COUNGIL r4EETING HELD JANUARY 10, 1977 Page 30 <br /> � Dick Benson, City Administrator, informed the HENNEPIN COUNTY PARK <br /> City Council that the City is in reeeipt of a RESERVE DISTRICT <br /> ��etter from the Hennepin County Park Reserve Snowmobi�.es <br /> strict which states that during the past several <br /> � years the �?��A�p� �o�ty Park Reserve District <br /> nas provided snowmobile trails in Carver, Morris <br /> � '-'. Baker, Lake Rebecca, Elm Creek and Crow Hassan <br /> Park Reserves. These trails in the Park Reserves <br /> � have been primarily established on an e3ge of <br /> � a Park Reserve and they are connected to trails <br /> established by various snowmobile clubs leading <br /> r into and going away from a given Park Reserve. <br /> � The problem before the Park Reserve Board is a <br /> request to set later curfew hours for snowmobile <br /> • trails. In considering this matter, the Board is <br /> cognizant to the impact of their decision on <br /> � affected municipal juristrictions. The Board <br /> + '��els it would be mutually useful to get as broad <br /> a consensus as possible between affected <br /> �T�lunicipalities and the District. Th.erefore, we <br /> ���ould appreciate your recommendations, suggestions <br /> • �nd comments as soon as possible on this matter. <br /> � :?resent District regulations place a curfew on <br /> �snowm�bile trails at 10:00 P.ri. from "unday through <br /> Thursday and 12v00 A. M, midnight Friday and <br /> r�aturday nights, <br /> ��_��e two requests before the Board are to increase <br /> the curfew by two hours on both weekday and weekend <br /> �'Lise of from l0°00 P.M. to midnight for Sunday to <br /> ihursday and from 12 a 00 A.P�I. to 2 e 00 A.TZ. on <br /> *rriday and Saturday nights, The other request is <br /> ��o change only Friday and Saturday to 1a00 A.P�. <br /> '�e t^lest Hennepin Snowmobile Club from A�aple <br /> �rlain and the Northwest Trails Association, <br /> an affiliation of several snowmobile clubs in <br /> �iennepin County are making the above requests <br /> :•"��spectively. <br /> `There is some feeling on the part of the District <br /> �'13o�-��d that favorable consideration to a later <br /> �urfew hour may be an imposition and irritation <br /> to a far greater number of people than a granting <br /> �f the request will serve. On the other hand, <br /> ��here is the desire of those who wish to travel <br /> �o various restaurants at night via snowmobile <br /> ��nd return to their homes after these places close. <br /> nclosed for your information is a sheet Iisting <br /> vhe snowmobile curfew regulations presently in <br /> �ffect in various nunicipalities throughout the <br /> ty. Also, we are preparing a map showing the <br /> wmobile trail which has been established <br /> Lnrough the coordination efforts of the snowmobile <br /> ��ubs affiliated with the Northwest Trail Association. <br /> �lzis will be mailed in a day or two, <br /> (Continued) <br /> • <br />
