MOTION: Council Member Park moved to add the request for Lucy Winton Bell Recreation Fields to the City’s long range capital improvement planning process. This will allow the City to evaluate the request as part of future planning activities and in the context of other City priorities as well as with an understanding of the funds available to serve all City capital needs –parks and other needs. Belwin representatives were to return to the city in 2009 if they wished to make their request again. Council Member DeLapp seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Consider an application from Oakdale Gun Club amending its Conditional Use Permit, 10386 10th Street N. Planning Director Kyle Klatt summarized the request from the Oakdale Gun Club to amend the Conditional Use Permit for construction of a building shell over an existing range that will provide additional noise abatement within the site and a small expansion of an existing operations building to provide additional interior usable space. These changes are requested in order to improve staging and coordination of the various activities and to provide noise abatement for apportion of the area that is currently outside and will be enclosed. The Planning Commission and staff recommended approval of the amendment to the conditional use permit with conditions because it met the conditions of the zoning code. Mr. Tom Tousignant of the Gun Club explained that the request is to build facilities that will include sound proofing. Mr. and Mrs. Richard McNamara, 10321 10th Street N., live near the Gun Club and find the noise to be excessive at times and said that it had increased. Mr. McNamara asked that the City consider methods to control the noise levels. The City Council discussed the necessity of having more information on the sound and soils on the Gun Club site as an additional condition to the Conditional Use Permit MOTION: Council Member Smith moved to table this agenda item until either the April 1st or April 15th Council meeting because the City had until April 21st to take action on the application. Council Member Johnson seconded the motion. Mayor Johnston and Council Members DeLapp, Johnson, Smith voted in favor of the motion with Council Member Park voting against the motion.
