Residents press board on proposed gun range noise and sanitary-district advisory board reform
Summary
During public comment at the Sept. 3 Board of Supervisors meeting, a resident objected to a proposed regional shooting range citing loudness calculations and disability impacts; another resident urged quick reformation of the Shenandoah Farms Sanitary District Advisory Committee to improve communication about a stalled road project.
Two public commenters raised distinct community concerns during the Warren County Board of Supervisors meeting on Sept. 3.
Jeff Baggarly, a North River District resident, told the board a proposed gun range in the area would significantly affect neighbors. Citing figures he said came from "Sheriff Butler's numbers," Baggarly said a proposed 80,000 rounds spread over 25 days would be roughly 3,200 rounds per day, or "about a shot about every 11.25 seconds." He said the sound could disrupt residents and families, including people with autism, and that the proposed range had affected his plans to build a house on nearby property.
Craig Tabor of Shandua Farms requested the board move quickly to reform the Shenandoah Farms Sanitary District Advisory Committee. Tabor said the longstanding Old Oak Road project has languished, that communication could improve, and he urged the board to reestablish the advisory committee as a conduit between property owners and the county. Supervisor Stanmeyer responded that the county is working on getting the advisory board constituted and has received several applications including Tabor's.
Neither public comment produced a board motion; both items were recorded in the meeting's public-comment period for future attention.
