Sheridan County Commission Endorses Paintball Competition Event
In a recent meeting, the Sheridan County Commission has given the green light for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for an outdoor commercial recreational paintball facility and first-responder training platform. The proposed site for this unique facility is located at 805 State Highway 338, also known as Decker Road.
The approval comes with specific conditions, although the exact details are not fully specified. These conditions are likely to address common concerns related to outdoor recreational and training activities, such as environmental protections, public safety, and community impact.
The permit allows for the operation of the paintball facility with commercial recreational use. The site will also serve as a training platform for first responders. The business will occupy approximately the eastern 1/3 of an 85+ acre property.
Some of the conditions included in the CUP are:
- Waste materials at the site must be fully enclosed or removed.
- A new CUP may be necessary for any future structure modifications or additions.
- The use of fully-shielded cut-off lighting fixtures for exterior lighting is required.
- Improvements for highway access or signage, as specified by the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT), are necessary.
Any future structure modifications or additions will require county building permits. The permit does not specify any changes to the location of the facility at 805 State Highway 338 (Decker Road). The permit also includes a first-responder training platform, but specific details regarding this aspect are not provided.
For precise conditions and full implications, one would typically refer to the official minutes or documents from the Sheridan County Commission meeting on the CUP approval, as well as county planning department records concerning the permit's stipulations.
This decision marks a significant step forward for the development of this unique facility, combining recreational paintball activities with first-responder training, all within the community framework of Sheridan County.
The Sheridan County Commission, having approved the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the outdoor commercial recreational paintball facility and first-responder training platform, will require any future structure modifications or additions to undergo a new CUP evaluation. Interestingly, the permit also includes provisions for a first-responder training platform, but the specific details regarding this aspect remain undisclosed.
