1OCT <br />6 1987 <br />BOOK 69 <br />PACE 604 <br />SHERIFF'S REQUEST TO USE OLD STUMP DUMP <br />FOR PISTOL RANGE <br />Memo from Planning Director Keating is as follows: <br />TO: Charles Balczun DATE: October 1, 1987 FILE: <br />County Administrator <br />SUBJECT: COMMENTS ON PROPOSED FIRING <br />RANGE AT OLD STUMP DUMP <br />C <br />FROM: Robert M. Keating, AICeREFERENCES: <br />Director <br />Community Development Division <br />Please be advised that the Planning Department has reviewed <br />the Sheriff's request to use the old stump dump as a firing <br />range. This review focused only on the zoning requirements <br />for the proposed use. <br />As indicated in the attached memo from Stan Boling to me, <br />the site is zoned A-1, and a firing range could be allowed <br />in that district as a special exception use. If the Board <br />gave approval to the Sheriff for use of the property as a <br />firing range, the Sheriff would need to request special excep- <br />tion approval for the use. This process involves submittal <br />of a conceptual site plan for the property and the approval <br />of the Board after.a recommendation from the Planning & Zoning <br />Commission (public hearings must be held by both the P&Z <br />and the Board). <br />As to the type of improvements which would be required for <br />the use, I could not determine those without more information <br />regarding the site and the proposed facility. In any case, <br />the Planning staff would provide the Sheriff with any assis- <br />tance possible, should the Board approve use of the property <br />for a firing range. <br />Commissioner Eggert wished to know just where the old stump <br />dump is located and was informed that it is at 74th Avenue and <br />4th St. <br />It <br />Commissioner Bird reviewed the long history of the range <br />situation, leading to the creation of the Firearms Range <br />Committee which he chairs. He reported that finding a suitable <br />=- location has been an almost impossible task and has taken them <br />out into -the more remote areas of the county. They have been <br />talking with St. John's Water Management District about having <br />the range -at the old Garcia ranch site, but this is not agreeable <br />26 <br />
