CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 4A STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Swenson, Public Safety Director MEETING DATE: May 8, 2023 TOPIC: Approval of Resolution # 23-40 Approving the use of All-Terrain Vehicles on Blanchard Blvd VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 INTRODUCTION Staff received a request from Lyngblomsten management to seek Council approval for the use of motorized golf carts and maintenance carts within, and throughout, the Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes Addition, located in the 6000 block of Blanchard Blvd. BACKGROUND Lyngblomsten staff would like to use golf carts to transport prospective residents throughout the campus as an efficient means of transportation when showing the campus property, and homes. Additionally, Lyngblomsten would like to use motorized maintenance carts to conduct utility and maintenance work throughout their properties. Currently, golf carts and motorized maintenance carts meet the definition of an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) of Lino Lakes Ordinance 807.01. ATV’s are prohibited from operation on any city street, per ordinance 807.07 (2) (a). However, 807.07 (2) (e), allows Council to approve, by resolution, the operation of ATV’s in specific areas owned by the City of Lino Lakes. In this case, Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes owns all land and residential properties within their Lino Lakes addition, including the roadways of Hammerly Ct., Dennis Ln., and Lyngblomsten Dr. As such, operation of motorized golf and maintenance carts are allowed on the land and roadways owned by Lyngblomsten, at their discretion. However, Blanchard Blvd., a roadway owned by the City of Lino Lakes, cannot be operated on, or across, by an ATV, at this time. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approving Resolution 23-40 allowing Lyngblomsten staff to operate golf carts and motorized maintenance carts with the Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes addition.
