The Mono County Planning Commission unanimously approved a use-permit for a company called BASK Ventures to grow 10,000 square feet of cannabis in a building in the Sierra Business Park across from the Mammoth Yosemite Airport. BASK Ventures is made up four friends who have lived in Mammoth Lakes season- ally; Brian Herman, Ames Ressa, Steven Kent, and Kyle Paben. The proposed indoor grow-house would be 21,858 square feet. A 10,000 square foot

cannabis canopy was approved. The building will have no windows or signage, and the odor will be mitigated to be no more obnoxious than other industrial facilities. Brian Herman stood before the commission as the proponent of this project. He said that BASK hopes to grow about 2-3,000 square feet of canopy in its first year with only one grower and the four owner-operators on staff. It will not distribute, but will sell its product to a distributor. BASK hopes to grow its operation to eventually operate as its own distributor and cultivate the maximum 10,000 square foot canopy. Since BASK will not be a distributor it will not have a say over whether its product will be sold at retailers in Mammoth Lakes. Commissioner Scott Bush asked purely out of curiosity how cannabis is priced and if there is a commodity market for it. Herman said that there are essentially three tiers: outdoor, greenhouse, and indoor, indoor being the highest quality. From that baseline, exact pricing is worked out be- tween the grower and distributor. Roberta Lagomarsini said that this farm seems like, “the perfect location.” No op- position was voiced during the hearing from the public and no letters of opposition CATCH ALL were submitted.

8 I www.thesheetnews.com THE SHEET I Saturday, June 22, 2019 OFF THE SLOPES OWENS RIVER WATER TRAIL INCHES CLOSER TO REALITY By Lunch ennifer Jacobus of Environmental Science Associates briefed Inyo JCounty Water Commissioners on Monday on the Owens River Water Trail Draft Environmental Impact Report. The bottom line conclusion of the 400- page report: No significant impact. The 45-day comment comment period on the DEIR ends this Friday for the proposed Water Trail project. The 6.3 mile trail would extend from just north of Lone Pine to the intersec- tion of Highway 136 (which branches toward Keeler south of town). As Supervisor Matt Kingsley, who represents Southern Inyo County, said this week, the project “would fulfill the dream and vision of the new Owens River.” The DEIR and the comments it elicits represent just one more hurdle for a project that has been in the conceptual stages since 2013.
