City <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item # 4.3 <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Co~ <br /> <br />Michele McPhersddr~irector of Planning <br /> <br />August 19, 2002 <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission Update <br />Regulation of All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) and Snowmobiles <br /> <br />The August Park and Recreation Commission meeting included a discussion about the <br />regulation of All Terrain Vehicles (ATV's) and snowmobiles. The City Council is asked to <br />provide direction regarding the regulation of these items. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />State Statute, Snowmobile and ATV Regulations <br />City Map, ATV Use Area <br />City Map, Snowmobile Use Area - Option 1 <br />City May, Snowmobile Use Area - Option 2 <br />Draft Ordinance, Chapter 1104 <br />Photos of Proposed River City Snow Riders Cross-City Trail Link <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />As the Council is aware, a "moratorium" was established to prohibit snowmobiling south of <br />County Road 33 early in 2002. The moratorium was enacted in order to give stafftime to <br />develop a revised snowmobile ordinance and adopt new regulations prior to the 2002-2003 <br />snowmobile season. The County established regulations for ATV use within the County on <br />private property. Staff and members of the Park and Recreation Commission are suggesting <br />that these two items be considered by the City Council at the same time as they have similar <br />impacts to the City. <br /> <br />Issues <br /> <br />In order to begin to regulate these types of vehicles within the City, a clear understanding of <br />State Statutes is needed. <br /> <br />S:KPLANNING\MICHMC\CCREPRTS\ATVs-Snowmobiles.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
