October 16, ~q98 <br /> <br />[]ear Council Members, <br /> <br />Many of the residents of Traprock Street attended the <br />informal meeting at City Hall on October 15, 1998 concerning <br />noise problems near the Saint Anthony Gun Club. After much <br />discussion by our group and other neighborhood groups and <br />individuals at the meeting, a recommendation was made by <br />several people to at ]east close the area known as the <br />"Five Stand". This area is in the woods approximately 800 <br />feet from the the southern border of the Gun Club and from <br />Traprock Street. From these stands, costumers shoot <br />sporting clays primarily in a easterly direction which then <br />affects the neighbors to the east. <br /> <br />Mr. Bauer ultimately agreed to close the "Five Stand" area <br />in two weeks and keep it closed through the spring of 1999 <br />as a trial, to determine if that would resolve the noise <br />Issue. If not, it sounds like he may open that area back up <br />again. <br /> <br />This type of solution seems very tentative and lacks any <br />control whatsoever by the City or it's residents. The <br />surrounding community deserves more than lip service and <br />half promises. It has been there and has done that. Now, <br />as In the past, the Gun Club is regulated by 'no one. It <br />does as it pleases. It answers to nobody. The city council <br />needs to grow and keep pace with the times in this ever <br />growing City we call Ramsey. <br /> <br />We are asking at this time, for the City Councel to address <br />this issue by requiring the Gun Club to obtain a conditional <br />use permit as would be required by anyone else in the City <br />of ~amsey. <br /> <br />Thank you. We await your response. <br /> <br />Name A <br /> <br />Address <br /> <br /> <br />
