Some of the owner's neighbors, the closest of which is a mile away from the property, oppose the request. This isn't the first time that owner Andrew Dykers has dealt with opposition to his running a sporting clays range on his private property. In 2007, Goochland passed an ordinance requiring a special permit to run a range on private property.
Mr. Dykers ran a shooting range alongside his hunting preserve from 1989 to 1991. When neighbors complained about the noise, county officials informed him that he had to apply for a conditional-use permit for the business. He applied for one and was denied, forcing him to shutter the operation. Some of Dykers neighbors told WTVR 6 this week that they feel the sporting clays range would "disrupt their comfort and hurt property values."
If you live in Goochland and can't make the meeting, please contact the planning commission members and express your support for the application.
