Request to Remove a Condition on CUP #6092
Viking Valley Hunt Club Owners, Les & Bette Bensch, provided a !handout sl!lmmarizing the
timetable of events relative to the Conditional Use Permit issued in 1988 fo~ their Shooting
and Hunting Club. Mt. Bensch explained that the Conditional Use Permit process was
completed; however, when the permit process reached the County
1
Commissipners meeting,
two additional requirements were added to the permit. Mr. Bensch stated that the non-
transferability condition is causing a problem because he is un~ble to sell the property.
His opinion is that the condition is outside of County law and goes beyond the kuthority of the
County. Discussion took place regarding the need for a Condition~! Use Pern\it because the
Hunting Lodge is outside of 1,000' of the lake(s). Mr. Bensch stated that othet businesses in
the area have not been required to obtain a Conditional Use Permit.! He stated that Condition
No. 4 on the CUP was added by resolution of the County Commissioners and \requested that
it be removed by resolution or motion. County Attorney, David Hauser, provided his legal
opinion that the Hunt Club is a commercial use and requires a Conditional \use Permit to
operate. He recommended that a condition on an existing permit riot be take1 off by motion
of the County Board because -the public would not have notide of the fCtion and an
opportunity to give their opinions. Chairman Block requested furth1er researcm on this issue
and requested that the item be placed on the agenda of _the n~xt regular County Board
meeting. I
