Recreational Vehicles <br />By Chief Jim Way <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Staff presented a revised recreational vehicle ordinance for discussion and consideration at a <br />recent Work Session. The proposed ordinance contains revisions to City Code Section 6.04 <br />"Snowmobiles". The ordinance currently regulates the use of snowmobiles on public and private <br />property in the City of Ramsey. Revisions to this ordinance would include the use of all-terrain <br />vehicles, off-highway motorcycles, mini bikes, mo-peds, go-carts, go-peds, and motorized <br />bicycles, in addition to snowmobiles within the City. <br /> <br />The ordinance will amend the title of Section 6.04 "Snowmobiles" to "Recreational Vehicles" <br />for the inclusion of the above referenced vehicles. A non-use area for recreational vehicles is <br />being designated south of 167th Avenue. However, as described within the ordinance, <br />recreational vehicles will be allowed to operate in the ditch area of Armstrong Boulevard from <br />Central Park to the north. The revision also allows for loading and unloading of recreational <br />vehicles in the City's Elmcrest and Central parks. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends introduction of the "Recreational Vehicle" ordinance, and if accepted, <br />adoption at the August 9, 2005 council meeting. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion by City Council to introduce the ordinance amending City Code with the Recreational <br />Vehicle ordinance. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Chief Jim Way <br />City Attorney Bill Goodrich <br />City Administrator <br /> <br />-285- <br /> <br /> <br />
