It is recommended that on the plan provide a note be provided which states that there is no outdoor lighting proposed. The following comments are from the 11 -13 -12 PC meeting. During which concerns of lead mitigation, safety, noise, eyebrows and berms were discussed. 10. [11 -13 -12 PC Meeting] It was stated that; "The Firearms Range site plan does not impact the cap. It does not cut into it." However on sheet CE -110 it appears that there is some grading occurring on the landfill. Is this necessary or can the site be designed to avoid this? 11. [11 -13 -12 PC Meeting] It was stated that; "Eyebrows are a wooden structure that go on top of the impact area of the berms and the backstop that prevent lead rounds from ricocheting out and leaving the range. While they were not shown on the preliminary site plan, they will be shown on the final site plan." The final site plan does not depict eyebrows atop the berms. Revise site plan to provide eye brows or some other approved method to address this concern. 12. [11 -13 -12 PC Meeting] Discussions of the firing line not being depicted on the prelim site plan. The firing line design was a concern at the meeting. This is the place from which the sound comes where the muzzle is or where the sound originates. There are a number of best practice designs that can be implemented at the firing line to both mitigate noise and to increase the unlikelihood that a stray bullet would going over the berm. The final site plan does not depict a firing line. Revise site plan to provide firing lines or some other approved method to address this concern.
