Memo to the Mayor and City Council ATV and Snowmobile Regulations Page 3 This memo outlines potential regulations for areas to be determined by the City Council. As ATVs can be used year-round, it may be easiest to separate the two uses, especially since there can also be the formation of private ATV tracks. Suggested ATV Regulations: City- Wide Regulations · No riding on streets (prohibited by State Statute) · Allow riding on private, non-platted lots 2.5 acres or greater; you must own the property or have written permission on your person and consistent with Sherburne County Ordinance · No riding on/in parks, public trails, school grounds, or golf courses · Allow agricultural or utility use with permits Restricted A rea Regulations · No riding in roadside ditches (there is no legal way to access them) · No riding on platted lots less than 2.5 acres or in outlots/open space of cluster plats · You must trailer your ATV to an approved trailhead, yet to be identified In winter, allow riding on Lake Orono not closer than 100 feet from the shoreline, skating rinks, fish houses, and pedestrians Special Regulations/Exceptions · Allow riding in the Highway 101/169 corridor as regulated by State Statute Suggested Snowmobile Regulations: City- Wide Regulations · No riding on/in parks, public trails, school grounds, or golf courses Outside the Restricted Area, you may ride in the street (between the curblines) and in ditches of County Roads per State Statutes · Outside the Restricted Area, you may ride on property you own or for which you have written permission on your person Restricted A rea Regulations · No riding, except on platted lots greater than 2.5 acres · You must trailer your snowmobile to an approved trailhead Special Regulations/Exceptions · Allow riding on the Highway 169 corridor · Allow the connection from Parrish Avenue, along Main Street to County Road 13 · Allow riding on the Highway 10 corridor west out of town from the Orono Park trailhead · Allow riding on Lake Orono not closer than 100 feet from shoreline, skating rinks, fish houses, and pedestrians. For snowmobiling, using the Urban Service District boundary to demark the Restricted Area will require additional signage in key locations. Multiple county roads travel into the urban core; once a snowmobiler gets into the urban core, there is no safe or legal place to ride. County Road 33 has been previously used, as it is an easily identifiable landmark.
