Jeff Schmitt: That is my piece. Unfortunately, I have read the state statute. I know where you can and can’t do, you 1 can discharge your fire arms and there is nothing that talks about the volume or velocity or the issues of noise, 2 unfortunately. 3 4 Larry Wright: And there is nothing that speaks to it with a gun, with an ordinance because guns are not included in 5 the noise ordinance. I think we are coming to some sort of consensus here with respect to staff’s decision. Is 6 anybody willing to make a motion? 7 8 MOTION made by Karen Barrows to uphold the 2014 rescinding order made by planning staff. Seconded by Mark 9 Micol. 10 VOTE: Unanimous 11 12 Jeff Schmitt: I don’t know whether you phrase this as a motion but I think there needs to be. I don’t know what the 13 basis by which you would be able to do this. I don’t know whether this board has the ability to decide to do that or 14 not. I think there needs to be further investigation by the staff of the area contained by the witnesses is the shooting 15 range. Physical presence on it, look at it, understand whether or not there are structures definitely on this thing to 16 see whether or not, given that, there would be a notice that would be reissued for whatever set of reasons. 17 18 Larry Wright: Mr. Bryan, can we put this in the form of a recommendation? 19 20 Jeff Schmitt: Does anybody else agree? 21 22 Larry Wright: I am trying to talk about the feasibility of moving forward. 23 24 David Blankfard: Staff needs to do their administrative search of the “shooting area”. 25 26 Mark Micol: What did Mr. Harvey say about a warrant? What was the term? An administrative search warrant. That 27 sounds like a step. 28 29 David Blankfard: He said he didn’t have enough evidence. 30 31 Mark Micol: Well, if he didn’t have enough evidence then, he is probably not going to have any going forward. 32 33 David Blankfard: Sworn testimony… 34 35 Jeff Schmitt: We have all this stuff here. 36 37 Mark Micol: What we have heard here tonight, he has already heard and he made the determination it wasn’t 38 warranted then so the question is do we have the power to compel him to do that? That is what he is asking. How 39 do we compel him to go out there and search the property and determine if what we heard tonight is factual. 40 41 James Bryan: If I may suggest, you all are affirming the rescinding letter. 42 43 Jeff Schmitt: The discussion we had since this is closed... the comment that Mark makes is, are we contradicting 44 ourselves. Well maybe we are but maybe there needs to be some catalyst or something that occurs that would allow 45 this to be re-investigated. 46 47 Mark Micol: They already said that up until the NOV was not warranted, right? So it is really going forward that if 48 they call Mr. Harvey’s office tomorrow … 49 50 49
