HURON — City commissioners have approved first reading of an ordinance clarifying where firearms can and can’t be discharged in the area east of Custer Avenue and south of the railroad right of way near the city lagoons in Custer Township.
Earlier this year, there was considerable discussion of some of the language in the current ordinance because it was seen as confusing. Commissioners met with nearby landowners as new ordinance language was considered.
The revised section reads that “there shall be no discharge of a shot shell shotgun or shooting arrows from a bow outside of city limits that is within 660 feet of a building within city limits, no discharge of a slug shotgun or muzzleloader outside of city limits that is within one-quarter mile of a building within city limits and no discharge of a rifle outside of city limits that is within one mile of a building within city limits.”
Specifically, it pertains to Sections 2, 3, 4, 9, 10 and 11 in Custer Township on the east side of Huron. Parts of those sections are in city limits.
Shooting shot shells is allowed in those areas as long as it’s not within 660 feet of an occupied building.
City Planner Ralph Borkowski said, hopefully, the revised language provides a more clear understanding of what was intended when the ordinance was first approved nine years ago.
