Cass County Supervisors to hold final hearing on ATV/UTV ordinance

News

February 6th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

A third and final Public Hearing prior to a vote to Adopt an ATV/UTV Ordinance in Cass County, will take place 8:35-a.m. Wednesday, in Atlantic. The hearing is part of the regular weekly meeting of the Cass County Board of Supervisors, that begins at 8:30-a.m. in the Board Room at the Courthouse. During the previous two meetings, persons filled the chamber seating area, voicing their thoughts both for and against the Ordinance, which, if approved, would allow ATV’s and UTV’s to be used on designated Cass County roads, but also sets certain restrictions on the age of the machine operator and calls for the use of some extra safety equipment.

Last week set, the Supervisors were in agreement with the idea that 16-to 18-year old’s may operate the machines with certification, and they added rear-view mirrors as safety equipment. Gone from the latest version of the Ordinance, is a section restricting the speed to 35-miles per hour, and the use of tall orange safety flags. ATV’s and UTV’s may be used from one-hour before sunrise to one-hour after sunset, according to the proposed ordinance. Following the hearing, the Board will vote to Adopt the ATV ordinance.

In other business, the Supervisors will act on approving a Crow River Construction application for partial payment Number 3, on the gray water transmission line to the ethanol plant currently under construction. They’ll also receive, as available, Cass County Department Head reports.
