Council weighs measures to reduce weekend conflicts between golf-course patrons and neighbors
Summary
Byron Lewis told the council he met with residents about weekend problems at the Snowflake Municipal Golf Course and outlined measures — signage, fences to property lines, out-of-bounds markers, no-trespass signs and reporting cart numbers — that the town may pursue; council heard residents should take precautions as well.
Councilmember Byron Lewis reported he met with residents near the Snowflake Municipal Golf Course and relayed proposed steps to ease recurring weekend conflicts between patrons and neighbors.
Lewis summarized several possible measures: placing a billboard with the course rules, allowing adjacent residents to build fences to their property lines, installing out-of-bounds markers and barriers, encouraging owners to post "no trespassing" signs, and asking residents to call the clubhouse with cart numbers for those who violate etiquette. "The problems are primarily on the weekends," Lewis said.
Joseph Bjornn told the council that property owners should "know the risks and should take their own measures to protect their property." No formal town action or ordinance was adopted in the session; the ideas were discussed as potential steps the town could support or encourage.
The discussion emphasized property-owner measures and voluntary enforcement tools rather than immediate regulatory changes.
