Planner Keith Gornaldyke presented the project and photo simulations showing a monopine-style tower sited on private property in the Willett area, roughly 790–860 feet from Sherwood Road and screened among existing pine trees. Staff completed an initial study and recommended a CEQA negative declaration, finding potential impacts would be less than significant with mitigation and conditions of approval.

Applicant agent Matthew Moore said the landlord's primary residence is in Ukiah and that he did not have a prepared presentation. Moore told the commission the facility would comply with all local and state fire codes and building permit requirements and noted that backup generators are required by the California Public Utilities Commission to keep service during power outages: \"[Backup generators] are mandated by the CPUC that these facilities do have backup generators…so that people can stay in contact,\" he said.

Members of the public and adjacent property owners spoke against the siting. Dina Williams, who identified herself as a Sullivan Homeowners Association board member, cited environmental concerns in the heavily forested area. Adjacent property owner Ale Reynieto said she objected to the tower, voiced concern about nighttime generator noise, frequent power outages, fire-safety risk, and asked whether the applicant would assist with private road maintenance since landowners pay road dues.

One commissioner asked staff to consider a special condition requiring abatement of nuisance conditions and removal of abandoned vehicles and unsafe structures on the property before construction; staff said the noticing issue requires continuance and that the commission and staff would work on those concerns and return with updates at the continued hearing.

Because of minor posting errors to the state clearinghouse, county counsel and staff said the notice period for state agencies would not conclude until June 18, 2025, and the commission must continue final action to the June 19 meeting. A motion to continue to the June 19, 2025 meeting was made and seconded; roll call recorded Chair Babini, Commissioner Jones, Commissioner Pollan and Commissioner Richards voting yes, and the motion passed unanimously.","A public hearing on a use permit for a 65-foot Verizon monopine tower (U20240004) in the Willett area was opened, public commenters raised concerns about fire risk, generators and road impacts, and the Planning Commission continued the hearing to a date certain of June 19, 2025, for final action due to state-noticing timing.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6533681,"Planning commission approves 5-year renewal and slope modification for Parker 10 Mile Ranch reclamation plan",842,1076065,1918962,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3680350-e72c4d669979a068728049ebbf3b3a6f&start=1076&end=1918","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3680350-e72c4d669979a068728049ebbf3b3a6f/thumbnail_1076065.jpg","/articles/6533681/Mendocino-County/California/Planning-commission-approves-5-year-renewal-and-slope-modification-for-Parker-10-Mile-Ranch-reclamation-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533681-2d8b5f435946d8ca24e39122f5a9106c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770844338&Signature=DsF07LeMNaeK~IuJLZdGU2w-bwnuT7BnyDUKDi3LcXaKVPCnCt1Bw-6xk8U-cfUmqNsy3BlOq0F2LKj9frqUE1cSIXkWCfWQsE7A~pazitZLC9xNothm7Dk51ouO1F1RkNcOQjbzcFh9rn3xrnn3M~BrIXd8X4L9I~ZxRSZASQFLer36bRdLR66dxB~qkNaHdvo8skTV~GMurYsn8REqXFEZveDTGtlgBazQpBL0yxEFkYs5T5MnQwiaF7j4SHhMfAV20GaHI84FedSqKMLmReLl9Z~iavST7xjHv1NZVsIpkO-vmAgmTfGVYMkWhSlNQTJzEKGG3w3CFzIs8YLhCg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mendocino County Planning Commission on a unanimous vote adopted a negative declaration and approved a five-year renewal and modification of the Parker 10 Mile Ranch reclamation plan (REC20240003), staff said. The action allows the operator to receive overburden from a wetland restoration project and place it on the quarry site to finish final contouring.

Staff said the project site is about 8 miles north of Fort Bragg on a private 622-acre parcel, with roughly 15 acres used for the quarry and associated processing. Project planner Dirk Larson told the commission that the operator has been reclaiming portions of the site and that the requested modification would create a gentler final slope and include storm structures and a retention pond to control erosion.

\"Reclamation is a combined process by which adverse environmental effects of surface mining are minimized and returned to a beneficial end use,\" Larson said, noting that final steps typically include topsoil replacement and revegetation with species suitable to the area.

The staff report said the operation has vested rights under county code, is subject to the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA) annual inspections, and must maintain financial assurance mechanisms reviewed by the State Department of Conservation's Division of Mine Reclamation. Staff concluded the proposed modification and five-year extension would not cause significant environmental effects and recommended adoption of a negative declaration with mitigation measures and approval pursuant to Mendocino County Code section 20.532.

Jordan Main, a land-use consultant for Geo Aggregates, represented the applicant and answered commissioner questions. Commissioners asked about the potential for further extraction; staff replied that vested rights allow future extraction without a use permit but the operator currently intends to complete reclamation. Staff also explained the modification is linked to a Nature Conservancy project to remove overburden from the South Fork of the 10 Mile River and deposit that material at the quarry, reducing transport and using private haul routes.

Commissioners moved and seconded the resolution to adopt the negative declaration and grant the reclamation plan renewal and modification. The roll call vote recorded Chair Babini, Commissioner Jones, Commissioner Pollan and Commissioner Richards voting yes; the motion passed unanimously.

Staff said the county will continue SMARA inspections, require updated financial-assurance cost estimates and a financial-assurance mechanism from the operator, and monitor revegetation success for a multi-year period as specified in the approved reclamation plan.","The Mendocino County Planning Commission unanimously adopted a negative declaration and granted a five-year renewal and modification of the Parker 10 Mile Ranch reclamation plan (REC20240003), allowing use of wetland overburden as fill for final quarry slopes and continuing SMARA inspection and financial-assurance requirements.","actionData","errors"]
