COUNTY COMMISSION HEARING ROOM
TANEY COUNTY COURTHOUSE

Call to Order:
Chairman Rick Treese called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. A quorum was
established with seven members present. They were: Rick Treese, Rick Caudill, Ronnie
Melton, Steve Adams, Dave Stewart, Mike Scofield, and Ray Edwards. Staff present:
Bob Atchley and Bonita Kissee.

Mr. Atchley read a statement outlining the procedures for the meeting and
presented the exhibits.

Public Hearings:
Stateline Gun Range: A request by Terry Filczer to operate an outdoor gun range
located at 1505 Stateline Road. Mr. Atchley read the staff report and presented pictures
and video of the site. Mr. Filczer addressed questions from the Commission. Mr. Treese
asked how the stands would be constructed that the gun would be placed in to fire. Mr.
Filczer explained that they would be mounted and bolted down. The distance to the
berm would be approximately 200'. Mr. Filczer's site would be more extensive than the
current county site and they will be using this site for shooting. Mr. Caudill was
concerned about the range. Mr. Filczer stated that he was planning to allow the
automatic weapon 5 degrees of movement range rather than a 15 as was originally
planned. Mr. Caudill wants this added to the decision of record. Mr. Treese discussed
the distance to the closest structure within the line of fire. Mr. Atchley stated that the
closest structure would be approximately 1100', and is downhill. Mr. Filczer stated that
someone would always be onsite to monitor the shooting range. Guests and visitors
would be allowed and identity would be verified. Mr. Scofield asked if felons could be
identified. Mr. Filczer stated that he would not be able to do that, but his sign up sheets
could be pulled up at any time. Terry Brim who lives in the prayer mountain retreat
stated that they have walking trails and have up to 1000 people at a time. They can
hear the shooting from the range. One day a year they have 2000 people. Two days a
week there are classes, and everyday there are people staying at the cabins. Fie has a
wife and three year old child living on the site. The Taney County Fire Station #11 is on
the prayer mountain site. Mr. Adams asked how close the walking trails were to the
range. Mr. Brim stated that it would be really close. He doesn't think this is an
appropriate use this close to his property. Tony who also is with the prayer mountain
retreat presented topo maps of the site, and stated that in his opinion the bullets could
reach the main structure. He pointed out that in the NRA guidelines they suggest a
range be at least 40 acres. A suggestion was made that the berms could be placed to
shoot toward Mr. Filczer's building. There is a school on the prayer mountain property.
It was pointed out that automatic weapons are not legal everywhere. The NRA rules
state that gun ranges should be away from high traffic areas. It was one opinion that
the 15' berms would not buffer the sound from one part of the retreat. Jim Lanzo from
Kimberling City and a friend of the ministry volunteers there. His concerns were that if
someone were to accidentally shoot over the berm and cause damage. Robert Young
who works at the retreat is a retired veteran and engineer. He says that his worries are
about his wife and others walking on the retreat property. He stated that he knows
that people who come there are looking for quiet to relieve stress. He does not feel it is
a safe area to fire automatic weapons. Jean Lanzo stated that the retreat is growing
and expanding around the world. There are more people all the time coming to the
retreat and a gun range would disrupt the tranquility. John Sinpers who was a
helicopter pilot talked about ricocheing. He stated that bullets can and will go
everywhere. He can hear the noise from his house. Louis Filczer, who is the applicant's
father, stated that if the range is moved guns would be fired toward other structures.
Mr. Filczer lives across the Arkansas line. Mr. Melton asked if he could turn the
shooting range to the right (firing toward the east). Mr. Filczer stated that he wanted to
purchase that land, but had not done this yet. He does not plan to fire automatic
weapons every day. Mr. Treese asked if a cost estimate had been obtained for the
defense wall. Mr. Filczer stated that the cost would be about $10,000. After everyone
had spoke Mr. Treese closed the public hearing on this request. This project will
proceed to final vote next week.

His House Bed and Breakfast: a request by Charles and Brenda LeMoine to
operate a bed and breakfast on property owned by Gary and Norma Smalley located at
1482 Lakeshore Dr. Mr. Atchley read the staff report and presented pictures and a
video of the site. Mr. Treese asked that if there was previously a commercial use in the
structure would they still need a permit. Mr. Atchley stated that since this is a change of
use, a new permit would be needed. Jim Brawner who was in charge of construction in
1994 stated that it was built to house a bed and breakfast in the future. There is room
inside the structure for 11 bedrooms and it is set up for that. They would request 10
bedrooms instead of the 7 on the application. There will be less impact on the parking
than was previously. He pointed out that there is a youth facility also on the property.
Mr. Stewart asked if the plan was for a bed and breakfast or to sell the property. Mr.
Brawner stated that the owner wishes to sell it to the applicant to use for a bed and
breakfast. Mr. Edwards asked staff if every request that was different would come
before the Planning Commission. Mr. Atchley stated that this was because the request
would be changing to a greater use. Mr. Caudill asked if there could be an entrance and
an exit. Mr. Brawner stated that they could easily do that. This will be added to the
decision of record. Mr. Stewart pointed out that none of the neighbors were present to
speak against this request. Mr. Robbins who has the property listed, talked to four of
the neighbors and none of them objected. After discussion, Mr. Treese closed the
hearing. This project will proceed to final vote next week.

Old and New Business:
Hollister Recycling Center: an update from staff on a complaint regarding moving
the recycling center to a different location and permitting. Mr. Atchley stated that this
has moved to Freeman Lane, and that the structure has been lots of different
commercial uses and that no Division III has ever been permitted since it was built in
1975. The Planning Commission stated that in their opinion a Division III was not
necessary.

Food Stand: Request from staff regarding whether the Commission wishes to
hear a request for a portable food stand. The owner has two properties in mind, Lloyds
Electric parking lot or off the side of the road on down from there. The Commission
stated that if he puts it on the vacant property he will need a permit. If he puts it on
the parking lot he would not.

Mr. Atchley reported that a property owner wants to get on the next agenda, but
has missed the deadline. The applicant wants the Planning Commission to waive the
deadline. The Planning Commission stated that the deadline would not be waived.

Adjournment:
With no other business on the Agenda for April 8, 2013 the meeting adjourned at
7:38.

COUNTY COMMISSION HEARING ROOM
TANEY COUNTY COURTHOUSE

Call to Order:
Chairman Rick Treese called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. A quorum was
established with six members present. They were: Rick Treese, Randy Haes, Dave
Stewart, Mike Scofield, Steve Adams, and Ray Edwards. Staff present: Bob Atchley and
Bonita Kissee.

Mr. Atchley read a statement outlining the procedures for the meeting and
presented the exhibits.

Review and Action:
Minutes: March 2013, with no additions or corrections a motion was made by
Dave Stewart to approve the minutes as written. Seconded by Randy Haes. The vote to
approve the minutes was unanimous.

Final Votes:
Stateline Gun Range: request by Terry Filczer to operate an outdoor shooting
range for automatic weapons located at 1505 Stateline Road. Mr. Atchley read the
proposed decision of record. There was no representative present. Ray Edwards made a
motion to table. Seconded by Steve Adams. The vote to table was unanimous. Mr.
Filczer arrived late therefore a motion was made by Ray Edwards to rescind his previous
motion. Mr. Adams seconded the motion. The vote to rescind the table was unanimous.
Mr, Adams asked if the berms could be placed in another direction. Mr. Filczer stated
that he could move them 90 degrees to the right or left, but the topography is better as
the first site plan indicates. Discussion followed regarding different directions to face
the berms. Mr. Treese asked that the decision of record show the change in the
direction of the berms. Mr. Edwards stated that in his opinion this is not a compatible
use with the surrounding area. Mr. Filczer stated that in his opinion shooting to the east
is better because there are no structures in that direction. Mr. Stewart feels that 5 acres
is too small to fire automatic weapons. Mr. Filczer stated that most of the time there will
not be automatic weapons, and that safety is his #1 concern. He informed the
Commission that he has purchased 40 more acres to make this range safer. Mr. Stewart
would like the decision of record to show the site includes at least 40 acres. Mr. Haes
would like to see engineered plans for the berms, evidence that he owns the additional
property and sound booths before voting. Mr. Treese advised the applicant that in
order to satisfy the Planning Commission, more information should be presented before
they are willing to come to a vote. Mr. Haes made a motion to table until the added
information can be brought forward. Seconded by Dave Stewart. The vote to table was
unanimous.

Treese asked if there were any single family dwellings adjacent to this site. Mr. Lopez
stated that there weren't. Mr. Edwards questioned the validity of approving more
buildings when only half of the original approval was built out. Mr. Lopez stated that if
the market picks up, he would like to already be permitted. Mr. Atchley informed the
applicant that according to the current regulations, an onsite manager must be in place.

VETERANS VICTORY VILLAGE
2657 Sunset Inn Road, Branson, MO 65616-9766
PRO JECT DESCRIPTION
Introduction:
For many Disabled Veterans, and their families, returning to their normal life or lifestyle,
will be an enormous challenge and a nearly impossible task when rebuilding their futures.
Each member of a Disabled Veteran's family needs new inspiration, and the elimination of the
incredible stress that tears at the fabric of the relationship between parents and the children.
To ultimately become victorious when facing their overwhelming challenges and tasks,
focus must be put on creating an environment that stimulates their need to become self-reliant.
The Victory Village is an environment created to minimize hurt and maximize opportunity;
consisting of residential domes, where each dome is designed as a 'Community Village', in a
unique setting, complete with a myriad of activities for the entire family, while functioning as
'neighborhoods' where the children can play safely and parents can socialize with each other.
The Project:
The Victory Village is situated on 139.4 acres, and has been specifically designed for families
of Disabled Veterans, where they can enjoy a luxurious, creative, and independent lifestyle,
in unique 1-, 2-, and 3- bedroom apartments, on a lease basis, and with an option to purchase.
Six 220’ diameter residential domes, with approximately 35 apartments each - depending on
the types of the apartments - will be placed 250’ apart from dome structure to dome structure.
Each dome will be surrounded by a greenbelt of planters, gardens, and solariums or terraces.
Taking extra care not to disturb the natural character and qualities of the site any more than is
absolutely necessary, the Village will be created as a green park, with an emphasis on Nature:
o Storm W ater Containm ent - Parking lots and aisles have GrassPave™ and GravelPave™
permeable paving, including Rainstore™ basins for sub-surface water detention, retention,
pollution filtration and treatment, water reuse, and recycling (see Invisible Structures.com).
o W aste W ater M anagement - Additional storm water retention will be provided with the
creation of one or more deep and aerated ponds - landscaped and maintained like a park.
Gardens, grassland, and athletic fields will be irrigated with the clean, recycled water from
the Sheaffer System™, where it percolates into the ground and recharges the groundwater.
o Dome Structures - Enhanced and integrated with the landscaping of their surroundings,
and architecturally and aesthetically pleasing, the Monolithic Domes™ render themselves
as the ultimate energy-saving, safe, and eco-friendly structures suitable for the Village:
^ Alternative and Renewable Energy Technology
S FEMA compliant community shelters with "Near absolute protection"
S Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEEDS®) accredited
S Tornado proof, Hurricane proof, Earthquake proof, Fire resistant, and Bomb resistant
- l-
The Site:
The Victory Village will be developed as a multi-functional residential and recreational park.
First and foremost, it is for the enjoyment and wellbeing of the Disabled Veterans’ families,
but also for their extended circle of families, relatives, friends, and fellow-veterans’ families.
Utilizing the vast amount of open space, and presenting multiple outdoor activities as part of
the healing process, opportunities have been created for non-resident Disabled Veterans and
their families to participate in a wide variety of sports, games, competitions, and tournaments.
Approximately 17 acres will be cultivated as a camping and picnic area, including RV parking,
for family reunions and get-togethers, with a sectioned-off and guarded play area for children.
An additional 11 acres of wilderness area will be preserved for the disabled and non-disabled,
who enjoy hiking, biking, and horseback riding, on natural and wheelchair-accessible trails.
To optimize the enjoyment of the residents, and accommodate the patronage of their visitors,
various multi-purpose domes will be interspersed throughout the site for year-round activities:
o Social Activity Dome - Designed for family activities and celebrations for residents and
their visitors, with several small shops and dining facilities with a deck overlooking a pond;
featuring a roof garden for private and social parties with neighbors, and nightly stargazing.
o Aquatic Dome: - An abundance of aquatic activities will play a major role in the process
of healing and stimulating the physical and psychological challenges of disabled veterans,
as well as in the efforts of reinforcing a healthy relationship between parents and children.
Along with a competitive pool, YMCA pool, water polo pool, and a children’s play pool,
the aquatic activities will include Endless Pools™ for therapy, exercise, and water aerobics.
o Welcome Dome: - Prior to the development of the site, introductions need to be made to
the families of the Disabled Veterans about the potentiality of becoming residents of the
Victory Village, with an explanation of the process of making wounded families whole.
Information and educational material will be displayed; PowerPoint presentations will be
made to small and large group gatherings; and guided tours will provide a ‘feel’ of the site.
o Grow Dome: - Adjacent to, and in conjunction with a restaurant in the Welcome Dome,
the Grow Dome will function as an ultra-green indoor environment, specifically designed
as a walk-through educational garden, with hydroponic, aquaponic, and vertical farming
systems, operated and maintained by resident gardeners, and assisted by college students.
o Ladybug and C aterpillar Dome - A multitude of equipment, play things, and activities
for disabled and non-disabled children will add to the wellbeing of the veterans’ families.
o Therapy Dome - To provide the best environment for the therapy and treatment of the
Disabled Veterans, two domes will be specifically designed and made available at all times
to accommodate the need for their private and group sessions with professional assistance.
o Retirement Dome - In addition to the 6 residential domes for Disabled Veterans’ families,
one residential dome will be built for Retired Veterans, who will be employed to assist the
veterans and their families as mentors, tutors, therapists, coaches, teachers, and counselors.

Why Domes?
66There is NO structure in the world that is stronger and safer
Than the Monolithic Dome,..Except, maybe, a rock!"
a Unequaled in its simplicity, unparalleled in its versatility, the Monolithic Dome™ can be
built in virtually any shape and size imaginable.
9 The Monolithic Dome is able to withstand the forces of nature as well as the force of an
explosion, with NO structural damage.
* The roof will not blow off in a hurricane or tornado, nor slide off in a major earthquake;
and the all-concrete shell will make the dome fireproof.
® There are no structural support elements other than the dome shell itself, and no columns,
trusses and girders to obstruct the interior view.
® The dome interior is completely independent from the shell, rendering design possibilities
virtually without limitations.
© Dome shells will be “sprayed in place” quickly and efficiently, by expert certified crews.
9 Dome construction will be performed inside an inflated fabric form, from start to finish,
regardless of weather conditions outside.
a Dome shells can be erected sequentially and continually, in rapid succession, and can be
ready for the finishing contractors within weeks.
9 Monolithic Dome™ construction will not disturb or interrupt any surrounding activities,
thereby allowing for simultaneous site preparation, cleaning and landscaping, immediately.
9 Dome design, engineering, site development, storm- and waste water management, and
construction management will be performed with associated professionals and specialists.
9 The dome’s impressive energy-saving, thermal-efficient values allow for the dome to be
paid for with the money saved on the energy bill.
® The thermal conductivity of the shell allows the heat generated inside the dome by normal
activities to be absorbed and stored in the shell during the day, and slowly released at night
9 The inside temperature can be kept extraordinarily stable, cutting the heating and cooling
bill by 50% to 75%.
9 There will be NO condensation with sub-zero temperatures outside and high humidity
inside, such as in the pool dome.
