The town of Turtle Plan Commission six to one to reject a conditional use permit for a shooting and sports club.
Matt Lewandowski, an Illinois resident who asked for the permit at 7220 Highway 67, said Wednesday the club would be a small, private group and that shooting wouldn’t take place every day.
He said members could treat it as a “weekend getaway” and wouldn’t shoot in the morning or evening. He hoped it could help veterans.
Residents weren’t convinced. Numerous people living in the nearby Foxhollow neighborhood and around the proposed location opposed the idea.
The commission agreed with residents and voted unanimously to reject the proposal. Commission member Bob Hanawell said a horse ranch nearby was another reason not to approve the permit.
