on - District 3B I really don't have a dog in this fight, but I live in the area and see way too many kids behind the wheel of golf carts on the road. If the individual is required to be licensed, and put a plate on the cart as ATV's and Side by Side's are required and pay a tab fee to be on the road, there should be no reaso n not to allow them. Currently All ATV riders born after

1987 are required to complete at a minimum an online class to meet Safety Certificate

Requirements, the Golf carts should be the same. I have a licensed driver at home that is

16 that is not allowed

to drive my Side by Side in the ditch or trails without a safety certificate, I certainly don't want anyone on the shoulder of a county road next to traffic without the same credentials. Thank you for your comments. Every person operating a motorized golf cart under permit on designated County Roads has all the rights and duties applicable to the driver of any other vehicle under the provisions of Minnesota

Statutes, Chapter 169, except when those

provisions cannot reasonably be applied to motorized golf carts. In addition, the County will review all requests to allow golf carts on

County Roads within City or Township limits,

and ensure the City or Township has an existing ordinance in place that addresses all factors necessary to provide for safe and responsible operation of golf carts on county roads. 2

I am totally against golf carts on county roads. The ATV thing has been a total disaster with riders abusing the rules. Golf carts are slower and too under powered to safely cross a road or intersection. Thank you for your comments. Concerning crossing a road or intersection using a golf cart, state statute already allows permitted golf carts to cross any street or highway intersecting a designated roadway (MN Statute 169.045 Subd. 5). 3

Brown Hi - I am a property owner at Whitebirch RV and Camping Resort in Breezy Point. I am writing to support the proposed ordinance to allow golf carts on county roads 4, 11, and 39.
My husband and I use our golf cart as our primary mode of transportation in Breezy Point

all summer. I think giving us more road accessibility is a good idea. Thank you for your comments. This ordinance

will allow individual Cities and Townships within Crow Wing County to request that golf carts be allowed to operate on county roads within their respective boundaries. 7

Jurek Vote Yes to allowing golf carts on these roads: 4, 11 & 39. We appreciate the privileges we have already been given by visiting the city hall and purchasing the city permit! We love supporting the community and we would then be able to visit more area's.

4/4/19 Tim Terrill I approve of the Breezy Point golf cart ordinance and ask that crow wing county allow for

golf carts on county roads in the city limits of Breezy Point

Thank you for your comments. 14

4/4/19 Randy Trask Dear Commissioners,

I am a seasonal resident of Crow Wing County owning property in Breezy Point and am one of the more than 400 golf cart owners that use our golf cart as a primary way to allow eco-friendly travel while in Breezy Point. Each year I license my golf cart with Breezy Point, and as part of that process, am required to provide evidence of insurance. In Breezy Points golf carts are common place and have been coexisting with automobiles for years. Having the restriction lifted to allow us to use the ten foot shou lders on County Roads 4, 11 and 39 would provide us the flexibility to access a number of important destinations in our golf carts and would be a welcome addition to the rules recently relaxed to allow ATVs to travel on those shoulders. Consider me a resounding voice in support of the golf cart restriction on County Roads 4,

11 and 39.

Thank you for your consideration.

Thank you for your comments. This ordinance

4/5/19 David Caird I think it would be great if we could use out golf cards on the county roads we own a

house on 11 and a property at White birch it would be so easy just to take the golf cart back and forth thank you

I live in Breezy Point and personally feel that since it is a resort area that this ordinance should be passed.

Dear Crow Wing County Land Services:

We are weekend seasonal residence at WhiteBirch RV Resort in Breezy Point (Block 19

Lot 9).

We just learned about the 'Golf Cart Ordinance 30 Day Public Comment' opportunity, and want to thank the County for at least considering this wonderful option.

Yes, we would

fully support the passing of this Ordinance. Of course, for the safety of all involved, I would expect that this would be during daylight hours, with proper slow vehicle signage (we have a reflective red triangle and our golf cart with campground number, block number and lot number, along with a registered seasonal permit through the City of Breezy Point). Also, making sure the drivers are of legal age and the golf cart is properly insured, are very important regulations. There are so many reasons why this would be a wonderful option. Taking our golf cart down to the local restaurant, groceries, or just a nice easy ride to the resort would be wonderful. This would even allow us to go shopping in Pequot Lakes, or perhaps Nisswa on a nice sunny day.

Thank you for your comments. Section 3 of the

proposed ordinance outlines the requirements to obtain a permit through the city/township to operate on County Roads. Requirements of

Section 3 include:

3.3 Motorized golf carts may only be

operated on the right shoulder or the extreme right-hand side of the road,

3.4 Motorized golf carts may only be operated

on designated County Roads from sunrise to sunset, unless equipped with original equipment headlights, taillights and rear-facing brake lights,

3.5 Motorized golf carts may not be operated in

inclement weather or when visibility is impaired 19

Thanks for at least considering this, and have a safe and fun summer! by weather, smoke, fog, or other conditions, or at any time when there is insufficient light to clearly see persons and vehicles on the roadway at a distance of 500 feet.

3.6 Motorized golf carts shall display the slow-

moving vehicle emblem provided for in

Minnesota Statutes, §169.522, and shall be

equipped with a mirror so located as to reflect to the driver a view of the highway for a distance of at least 200 feet to the rear of such vehicle as required by Minnesota Statutes, §169.70.

Concerning legal age of golf cart operators,

every person operating a motorized golf cart under permit on designated County Roads has all the rights and duties applicable to the driver of any other vehicle under the provisions of

Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 169, except when

those provisions cannot reasonably be applied to motorized golf carts. In addition, the County will review all requests to allow golf carts on

County Roads within City or Township limits,

and ensure the City or Township has an existing ordinance in place that addresses all factors necessary to provide for safe and responsible operation of golf carts on county roads.

As a resident of breezy point I ask that you not allow this. They are such a nuisance here already. They drive down the middle of the road, refuse to move over and have 6 people hanging off the golf cart with alcoholic drinks in their hands. I'm fed up with the golf carts. I can't drive my atv on the road(which at least goes speed of traffic) don't let these golf cart people cause more issues

Thank you for your comments. As required by

this proposed ordinance, golf carts would be allowed to cross any street or highway but they must be operated on the right shoulder or the extreme right-hand side of the road.

Feedback: I don't really care. Golf carts on roads have never really bothered me, and it seems like it's pretty nice for visitors to be able to make quick trips to restaurants/stores form the resorts. I've never seen anyone driving them unsafely- including (and especially) teenagers. We live in a resort area, happy tourists are good for us, letting people zip around in golf carts makes for happy tourists.

Thank you for your comments.

County Road 11 is very twisty over by Bushmann as drivers head out of town and I used to run on it all of the time. But these days running on the side of hwy 11 is barely safe for runners (I have recently stopped running on hey 11 due to the risks) with the inattentive drivers texting, talking, eating while driving that causes swerving at high speeds and could really cause a lot of damage to a golf cart! I can see it being available for golf carts on hwy 11 near the resort gas station where the speed limits are reduced but not once they get outside to the 55 mph zones. Thank you for taking my opinion into consideration with this ordinance.

Thank you for your comments. If the proposed

Golf Cart Ordinance is passed, all legally

permitted golf carts must display the slow- moving emblem as required by MN Statute

169.522. In addition to the slow-moving

emblem, golf carts may not be operated in inclement weather or when visibility is impaired and they may only be operated from sunrise to sunset unless equipped with headlights, taillights, and rear facing brake lights. 22

Really a golf cart ordinance? What about all the other recreational traffic? What hazards apply to using a golf cart really lets be real! I think the county has more important things to do then harass people with a golf cart.

Thank you for your comments. Minnesota

Statute 16

9.045 prohibits golf cart operation on

County Roads unless the County Board adopts

an ordinance allowing their use. 23

This ordinance has been requested by the City of

Breezy Point because golf carts are used as a

major method of transportation within their city limits.

Concerning other recreational traffic, in 2018

Crow Wing County passed a revision to

Ordinance #0601 regulating the use of ATV's

on County roads.

To Whom It May Concern:

We are writing in support of the proposed ordinance to allow golf carts to travel on county roads in the city of Breezy Point. While we understand this is not the most serious and pressing issue facing our county and city, we are pleased that our city officials and council are working with Crow Wing County to discuss this possibility. When we moved to Breezy Point four years ago we noticed that many, many residents were utilizing golf carts to travel side streets. We purchased a cart for using on the golfquotesdbs_dbs21.pdfusesText_27
