<br />// ~( <br /> <br />. I <br /> <br />'. <br />EII{~ <br /> <br />..~ Memorandum <br /> <br />,~...." <br />, ) <br /> <br /> <br />To: Scott H. <br />From: Jeff Beahen <br /> <br />Police Department <br /> <br />Date: 02-05-99 <br />Subject: St. Louis Park Sportsman Club <br /> <br />Per your request, I reviewed the memo received from the club regarding the <br />request by Art Peterson to subdivide a 16-acre parcel. <br /> <br />I would strongly urge the city not to be involved in any form of public notification <br />which would alert private parties that their property is within 250 feet of the <br />existing gun range. To do so would in my mind, clearly illustrate that the city is <br />not only aware of the potential problem, but could potentially open the city up to <br />vicarious liability. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />It would be in our best interest to either encourage the gun range to move their <br />range inwards towards their central property area, or to allow the plat to move <br />forward. In that case we would be best off being up front with the owner and <br />inform him that no additional subdivision would occur unless there was a buffer <br />or undeveloped area which would exist between the range and the platted <br />property . <br /> <br />The best solution all around, would be to have the gun range purchase the <br />property 250 feet wide along the north border of the platted area. This way they <br />would be insured that all future development taking place on the remaining <br />outlot would be in compliance with our existing ordinance. Hopefully Mr. <br />Peterson would be agreeable to selling off that portion of property to the gun <br />club at a reasonable price. It obviously would result in a win-win situation for <br />both interests. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />]3065 Orono Parkway. P.O. Box 723. Elk River, MN 55330. (612) 441-2324. Fax (612) 441-8937 <br />
