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
