Williamsburg Zoning Board of Appeals Issue: Please remove all restriction placed upon the Hodgkins Family and their Land at 74 Village Hill Road. 1.”The shooting range will return to pre November 2003 patterns of usage and scale.” Our family, friends and Law Enforcement Agencies have shot at the range daily, between the hours of 0800-2200 since the1930’s there is ample evidence and witness testimony to this. 2. “Use of automatic weapons shall return to pre November 2003 levels.” Again, all types of firearms were used by the above stated on the property since the1930’s. 3.” No organized shooting groups will have access to the shooting range.” Law Enforcement Agencies, Massachusetts Army National Guard and Local 4-H all used the range prior to the November 2003 date given. 4.”Use of the shooting range, to test firearms, to instruct or train in the use of automatic weapons is prohibited.” At no time has the range been used for said uses, except by Law Enforcement Agencies and 4-H groups. 5.”All commercial activity, including activity related to commercial interests, such as gun dealers, is prohibited.” Again, the range has never been used for said uses. We ask the ZBA to remove all restrictions placed upon the Hodgkins family and their Land immediately and return to Massachusetts firearms regulations and guidelines. Thank You for your support,

Ridiculous to mess with their property rights after all these years. The zoning board needs to get a life.

They teach 4-h kids there and help law enforcement. Why would anyone want to shut that down?

The restrictions are just plain wrong when you look at the history. Its been used for training for decades. Let it be.

TOTAL OVERREACH. These people have been using that range since the thirties without issue. Stop the harassment.

This family has been there forever. Leave them alone and let them use their own land like they always have.
