denial of Naylor Farms permit<BR><BR>Updated at: 16:08 pm<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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."<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>Attorneys for Naylor Farms appealed the county's decision,
arguing the denial violated the company's private property rights.<BR><BR>For
