Planning Commission Minutes — June 14, 2007 Page 5 Bailly agreed with Ron and did not believe the noise level would be going up. Rosenquist said the site plan only showed so many ranges. McRoberts said it would depend on whether all lanes were always in use. Rosenquist asked staff about the taxes. The CDD responded that the uses on the property were different and he had not spoken to the City Assessor about it. McRoberts asked how the City enforced the CUP. The CDD explained the CUP was reviewed on a bi-annual basis, and enforcement on a complaint driven basis; it was clear the neighbors were paying attention to the club. McRoberts questioned increased membership. The CDD explained BESA had the right to increase membership, and should the legislation change and the existing CUP become enforceable again, the City would be in the position of requiring BESA comply by eliminating some members. Rosenquist asked about alcohol consumption and if the NRA addressed it. Al Savage said he was not sure it was enforceable, and common sense says you do not do it. Rosenquist asked about lead shot and how BESA would increase membership. Savage said new members would be phased in. Hugo residents were put on the top of the list, and there were 15-20 Hugo residents on the list with approximately 60 Hugo residents as members. Lead abatement had been done approximately four times, and the DNR was looking for people to do it. He said some studies have shown lead shot oxidizes over time. Schumann questioned how to deal with the noise compliance issue in a fair manner and wondered how other clubs dealt with it. The CDD said the CUP was reviewed December 1 of the even numbered years, and noise compliance could be checked at renewal. McRoberts suggested denying the amendment to the CUP and adding a provision they prohibit the sale or use of alcohol. McRoberts made motion to deny the request for an amended Conditional Use Pen -nit for Bald Eagle Sportsman Association.
