Mayor and Council Request for Action
May 16, 2022
SUBJECT: PLANNING—RECREATIONAL VEHICLE USE ON CITY STREETS
ORDINANCE
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Adopt Ordinance No. 2202- 05 amending the Albertville City Code, Title 7
Motor Vehicles and Traffic, Chapter 3: Snowmobiles, Recreational Vehicles and Motorized Golf
Carts; allowing class 2 all-terrain vehicles to travel on public streets within the City and
approving summary Ordinance for publication.
BACKGROUND: We have a resident that is requesting that side by side ATVs (class 2 all-
terrain vehicles)be allowed to travel on public streets within the City of Albertville, as motorized
golf carts were recently permitted to.
MN State Statute 169.045 addresses Special Vehicle Use of Roadways. This statute allows a City
to adopt an ordinance to allow vehicles such as ATVs, golf carts, and mini trucks to use public
streets. Without this type of ordinance, these vehicles are not allowed to travel on public streets
except for crossing a public street at an intersection. The City approved a code amendment
allowing golf carts on City streets in April, 2021.
KEY ISSUES: The draft Class 2 All-Terrain Vehicle code amendment mimics Albertville's
Snowmobile regulations in addressing the following key issues.
• The draft ordinance defines where the class 2 all-terrain vehicle may travel within the
surface of the roadway to avoid competition with other motor vehicles. Class 2 all-terrain
vehicles may only travel on local streets; they are prohibited on County and State
roadways except when crossing at an intersection.
• Class 2 all-terrain vehicles are prohibited from traveling on City sidewalks, trails, and
City parks.
• Class 2 all-terrain vehicle drivers must be a licensed driver and obey the traffic laws.
This prohibits underage drivers from using class 2 all-terrain vehicles on public streets.
• Hours of operation are limited to daylight hours unless the class 2 all-terrain vehicle is
equipped with head lights; taillight, brake lights and turn signals.
• The class 2 all-terrain vehicle must be insured.
• The draft ordinance outlines minimum equipment standards for class 2 all-terrain
vehicles traveling on public streets, including the need for a rearview mirror.
• St. Michael code allows class 2 ATVs on public streets with similar standards.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: City Staff has examined other cities with class
2 all-terrain vehicle regulations and presented these options to the City Council in May 2022.
Agenda Page 10
Mayor and Council Request for Action —May 16, 2022
Planning- Class 2 All-Terrain Vehicle Amendment Page 2 of 2
The Council is asked to review the draft ordinance and determine if the ordinance adequately
addresses the use of class 2 all-terrain vehicles on public streets in Albertville.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The draft ordinance does not require any administrative
processing of any license or permit to operate a class 2 all-terrain vehicle on public streets to
reduce time and costs associated with this use.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Any licensed driver may operate a class 2 all-terrain vehicle on
local streets if the machine meets the equipment standards and they abide by the regulations of
this ordinance amendment and the traffic safety laws. The City will rely on the Wright County
Sheriff patrol for enforcement traffic violations.

Dear Adam Nafstad,
In the City of Albertville they past that Golf Carts are allowed to be driven in the city limits of Albertville,
per 7-3-7: MOTORIZED GOLF CARTS% I am requesting that you consider allowing side by sides(Class 2
all-terrain vehicle)to be driven within the city of Albertville.The side by side I own has roll cage,
headlights, break lights, blinkers,windshield, horn and is registered with license plate in Minnesota to
be able to ride on State Trails. I know several other residents of Albertville that have similar safety items
on their side by sides. In Minnesota,ATV operators born after July 1, 1987 and OHM riders under the
age of 16 are required to complete an approved safety course before riding on public lands.To drive on
state trails under the age of 18 need to wear a helmet.With all of these safety measures in place from
the State of Minnesota,please consider adding Class 2 all-terrain vehicles the ability to be driven within
Albertville.Class 2 all-terrain vehicles are allowed in St. Michael,Otsego Hanover and in Monticello.
These vehicles allow people to enjoy all of the Minnesota seasons. Please contact me with your decision
or if you have any questions at 763-438-1862. 1 am also including a picture of my side by side.
