HomeMy WebLinkAbout057 Lili StoryZON18-00036 Greetings Planning Commissioners, I request that you deny the permit to build an outdoor shooting facility--recreational or otherwise--in the location proposed by Joe d'Amico adjacent to Tarboo Lake; or at least require the facility to be completely indoors.  Allowing an outdoor shooting range to manifest in this particular location would be an environmental and social outrage. Not only would it chemically pollute precious salmon habitat--which I have helped to restore by planting trees--it would also create massive noise pollution for countless residents in the area. Should this shooting range be built I would hear the results forever; which is infuriating given that one of the primary reasons I chose to live here is that it's quiet.  Giving way to the creation of such a facility goes in direct defiance of the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan. We all voted you into your positions of power with the faith that you would be honorable and follow through with the plan for the region.  If you sacrifice the community's well being in favor of a private, for-profit gun range monstrosity; you condemn a valuable watershed and fail countless families in the greater Tarboo area--people who have given their time and money for years to help restore and preserve our beautiful ecosystem.  Do not waste that investment, do not break our trust. If you give this individual what he wants, others like him will follow. This is your chance to close the gates. This is your chance to uphold the ideals of the community and the plan; to keep this place safe and pristine for all living beings. I expect you to do this. I demand that you do this. I want to live the rest of my life here, and I want to spend it hearing birds, not bullets.  Thank you, Lili Story Lili Story <spirit.of.the.woods@gmail.com> Thu 11/15/2018 11:04 PM To:Planning Commission Desk <PCommissionDesk@co.jefferson.wa.us>; Page 1 of 1ZON18-00036 -Planning Commission Desk 11/16/2018https://owa.co.jefferson.wa.us/owa/
