<br />City of Centerville <br />Planning and Zoning Commission <br />December 2, 2008 <br /> <br />Chair Love introduced Mayor Capra and Councilmember Broussard-Vickers to <br />Commissioners Wekseth and Lange. <br /> <br />III. APPEARANCESIPRESENT ATION(S) <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />IV. PUBLIC HEARING(S) <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />V. OLD BUSINESS <br /> <br />1. Snowmobile Use (Update) <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson stated that the City did not know, at this time, whether the <br />County would have changes in their practice regarding the use of snowmobiles along the <br />highway and in some other areas. He stated that, in the future, using the ditches will <br />probably be prohibited, but nothing has been changed at this point. He believes the County <br />may be leaving it up to the City. He added that, at this point, the snowmobiles could be <br />used on City streets to and from their homes. <br /> <br />Chair Love inquired as to how much longer work would continue on the streets. City <br />Administrator Larson replied that it is close to being completed. He added, however, that <br />work still needed to be done on some streetlights. <br /> <br />Chair Love inquired whether the snowmobiles could be used on the unpaved sections of <br />the roads. Mayor Capra stated that snowmobiles should not be on the paved trails. <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard-Vickers suggested that they wait and see how much snow there <br />will be, what issues arise, and what the County decides to do. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson stated that it is the City's intention to plow the trails, and the <br />plowed trails would not be attractive to snowmobiles. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wood pointed out that there are many houses close to where snowmobiles <br />would be driven. <br /> <br />Chair Love stated that snowmobiles would be allowed to run on City streets, but not on <br />County roads. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson pointed out that the Ordinance states snowmobiles cannot be <br />driven on trails. <br />Commissioner Mosher stated that, at the four-way stop, the snowmobiles could not cross <br />by the gas station because of the wider lanes. <br /> <br />Page 2 of3 <br />
