated the company's private property rights.
