Brenda Eklund, City Clerk
We have recently received your letter regarding the above mentioned permit.
We own forty acres abutting this property to the east. Our fathers and grandfather purchased this
property about 60 years ago for the primary purpose of recreational hunting and we have used this
property for this purpose since then. While we are not opposed to their permit application nor the
variance they have requested we thought they should know how our property is being used, considering
their desire for a “quiet site for prayer and religious study”.
Four siblings/cousins currently own this property but only two families hunt on this property so you are
likely to hear a limited amount of shotgun fire during the duck, pheasant and deer seasons in the fall
months. It is primarily unused the balance of the year.
Yours truly,
Scott C. Johnson
