Estes’ motion that the proposed zoning amendment to allow churches by right in an agricultural district be advertised for the commissioner’s October meeting with endorsed reluctantly but unanimously. ‘‘That’s as expedient as we can get and stay within the terms of the ordinance,” he added. Konick volunteered to get in touch with representatives of the Promised Land Church and explain to them what they need in order to apply for a special use permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals.
Back Again "I never go away,” joked Peter Luke, back before the planning commissioners for a third time with a proposal for a firing range on behalf of his clients, Robert and Ruth Bowers.
He noted that when the planners last voted to recommend denial of a zoning ordinance amendment to allow firing ranges with a special use permit in an agricultural zone, they asked for more specific criteria and advice from experts.
Luke reported that he has contacted Col. William Deneke, a retired officer with wide experience in designing firing ranges for the military. Deneke and a National Rifle Association representative from that group’s range development center are both able to attend the commission's October meeting, Luke said, requesting that a public hearing on the range amendment be set for that time.

“A tractor-trailer going by is about 70-75 decibels,” Konick noted.
