River <br />November 5, 2021 <br />Steve Pullar <br />20343 Meadowvale Rd. NW <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />RE: State Statute Chapter 87A Shooting Ranges <br />Dear Mr. Pullar: <br />VIA EMAIL: stpullar@gmail.com <br />tolin@landform.net <br />Staff completed a review of the plat application with the city attorney and identified concerns with State <br />Statute Chapter 87A Shooting Ranges, which I have attached for your information. <br />Section 87A.04 (a) provides that the city shall not approve a new development withing 750 feet of the <br />permit property line of an outdoor shooting range if the development would cause the shooting range to <br />be out of compliance with the noise and other standards set forth in Chapter 87A. Section 87A.04 (b) <br />states that the applicant requesting an approval is responsible for providing mitigation to maintain <br />compliance for the shooting range, or documentation that no mitigation is required. <br />Section 87A.05 outlines the allowable noise levels for the operation of a shooting range. <br />Although a development may be compliant with city land use and zoning requirements, pursuant to <br />Chapter 87A, the city may not approve a plat if required documentation is not provided by the applicant. <br />Your preliminary plat is scheduled to be reviewed by the City Council on November 15, 2021. We will <br />continue with this schedule and add a condition of preliminary plat approval that the final plat cannot be <br />approved until the documentation required by Chapter 87A is received. <br />Please let me know if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />360-;-��7 <br />Chris Leeseberg Peter Beck <br />Senior Planner City Attorney <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />763.635.1000 <br />1 F"W"', 6 T <br />NAURE <br />ElkRiverMN.gov <br />
