City Council meeting of June 15, 1998 Page 4 Barnes quoted from a Club handout, stating that a muzzleloader's sound lasts longer, thereby more annoying to residents. Mayor Miron felt that the use of muzzleloaders would intensify the use of the Club. Goiffon thought the City should allow muzzleloaders on a trial basis, limiting them to a certain numbers of days a year, to see if there is indeed a problem with their use. Won made motion, Barnes seconded, to deny the request of the BESA for the use of muzzleloaders at their site. VOTING AYE: Arcand, Barnes, Miron VOTING NAY: Goiffon Motion Carried. It was determined the request for the 200 -yard range would not intensify use of the property. Miron made motion, Goiffon seconded, to reinstate Condition 13 of the Club's SUP to allow construction and use of a 200 -yard range, subject to berming of the site for noise abatement. All aye. Motion Carried. SEWER AND WATER PETITION Residents owning five properties on 129th Street, along the north end of Bald Eagle Lake, petitioned the City for extension of sewer and water services to their property. The request is based on the proposed construction of the lift station on Ethan Avenue to serve the Woods of Bald Eagle subdivision. If the City Council wishes to entertain the petition, staff recommended preparation of a feasibility report for the extension of municipal services to these properties. There was also discussion regarding road improvements in conjunction with extension of utilities; additional easements would probably need to be required. Miron made motion, Barnes seconded, to accept the petition and direct staff to prepare a rough cost estimate, meet with affected property owners, and make a report to the City Council. All aye. Motion Carried. Jim Kellison asked that the City contact the Sheriff's Department and ask that the enforce the existing NO PARKING regulation on the north side of 129th Street, east of the bridge. FIRE HALL CONTRACT The Council considered a proposed contract between the City of Hugo and Loeffel-Engstrand Corporation for construction of a new Fire Hall in the community. Brian Loeffel was present at the meeting, to respond to a letter from a Hugo resident regarding his experience as a subcontractor with this firm.
