From: Eric Renna To: Chris Anderson; Brian Hagen; Brian McCann Subject: Re: Peace Keepers Date: Wednesday,March 2,2022 3:05:21 PM Attachments: image001.png Hello Chris, We are writing this letter in regards to having on-going concerns about the standards of the current Level 1 HOP as well as multiple stipulations of the Level 2 HOP (Peace Keepers LLC)that are not being followed and codes are being violated. We strongly believe the Level 2 HOP should be denied and the Level 1 HOP approval should be revoked. They are not currently meeting the conditions of Level 1 and the proposed Level 2 HOP. We have noticed multiple vehicles parked at the pole barn and have attached numerous photos of vehicles coming and going on a regular basis three to five days a week. In the last two months there have been up to three vehicles parked outside the pole barn at the same time as seen in the attached photos. That same day at least two other cars or visitors came to the pole barn making it a total of five in one day. These things have been observed when driving past the residence several times daily on our way to and from work, school, and running errands. The information and photographic evidence submitted in this email represent only one and a half weeks of observation (February 18th-28th, 2022). We have continued to see a similar amount of traffic coming to and from the residence and most often the pole barn itself and even observed a white car parked at the pole barn just this morning March 2nd, 2022 at 9:08am. We are also concerned by the seeming lack of interest in enforcing the conditions of the Level 1 HOP. We and one other neighbor have called the police department to express our concerns on Feb 18th 2022. We read the letter from the Chief of Police Jeff Katers stating that he has no concerns about the Level 1 HOP application from the owner. In the letter from Police Chief Jeff Katers it also says"It might be in the business owner's interest to just let the neighbors know about the business, but can also see the security concerns of doing so."This sounds like he has no concerns about a gun store with multiple guns and ammo on the property being in a small neighborhood with children that only has one way in and out but more about the neighbors themselves posing security threats to the applicant if the neighbors are informed by the applicant selling firearms and ammunition. There has been blatant disregard by the residents to follow code and permit expectations. Respectfully, we do wonder at what point with the current violations will the city council step in? I have also attached highlighted sections stating the city's ability to revoke the current Level 1 HOP and to deny new application for Level 2 HOP and would like to get some feedback on the specifics of this standard if possible. Our hope is also that the city council could revisit the current standards to have retail sales of firearms and ammunition as a home occupation in addition to getting more follow up on these very serious concerns, as well code violations. We appreciate your time, patience and understanding in this situation. Please let us know if you have any additional questions for us. We look forward to hearing back from you at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, Eric and Laura Renna 2 cars in 2-24-22 walking in barn.jpg N 2 different cars 2-15-22.jpg OR]]2 to 3 cars 2-18-22.'
