Proposed ATV policy

One of the main issues discussed at the last Board meeting was the policy on ATV usage within HCR. The consensus of those attending the meeting was that primary concerns are with safety and noise issues. The Board has drafted a proposed clarification of the prohibition on ATV use which is in our CCR's. The proposed language has been posted on the website. The main points covered are: (1) An ATV is defined as "an unlicensed three or four wheeled all terrain vehicle, intended for off road use, which is ridden straddled and is steered by a handlebar." Per existing CCR's, no ATV may be ridden on HCR roads or common property under any circumstance. (2) Other vehicles, such as UTV's (e.g. Polaris Ranger, Yamaha Mule or similar)or golf carts, may be utilized, but are subject to restrictions as enumerated in the proposed policy.

The Board will consider comments on this proposed policy, either in writing or at our next general Board meeting on September 15th. The policy will then be finalized.
