I think the location is bad.
Worries about the close proximity of a firing range used by Chattanooga police and other agencies scuttled a proposal on Monday by a landowner to build a bed and breakfast off Moccasin Bend.
“We can’t shut the range down,” said Chattanooga Police Chief David Roddy, who told a planning panel there are 27 jurisdictions which have access to the site that’s utilized in some way every day of the year.
Still, property owner Stephen Holmen said he plans to take the issue to the City Council after the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission voted down his request to rezone a 20-acre parcel off Dogwood Lane that’s within a mile of the range.
Holmen said he wants to construct a nine-unit B&B as well as 11 dwellings such as cabins or tree houses on the tract.
