Case Numbers SP-17-044, DR-16-015
Assessor Parcel Numbers (APN) 519-231-018, 520-012-013
Orick Area
Save-the-Redwoods League seeks planning entitlements for the deconstruction of the existing barn, approximately 5,560 square feet in size, and ancillary structure, approximately 1,525 square feet in size, both of which are centrally located on the former Orick Mill Site.
Access to the site is located along Bald Hills Road, which runs along the southern boundary of the project site. Under the proposed project, the existing barn and ancillary structure located on the project site will be deconstructed with associated materials stockpiled on-site
for potential re-use on-site at a later date. The proposed location of the stockpiled materials is on the existing paved area, approximately 225 feet northeast of the existing barn. An Orick Barn Ancillary Structures Historical Resources Assessment Report was prepared by
Gerald T. Takano on November 25, 2105, to determine if the barn and ancillary structures (including the ancillary structure to be deconstruction and the existing tank to remain) are of historical, architectural, and cultural significance as a local, State, or federal resource. No
cultural or historical resources have been identified within the project site. A Special Permit is required as the Orick Design Review Committee recommended denial. No reason was given for the recommendation.
Recommendation
Move to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and make all of the required findings for approval of the Special Permit based on evidence in the staff report, and adopt the Resolution approving the Save-the-Redwood League project subject to the recommended conditions.
