DISCUSSION ITEMS <br /> <br />1. Snowmobiles - CSAH 14 & CSAH 54 <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson requested that the use of snowmobiles on CSAH 14 and CSAH <br />54 be discussed. He suggested that the restriction in the Ordinance should extend farther <br />east than previously was the case, because of the construction and the fact that there are no <br />ditches. He suggested that the snowmobiles could go down the side streets. He added that <br />Centerville's Ordinance follows the County's Ordinance, and the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission would need to get feedback regarding this from Anoka County. <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard-Vickers stated that, in the last few years, there has not been <br />much snow. She stated that about 3 years ago, however, there was some discussion about <br />not allowing snowmobiling within the City anymore, and that caused a huge outcry. She <br />added that the Rice Creek Snowmobile Association had a few members and a few <br />volunteers who claimed they did not know what the rules were. She stated that the <br />proposed trails on 20th would take up the right-of-way, and there would not be enough safe <br />distance from the pedestrian walkways. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wood read a section of Chapter 72 regarding snowmobiles. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued. <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard-Vickers suggested that the Commission request that the County <br />think about what the restrictions will be and respond back to the Commission by January. <br /> <br />Chair Love stated that they would have to wait for the roads to change and the snow to fly <br />to see if there would be an issue or not. He stated that, two years ago, snowmobilers made <br />a promise to be more careful. <br /> <br />Page 2 of3 <br />
