AMENDED SPECIAL USE PERMIT -- BAL 1) EAGLE SPORTSMEN ASSOCIATION A public hearing was held to consider the request of Bald Eagle Sportsmen's Association to amend their special use permit for operation of a shooting range in the east 1/2 of the southwest 1/4 of Section 33, T31, R21W. The amendments requested would allow construction of a 40' X 12' addition to an existing building on site to be used for equipment storage, allow for one DCM shoot in September, replacing a similar shoot authorized in October, and to clarify Item No. 21 of the current permit to allow for black powder firearms on the site. Mr. Gene Schutte, President of the association presented to the Planning commission with a history of the club, their current SUP, and other background information. Numerous area residents expressed their concern for construction of a permanent building for storage implying a more permanent use. They also suggested that there may have been a reason for the DCM shoot being held in October. Residents vehemently opposed the black powder firearms stating that the club was given the opportunity to shoot black powder firearms years ago and the club relinquished that right several years ago. Commission members suggested obtaining requirements from other communities regarding gun clubs, compiling complaints within the last 3 years, provide notices to area residents for review of SUP, determine why the DCM shoot was originally scheduled in October. Certain members requested a demonstration of the black powder firearms before they made a recommendation on this issue. Other residents supported the club stating that they are members and appreciate having the club in the area. The
