Memorandum <br /> / To: Scott H. <br /> • From: Jeff Beahen <br /> E 1k �•. <br /> r River Date: 02-05-99 <br /> Police Department Subject: St. Louis Park Sportsman Club <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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 723 • Elk River, MN 55330 • (612) 441-2324 • Fax (612) 441-8937 <br />
