Any fair-minded person can see that meeting both parties in the middle was a clever and necessary move. A great example of the art of compromise. This decision gives Mr. Dykers the opportunity to exercise his right as a landowner (someone who has paid taxes on over 600 acres of land for decades) and local businessman to pursue his vision for his property & business. He also has the opportunity to prove himself a "good neighbor" by working hard to ensure that there is reasonably minimal audio interference in the lives of his neighbors that could result from the sporting clay sessions. So, instead of hyperventilating and assuming airs of self-righteous indignation over the Board of Supervisors' amazingly fair decision, people need to just need to settle down, take a deep breath, remind themselves that they live in the country where the sound of gunfire is not unusual, and think about the precedent that could have been set if the BOS had denied the CUP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870152115683426710.post-58465872782993578872013-01-10T20:11:14.329-05:002013-01-10T20:11:14.329-05:00Ms. Warick's effort at journalism does leave s...Ms. Warick's effort at journalism does leave something to be desired. She was actually at the meeting and THIS is what she wrote? Her take is almost as shoddy as the Dyker's faux representation of their intentions.

We are just a little over a mile from the new site for the Sporting Clays Range and will hear every one of the potential 900 shots per day during the approved time frame. Any and all of the Goochland County Supervisors are welcome to come and listen to the results of their decision. We don't understand when this got to be a personal matter but neither of us are anyone's "minion".

I don't know James Gottwald, have never met the man and am no one's minion.
