Public Hearing concerning a proposed chowwabile ordinagce for the OR11INANCE
Village of Plymouth, evaluating a new winter sport.
The people of our area are a hearty bunch. The climatd is consid-
ered by many to be unaccepta41%ZL , but we stake the best of it with
winter sports and other adaptive measures. We have a good labor totce,
a strong economy and an interesting Nay of life. Snowmohiling is a
new sport and a fine recreation. It has provided emplaymevat, indusr
try and enjoyment to thousands of Minnesotanis. However, like skiing,
boating, hunting, car -riding and many other sports; abuses began to
develop and several months ago complaint^. be3an to develop; the noise,
running over shrubs and small trees, trespassing on private property,
late fours, and running near fish houses. %?a felt that Plymouth
would 'be the only tawn in the metropolitan area without; an ordinance
which would a«.act numbers from adjacent conenunitiea to do this type
of recreation. The council Jecided to delay any action until the pr"
ponente and opponents had a chance to prepare for a public hearing at
which time the whole problem could he discussed. We alao encouraged
certain snowmobile associations to study our proposeO ordinance and
come to th s meeting ,eith their recommendations. Police Chief Hawktn-
son was also 35%ed to study and n ake comments on enforcement of the
proposed ordinance."

sooner And will continue tonight in precisely the game way. The citimens
were asked to keep their comments short and not duplicate what others
WOC slid. Ile directed the Attorney to keep o record of the comments
so that in the event the Council muvns to direct the Aptj ney to rewrite

P#agraph 2: On public school grounds, park property, playgroande,
recreational areas withouteuTress provisionP or permission to do so
by the proper public authority.
or RE: RUDOILPH
LETTER kEe SNOW-
MOBILING
iib believe that Park property, playgrounds or recreational areas
should be eiricken from this paragraph, We believe that our park
properties ars play areas, and what other use do they have in winter
when covered with two to three feet of snow? We also agree that any
area used for skating rinks or hockey rinks should be posted and not
for use of,'snowmobilers. An example of this is the park area recently
purchased by the village on the West Shore of Medicine Lake. (Charlie's
Beach) It a snowmobiler unloads his machine from his trailer on the
side of Jis road in this area he would be forbidden by law to cross
this short piece of property or park area to get to Medicine Lake. In
some cakes not more than 40 feet.
Paragraph 3: 6b any ice covered public waters within 100 feet of any,
fisherman, pedestrian, skating or sliding area or in anv other area on
such ice covered public watcre where the operation would endanger other
per;ions or property.
We believe this shotala be changed tc add except at closed throttle.
Several people have p-irchssed these machines so that they can get out
to their fishhouses. T:;ia lay, would prohibit them from getting closer
than 100 feet of their Muse with t'&is machine where un auto is auth-
orized to drive right up to th:: houae, when the house is in a group.
Paragraphs 4 through 11% We have no ohjectioas and will assist whenever
possible to inform any violators of .any of these laws of the violation
and report any who will not conform to the laws.
Paragraph 12: Upon the rrladway, boulevard, or inside hank or slope of
any street or highway unlres the operator shall have a valid motor
vehicle driver's license issued to him by the State of Minnesota or is
accompanied by such a licensed driver, who is actually occupying a seat
in the vehicle.
We believe this should include and allow a competent perFrn to be allow-
ed a direct crossing of a street wirhout being a licensed driver.
Example, a 14 year old child has permission to use a field acrnsas the
road from his home. lie could not cro;1s the road until one of his
parents, if licensed, comes Dome from oork. A wife, not licensed,
could not take the machine across the read for her child.
Paragraph 13: Between the hours of 12:06 A.M. tend 8:10 A.M. of each day.
We believe this should he stricken from the amendmenv. It is the opin-
ion of the group that there should he no mores restriction of the. hours
of snowmohtling than or, riding a motorcycle, onernting a motor boat, or
even driving an automobile. If the snowmobile meets the muffler require-
ments, there should be no problem. Also a person could not use his machine
to 8o out to his fish houne an a lake before 8:00 A.M. We do not believe
that a boat ,should bo% restricted prior to that hour, therefore no restriction
should be rut on the time.
Co`:ncil Minutes - March 10, 1969 - Page 7
We w1sh to bring to the attention of the Council that Minnesota is
fast'hicoming one of the leading producers of snc.wmbbiles, and are
bringi S much employment to the state, and are bringing much tax
money into the state and locality. It is believed that few if any
of the 1%16ividual snowmobi.lers will over claim a rebate for any gas
tax used uy these machines.
The group farther brings attention to the Council that there is a
bill beforR the state legislature as follows:
Snowmobiles - SF 551 - Mammcnga (L), A. Perpich (L), V. K. Jensen (Y.)
Traffic Would permit snowmobiles to make direct: cross -

It was further agreed by the majority of the Group that donation of their

We would drive.
Councilman Humphrey asked Mr. Rudolph what efforts, if any, were being
made by snowmobilers from going over lawns and hurting; the grass. Mr.
Rudolph said he was not able to answer that question, as lit: had not
received any complaints and felt these would go through the Police
Department. Their group has thought of organizing like the Rum River
Snowmobile Travelers, A list of names, addresses and pi ene numbers
in their, gro::p was given to the Council.
Mayor 1F.1de commended Mr. Rudolph on his presentation and told him that
if their group organized, the village might see fit to call on them
regarding a problem or to give counsel to someone regarding a prob!.ekn.
Mr. Rudvlph stated their group would also be willing to answer any
village call for assistance of snowmobile operators.

Mr. Fred Hafner, 3212 Jonquil LAne North, lives on Medicine Lace and RE: P11elLIC HTJ RING
stated he does not own a snowmobile, but has had a chance to observe SNOWMOBILE ORDI`Z-
them on the lake as they descend from the north and south. He is ANCC
not opposed Lo them. It appears that it is a good .ray for people
to expend their energy, but feels if they were forced to be muffled
like cars and motorcycles they would not be a nuisance and violation
of personal property when they create damage is the only real bad
point.
M:. Loron Schlebe, 13425 34th Avenue North - stated there is an
organization started in Plymouth called the Plymouth Horsemen look-
ing for recreation, trails, etc. He is going tc attend their meet-
ing tonight at the American Legion Hall W Hamel. They want to
teen up with trails all the way to Le Seuer and wish to corporate
Minnetonka and Plymouth for horse trails in the aummer and snowmobile
trails in the winter. Mr. Lawrence F. Samstead of the Plymouth Horsee-
14en's Club is keeping a cost analysis of the trails. The recreational
use is unlimited including horseback riding, hiking, bicycling, bird
watching, snowmobiling, etc. Mr. Schiebe feels it is worthwhila.to
look into this. Representatives of the club plan to attend the bear-
ing for the proposed hoofed animal ordinance in April. Mr. Schiet,e
requested the Council to hold off any decision of the snowmobile
ordinance until the subject of trails can be worked out with them.
Mr. Ted Schroeder, 1605 Garland Lane agreed wholeheartedly with
Mr. RudolpVi- statements. Also, he dated if they attend a dance
on a Saturday night and go by snowmobile or to another's home to get
together, he does not feel they should have to go home at t«elve.
if the machine is properly muffled o' would be able to st4y at e
place until closing time.
Mr. Frank Seward, 16920-D 11th Avenue North - stated the ordinances
used to build this one seemed to be only from communities east and
south of Plymouth. Mr. Lefler said lee took ordinances from those,
communities who had them. Mr. Seward asked who would be the judge
of the speed of a snowmobile And whether an operator was careless.
Chief Hawkinson said there would have to be cause, such as careless
driving in traffic cases. Mr. Seward stated the Highway Traffic
Code has a ruling that you are not to crown highways, and the Con-
servation Code says you can cross the roved and asked how this could
be explained. Mayor Hilde said this subject was not a ; roblem for
this discusAlon. Mr. Seward said his snowaiohile runs better with
the cutout open and is louder, but the ordinance said no cutouts
are to he used. The Attorney replied that the ordinance does pro%
hibit this and Council must take this into consid'eeation.
Mrs. Maxine lloaratick, 3850 North Renium Lare = stated that in re-
gard to private property the ordinance ruling in good.
Mr. .ferry L. Ness, 2180 hemlock Lane - stated he agroed with Donald
Rudolph's statements and considered snowmobiling a greot thing. More
people get together then they did before during the winter. Fpople
are drawn to raceA and ether community affairs such as the lion's
race. He feels we should have this in the community to welcome others
and it helps bustneaa.

Mr. Bruee,Chase. 15920 14th Avenue North - he and his wife moved to

Mr. Jioco H. Ilammill,. 5320 - B Pine-viaw Lane North - urged passage
of the ordinance as propose* for a good many reasons. Ile feels the
stipulations do not limit or impede operation of a snownobtle. It
would make for peace and qu)e: for his wife and baby. He feels that
there should be a mutiler reqtuored at 200 A.M. or any other time
of the nlRht or dray. The noise should be controlled as a consider-
ation for the neighbors. The property damage is too eae{ly glossed
over. He fealn that it is easy to get permission from a property
owner and it is 4ont a rule urging consideration of property that
Is not youe's. There is a property damage itability on the part of
the operator and each spring he has had to pica, up broken and killed
pine trees. He does not vant to rostrict the a ijoyment of anowmobiling.

Mayor Hilde ct mnended Mr. Hamill on his courage to explain his
feelings. Ur. llamr.ill said he did not consider his remarks as need-
ing courage as they were meant in a friendly way.
Mayor 11ilde said the fact that it worked rather well to have announced
this well in acvan;e as the public had its thoughts on the suhject well
prepared. This is being done for the harse control ordinance, too.
Mrs. Violet Seal, 11835 28th Avenue North - said site agreed with Mr.
Hammill. Her j:oncern is for the property damage incurred when ice
kills the Rras!3, Oso her strawberries and raspherrien. The ordinance
seems tu provide no protection for pheasants and small antmaln which
are flushed out and chaseds as well as safety of small children. She
stated the cxcesnive noise is ridiculous and dtaturbinR to families.
She feels it is a good ordinance.
Marlene Barren, 4710 Larch Lane North - stated races on golf courses
would not be allowed as grass would be hurt. She Bels mast people,
are respectful of private property, but these laws will not make the

park his car where he intended to, because they were gotng to run
their snowmobiles through there. Others who had been drinking dar-
aged the fish house. He wanted to know if the ordinance} cowered
drinking. Mayor Hilde read that part of the ordinance to his.
3o one further appeared, and Mayor Hilde declared the public hearing
closed at 6:50 P.M.
Mayor Hilde complemented the group on the way the hearing was con-
ducted and stated representation of large groups is a sign of good
help'and advice. He sato that although this is an important mattes,
he wondered her it ranked aside of taxes and childrW,a education.
The Village of Plymouth spends money for police seroice, assessment
service, fire service, street maintenance, etc.. About 112 of the
tax dollar comes to Plymouth Village. 222 goes to the County, and
672 goes to the School District for education. Many people do not
realise that this is the way it works. A separate government runs
the school government, but w get letters compla.tntng or commenting
about coxes. and the principal reason for taxes going up is due to
the school expenses going up. :more people should turn out for school
board meetings at the school. They need your t..unsel and advise as
a do.

Mr. A. P. Carlson, 9530 27th Avenue North - stated he was finking in RE: PUBLIC MARIBC-
his fishhouse and as some snowmobiles approached with teenagers driv-SNt1MM BIL_ ORDI1@
ing, their vocabulary was full of four letter words. Re was embarr- ANCE
asssd Lo have his 12 year old son hear it. One ordered him not to
park his car where he intended to, because they were gotng to run
their snowmobiles through there. Others who had been drinking dar-
aged the fish house. He wanted to know if the ordinance} cowered
drinking. Mayor Hilde read that part of the ordinance to his.
3o one further appeared, and Mayor Hilde declared the public hearing
closed at 6:50 P.M.
Mayor Hilde complemented the group on the way the hearing was con-
ducted and stated representation of large groups is a sign of good
help'and advice. He sato that although this is an important mattes,
he wondered her it ranked aside of taxes and childrW,a education.
The Village of Plymouth spends money for police seroice, assessment
service, fire service, street maintenance, etc.. About 112 of the
tax dollar comes to Plymouth Village. 222 goes to the County, and
672 goes to the School District for education. Many people do not
realise that this is the way it works. A separate government runs
the school government, but w get letters compla.tntng or commenting
about coxes. and the principal reason for taxes going up is due to
the school expenses going up. :more people should turn out for school
board meetings at the school. They need your t..unsel and advise as
a do.
Mayor Hilda asked the Council for their feelings on the subject.

Regarding point 'number, two (operation on public sdhool grounds, park
property, playgrounels or recreat!aeal areas), Councilm#;n Johnson
said there was a cotnsideration the: the Park Commissio l gave use
We will have to act on this. Mayor Rilde said all pub is property
Is like Ft.rk property\and possibly something should beldone to regu-
late it such as posting, whether or not snoMmobiling int allowed,
Councilman Hints felt there should be something posted. Council-
man Rusphrey stated we cimnot state what can or cannot be done about
school grounds. Kayo; Hl:.de said the school board could be contacted
about this,
Regarding point number three,! Councilman HumpNrey sal the ordinance,
pertaining to ice covered public voters has tea be loolienad up, and
that Nr. Rudolph's statements covering numbers four through eleven
are the most critical. Rlachines should he myff led. 1':ousellman
Hints stated that noise An a residential area should ;6e considered
and if hours are changed, speed',should be changed toga slower speed;
so that the noise is not so great,
Regarding paragraph number twelve, Councilman Hints qcaid that under
the Highway Department law, the operator of a snowmol,ile must: have
a driver's license e7en to cross the, strest. Councilman Humphroy
said that on paraghlaph number thirteen providing that safety, tras-
passing and damage to private property are adequatea.y taken care of,
there should be no hour restrictions•, and Mayor 11111le agreed and

and feels also that spowmahtle rallys should tie defined, licensed
and spelled out. There should be some type of permit to take ex-
ception to the ordinance.
Mayor Hilde Asked Chief Hawkinson if adequate protection could be
offered to the Plymouth citizens without an ordinance regarding noise,
property damage and safety. Chief 11awkinson refq.rred to the last
paragraph in his report. At the present time we have to nave proper
cause for breach of peace. The Attorney stated ;here would have to
be an ordinance covering diaturbing of she peace. To disturb the
peace to a nuisance and this would put snowmobilers on notice and
Councilman Humphrey feels this would be getting to the fundamental
part of the matter. Mr. Rudolph did not agree.

Tembrook lateral back in the progrm so thlrt they can go ahead

Thy Engineer has found that it would be fesalble to run water
Into this area. Water improvements in the southvest would make
service available and feasible to Fernbroo*6 but this has not been
1 ordered. This vier islon will be madoa in : J a 6 weeks. The number
of acres involved is 125 acres. but their request now covers
approximately 60 acres. Councilman Hint: feels this request
premat;,-e inasmuch as the rezoning !request has not gone through
the Planning,Coemiission. Mayor Hilde told Mr. Teigen that the
Council to aware of their needs ani! that the sgwer decision will
be made in 4 to 6 weeks, but the water may possibly be delayed.
