6. 1. Eureka Ready Mix CUP and SMR Renewal (Emmerson Bar) Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 025-161-006, 312-151-015, 312-151-019 Record No.: PLN-2022-17873 Blue Lake Area A 15-year extension of the Reclamation Plan (SMR-06-91X, CUP-25-91X, SMP-06-91X) for the existing in-stream operations on the Emmerson Bar. A vested rights determination was made in 1992 for the annual maximum extraction of 50,000 cubic yards. The historic operation involves removal of flood-washed aggregate from the exposed bar surface, the construction of seasonal haul roads and, in most years, construction of a summer low flow channel crossing of the Main Stem Mad River. The Emmerson Bar is approximately 333 acres in size; rarely are more than fifteen acres disturbed in any one season. Emmerson Bar is located immediately downstream (east) of the Mad River Bridge on Hatchery Road near the City of Blue Lake. The bar is situated just upstream of the confluence of the Main Stem Mad River and the North Fork Mad River. Most of the surrounding land use is industrial, agricultural and rural residential. Annual extraction volumes, methods and locations are based on recommendations of the County of Humboldt Extraction Review Team (CHERT), the Department of Fish and Game (DF&G) and other regulatory agencies. If approved, the Reclamation Plan will expire July 28, 2039 24-1298 recommended for approval
7. 2. McCracken Variance Assessor Parcel Numbers (APN) 308-141-017 Record No.: PLN-2021-17543 Loleta area A Variance to facilitate a reduction of a side setback from 5 feet to 3 feet. The existing residence was built in 1970 without the proper building permits. There has also been an addition of a deck and barn which did not receive the proper building permits. The barn encroaches into the side setback. The parcel has been developed with a single-family residence and barn, and both structures are three feet from the northern property line. It is pertinent to the structural integrity of the barn to maintain the reduced setback. 24-1297 recommended for approval
