The Lyon County Commission approved Resolution 11-25 on June 26, granting Rockland Stone a conditional-use permit for a quarry and amending the county regulation plan map to conform with the permit. The motion carried 3-0.
Sam Seeley, Lyon County Planning & Zoning, presented Application Q2025-02 recommending approval with conditions and laid out the planning rationale. County Engineer Wayne Scritchfield raised concerns about the proposed haul route and weight limits on local bridges; commissioners discussed and suggested use of an alternate haul route to address those infrastructure risks. Representatives from Rockland Stone described the project’s process, expected timeframe and land reclamation plans. Resident Mark Remmert thanked commissioners for their time on both quarry requests.

The approval includes conditions attached by Planning & Zoning; the transcript records the resolution number and the vote but does not list the full text of those conditions in the minutes.
