Dear Friends - Please read the information below and become pro-active on this issue. The Sugarloaf Alliance has a FB page and a website to keep us all up to date on what is happening. Please mark Thursday, July 24 on your calendars - the hearing will begin at 7pm at Winchester Hall in downtown Frederick. Please plan to attend.
The serenity of Sugarloaf Mountain is threatened by a proposed firearms training facility and range. The farm on tranquil Thurston Road abuts land with Stronghold Foundation hiking trails, as well as, several equestrian training and boarding businesses. According to the application: “The proposed use involves the establishment of a training facility for the use of law enforcement and military pers...onnel . . .” Please review copies of the application at the Frederick County offices or on www.sugarloafalliance.org or check it out on Facebook under Sugarloaf Alliance. Time is of the essence as the hearing for this Special Exception before the Board of Zoning Appeals begins on July 24. This proposal will cause greater harm in the Resource Conservation Zone and in an area of hiking and biking trails and active horse facilities than it might in other zones such as the Limited Industrial or General Industrial Zones.
Thanks, Judy
