Request by Art Peterson for Preliminary Plat Approval (Star Lioht Estates), Public Hearino Case No. P 99-3 Staff report by Scott Harlicker. Art Peterson has requested preliminary plat of Star Light Estates, located on the north side of Meadowvale Road near the intersection of Pascal Street. Scott indicated that the request was postponed by the Planning Commission at their January 26th meeting because of issues regarding location of the future street and the affect of the plat on the St. Louis Park Gun Club. Scott reviewed the recommendations in the memo from Assistant Police Chief Jeff Beahen dated 2/5/99. Chair Cote opened the public hearing. . Harry Stevens, 387 196th Drive, representing the gun club, reviewed the history of the gun club operation and adoption of the firearms ordinance, as explained in his letter to the Planning Commission dated February 23, 1999.
