Neighbors blast Franklin quarry proposal
FRANKLIN Following a public hearing that spanned about two hours, the Planning Board decided to extend the public comment period to June 21 for a proposed rock quarry on a 75.5-acre parcel on South Bay Road. The proposal has drawn criticism and concerns from neighbors and abutters.
The extension will give residents more time to make comments while the board waits on additional information it requested from the applicant, TC Gravel LLC in Ellsworth, Planning Board Chairman Brian Abbott explained to The American.
One piece of the requested information is the decibel level of a proposed rock crusher on site, Abbott said.
