NarrativePlanning Department
I would like to submit a formal application to undertake and accomplish the following.
1. New Permanent signage
2. Amend interim use permit to allow for outdoor picnic area, horseshoes and paintball.
3. Included maps of locations of the new activities.
Paintball within the flood plane will have no permanent structures. Only environment friendly paintballs
will be used.
• Paintballs are completely biodegradable and will wash away from most surfaces with
water or will vanish after a rainstorm. Paintballs are gelatin capsules filled with an oil or
polyethylene glycol (the base of cough syrups) and food -coloring dye mixture. Both the
shells and the fill will naturally biodegrade and will not leave lasting marks on the
environment.
As you know as a result of the road construction business has been extremely slow. Since the current
road construction is almost complete I am considering additional investment to foster more business for
the future. These additional investments would offer our customers more recreational choices and give
us more opportunity to offer group outings. Due to the pending Hwy 61 corridor project and the future
sewer and water, I can no longer utilize the land closed to Hwy 61. The addition of these new activities is
my only viable option to replace my loss of business.
Due to the new road configuration new and larger signage is needed to give us a fair chance of
attracting new customers and make us a visible business moving forward. The concepts of the new
signs are included.
Thank you,
