"Right now, we have good relations with our neighbors and are grandfathered into the local zoning. But looking five years down the road -- well, we're concerned."
Good deal. But I know how hard it is when folks are building those huge houses along 10th. As they get closer to the Gun Club, I imagine you're going to get complaints. I hope you'll be able to fend them off. Of course, having that nice big sign should let folks know you're there. [grin]
Unfortunately, that's only an acknowledgement of an existing condition; it doesn't prevent their trying to change conditions if they find them not to their taste in the future.
One thing that worries me is that the people building out here now really don't understand that they're moving out into Real Country. For example, this past fall we were the subject of a long series of angry noise complaints from people who didn't know that both goose and mourning-dove seasons opened September 4, and that the early-morning shooting they were hearing was from hunters in the Bayport WMA, and not the gun club.
