What is the name of your state? Minnesota
My family purchased 40 acres of wooded property several years ago exclusively for hunting. We recently learned that there is a developer who wants to build 30 houses in the adjoining 40 acre parcel. State laws prohibit a hunter from discharging a firearm within 500 feet of an occupied structure (some municipalities require 1000 feet). Given the housing density that is planned for the other pacel of land, it is a fair assumption that there will be houses much closer than 500 feet from our property. This will essentially restrict the use of our land by a significant amount. The development is only in the planning stages at this time. Do we have any recourse to block the development?
