7030.0040 NOISE STANDARDS.
Subpart 1. Scope. These standards describe the limiting levels of sound established
on the basis of present knowledge for the preservation of public health and welfare. These
standards are consistent with speech, sleep, annoyance, and hearing conservation
requirements for receivers within areas grouped according to land activities by the noise
area classification (NAC) system established in part 7030.0050. However, these standards
do not, by themselves, identify the limiting levels of impulsive noise needed for the
preservation of public health and welfare. Noise standards in subpart 2 apply to all sources.

High frequency sounds of 24,000 Hz are the most clarnaging. The uppermost octave of the
piccolo is 2,0484,096 Hz.
Aging causes gradual hearing loss, mostly in the high frequencies,

Decibel (Loudness) Compari Chart Page 3 of 3
So
- Speech reception is not seriously impaired until there is about 30 dB loss; by that time severe
damage may have occurred.
• Hypertension and various psychological difficulties can be related to noise exposure.
• The incidence of hearing loss in classical musicians has been estimated at 4-43%, in rock
musicians 13-30%.
Recent NIOSH studies of sound levels from weapons fires have shown that they may range
from a low of 144 dB SPL for small caliber weapons such as a 0.22 caliber rifle to as high as
a 172 dB SPL for a 0.357 caliber revolver. Double ear protection is recommended for
shooters, combining soft, insertable car plugs and external car muffs.
Statistics for the Decibel (Loudness) Comparison Chart were taken from a study by Marshall Chasin
M.Sc., Aud(C), FAAA, Centre for Human Performance & Health, Ontario, Canada. There were some
conflicting readings and, in many cases, authors did not specify at what distance the readings were
taken or what the musician was actually playing. In general, when there were several readings, the
higher one was chosen.

originally Grindstone Construction Services. They modified their application. There you go,
thank you. To note that Midwest Armory, Limited Liability Company will be the actual entity
running this operation and so they filled out the, re -filed the application for that. CSM Investors
are the property owners and management company for this development. The Planning
SCANNED

Chanhassen City Council — October 26, 2015
Commission held a public hearing on October 6, 2015 to review the proposed development. At
that time the applicant presented an extensive review of how the actual construction activity and
the safety and sound proofing of the facility would be done. The Planning Commission voted 5
to 0, 5 for and zero against a motion to recommend approval of the conditional use permit.
Property is located at 18832 Lake Drive East. This is on the east side of town just off of Dell
Road and Highway 5. It's the third building in on the, in the CSM development out there and
it's actually the comer, northeast comer unit within the building. This is located within
Hennepin County. It's one of the few areas of the community that are in Hennepin County. The
property is zoned industrial office park and conditional, indoor gun ranges are a conditional use
permits within the IOP District. In 2011 the City did amend our city code to make it a
conditional use in this district. At that time we had someone that was interested but they never
came forward so it's been dormant until recently. Again the proposed location of this facility
would be in the northeast comer of an existing building. The total building square footage is
64,000 square feet. They're taking about 15,000 square feet. Currently there's 34,000 square
feet of this building that's vacant so there's additional vacant space just to the south of where
they're proposing to go in. Again this is a breakdown. The existing users on the west end of the
building. They're going in the northeast comer and there would be additional space for tenants
south of this unit. As part of their construction they will be required to sound proof it and make
it safe so that all the ammunition that would be fired in there and all the noise would be
contained to the unit. One of the things we looked at in reviewing this was the amount of
parking that was existing out there. Staff went to the site when, one afternoon in there were I I
vehicles parked and they have over 140 around the building so. This is a generalized schematic
layout of the facility that they're proposing. The majority of the unit, about a third of it would be
in the gun range itself and then they would have classrooms, common area. Some retail space
within the middle of the place and then membership. Seating and lounge areas. The commercial
or retail area that they're proposing would be in the store front area and it represents less than 20
percent of their total space so really it's the services that they're providing. The training and the
gun range are the primary use of this facility. Staff is recommending approval of the CUP for
Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen East Business Center 2' Addition subject to conditions of approval
in the Planning Commission staff report and adoption of the Findings of Fact that the Planning
Commission had done before. With that I'd be happy to answer any questions.
Mayor Laufenburgcr: Alright, thank you Mr. Generous. Just as, for the record there was a, this
item came before the Planning Commission, was it last month?
Bob Generous: October Oh.
Mayor Laufenburger: October 6th and at that time there was discussion. There was also a public
hearing at that time is that correct?
Bob Generous: Tlat's correct.

Mayor Laufenburger: Let's see, before I have the applicant come forward is there any questions
of staff by council?
Councilman Campion: Not at this time.
Mayor Laufenburger: Well prepared Mr. Generous. I just have the one. If we give approval to
this, will this come back before the council again?
Bob Generous: Only if we're tying to void it.
Mayor Laufenburger: But the assumption is that all of the findings, all of the conditions will be
met by the applicant is that correct?
Bob Generous: Oh yes. Yes.
Mayor Laufenburger: And who's responsible for insuring that the applicant meets all of those
conditions?
Bob Generous: The staff will review it as part of the building permit application. That they
have, meet all those standards. Additionally we will rely on any complaint that we receive out
there and then work with the applicant to address any of that.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay. Bob would you do me a favor and would you bring back, there.
That one right there. What is north?
Bob Generous: North would be to the right.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay, so in fact the gun range is in an interior portion of the building as
opposed to against an exterior portion of the building, is that correct?
Bob Generous: That's correct.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay. Alright. Thank you for that clarification. Is the applicant with us
tonight? And if so would you like to address the council? Not required but I welcome you to do
so if you'd like. Please state your name and your address.

Mayor Laufenburger: The inside, is that correct?
Jeff Berends: That's correct,
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay, and who's that with You?
Chris Schutrop: Sure. My name is Chris Schutrop from Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
Mayor Laufenburger: And you are, you will be the manager or the proprietor the space, is that
correct?
Chris Schutrop: Correct. I'm one of the partners. I'm one of the owners of the facility, yes.
Mayor Laufenburger: Great. Grindstone, is that correct? So talk a little bit about, can you help
us with the, answering the question how are you going to keep the sound out?
Jeff Bcrends: Well there's a couple different parameters that we're required to do. Sound being
one of them. Also controlling the lead vapors that's required from the EPA, the County, that's
all registered through all that. Thirdly the actual sound is deaden by certain, certain insulation
panels that the system that we're using has enforced- I can show a couple different.
Mayor Laufenburger: Yeah there's a camera right above you if you just, if you want to place it
rightoverthat. Right down there, exactly. So there are panels that the, whoever is on the range
they've very close to proximity to where the weapon is shot, is that correct?
Jeff Berends: Exactly. There's sound panels on the side. There's also sound panels
approximately 10 feet down the range which will absorb the sound and then the actual, we're
actually build, construct a building within a building. The masonry walls are surrounding the
actual range and so they're all solid filled, core filled masonry walls and then within that there's
steel panels that help guide the actual bullet down to a containment system which is steel plate
and then it funnels down into a containment where the actual lead is in essence harvested and
then recycled.
Mayor Laufenburger: Wonderful, wonderful. Mr. Schutrop, can I ask you a couple questions?
Chris Schutrop: Absolutely.
Mayor Laufenburger: This is a, Mr. Generous made mention of somebody who was thinking
about this back in 2011. Was that you?
Chris Schutrop: That was not us, no.
Mayor Laufenburger: It was not you, okay.

Chanhassen City Council — October 26, 2015
Chris Schutrop: It must have been another.
Mayor Laufenburger: So can you talk a little bit about, I know there's a, there seems to be kind
of a pent up demand for this. Can you talk a little bit about why you chose Chanhassen for this
and how will it be used besides just individual recreational people that will want to use it?
Chris Schutrop: Sure, absolutely. That's a fantastic question. So to address a little bit about the
geographic area is that if you look at the Twin Cities area on a map there's only a handful of
ranges in the United States and inside Minnesota we're only looking at about 5 public facilities
and what that's done is it's created sort of a bottle neck and specifically when we look at the
actual overlay onto a, like a Twin Cities area map, there's this large voided region and that's the
entire southwest metro and as a result the residents who want to go out there and practice and go
somewhere safe to do this, or you're forced to go out into some farm field you know way outside
city limits or they're forced to drive across town. So simply what we're doing is we're just
looking at the market overall and saying people want to have this. We want to go out there and
provide a place so that they can safely go out there and shoot. Where they can go out there and
get educated in a workplace that they can go out there and train from that. Really when we're
talking about who's going to be using this facility, it's a number of different organizations so it's
everything from private individuals who are gun owners. Just want to do this for fun. To the
other side of the spectrum which would be other businesses. So there's a number of private
security organizations that want to utilize this as well as some very high level conversations at
this point with organizations like the U.S. Marshal service and a couple other law enforcement
agencies who are looking at potentially finding a place where they can go out there and get an
adequate heated facility, especially during the winter months inside of that.
Mayor Laufenburger: Of course.
Chris Schutrop: Yeah one of them being Hennepin County Sheriff. Talking to Sheriff Stanek
about that and we've had very brief conversations with Sheriff Jim Olson as well so yes. Did
that answer your question sir9
Mayor Laufenburger: It does.
Chris Schutrop: Ahight.
Mayor Laufenburger: Just one more question. As with anything of this nature I would think that
there are competitions where a rifle club or a team of people may gather and become a team so
will you have a team at, what will the name of this place be called?
Chris Schutrop: Sure so the actual legal entity itself is Midwest Armory Shooting Center. The
trade name, the DBA is Stock and Barrel.
14
0 9
Chanhassen City Council — October 26, 2015
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay. So will there be a Stock and Barrel shooting team that may
compete with other shooting teams around the metropolitan area or even the region or the
nation?
Chris Schutrop: Sure so we won't actually have our own organization if you will inside that but
what we'll do is we'll host a number of other organizations. The NRA has a number of
competitions around there as well as organizations of the USPSA or IBPA which are groups of
individuals who are just dedicated to having fun shooting and doing it safely so our facility's
going to be open for individuals and groups like that to basically give them a facility where they
can come. They can do it in a safe environment and really accommodate those needs so it will
be a good hub for everyone around.
Mayor Laufenburger: Now training. Will you also offer, win somebody be able to use your
facility for gun safety training for young people that want to, families want to make sure their
kids are learning the proper use of firearms. Will you do that as well?
Chris Schutrop: Yep, absolutely. So really our, my background is firearms education. I had a
large national firearms training organization. That's how I got started in the industry then
branched out from there to a couple other ventures but the first thing we'll start out with is the
basic Minnesota Firearms Safety Course that the DNR requires and that we encourage for really
anyone out there to go out and take, and it's all 100 percent centered around safety. So not
learning anything as far as how do you become an excellent marksman but really that base level
of safety, right. Additionally on top of that we'll have third party organizations that want to go
out there and teach their particular curriculum. Maybe they do conceal and carry classes and
we'll have classrooms and obviously the range for their use on top of that, and we'll also have
some in -houses courses available for our customers as well.
Mayor Latifenburger: Great. Well thank you Mr. Schutrop for coming forward with this idea
and Jeff, supporting him with your construction. Thank you very much. Any questions for
either or diem? Councilwoman Ryan.
Councilwoman Ryan: Yes Mayor, Actually I have a few questions for you. I know there was
the public hearing and you went, had a long discussion with the Planning Commission. However
I don't know how much that was followed because I have received a number of questions for
excuse the redundancy from the Planning Commission but just to let people know what this, you
know what your facility is going to be about. Mayor asked about some of the noise concerns as
well as you know the sound proofing. How do you go about the sound proofing from not only
when the bullets, you know when you capture the bullet traps I think is what it's called as well as
the sound of the fircarm. What are you doing for the sound proofing there?
Chris Schutrop: Sure, absolutely. That's a fantastic question so first off we're lucky enough to
be partnered with Grindstone who's actually built 3 ranges here in Minnesota in the past couple
of years and basically you know when you look over the past 40 years of range development. It
15
0 0
Chanhassen City Council — October 26, 2015
started out from a basically a pile of dirt in a field to sort of what it is today and what we're
building and that's essentially the first thing we were looking at containing the noise is, like Jeff
was saying. We're building a building within the building so we have our normal structure and
then on top of that we are actually putting essentially a sarcophagus. A concrete and steel
sarcophagus that really does two things. It first contains the projectiles completely 100 percent
and it also contains the noise. So the entire right to sell inside the actual building has 8 inch
thick concrete walls that are steel reinforced so 8 inches is a lot of medium, especially something
hard like concrete for noise to escape. On top of that what we go up there and do is apply a lot of
sound proofing materials that industry wide. So back in the shooting area where people actually
stand in the lanes and they shoot from it's all encapsulated with acoustic foam. Somewhat like
what you would see in recording studio and basically what the end result is that outside
sarcophagus still indoors. You're looking at about 40 to 50 decibels so right now we're probably
talking close to 65 and 70 decibels. It does an excellent job of containing the noise. When you
go actually outside the building I would be shocked if there was actually anyway to actually hear
it coming out there and that's sort of based off of a recent range they built up in Ramsey called
Toe the Fence where you know the law enforcement got the same concerns about, and when they
went out there they ironically next to them about 2 yards away with a child care facility and
when the law enforcement officers actually brought the decibel readers, the child care facility
was putting off more noise than the actual range was.
Mayor Laufenburger: Those kids.
Chris Schutrop: Those kids right. Those darn kids so reallyjust the advancements in technology
around building ranges and then sort of taking care of noise and really trying to contain that has
been perfected over the years. The standard stereotype, I mean I grew up in Chanhassen right by
Moon Valley and you could hear people going out there and shooting because it's an outdoor
range but that, the nice thing is that the way that we're constructing it it's completely contained
inside that and there's a conditional use permit that basically keeps us accountable to that. So if
there is an issue we're required to go out there and address that issue but we don't anticipate
doing that from the way that we're engineering that and the organization which is SRI. They've
built hundreds of ranges around the world. They're the ones who actually engineered the range
for us. Had the plans that we were talking about in our planning meeting last time. They were
masters of that.
Councilwoman Ryan: Okay.
Chris Schutrop: Yep.
Councilwoman Ryan: I'm going to keep going if you don't here. Then also noted that you have
a range safety officer who is certified. Do they work the range? Are they in the building?. How
does that work and what's that process like.
16

Chanhassen City Council — October 26, 2015
Chris Schutrop: Sure so one thing that we want to be very, very mindful of is safety. That's the
most important thing out there so what we have in our standard operating procedures is that
actually every single one of our employees, whether they're sitting at the front desk. Whether
they're you know scrubbing toilets at the end of the day, which will probably end up being me,
or whether you know it's a person who's actually in the range keeping an eye on people, they're
all certified range safety officers through the National Rifle Association which is a certification
process and a curriculum they go through so that range safety officer is sort of an open ended
question to a degree because everyone that is going to be staff is going to have that certification.
Additionally we have a number of volunteers who basically in exchange for range time can go
out there and sort of hang out in the range bay and you know part of it's to keep safety within
that but every single person who goes into that range is required to watch a safety training video.
That's about 15 minutes long and it briefs them on how our procedures are.
Councilwoman Ryan: Required by law or required by your facility?
Chris Schutrop: Required by us. By our policy. There's no law that but it doesn't mean that
you shouldn't go out there and do it obviously it's just common sense. So on top of that we'll
actually have individuals in there keeping a mind on safety but also to go out there and there's a
lot of people who shoot but maybe haven't shot in a while and they're sort of there to lend a hand
in any way possible from that so.
Councilwoman Ryan: And then in terms of the monitoring with, obviously people could bring in
their own guns and ammunition so who checks the guns and the ammunition to make sure that,
I'm sure that the bullet traps are certified for certain caliber of the ... so who's monitoring that to
make sure they're within the range?
Chris Schutrop: Sure. There's a specific check in area that we have. We call it the range desk
and basically they're the gate keepers to the actual range.
Councilwoman Ryan: So that goes, they're there before they go into the range?
Chris Schutrop: Yep. So they go in there and that also happens to be a point of sale as well so
basically when someone brings in their own ammunition, the types of traps we're using, a lot of
ranges actually use rubber berm traps that basically chunked up tires in the back. The problem is
is that those can start on fire so our range traps are actually solid steel which obviously steel
doesn't start on fire. It's what everyone is going to and a majority of all law enforcement ranges
are switching over to. So because they're steel we're very cautious about what kind of
ammunition in there because we don't want steel core ammunition which can dent it up so
basically every single round that comes in there gets inspected and it's a very complex system.
We have a magnet and basically you wipe over it and if it sticks you can't bring that in there and
we have ammunition varies calibers for individual.

Chanhassen City Council — October 26, 2015
Councilwoman Ryan: So if it's not right do you have them put it in their car? Do they, I mean
they don't bring it into the range right?
Chris Schutrop: Yeah they're not allowed to bring it in so basically we'll take them, and we
could hold onto it for them or they can bring it to their car but we're not going to let them take
that in.
Councilwoman Ryan: Take it in.
Chris Schutrop: Under the oh yeah, I won't shoot it kind of a premise so we're very mindful.
We want to protect our couple hundred thousand dollar investment in our bullet traps so yeah.
Councilwoman Ryan: Okay. I'm still going here. I'm not familiar, I've not been to an indoor
gun range before.
Chris Schutrop: That's quite abight.
Councilwoman Ryan: So what is the policy for people staying within their lane? Are they, once
they're in the gun range are they free to move about? Do they stay in the, their specific lane?
How is that monitored or managed?
Chris Schutrop: Sure, so basically when a person goes in they're renting a lane right? So you
have bays which is sort of a group or a, there we go. That's perfect. So this is like a bay for
example and each bay have multiple lanes inside of there. Now once someone goes out there
and they shoot they might be by themselves and they be with 2 or 3 other friends. 3 is the
maximum that we allow per lane right. So what we want to go out there and do is that they can
move about. They can hop out and go to the bathroom or what have you but that gun can't be
unattended and also once that gun goes there and it's taken out of the case, which is only done at
the actual fiting point, they don't get to walk around with that and stroll about right. If they want
to change out to do a different gun or leave or what have you, it gets put back in it's case up at
the firing line and then whatever else is done at that point so people can move about inside of
there and stuff.
Councilwoman Ryan: Ahight.
Chris Schutrop: Our main concern is what, where are the guns at right now so that's why we
have that strict policy that they stay sort of on that firing line or they're basically cased and
closed off.
Councilwoman Ryan: Okay. And then the, thank you for the explanation on all of this. The
biggest area of concern for me really is the retail area. I just wanted to familiarize myself with
some of the safety protocols that you had within the range. But in terms of the retail element of
your business, when people want to rent guns, what information do they need to provide you? If
M

Chanhassen City Council — October 26, 2015
people want to purchase guns or ammunition, what type of documentation and background
checks, what is that process from your end and then Mr. Generous I'd ask the same. I read
somewhere that the City also can provide documentation for providing permits to shoot guns so
1, if someone could just familiarize me with that please.
Chris Schutrop: Sure, great question. So for buying guns the, there's obviously a very strict set
of laws that is governed by the ATF. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. If you
want to go out there and buy a gun in Minnesota, there's sort of a couple different classifications
but we'll generalize it and we'll say a long gun which means you have to be above 18 years old
and you have to go through an FBI background check called the 4473. That's issued by the
ATF. Basically you fill out an extensive form. Sign it and then we go out there and we call the
Nick's Background Check Center in West Virginia and they run an instant background check on
that individual. Standard operating procedure, Gander Mountain, Cabela's, you name it. That's
what they have to do by law, right. If someone wants to go out there and purchase a handgun for
example, Minnesota law dictates that they have to go out there and get one of two things. Either
a permit to purchase, which is issued by for example Carver County Sheriff or a permit to carry
which is also issued by law enforcement, the sheriff s department. Basically what that is is the
same background check in essence and basically certified to do that so it's sort of double dipping
with the background check process but everyone who goes through and buys a gun is going to be
going through the federal law and state law on how we go about going and doing that and that
msures that there are zero mcidences where things can fall between the cracks right. To answer
your second question about, or first off did that answer your question?
Councilwoman Ryan: Yes.
Chris Schutrop: Okay. Yep to answer your second question about gun rentals which we will do
because a lot of people want to go out there and buy a gun and they don't know where to start
and it's kind of like brand new luxury cars when you buy it and then you take it off the lot. It
drops in value so you want to try it out first right. We go out there and require people to go
ahead and get a permit to purchase or a permit to carry and that way when they put that down
they'll be able to see okay well they have this. They currently hold this which means that they
got the sign off from law enforcement to be able to go out there and own a gun so we can let
them go ahead and rent said gun inside of that.
Councilwoman Ryan: So they're going to go through, is it Carver County or will it be the City
to get?
Chris Schutrop: They can go through any law enforcement agency. For example like
Bloomington police department will issue permit to purchases.
Councilwoman Ryan: Okay.

Chanhassen City Council — October 26, 2015
Chris Schutrop: Permits to carry are always issued by the County in which you reside so like
Hennepin County or Carver County and once you have those permits they're usually good
between I and 5 years so permit to purchase is I year. Permit to carry are good for 5 years.
Councilwoman Ryan: So the permit to purchase is then, you'll require that in order for them to
rent a gun to shoot at your range.
Chris Schutrop: Yep, correct and they keep that in their wallet. It's essentially like a card with
their name on it.
Councilwoman Ryan: Okay.
ChrisSchutrop: And then wejust go out there and we compare that to the ID piece there and
then that sort of satisfies us as far as you know alright some individual, we know that they have
been vetted already.
Councilwoman Ryan: Okay.
Chris Schutrop: So yes.
Councilwoman Ryan: Thank you. No more putting you in the hot seat but I appreciate all your
information and answers. You're very knowledgeable so I appreciate it.
Chris Schutrop: Well thank you. Thank you.
Mayor Laufenburger: Any other questions of either Mr. Schutrop or Jew. Okay, thank you very
much. We did have a, you're welcome to sit down if you like. Thank you very much. There
was a public hearing but I see some people in attendance tonight that may choose to speak either
for or against this. I would like to invite Representative Cindy Pugh with us tonight. Is there
some things that you wanted to say Representative? State your name and address please.
Representative Cindy Pugh: Thank you Mr. Mayor and council members. My name is Cindy
Pugh and my husband Jack and I live at 260 Mountain View Court.
Mayor Laufenburger: Here in Chanhassen.
Representative Cindy Pugh: In Chanhassen.
Mayor Laufenburger: Thank you Cindy.
Representative Cindy Pugh: So yes. Yes, thank you Mr. Mayor and council members. I'm just
really appreciative of this opportunity to address you. I'm just so pleased to be herein support of
this brand new, modem indoor shooting range right here in Chanhassen. I know I don't have to
20

Chanhassen City Council — October 26, 2015
tell you of the economic benefits to such a business growing our City's tax base. For over 28
years and counting my husband Jack and I have been proud to live in Chanhassen and are
delighted by how business friendly our community has always been. I'm excited about the
possibility of our neighbors and friends spending more of their time and entertainment dollars
right here in our city as a result of business opportunities like the one before you tonight so just
really, really grateful. But even more importantly I'm thrilled that we're seeing a training and
practice venue for Carver County's almost 4,000 carry permit holders. I was just really so
pleased to hear that this entity will fill a significant void not only in the Twin Cities but in
Minnesota and I know that there is I think a growing need so I think this is just really a fabulous
opportunity for us as a city. These law abiding citizens take the responsibility of carrying a
firearm very seriously so having a conveniently located site where they can safely learn and
practice their skill is vital. Safe responsible shooting is a part of our Minnesota heritage but
without a place to go and shoot together as a family how can our mom and dads pass down that
heritage, that respect and that responsibility to their sons and daughters. So I'm looking forward
to personally participating in the future success of this business right here in Chanhassen. I did
receive my permit a year before last and so I'm really looking forward to practicing here and just
wanted more than anything to convey my really enthusiastic support for this project so I decided
to take that opportunity to do so tonight so. So thank you Mr. Mayor and council members.
Mayor Laufenburger: Thank you Representative Pugh.
Representative Cindy Pugh: Appreciate the opportunity.
Mayor Laufenburger: Any question of Representative Pugh from the council? Okay, thank you
very much.
Representative Cindy Pugh: Okay thank you.
Mayor Laufenburger: I had, I gave an opportunity for somebody to speak in favor of this. Is
there anybody present in the council chambers tonight who would like to speak against this
application? Alright so I know many others here would like to say something as well but I'm
going to restrict that at this time so thank you very much Representative Pugh for conveying
your view and I'm sure it's shared by many others that are here tonight. Let's bring this back to
the council. Any questions, comments or motion?
Councilman McDonald: Mr. Mayor, if you're ready for a motion I'd like to make one.
Mayor Laufenburger: Please do.
Councilman McDonald: I make the following motion that the Chanhassen City Council
approves the conditional use permit for an indoor gun range on Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen East
Business Center 21 Addition subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the Findings of
Fact.

Mayor Laufenburger: We have a valid motion. Thank you Councilman McDonald. Is there a
second?
Councilman Campion: Second.
Councilwoman Tjomhom: Second.
Mayor Laufenburger: I think I heard Councilman Campion just a moment before you
Councilwoman Tjomhom.
Councilwoman Tjomhom: What?
Mayor Laufenburger: Let's give that one to Councilman Campion okay. Is there any
discussion?
Councilwoman Ryan: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor Laufenburger: Councilwoman Ryan.
Councilwoman Ryan: I prepared a couple comments and I wanted to think about before, before
reading them but I know, I am going to support the motion but this is a serious, a serious
business to me and I gave it a lot of thought when I saw it on the agenda and talked to some folks
to get their feedback so I just, it's important for me to express my feelings here.
Mayor Laufenburger: Please do.
Councilwoman Ryan: Just because I'm not as familiar with going to gun ranges or a lot of the
legalities around gun ranges in general, I decided to do some reading and it was very
informational. The first thing that I came across was the law that Governor Pawlenty signed in
2005 called the Shooting Range Protection Act. I had no idea that that law existed and it gave
me a great deal of information and helped me understand the expectations put forth by the State
which I think are very important for us to understand. Tonight's conversation which I really
appreciate all your information that you provided me helps me better understand what this
business is as well as this particular site. My main concern has not been the range itself because
I know you had addressed some of the noise and the bullet traps, etc. but it was really the retail
or the rental side of the operation. And I know there's a lot of conversation right now in our
communities and no matter what side of the whole gun debate you're on, this is an important
conversation for all of us to have and be having at council. At the State level as well as at the
national level and you know and I believe that as City Council members it is our job to ask the
questions and really understand what this gun range is going to mean to the people within our
community. I was very pleased to read and learn that the law enforcement has been involved
with this application as well as having people, you know having them support it and I'm glad
22
0 0
Chanhassen City Council — October 26, 2015
that Stock and Barrel is putting the, you know the time and the energy into the education and the
training aspect of this business as well because as Representative Pugh expressed it is important
for us to be training people with the use of guns and safety. But and I believe you mentioned
we're not out in the farmlands or you know shooting on outdoor ranges. We're talking about a
gun range here in Chanhassen right outside of our downtown area near child care. Near schools
and our businesses and I think it's very important that you know we understand the implication
of that business, thus the many questions that I asked you tonight. So it's a big decision. One
that I am going to support but I ask that the, you know the City and the County continues to do
their due diligence and safety of the facility as well as the business owners to make sure that
they're doing everything that they can to keep it safe and secure within the confines of your
building and you know the parking lot and the surrounding areas so with that I will support this
motion but I felt it important to express my thoughts tonight so thank you for the time.
Mayor Laufenburger: Yep, thank you Councilwoman Ryan and I know that the people of
Chanhassen appreciate the manner in which you represent them by finding answers to questions
that you don't know so I applaud your efforts in that area. I would also say that this is a, this will
be a very welcomed addition but we as citizens of Chanhassen and the surrounding communities,
we have a responsibility to use this in a proper way. In a responsible way and the fact that it will
be convenient, hopefully people will not replace the convenience with lack of discipline. It's
important that, and Representative Pugh mentioned this. It's important that the children that
grow accustomed to using firearms understand that there is a responsibility that they take on by
using that firearm in a responsible way and in a safe way so I am, I too am pleased that this Stock
and Barrel will be here and I think it will be a very welcomed addition to the community but in
no way does it relieve the citizens of Chanhassen the responsibility to behave safely with and
around firearms at all times. So Mr. Schutrop you have a, you have a big responsibility in being
the overseer of this and whether you like it or not we're going to look to you for, for the results
that we see and we just hope that it will be always good results so just, that's a burden that comes
with leadership in some cases so nice to have you with us in that regard. Any other comments or
questions?

ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS.

Todd Gerhardt: Just one update. The pedestrian crossing down at Pioneer Pass is installed.
There's a little landscaping that needs to be completed so there's safe pedestrian access to the
park to the west of Pioneer Pass now so credit goes to Paul. His staff and the contractor for
getting that work done as soon as possible before those little white flakes start coming down so.
Mayor Laufenburger: Very good. Very good. Anything else Mr. Gerhardt?
Todd Gerhardt: That's all I have for now.
COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS.
Mayor Laufenburger: Any council presentations at this time? I have just one. There was a
notice in the newspaper yesterday. Long time Chanhassen has passed away. Mr. Dick Mingo
who has been a fixture in our community for more than 50 years and he passed away on
Thursday and the funeral is tomorrow morning at St. Hubert's. I have personally known Mr.
Mingo for over 50 years. He was my high school athletic director, football coach and my first
Little League coach in 1958 and over the last many, many years Dick, Dick and his wife
Rosemary, former Rosemary Pauly. Rosemary Mingo is, the two of them, when they were
married they made a commitment to one another that baseball would be part of their marriage
and Dick Mingo pretty much personified that. For the last 30 years he has been a scout. Excuse
me, a clinic, a clinician for the Minnesota Twins means, which means the Minnesota Twins have
sent him all over the state and the region to conduct clinics. Additionally 42 years ago he
initiated the high school all start baseball series which we now call the Play Ball Minnesota
Series and he was very instrumental in contributing more than $150,000 to the University of
Minnesota Eye Clinic through the donations that came along with that. With that all star

ACREAGE: 4.33 acres DENSITY: NA
LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAIKING: The city has limited discretion
in approving or denying conditional use permits, based on whether or not the proposal meets the
conditional use permit standards outlined in die Zoning Ordinance. If the city finds that all the
applicable conditional use permit standards are met, the permit must be approved. This is a
quasi-judicial decision.
Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet.
PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to permit a 15,048 square -foot indoor gun
range. The proposed use will represent approximately 24 percent of the total building area
(64,000 square feet). The proposed hours of operation are 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. seven days per
week. They estimate that they will have 375 clients per week initially, growing to 750 per week
after one year. Classes will be held throughout the week and the facility will be available for
groups -
Peak hours of use will be between 6:00 — 8:00 p.m. weekdays and on the weekends. The
applicant anticipates that during the 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. workday, the designated parking stalls
will be more than enough to handle any traffic for the projected nine customers per hour. During
those hours, it is expected that police and government training will be the largest percentage of
use. Starting around 4:00 p.m., they expect to see more traffic trickling into the range, but not
achieving peak traffic until about 6:30 — 7:00 p.m.
The off -hours timing of peak usage should not pose a problem for parking. Weekends will be
the highest expected times of use. The facility could see two thirds of the total weekly traffic on
weekends, resulting in an average of 21 customers per hour. If the allotted parking spaces cannot
accommodate them, CSM has assured the applicant that overflow parking will be available for
customers during off hours.
The training classes and events, in order to draw the largest crowds, will be held at off hours.
Most classes will begin at 6:00 p.m.

(Ord. No. 527, § 2, 8-22-11)
The applicant proposes to convert 15,048 square feet of existing interior space of the building
located at 18832 Lake Drive East. A parking analysis is required to determine if the existing and
proposed uses of the site exceed the available parking on the site. Should the parking analysis
reveal that additional parking is required, a plan must be submitted showing the proposed
parking expansion, including the existing and proposed grading and any necessary storm sewer
improvements. This plan would also be subject to review and approval from the Riley Purgatory
Bluff Creek Watershed District.
Parking requirements for this use are for recreational facilities. Based on having 14 shooting
lanes, the total required parking spaces are 48. The existing office -warehouse use in the
northwestern portion of the building consists of 1,800 square feet of office space and 27,325
square feet of warehouse space with a required parking of 28 parking spaces. The 19,825 square
feet of vacant buildin& if assumed to be 30 percent office and 70 percent warehouse, would
require at a maximum 42 spaces. The three use scenarios above would require a total of 118
parking spaces. The building has a total of 127 parking spaces on the lot with an additional 16
spaces adjacent to the western drive aisle. Staff visited the site on a Thursday afternoon and
counted a total of I I vehicles parked around the building

We propose to construct a welcoming, high-end, highly safe Indoor Firing Range with storefront
and classrooms in Industrial Zoned Chanhassen. Our facility will use state of the art
construction techniques to safely accommodate the indoor discharge of firearms, including
advanced air filtration that will meet or exceed EPA and OSHA standards, advanced
soundproofing, the best and safest backstop and armor technology available, and a full
reclamation system that ensures no lead is left on the range.
Therefore: we request to apply for a Use Permit, pursuant to the City Code of Ordinances, Sec.
20-298.S to construct an Indoor Firing Range.
We're planning hours for operation to be 9am to 9pm, 7 days a week. At opening, we expect to
see 375 people per week use our range, growing to 750 people per week within a year.
Industry expertise and research was used to calculate these estimates. We expect to have
events, especially fundraising events for charity and community partners. In addition, we will
be available for corporate outings, birthday and other parties, and firearms and safety experts
to come and give talks. No alcohol will be served, and no minors will be allowed unescorted.
Our waiver system requires a parent or legal guardian sign a waiver for a minor; and only if
delegated in writing on said waiver can a non -parent or non -guardian of at least 21 years of age
escort a minor on our range.
We will have classes throughout the week. Some will be concealed carry permit classes taught
by certified third -party instructors. Other classes will be our in-house courses, focused on
improving skills and safety. Certain courses will be made available to the public for free as a
service to educate the basics of firearms safety. We will also offer courses on non -lethal self-
defense, including women's self-defense and krav maga. All firearms instructors will display
current certificates for public inspection.
The display area will be a storefront for the sale of gun -related branded merchandise, firearms
accessories (holsters, belts, and cleaning materials), targets, range equipment, and as a Federal
Firearms Licensed dealer, firearms and ammunition. All firearms sales will involve background
checks, and comply fully with Federal and Minnesota laws, and will be regulated by the ATF.
Rental firearms will also be available and also will comply with any applicable laws.

We know that the people of the southwest metro already have keen interest in
firearms. Gander Mountain has built the largest gun store in Minnesota here, and there are
many other gun stores and firearms -related businesses. We want to provide a safe,
comfortable location for the diverse and vibrant community of shooters, already in the area, to
come and further their education and skill. The primary and ultimate purpose of a firing range
is training and practice, the result of which are safe and discerning gun owners. We're not
bringing guns or shooters to Chanhassen, but we do seek to create responsible, safe firearms
enthusiasts out of our clientele. We wish to do more than merely arm citizens, as the existing
stores do; we wish to convey the deep and abiding love of law, civic responsibility, and ongoing
practice to our guests, and to become the ambassadors to the fun and exciting world of
shooting sports.
Respectfully,

Parking plan for Chanhassen:
In addition to insuring that Stock&BarTeI has 20 parking stalls, plus one parking stall per
firing lane, we will primarily operate during "off -hours."
We've planned for 375 customers/week when we open, swelling to 750 customcrs/week
by the end of the year. If broken up evenly, at maximum expectations we would see 9
customers/hour throughout the week. Of course in real life, customers ebb and flow, and
we can predict the trends for busiest times.
Our range is open only to those 21 years of age and older; our highest traffic will be after
work hours on the weekdays. We anticipate that during the 9:00am to 5:00prn workday,
our designated stalls, as mentioned above, will be more than enough to handle any traffic
we see. During those hours, we expect police and government training to be our largest
percentage of use.
Starting around 4:00pm, we expect to see more traffic trickling into our range, but not
achieving peak traffic until about 6:30-7:00pm. Our highest traffic times during the
workweek should be between 6:00 and 8:00pm.
Like the last organization to use the space we are looking at, the off -hours timing of peak
usage will not pose a problem for parking. Weekends will be the highest expected times
of use. We could see 2/3 of our total weekly traffic on weekends alone, resulting in an
average of 21 customers/hour. If our allotted parking spaces cannot accommodate them,
CSM has assured us that overflow parking will be available for customers during off -
hours.
Our training classes and events, in order to draw the largest crowds, will be held at off -
hours. Most classes will begin at 6:00pm, so people can stop by after work, when they're
already commuting. In order for us to make our events and classes as profitable as
possible, we will want to hold them after the workday.

Subject: 2015-22 Indoor Gun Range sound proofing?
Mr. Generous,
2015-22 Indoor Gun Range.
What is the plan for sound proofing of the range so that firing can't be heard outside the building?
The planning documents don't mention sound proofing. The application letter mentions "advanced soundproofing" but
what does that really mean?
We live in a residential neighborhood not far from the proposed range. By my calculations, we are approximately 1400ft
from the proposed range. We don't want to be listening to constant gun fire all the time. Just saying it will meet MPCA
outside noise rules is not necessarily sufficient. There is often a big difference between the rules and what I would
consider annoying noise. We like peace and quiet.
What is the proposed maximum caliber to be used and type of ammunition?
Which way is North on the floor plan that was submitted? The shape of the floor plan (rectangular) doesn't match the
shape of the building (L shaped). Based on the bump -outs on the bottom left and right ends of the drawing, it appears
that North is either down in the drawing or to the right. Generally, North is up in drawings. There's also no scale on the
drawing. Given the lack of a North arrow in the drawing, does the person who made the drawing know what they are
doing?
The plan only shows armor on one wall. What about the side walls for people who can't hit what they are aiming at?
City code requires the range to be more than 1000ft from a liquor store (building to building). Has anyone made a
precise measurement of the distance to Haskell's liquor across 5 from the proposed range? I measure 1055 ft but my
margin of error could easily put it below 1000ft (or farther away).
What are the proposed hours of the range?
How many firing lanes will the range consist of?
My main concern here is noise and safety. As long as it is quiet and safe I have no objection.
Thanks.

Subject: RE: 2015-22 Indoor Gun Range sound proofing?
Mr. Murphy,
The applicant is required to soundproof the facility so that adjacent units may not hear the activity. These standards will
reduce the noise so that it is not noticeable outside as well. I am told that it has less noise than a day care center.
We don't have the specific building plans yet since they are usually prepared when the applicant is sure they can
proceed, but they must follow national standards and must comply with state and federal requirements. Over the
years, they have development sophisticated systems (noise, ammunition traps and air handling) for these ranges.
They have not specified the maximum caliber of ammunition. It will be included as part of their building permit.
The bullet traps are designed to catch all rounds aimed down range.
The unit is located in the northeast corner of the building. There is an office warehouse unit in the northwest corner of
the building with a building width of 190 feet. North would be on the right. The plans do not show the northwest
portion of the building.
The city has calculated the separation from the Haskell's building to the northwest corner of the building to be 1,072
feet.
Range hours will be 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. seven days a week. The peak hours of usage will be between 6 and 8 p.m.
weekdays and weekend hours.
They are proposing 14 shooting lanes.
As part of the city's review, we have submitted the application to both the sheriffs office and the city's fire and building
officials. They did not express any concerns.
I shall include a copy of this email as an attachment to the staff report.
If you have additional questions or need more information, please contact me.

REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO PERMIT A 15,000 SQUARE
FOOT INDOOR GUN RANGE (STOCK AND BARREL) ON PROPERTY ZONED
INDUSTRIAL OFFICE PARK ROP) AND LOCATED AT 18832 LAKE DRIVE EAST
(LOT 1. BLOCK 1, CHANHASSEN EAST BUSINESS CENTER 2ND ADDITION).
APPLICANT: GRINDSTONE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES. OWNER: CSM
U*4VESTORS, INC.
Generous: Tbank you Chairman Weick and commissioners. One item, the Minnetonka Middle
School item was published and noticed for tonight but that item was withdrawn so that's why we
don't have that on the agenda. Before us is Planning Case 2015-22. We have the numbers
wrong. Grindstone Construction Services and CSM Investors Inc are the applicants. Again this
is a public hearing tonight before the Planning Commission. This item is scheduled for City
Council on October 26th. The property is located at 18832 Lake Drive East. This is on the east
side of town. It's part of the only part of the city that's actually within Hennepin County. The
development of this area by CSM began in 1996. At that time they platted the most, two most
easterly lots and they outlotted this parcel. The first 3 buildings in Chanhassen East Business
Park are each 64,000 square foot buildings so they were office industrial warehouse buildings.
The request before us, this property is zoned industrial office park. It's guided in our
Comprehensive Plan for office industrial uses. In the IOP district indoor gun ranges are listed as
conditional uses. Access to this property will be via Lake Drive East which is a collector
roadway under the City's hierarchy of street systems. Again the IOP district permits indoor gun
ranges as conditional use permits. In 2011 the City amended our city code to allow these indoor
gun ranges as a conditional use in the IOP District. At that time 17 criteria were developed for
reviewing and approving such uses. We also looked at outdoor gun ranges at that time but it was
not approved and that portion of the shooting range information died. Again this, the unit that
the developer is looking, or that the applicant is looking at is in the northeast comer of the third
building within the Chanhassen East Business Park. On the east side of this building there's
approximately 34,000 square feet of vacant space. Their intention is to occupy approximately
SCAt4NED
0 0
Chanhassen Planning Commission — October 6, 2015
15,000 square feet of the building. While I'm on here, the entire building on this lot has 127
parking spaces scattered throughout the site. There's some additional ones on the west that
would be available as overflow parking if necessary. Based on the uses within the development
the proposed use would require 48 parking spaces. Immediately to the north and east of this unit
there are 50 parking spaces. The existing tenant to the west is about 1,800 square feet of office
space and the rest is 27,000 square feet of warehouse space. Their parking requirements are 28
spaces and then we assume the rest of the vacant space would develop or be occupied in the
future with a mixture of 3 0 percent office and 70 percent warehouse just to figure out whether
there's sufficient capacity in the site for parking. Those numbers are high. Generally we don't
get that much office space unless it's all office use and then. So between the 3 units there would
be 118 required parking spaces and again the site has 127 so we don't believe that will be an
issue. Again here's the breakdown of the existing use of the building. On the west side is an
existing office warehouse user. Primarily warehouse. The 15,000 square foot that's being
proposed for this use represents about 43 percent of the vacant space within that building so, and
then again there's 19,825 square feet of vacant space that would be to the south of this building.
Again this unit is in the northeast comer of the site of the building. Its access is on that northeast
comer too. There are some other fire doors that would be into the unit but that would be the
entrance into the space. Again this is an indoor gun range and appurtenant uses. The gun range
is, represents 5,265 square feet of this space which is about 35 percent of the use. There's also
classrooms in there that are proposed for that. They would represent 7 percent of the area.
There's a commercial or retail area right in the entrance and that goes into the other office and
lounge area and that represents 18 1/2percent of the use of the unit. Under the IOP district
regulations and the criteria up to 20 percent of an industrial space may be used for more like
retail or commercial type uses so they fall within the guidelines. And then the rest of it, 34
percent of the area would be a lounge area, lavatories, offices, things like that. The gun range
itself is proposed to have 14 lanes for shooting. Again they'd have to comply with all the
requirements for noise, HVAC and the ability to stop ammunition that's used with that. One of
the criteria we look at is they have to specify the maximum size round that could be fired in this
facility. The proposed use complies, well as far as they can up to this point complies with all
those criteria. A lot of it will come out as we review the building permit. We will look at the
specific construction standards and the air handling equipment and things like that. Staff is
recommending approval of the conditional use permit for the indoor gun range subject to
conditions in the staff report and adoption of the Findings of Fact and Recommendation. And
with that I'd be happy to answer any questions.
Weick: Open for questions.
Madsen: I have a question about the noise. So if they build it and there's noise that a tenant
could hear, is there any remedy for the City to go back and correct that?
Generous: Yes there would be because it's a requirement under the ordinance and so they would
be in violation of this conditional use permit and we can make them correct that.

Madsen: Thank you.
Tietz: Bob, so that means that any adjacent walls where there's unoccupied space now but
potentially rented in the future, that parcel to the south.
Generous: Yes.
Tietz: The sound attenuation would be part of the building permit review for that, for any walls
that abut and adjacent.
Generous: For all interior units and also exterior units because we don't want the noise to go out
into the general public either so. And they probably could explain it better. There are systems in
place that they've been using for these. As I stated in the report they've told me it's not, it's loud
as a daycare. Not as loud as a daycare.
Weick: Any other questions at this time? Great. If the applicant would like to make a
presentation, you're welcome to do so at this time. Just state your name and who you're
representing.
Jeff Berends: Jeff Berends with Grindstone Construction and then this is Chris Schutrop with
Block and Technical. The actual tenant.
Weick: Okay.
JeffBerends: And then Fritz Budig from Grindstone Construction as well. Fritz will beableto
help understand, give you an understanding of the technical parameters as far as sound
attenuation. How we're going to contain the bullets within the gun range itself and then Chris
will be able to help identify any questions pertaining to operations and things like that so Fritz
you want to talk at all about sound or anything?
Fritz Budig: Absolutely.
Tietz: Is the mic on? I don't think so.
Weick: Yep.
Fritz Budig: Is it on?
Weick: Yep.
FritzBudig: Hello. AsJcffsaidmy name is Fritz. I'm with Grindstone Construction. We're
working with the team on doing the construction of this indoor shooting range facility. I want to
address one of the concerns is the bullet trap. The containment system on a safety factor. The
0 0
Chanhassen Planning Commission — October 6, 2015
entire bullet trap face, none of that actually projects into the shooting range. For example where
the bullet trap containment system meets the floor and where it meets the walls, it's recessed into
the floor and walls so there aren't any protruding areas to cause any ricochet so for the shooters
perspective it's all down range. It all goes into the containment system. The bullet trap material,
the backstop if you will is a 3/8 thick armor platted AR500 steel and right directly where die
primary target area is, it's actually a half inch thick steel for a little extra you know support.
Basically it's the front edge of it is a knife edge. We brought a couple pictures. I don't know if
you can see them or not but.
Generous: If you put it right on top of that.
Fritz Budig: Right on top of here?
Generous: No on top of this.
Fritz Budig: Okay. There we go. So what you're seeing there, I know it's hard to maybe
decipher. I'll start with this picture here. So this is, this is the back side of the range so when
you come in behind die, in the range area the bucket underneath there is what collects the lead if
you will. The bullet. The cylinder or the area that looks like its angled back is actually this
picture here. That's the front knife edge you see as the shooter so as you're shooting down range
you're actually, your target is centered on the two areas right in the back, if that picture makes a
little bit of sense there. And then the black space you see to the left and right of that knife edge
that is actually the front edge of this cylinder right here where it's collecting all of the bullets so
to speak. All rounds that are fired either at the floor, the side walls, the ceiling plates, die
backstop which I'll kind of get into that and show you guys that, all rounds get directed back
towards that backstop. If someone misfires, shoots and hits the floor, it goes into the backstop.
It's amazing. The system out of, from Shooting Range Industries is a proven system. If a bullet,
if a shooter shoots and hits the ceiling panels, the same deal. There's armor platted baffles every
so often that there is virtually impossible for a round to escape from this, if you will the chamber
from the shooting area. 'Me bucket you're seeing in that picture before is then the bullet goes
into that. The bucket gets emptied as needed. It could be an every other day. A weekly basis
depending on the amount of use. The back area is vacuumed. Cleaned up and you know I guess
that's about it for that bullet trap. There's the ammunition to be used, I know it had been brought
up that the ammunition is a certain size. It can go up to a 50 caliber. It's got to be either rim fire
center fire. It's got to be, there can be shotgun slugs but it's primarily pistol rifle shotgun slug.
There's no shotgun. No muzzle loaders. It's you know bird shot, that kind of stuff I should say.
The ceiling plates, which are a series of ceiling plates that go at an angle. At a 30 degree angle
away from the shooting stand and those are what I was talking about earlier that are protecting
the structure of the building and neighboring tenants and HVAC equipment and all kinds of stuff.
There are 9 of those, The first 3 are right from the firing lane at a flat right in front of you and
those 9 plates are covered with 2 by material. Plywood and then a fireproof ceiling system so in
the event that a shooter does shoot straight up in the air, the fireproof panel and the plywood
absorb the bullet. It dissipates and it just falls apart up in that system. It doesn't ricochet back
4

Chanhassen Planning Commission — October 6, 2015
down so as a shooter you're safe all along. The next 6 panels down the range are basically
taking that bullet, if someone decides to shoot and it hits one of the panels. It takes that and it
just brings it right back to the bullet trap. Everything again directs back to that bullet trap. The
bottom edge of the steel baffles are in line so your steel baffles I'm talking about are actually in
line with the top of the bullet trap system itself so there's, you know again everything's again
self contained. The firing line stalls are I think we have in your book you have a picture that we
can show them. The firing line stalls are 42 inches in width for each shooter. There'll be 14
lanes like was mentioned and they're actually separated by diamond plate, more of a decorative
steel but within that steel we dump pea gravel inside the steel of all things and the pea gravel
really dissipates the shock of that bullet so if a shooter were to mistakenly shoot to the left or
right, your fellow neighbor shooter's going to be fine. Perfect. So see this right here, it's not a
very good representation but that is actually 2 inches thick. Filled with pea gravel. So that's
what separates you from your neighbor while you're shooting. And I guess that's it for the firing
lanes. Are there any questions on the ceiling plates, the firing line stalls, the backstop, anything?
What's what? Oh yeah I'm sorry. So outside of the steel, the actual construction of this room is
an 8 inch masonry wall, core filled solid so. Yeah, all 4 walls so you'll have the wall behind the
firing lane. You'll have the wall behind the steel backstop. Then you have the walls to your left
and right so the backstop, if the backstop should fail, which 1, because it's unheard of. It's you
know, you still have an 8 inch thick masonry wall that's reinforced with rebar and concrete solid
grouting. So that's that and then it's, the ceiling system again is all protected by the baffles.
Weick: Okay.
Fritz Budig: Okay, no questions on that then?
Tietz: Just one, or a couple questions related to HVAC and fire protection.
Fritz Budig: Sure.
Tietz: I assume that there are penetrations in that ceiling then to bring air in and fresh, and
circulate air and then the fire suppression system would be above that ceiling and below the
ceiling9
Fritz Budig: Yes that's, I'm going to skip a page back here. I brought, I got as far as the HVAC
system goes that's 100 percent what's going to happen. The I-fVAC system's got a large make
up air. It's got intake and exhaust and it's got air scrubbers in it to get the lead out of the air.
The contaminants out of the air. Meeting all the clean indoor acts. The filters are then cleaned
based on a meter to tell us when they're dirty. When they need to be cleaned so yeah that takes
all that up. The fire protection, I'll open this up and show you this, the baffles which if you
haven't seen it rain they're kind of hard to picture. I'll show you if I can get this underneath
your deal. If I can get that in there. There we go. Perfect. So what you're seeing here in this
top part of the plan, all these V's here, that's your, that's the actual range system itself that
you're shooting into. The end down here is your firing line. Going down this section here is a
5
0 0
Chanhassen Planning Commission — October 6, 2015
cut through section through the range so if you see this here, those at an angle. There's 6 of
them. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6. Those are all at that 30 degree angle pointing the bullets down to the gun
trap. The bullet trap. Okay. Your fire protection system, the lighting, all that good stuff is
inbetween the baffles so you have complete coverage in the event of a fire. The sprinkler heads
will go off at needed.
Tietz: Okay, thanks. That helps explain it. I didn't know if it was a continuous ceiling or it's a
baffled ceiling with a 30 degree.
Fritz Budig: Yep.
Tietz: Thanks.
FritzBudig: You'rewelcome. Anymore questions on that?
Undestad: While you have that plan on there, are all the dashed lines in the bigger plan, are
those all masonry walls?
Fritz Budig: Sorry, in here?
Undestad: Yeah the cross hatched lines. You've got a couple of them running through the
middle of the building and the perimeter.
Fritz Budig: Right here.
Undestad: No, no.
Fritz Budig: Right here.
Undestad: Right there, yeah.
Fritz Budig: Yes. Yes that's, this is, what we're going to do is we're proposing, it's 14 lanes.
HVAC system works on a 7 lane increment so we'll have these 7 lanes as one. So this will be a
masonry wall, correct. And then this will be another. This masonry wall may or may not go in
but it will for sure go in for the 7. This masonry wall may stop short of that but yes.
Undestad: And then the entrance to the lanes it looks like you've got to go through a double
masonry wall to get into the actual shooting area.
Fritz Budig: Correct. That's our airlock. We have a constant negative pressure inside the gun
range so that will be your airlock which is exactly what it is and then you go on into the next
room.
0 0
Chanhassen Planning Commission — October 6, 2015
Undestad: Okay.
Fritz Budig: And that's all, that's all masonry as well. I do want to bring up, I know noise is a
concern and we're well aware of it and we do our due diligence and we have a plan in place to
remedy that. We've actually, I know it was brought up here in the meeting that the decibel
readings, we've built a few of these things in the past. We've actually taken decibel readings
right outside the back door of a gun range. Same exact manufacturer. The door was behind,
right in this area. The decibel readings were in the upper 50's, low 60's which is comfortable.
Very tolerable. There is a daycare facility next door to this place so we took the readings, the
Chief of Police and I took the readings. The one we built, yes. It was and the kids were out
playing, having a great time and the noise was actually louder than what we were getting from
the gun range so I know the Chief kind of got a kick out of that one so. T11e, in an effort and to
keep the noise down is what we do is on the first, on the first 10 feet of the range here we put a
sound attenuated material. It's about 2 inches thick and that's where primarily where your noise
comes from, the muzzle blast. Then we also put it on, back here just so it deadens that sound as
well. Once that bullet leaves the muzzle and is traveling down here it's fairly quiet again until it
hits that backstop and then we have some soundproofing procedures that we do on this back wall
as needed. So, and then throughout the space, throughout the retail area, throughout the
classrooms and kind of, it's kind of a situation where we get the range in. We get it operational
like you're seeing a conditional use permit. If we find we need more, more sound product in
there we kind of just you know we add it as we need it basically. It's hard to, it's hard to know
until you actually start using it exactly how much you need.
Undestad: So one more. So is Grindstone Construction, is that all you guys do is, you do all the
construction for these gun ranges?
Fritz Budig: It's not all we do but it's one of the things that we do.
Undestad: You've done a number of them.
Fritz Budig: I did. We have. We've done, this will be our fourth one so we've done Ramsey.
Total Defense in Ramsey. It's on our website. I did Maple Grove Law Enforcement range some
years ago and we did another range up in the northern metro. Another private range. So we've
done a few of these too. We've worked with Shooting Range Industries. Tliey're a great
company out of Las Vegas. They stand behind their equipment. They've been in business for
over 20 years. They have ranges that they sold 20 years ago. I wasn't doing it then but they're
still on the market being used today so it's a good product.
Undestad: Do they do all the engineering and stuff for the lanes and the?
Fritz Budig: They do. They've done all the engineering and one of the things nice about
Shooting Range Industries is, as this is being constructed they send a range supervisor out so
they're supervising the assembly of it. Once we get it assembled they supervise the testing of it.
0 0
Chanhassen Planning Commission — October 6, 2015
It's, they're not just selling this product and throwing it out there. It's a tried and true tested
product at the end of the day.
Weick: Other presentations?
Fritz Budig: No sir, that's all I have. Chris do you have anything you want to talk about?
Jeff Berends: Do you have any questions about security within the building or anything like
that?
Tietz: Yeah I'd have a question about safety and security and how ammunition is handled and
how it's maintained. You know if a user of the facility comes in with their own ammunition and
how it's controlled inside the space and when they leave and the type of supervision over anyone
who is in the facility. Could you explain how that is handled?
Chris Schutrop: I can do that.
Fritz Budig: You want to do that?
Chris Schutrop: Yeah I can absolutely do that. So fantastic question. Basically a couple
different ways on how that, how that process works. So an individual walks in and as soon as
they walk in, you know we obviously have policies and we have a receptionist also and for
someone who's going for the first time but we require that inside, or I should say outside the
actual shooting range itself everything is going to be eased and unloaded so that includes your
ammunition. That includes your gun and what have you so they're able to then, you know from
thatjuncture, gun is all cased. Fully secure. They go out there and we bring them into the range
and once they're inside the range, that's when they can unease it and load up their magazines or
their gun and what not and have a good afternoon. As far as any storage of ammunition on site,
that's done within compliance of state regulations on that so beyond a certain amount of
ammunition is required to be stored in a certain way and we're going to be in compliance with
that standard that's inside of that. As far as safety goes, every single one of our employees that
we have is Range Safety Officer certified and every single customer that comes in for the first
time and on an annual renewing basis is required to go through a range safety brief and that's
done by an NRA certified Chief Range Safety Officer and they've had very, you know
the ... standards as far as how do you safely go out there and shoot and run a range. NRA's done
a fantastic job of putting a curriculum out there and basically we're just going to follow exactly
what they have because it works. So on top of them going through that process every single one
of our employees, like I mentioned is also Range Safety Officer certified so that in the event of
something happening or what not, everyone's able to go out there and keep a mind on safety.
You know we sort of have, you know a main goal and really what our purpose is to do is to go
out there is perpetuate safety, education and training to people so that's what we're about and
that's my background primarily is going out there in the education side of things and I have you
0 0
Chanhassen Planning Commission — October 6, 2015
know ran thousands of range sessions and that's sort of the process that we find works best and
we never had an incident as a result of that so, does that answer your question?
Tietz: Well it does partially. If you had all 14 lanes in use and you say that your active hours are
between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. likely and you have folks waiting, what's your ratio of
instructors or supervisors to the number of people at the shooting range or at the 14 slots? Is it a
ratio of you know 4 to I or what's, what kind of supervision do you provide in the facility?
Chris Schutrop: Sure absolutely. So in a scenario where all the, all the bays are packed or the
lanes are packed I should say we'll go out there and we'll have a supervisor dedicated to that
range. Now keep in mind that with the width of this and the way that it's set up it allows us to be
very, very on top of things. I've been to ranges in different states that don't have a safety officer
at all in the entire facility and sort of self governed. We'll actually go out there and have a staff
member actively supervising watching these individuals and once again everyone who's walking
into this range has gone through a basically a 10 minute safety brief on the exact procedures and
processes that keep everyone safe as a result.
Tietz: Okay.
Chris Schutrop: Any other questions on that piece?
Weick: I do. Is it only bring your own gun or do you also offer guns on site for people to use?
Chris Schutrop: Sure, yeah absolutely that's a great question. So it's both obviously. You can
come on there with your own guns that you want to use and everything and we also offer a
service where people can go out there and rent that and if they're renting we require a you know
state issued ID, so your drivers license. And then we also require a permit to carry or a permit to
purchase which are either, in the case of a permit to purchase it's a city issued document
basically saying that you went through a background check so we can, the people going up are
getting access and obviously a permit to carry is a state issued and they go through the exact
same background check processes so it helps sort of vet everyone before we go out there and
handle a gun obviously. Yep, did that answer your question?
Weick: Yes.
Chris Schutrop: Fantastic.
Undestad: On that same topic there, what I mean from the city standpoint what's, I didn't see
anything in here that kind of says yes, this is what we do and this is our policy on there because I
think the rental side of thing is where most of the range is getting a little dicey in there anyways
so.
Chris Schutrop: Sure.

Chanhassen Planning Commission — October 6, 2015
Undestad: I like what you're doing with the background and that but, you know you're telling us
you do this but 6 months into die range you know is there something in place that says
everybody that rents a gun will get this background check?
Chris Schutrop: Sure. It's not so much that we're issuing a background check. We're looking at
the documentation that is issued.
Undestad: That they need to have.
Chris Schutrop: As a result and if for some reason let's say someone gets their licenser from the
state and lo and behold something happens. They commit a crime. They get convicted of it.
The State actually goes out there and actively takes that back from them so they do that process.
Does that somewhat answer, I didn't fully understand your question but...
Undestad: Yeah, no, no again the process I like that that's in place but you know if somebody
comes into your establishment and says I don't have one of these. Can I rent a gun? I'm just
going to shoot it for a little bit or something.
Chris Schutrop: Yeah the answer is no. You know it's a policy that we have in place because
we want consistency and you know I'm a business guy and I'll go on a slight tangent but you
know processes run businesses so we don't want to go out there and deviate from that ultimately
so the answer is that it's a policy that we have that's non-negotiable. So someone can't
necessarily come off the street and say yeah I just want to go out there and use and we say hey
that's fantastic. You know what this is the phone number and the address of the Carver County
Sheriff. You can go down there and apply for your permit to purchase or we teach permit to
carry classes and then you can apply with the State to get that. So for us it's not so much a well
you know let's do a back alley deal kind of here. It's a hard policy that we require and is inside
of our standard operating procedures.
Undestad: Okay. And how many of these do you have? Ranges.
Chris Schutrop: I don't have any ranges. My background is, is that for the past 5 years I've
gone out there and started a firemen's training company and that operates in about 27 states. We
teach about 30,000 people a year through that company and I own that organization. Then in
apparel I also own a company that manufacturers ... ammunition and law enforcement
ammunition so the next segue obviously was open a range so that's my background a little bit.
Undestad: But you'll be the operating entity of this range?
Chris Schutrop: Sure I'm the CEO of the organization. We'll obviously have.
Undestad: So the stock and barrel.
1101
0 0
Chanhassen Planning Commission — October 6, 2015
Chris Schutrop: Yep, Stock and Barrel, I'm the CEO of that company. I'm a shareholder of that
and then obviously day to day operations we have a number of employees that will be running
that, a number of which are former law enforcement and military which we find are the best
people to hire so it sort of helps reinforce the mantra that they've been brought up with as far as
safety and perpetuate that inside of a culture as a company.
Undestad: Okay, good. Thank you.
Chris Schutrop: Absolutely. Any other questions I can answer for the council?
Madsen: I have a question.
Chris Schutrop: Yes ma'am.
Madsen: So do you carry liability insurance in the event of, if there's any issues that could
occur?
Chris Schutrop: Yep we carry a couple different policies. So first of which is a range liability
policy. So that covers specifically shooting and then secondarily we have our general liability
policy which you know someone rolls and ankle outside you know and you know whatever
happens we have that so we sort of have two fold a policy sort of protecting us from that piece
there.
Madsen: Okay, thank you.
Chris Schutrop: Absolutely, you're welcome. Any other questions?
Weick: Anything else? Any other piece of information you want to share?
Jeff Berends: If there's no more questions I guess that's it.
Weick: Good, okay. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. At this time we will open the public
hearing portion tonight so anyone wishing to come forward, please come forward to the podium.
State your name and address and your comment on the issue. Seeing nobody come forward we
will close the public hearing portion of the hearing. Are there any comments or further questions
from councilmembcrs. Commission members.
Hokkanen: No. I think that they've put a good plan together addressing safety and noise and
that's going to be what most people are concerned about and I think they've explained
everything and that it will be. I'm very satisfied with that.

Chanhassen Planning Commission — October 6, 2015
Weick: And noise sounds like it's something that can be monitored ongoing through the
conditional use permit so I think that would certainly please any neighbors that might potentially
have issues down the road.
Hokkanen: I agree.
Tietz: The conditions of approval seem to be quite lengthy but in response to and follow up to
Mark's question, now does the City have the ability to pull the permit of use if there are any
problems and issues?
Generous: We always have the ability to void a conditional use permit, yes. If they violate the
conditions of approval. It does have to go back to City Council but it can be done. And we, as
part of this process we did involve law enforcement as a part of their review and they didn't
really have any concerns with it. They thought it was a good use. Something that they need.
Tietz: Yeah would Carver County, would our sheriffs department use the facility?
Generous: I don't know as a unit they would but I know individuals will.
Tietz: Okay.
Weick: Any other thoughts? I certainly would entertain a motion.
Undestad: I'll make a motion that the Planning Commission recommends the City Council
approve the conditional use permit subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the Findings
of Fact and Recommendation.
Weick: We have a motion. Do we have a second?
Hokkanen: Second.
Weick: We have a motion and a second.
Undestad moved, Hokkanen seconded that the Chanhassen Planning Commission
recommends the City Council approve the Conditional Use Permit for an indoor gun range
on Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen East Business Center 2"d Addition, subject to the f6flowing
conditions and adopts the Findings of Fact and Recommendation:

CHANHASM"NINGDEPT
September 4, 2015
We propose to construct a welcoming, high-end, highly safe Indoor Firing Range with storefront
and classrooms in Industrial Zoned Chanhassen. Our facility will use state of the art
construction techniques to safely accommodate the indoor discharge of firearms, including
advanced air filtration that will meet or exceed EPA standards, advanced soundproofing, the
best and safest backstop and armor technology available, and a full reclamation system that
ensures no lead is left on the range.
Therefore: we request to apply for a Use Permit, pursuant to the City Code of Ordinances, Sec.
20-298.5 to construct an Indoor Firing Range.
We know that the people of the southwest metro already have keen interest in
firearms. Gander Mountain has built the largest gun store in Minnesota here, and there are
many other gun stores and firearms -related businesses. We want to provide a safe,
comfortable location for the diverse and vibrant community of shooters, already in the area, to
come and further their education and skill. The primary and ultimate purpose of a firing range
is training and practice, the result of which are safe and discerning gun owners. We're not
bringing guns or shooters to Chanhassen, but we do seek to create responsible, safe firearms
enthusiasts out of our clientele. We wish to do more than merely arm citizens, as the existing
stores do; we wish to convey the deep and abiding love of law, civic responsibility, and ongoing
practice to our guests, and to become the ambassadors to the fun and exciting world of
shooting sports.
Respectfully,
Chris Schutrop

Regarding: Stock & Barrel at Chanhassen
As is said, "The devil is in the details," however, as we understand the
use & space design today we are enthusiastic about having them in our
complex. Regarding parking: the property has 142 surface stalls, shared
in common amongst the tenants. Given Stock & Barrel's evening and
weekend primary use, 40 stalls is doable if they occupy 15,000 sf.
I would encourage Stock & Barrel to take the next steps with the City
and CSM and let's see if we can get this one over the finish line.
Best Regards.
