Discussion of possible area. There would be too much to deal with including and not limited to treated wood could not be accepted, branches and limbs would have to be chipped, someone would have to man the area. Board is not in favor of compost area. There are not enough resources of means to do it.
Hidden Bear ATV Club/ Loren Nelson and Jim Wisneski present
a. Possible use of Fire Department Town property for ATV Route
Update on the County F areas for possible ATV usage. Possible areas to include Emily Road to Old 32 and Riverside to Knowles Creek Road. Information was presented to Pat Scanlan and it was suggested that the club look for other alternatives with possible land owners than to use County F.
Would not be able to cross the bridge at the Sand Trap because ATV�s cannot be on the blacktop. Marilyn would be willing to let them use part of her land. Will still be looking to use ditch ways from John Lake Road to Old 32, Clubhouse Lane to Whitetail Lane and Riverside to Knowles Creek. The Club has copies of forms to be used for use of private property.
Individuals have been contacting Joe Paul (DNR) to see how they can access the trail from lock out areas. Questioned if they could use the south side of the town�s land on County F? There would be no liability to the town if used.
ATV�s are being run across the in Remus Woods Subdivision areas to hook up on Emily Lane including the town property. They are looking in to the possibility of getting the property owners to allow usage of the land. Maps were presented to the Board of the area to be used.
Lee questioned what was going to be done about the land owners that maintain the land to the road? They probably would not appreciate having ATV�s passing by.
Loren commented they were going to try one side of the road.
Lee questioned if anything has been done to on the issue of requirements for insurance for ATV�s?
Jim commented that nothing is being done with insurance at the state level.
Ten mile per hour signs were placed on Waubee Park Lane, have not received any more complaints at this time. Speeding fines are $501.00 if caught.
The Board concurred to allow usage on the south end of the property to the ATV Club.
