Barrett Township: No Decision Yet on the Proposed Shooting Range

Barrett supervisors heard the Barrett Shooting Sports Center's conditional use application Thursday (Oct. 15) and recessed without a decision. Owner Jeffrey Siglin wants to build a 20,010-square-foot indoor facility at 1071 Route 390 with 12 firearm lanes, 12 archery lanes, six axe-throwing lanes, a pro shop, classrooms and a snack bar and lounge, open noon to 8 p.m. seven days a week, according to the applicant's presentation at the hearing. The plan calls for 56 parking spaces and about 195 vehicle trips a day. Two neighbors asked about the distance to their homes, tree buffers and noise. The board asked for written information by Friday (Oct. 23) on how much sound the building's walls would be designed to block, and the hearing resumes Wednesday (Oct. 28) at 5:30 p.m., when the board is expected to deliberate and decide. This step covers only whether the use fits the zoning. A land development review would follow if it is approved.
