Peltier stated that there never was a Special Use Permit issued to the club. They were grandfathered in. Mr. Crever, Building Inspector, commented at the last City Council meeting that there were two new skeet houses on the property. Mr. Hinton stated that that was correct, but all material and labor was donated keeping the cost to under $100.00. They felt that they didneed a building permit. Mr. Hinton stated that the skeet facilities were already there. They just built around them. Gillen stated that they were concerned with the matter of intensification. Mr. Prokosh said that they did not have permanent trap housesuntil 1971. Gillen stated that if they are grandfathered in, no improvements should be made. Dan Ford questioned the hours of operation, and Mr. Hinton replied 9 to 9. They obviously could not shoot in the dark. Mr. Ed Fashingbauer stated that he would have to get a building permit to construct a garage even if the material and labor were free. He also stated that any improvements to the facility would draw more people. Grace Axelson felt that after a conversation with a club member, they were trying to get as many members as they could possibly get. Ehret stated that the Commission should get a legal opinion as to what is considered an intensification. He also suggested that the club begin work on a Special Use Permit that will be needed January 11, 1978. b Motion made/McAllister, seconded by Ehret, that the secretary contact the city attorney requesting his opinion as to whether the construction of two skeet houses at the Bald Eagle Sportsmen Club would be considered intensification of that operation.

The Russetts are in the Conservancy district (20 acres). Mr. Peloquin will contact the city attorney and try and resolve the problem for the Russetts.
