Planning Board backs golf‑cart, low‑speed vehicle rules and permit framework
Summary
The Planning Board recommended a golf‑cart and low‑speed vehicle ordinance that would add a permit process, define where such vehicles may operate and require liability insurance; staff said typical permit fees range from $25–$100 but fee schedule is to be set by council.
Staff outlined a proposed ordinance to regulate golf carts and low‑speed vehicles, including permit requirements, permitted routes and insurance obligations.
"It basically just gives some rules for permitting process and then for where you can and can't have them," the Town Manager said, explaining the draft would clarify speed limits, permit process and insurance requirements. Board members pressed on driver's‑license and insurance rules and asked staff to place fees in the town's fee schedule; staff noted comparable towns set annual permits between $25 and $100.
A motion to recommend the amendment to town council was made and approved by voice vote; the transcript records the motion being moved by Chairman Todd Holmes and no explicit second recorded before the voice vote. The ordinance will proceed to town council for final consideration and fee‑schedule details.
