The application was submitted by the Royal Development, Inc., the developer of Royal Golf Club at Lake Elmo, a golf course community. As a golf course community, they would like their residents to be able to use their personal carts to access different areas of the development without having to drive larger automobiles. REVIEW AND ANALYSIS: Lake Elmo: Currently the city does not allow the operation of golf carts on public streets. The state of Minnesota allows Cities to make the determination of their allowance through the adoption of an ordinance. However, if the city chooses to allow golf carts there are minimum requirements that must be enforced/enacted. The requirements will be addressed further on in the report. If the city chooses to adopt the ordinance there will be a new section added to the code as well as an amendment to the definition of all-terrain vehicles. Also the fee schedule will need to be amended to include a fee for golf cart permits. State Requirements: The state requires at a minimum the items listed out below - May only be operated on designated roadways – included as an attachment are the proposed designated roadways - May only be operated from sunrise to sunset, unless equipped with original headlights, taillights, and rear-facing brake lights. – code only proposes sunrise to sunset - Shall not be operated in inclement weather – further described in proposed ordinance - The display of slow-moving vehicles emblem - Insurance - Application requirements – permits are only valid for 3 years - They must be allowed to cross non-designated roadways but they do not need to be allowed to travel on or down them. Other Communities: There are other communities that allow golf carts to be driven on public streets including City of Anoka, City of Trimont, Dodge Center, City of Ramsey, and Redwing. They all at a minimum have the state requirements with some variability between them. 2 Anoka: - Golf carts may be operated on all local city streets within the limits of the city that have a speed limit of 30 mph or less, with the exception of East Main St. - Golf carts are allowed on designated trail (those leading to a golf course) - Carts must be parked in designated public parking stalls or areas used by automobiles only. - A permit may be revoked at any time for violating any provision of this Article, after investigation by the Police Department and final determination by the Police Chief or his or her appointee. - Approval must come from the police department. - $25 fee and permits are good for one year City of Trimont: - The Chief of Police may revoke a permit at any time upon finding that the holder has violated any of the provisions of this ordinance or Minnesota Statutes Chapter 169 or if there is any evidence that the permit holder cannot safely operate the motorized golf cart. - The City clerk may authorize the permits - $15 fee and the permits are good for 3 years City of Dodge Center: - A motorized golf cart shall be operated as close to the right curb or right side of the roadway as practicable, except when making left turns. - They also offer an appeal process for revoked permits. - The City administrator makes the determination weather or not to revoke a permit. - Permits are submitted to the City Administrator - $10 fee and all permits expire on December 31st of each year Ramsey: - Permits are obtained from the police department - $10 fee and permits are good for 3 years Red Wing: - Only operated between May 1 and October 31st of each year - Permits are available at the police department - $30 fee and permits are good for 1 year Communities regulate permitted and unpermitted roads differently. Staff has not noticed any trends other than Cities regulate based on what makes the most sense for them and their needs. Some say carts may only be used when on the way to or from a golf course, where other cities do not make that a requirement. After discussing the topic between several departments City staff has concluded that carts shall only be permitted to travel on roads which are contained within the Golf Course Community (GCC) zoning district. 3 FISCAL IMPACT: Staff does not foresee a fiscal impact. There should be a fee associated with the issuance of a permit. $30 permit fee established to last for 3 years. COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommendation: The planning department has discussed the language with other departments and in doing so has arrived at the following conclusion. Given that the character of the roads which would be designated for use, staff does not immediately see an issue with allowing the use of golf carts within the GCC zoning district. Staff is recommending approval. The Public Safety Committee also recommended approval. However, there were a few comments that came from their meeting on the topic, they are as follows. Their comments are in bold, and City Attorney responses have been summarized, italicized. • Open Bottle o The “open bottle law” is in Minnesota Statutes Section 169A.35. It prohibits the possession of open bottles of alcoholic beverages in “motor vehicles” that are upon streets or highways. A golf cart is considered a “motor vehicle” for these purposes. It also appears that all of the driving while intoxicated statutes in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 169A apply to golf carts that are being operated on streets or highways, so a reference was added to the ordinance since these statutes would apply. Open bottle does not apply when on private property. • Age Limit Essentially Minnesota law would not allow the city to govern who may and may not drive a golf cart based on age or if they have a driver’s license or not. • Section 70.03 D – o In short, if an applicant who has had his or her driver’s license revoked but has a note from his or her doctor saying that he or she can safely operate the golf cart would not be entitled to a permit because the applicant has not satisfied both requirements of this section of the ordinance. • Rental Carts o A new permit would be required each time a golf cart was rented, so most people would likely not go through this trouble. Staff had informed the committee that the amendments would need to be approved by the City Attorney. The Committee was aware the amendments were dependent upon Attorney Approval. Their recommendation was made knowing that the comments may or may not have an impact on the proposed ordinance. Both Staff and the Public Safety Committee recommend approval of the ordinance. The committee recommended approval of the Ordinance with amendments 5-0.
