From the transcript
We've given you a binder of facts about why the Zero Lake site is such a poor location, starting with it's located right next to properties owned, actively used, and being developed into full-time homes. At a minimum, no private property should suffer the devastating consequences that this type of development would bring. We've given you information on the lack of fire service coverage, the fires that have started at other firing ranges, described the heavy use of the entire area for multiple types of year-round use. By residents and visitors alike, and describe the parts of the cost burden that trying to address the necessary infrastructure will mean. We've advised you that the borough does not own any part of the trail, which is called a road.
