All aye. Motion carried. White Bear Rod and Gun Club Chairman Spitzer presented copy of updated version of Special Use Permit Conditions that were attached to original Special Use Permit issued to :white Bear Rod & Gun Club, for members' consideration. Spitzer explained that this updated version was drafted by himself and Bill Schwab, Washington County Planner, and that no condition, from the original' Special Use Permit has been changed; simply up- dated. He cited Condition #1 as an example. The original condition states that construction of fence is to be completed by September 1, 1974 - revised draft says fence shall be properly maintained in this condition at all times. Peltier referred to Condition A�4 - says on Sundays their shooting must terminate at 6:0o P.m. - oftentimes they are still shooting at 7:30 and 8:00 F.M. Spitzer said this is police matter and should be reported to p9lice. Peloquin said he doesn't feel this overhaul of the conditicv+s is proper at this time - strongly in favor of acting in favor of Item #2 only and then making the revisions deemed proper at the time of the annual review. Spitzer explained that this is a new special Use Permit and the rnnual review would not be held for one year after issuance of the new Permit. Peloquin said that in view of the fact that the White Bear Rod & Gun Club is involved in a lawsuit which could go to the Supreme Court feels that if City of Hugo does not issue them a Special Use Permit- City of Hugo might get involved in the lawsuit which could be extrer^ely costly for the City. Peloquin further stated that he felt the conditions were changed to the extent that a public hearing should be called and he Is not in favor of another rublic hearing. Ehret said the original Special Use Permit was declared null and void and does not exist so there can not be an annu=i1 review. He feels action can be taken on these conditions at this time and then make these conditions subject to an annual review: Peltier asked that the words 40 dbs. be returned to condition ;98 as stated in the original conditions if this document is to be considered. Spitzer agreed. Spitzer said the choices open to the Planning Commission are as follows: 40 1) Recommend to the. City Council that the jIhite Bear Rod & Gun Club SPOcial Use Permit be denied.
