Gun Club seeks zoning relief amid Shoemaker Road concerns
The Gun Club faces continued opposition as planners receive over 20 letters from residents citing noise and possible property-value declines. Road access on Shoemaker Road, noted for sharp curves and narrow, unpaved sections, remains a critical obstacle after multiple denied applications and court remands. The club proposes safety measures, caps attendance at 99, and plans a gatehouse and padlocked access, while opponents urge further testimony at Winchester Hall.

Firefighters battled a back-of-building blaze in Building A after a part time security guard spotted flames about 3 40 am. Gerald Hess was treated and flown to Bayview Hospital while two families sought Red Cross assistance. The scene highlighted parking hazards and a lack of fire lanes as crews worked to reach the structure. More than a dozen apartments suffered smoke and water damage with uninhabitable results. The incident follows a prior fatal fire in the county earlier in 1997.
