Title: Lost Coast Cannabis in the Final Frontier

Captain James T. Kirk sat in the captain’s chair on the bridge of the USS Enterprise, his eyes fixed on the view screen. They had just completed a mission on a distant planet and were now en route to Starbase 9 for a much-needed resupply. As they traveled through space, Kirk couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement. There was something special about this mission, something different.

“Captain,” came the voice of Lieutenant Uhura, the ship’s communications officer. “We’re receiving a message from the County of Humboldt on planet Earth.”

Kirk raised an eyebrow. “On screen, Lieutenant.”

The view screen flickered to life, displaying a woman in a suit standing in what looked like a government office. “Captain Kirk, I am Holly Carter, agent for Lost Coast Cannabis, LLC. We have a proposition for you.”

Kirk leaned forward in his chair, intrigued. “Go on, Ms. Carter.”

Carter explained the details of the Lost Coast Cannabis project, the Conditional Use Permit for their outdoor commercial cannabis cultivation. She outlined the estimated water usage, power sources, and environmental considerations. Kirk listened intently, his mind racing with possibilities.

“And why do you need the USS Enterprise for this project, Ms. Carter?” Kirk asked, once she had finished.

Carter smiled. “Captain, the Lost Coast Cannabis team believes that the advanced technology and resources of the Enterprise would greatly benefit our cultivation efforts. We aim to create a sustainable and environmentally friendly operation, and we believe your ship can help us achieve that goal.”

Kirk nodded, his interest piqued. “I see. And what’s in it for us?”

Carter’s smile widened. “Captain, we would offer you a significant share in the profits from the cultivation and distribution of our cannabis products. We believe this partnership could be mutually beneficial.”

Kirk considered the offer for a moment before responding. “Ms. Carter, I appreciate the opportunity you’ve presented us with. I will discuss it with my senior officers and get back to you.”

Carter nodded. “Of course, Captain. Take your time. I look forward to hearing from you.”

The view screen went blank, leaving Kirk deep in thought. He knew there were risks involved in partnering with a cannabis cultivation project, but he also saw the potential benefits. The Enterprise had always been at the forefront of exploration and pushing boundaries, and this opportunity seemed to align with that spirit.

Kirk activated the ship-wide intercom. “Attention all senior officers, report to the conference room for a meeting. We have a decision to make.”

As the officers gathered in the conference room, Kirk briefed them on the offer from Lost Coast Cannabis. The room buzzed with discussion and debate, each officer offering their perspective. After much deliberation, Kirk made his decision.

“Set a course for Earth, warp factor 7,” Kirk commanded. “We’re going to give Lost Coast Cannabis the opportunity they’re asking for. Let’s see what this partnership can do.”

With that, the USS Enterprise changed its course, setting a new trajectory towards planet Earth. It was a bold move, a leap into the unknown, but Kirk and his crew were ready for the challenge. Together with Lost Coast Cannabis, they would embark on a new adventure, pushing the boundaries of what was possible.

And with the power of the Enterprise and the ingenuity of Lost Coast Cannabis, they would boldly grow where no one had grown before.

In the quiet town of Hydesville, nestled in the County of Humboldt, lies a property with a dark secret. On January 18, 2024, the Planning Commission gathered for a meeting to discuss the Bush - Parcel Map Subdivision. Little did they know, this seemingly routine application would lead them to a horrifying discovery.

Ronny and Nancy Bush were the owners of the 6.3-acre parcel located on Chuckhole Lane. Their intention was to subdivide the land into two parcels, one measuring approximately 3.8 acres, and the other 2.5 acres. The existing structures on the property included a 2,200 square foot single-family residence and various accessory structures that would remain on Parcel 1, and a 1,620 square foot Accessory Dwelling Unit on Parcel 2.

As the Planning Commission reviewed the proposal, they became aware of certain exceptions that had been granted by CALFIRE. The dead-end road length exceeded the allowable limit by 310 feet, but CALFIRE had approved an exception. Similarly, the road width did not meet CALFIRE standards, but an exception had been granted as well. Despite these exceptions, the project was still subject to the State Fire Safe requirements, including maintaining 30-foot setbacks from all property lines to ensure defensible space.

Another noteworthy aspect of the property was its location within the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone. This meant that a Fault Evaluation Report would typically be required for any future development. However, the existing structures were exempt from this requirement, as they were not considered future development. The Planning Commission imposed a condition of approval that required the conveyance of rights for further residential development to the County of Humboldt until a Fault Evaluation Report had been completed for any areas within the Alquist-Priolo Fault Hazard Zone that would be targeted for future development.

As the meeting progressed, it became apparent that there was more to this property than met the eye. The Northwest Information Center recommended an archaeological survey to be conducted for the property, even though no development was proposed. This condition of approval aimed to ensure that any future development on the resulting parcels would be subject to a Cultural Resources Survey.

The Bush - Parcel Map Subdivision seemed to have all the necessary approvals and conditions in place. However, as the Planning Commission delved deeper into the history of the property, they uncovered chilling details. Local folklore spoke of strange occurrences and eerie events that had taken place on the land.

Whispers of a haunted past started to circulate among the residents of Hydesville. Some spoke of ghostly apparitions roaming the property, while others claimed to have heard disembodied voices echoing through the night. The town’s dark secrets were slowly coming to light, and the Bush - Parcel Map Subdivision was unknowingly unraveling the horrors that lay hidden.

Rumors of a long-forgotten tragedy began to resurface. As the Planning Commission pored over the records, they discovered that the property had once been the site of a gruesome murder-suicide. A family had lived there years ago, but their peaceful existence was shattered when a deranged father took the lives of his wife and children before ending his own.

The Planning Commission soon realized that they were in a race against time. The innocence of the Bush - Parcel Map Subdivision had been shattered, and the spirits of the past were restless. Strange occurrences started to plague the members of the Commission. Objects moved inexplicably, cold drafts swept through the room even when the windows were closed, and whispers filled the air during their meetings.

As the day of the final decision on the subdivision drew near, the members of the Planning Commission found themselves tormented by nightmarish visions and unexplainable phenomena. They were trapped in a web of fear, unable to escape the clutches of the property’s dark past.

On the night of January 17, 2024, the eve of the fateful decision, the Planning Commission gathered one last time. The atmosphere was heavy with unease as they debated the future of the Bush - Parcel Map Subdivision. The horror that had plagued their meetings had reached its peak, and the spirits of the past were hungry for vengeance.

In the early hours of January 18, 2024, just before the meeting was set to begin, a blood-curdling scream echoed through the halls of the Planning and Building Department. One by one, the members of the Planning Commission fell victim to the malevolent forces that had been unleashed.

The Bush - Parcel Map Subdivision remained incomplete, forever tainted by the dark history of the land. It became a cautionary tale, a reminder that some secrets are best left undisturbed. The County of Humboldt would forever bear the mark of this horrifying tale, a testament to the power of the supernatural and the consequences of meddling with the unknown.

“I went to a planning commission meeting the other day in Humboldt County. They were talking about amending the zoning ordinance for signs and billboards. I said, ‘Hey, have you seen my face? That’s the biggest sign of all, and it ain’t getting any smaller!’”
