Maybe they didn understand the local zoning?
Oh sure. They paid a reported $500,000 to buy property without checking to see whether industrial mining is a permitted use. Here’s what anyone with $4 to spend for the Town of Nassau’s “Land Use and Development Regulations” would find out about the Town’s “Rural Residential” zoning (under which the proposed quarry site falls): RURAL RESIDENTIAL. The Rural Residential District is established to maintain and protect the open, rural character, environmental quality and natural habitat of these parts of the Town while allowing for a mixture of housing types, opportunities and home occupations, and to provide for current and future residents the opportunities for a wide range of activities including rural living, agriculture, forestry, recreation and the enjoyment of wildlife. In other words, no industrial rock quarries allowed on the site. Period.
