Agenda Item No. 1. The meeting was called to order at 7:37 P.M.
Agenda Item No. 2. SP-88-76. Victor R. Ray. (Deferred from December 15, 1976.) Mr.
Fisher sa~d the public hearing on this petition was held on December 15, in the applicant's
absence, because there were citizens present that night who requested that the public hearing
be held. Mr. Ray was present tonight so Mr. Tucker reviewed the staff's report and ended by
saying the Planning Commission has unanimously recommended denial of the petition. Mr.
Tucker noted receipt of a letter from Mr. John Massie, representing the Albemarle County
School Board, stating opposition to shooting matches on property adjoining ?M~rray Elementary
School property.
Mr. Ray said he wants to hold shooting matches one day per week during about three
months each year. He held one shooting match and the Sheriff came and inspected his facility
told him it must be 300 feet from the public road, so the shooting area was moved. It is now
300 feet from the road which leaves approximately 60 feet in which to shoot. Firing would be
toward the back of the School and not at the School playground.
Mr. Dorrier asked what safety precautions will be taken to insure that people will not
walk through the shooting area. Mr. Ray said he would not be able to stop people from
walking on school property~ but he has planned on erecting a fence of 4 ft. x 8 ft. 3/4"
plywood behind the targets.
Mrs. David Said she drove down the state highway along this property and there are a lot
of small lots with single-family homes, thus this seems to be too congested an area to allow
shooting. Mr. Ray said there will be no firing toward the houses. Mrs. David said she was
concerned about the children who live in the area.
Mr. Fisher said he has no objections to shooting matches, but with only 60 feet of land
on which to shoot, with a recommendation for denial from both the Planning Staff and the
Planning Commission and with the objections ra~sed by the School Board, he could not support
the petition. Mr. Henley agreed and offered motion to deny'SP-88-76 on the grounds given by
Mr. Fisher. The motion was seconded by Mrs. David and carried by the following recorded
vote:
AYES: Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
NAYS: None.
Agenda Item No. 3. SP-89-76. Willard E. Hall. (Deferred from December 15, 1976.)
