Dear Jefferson County Planning Commission,
My husband and I attended the public hearing on November 7, 2018 concerning the proposed shooting
range. We were struck by the heartfelt testimonies of the residents in the area, the folks who will be most
greatly impacted by noise of the proposed gun range. Some of these folks were in tears. Who we didn’t
hear from were the wildlife and the precious land that will also be brutally affected.
There is already a firing range in East Jefferson Country off of Jacob Miller Road. I can personally attest
to the disturbance to the peace and quiet of the area from the Gun Club there. We considered buying a
home at the northern end of Jacob Miller Road but the noise from the firing range was too invasive and
something we could not live with. The sound of gunshot carries for miles and is counterproductive to a
peaceful and healthy community of humans and wildlife.
I was surprised to learn at the meeting that our county does not have a code ordinance officer to impose
noise and other regulations. It seems that because we are in the country we can be taken advantage of,
our rural lifestyle destroyed by an outsider that is looking to make a buck at the expense of our
community.
Please do not let ZON18-0036 go through. The firing range and helicopter pad would create a real
hardship for the residents and destroy the quality of life for everyone in the area.
Thank-you,
Susan Hanover
