Consider Resolution No. 10-106, Determining That Off-Road Vehicle Riding Facility Is Not 133 Allowed in R-1 Zone—City Planner Smyser noted that this council has discussed this item at previous 134 meetings. Briefly,the question posed to the council is to make a determination on a use not directly 135 noted in the city's zoning ordinance. The use in question is an off-road riding facility within an R-1 136 zone. The resolution before the council makes the determination that it is not an appropriate use. 137 138 Char Foster, Birch Street, owner of a property on which an off-road riding facility exists, requested that 139 the council postpone the matter until spring, or when they would be able to hear for themselves the 140 riding activity. 141 142 The council declined to postpone the matter; the question isn't about one facility but about this use in all 143 R-1 districts. The council has heard from a great number of people that the use has a negative impact. 144 The council hoped to reach a different solution but the impact on others is found to be too great. 145 146 Ms. Foster asked if her grandson would be able to continue to use the track. 147 148 City Planner Smyser responded that the language in the resolution before the council is written 149 specifically. It doesn't disallow occasional riding on a property but disallows riding on a track no 150 matter the age of the rider. 151 152 Council Member O'Donnell moved to approve Resolution No. 10-106 as presented.
