We are writing to voice our deep concern about the ordinance recently
passed by the BOCC concerning commercial shooting facilities. We are
opposed to ANY outdoor shooting facilities being allowed on public or
private land.
We lived in the Quilcene area for 35 years, 5 years in town and 30 years in a
house we built off of Lakenes Road. One of the things we treasured most
about our time in Quilcene was the peace and quiet that prevailed nearly all
the time. That quiet would be denied to any people living near an outdoor
shooting facility. People who have lived for years in the rural county would
want to move away from these facilities but, at the same time, their
property values would be diminished because of them. There would also be
a devastating impact on birds and other wildlife which are precious assets
to many who live in the country.
Strictly controlled indoor shooting facilities would mitigate the noise issue.
More importantly, it is unnecessary for Jefferson County to provide places
for military and para-military training. We have military bases where this
training is infinitely more appropriate.
We hope that you will revisit this ordnance as well as the whole concept of
military and para military training on private or public lands in Jefferson
County.
Thank you,
Meg Snow
