[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Council of the Town of Franklin 9-24-1986
by Bylaw Amendment 86-75. Amendments noted where applicable.]
No person shall use or operate a motorized off-road vehicle, including
but not limited to minibikes, trail bikes, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) or
snowmobiles, or similar motorized vehicle which is eligible for registration
under Chapter 90B of the General Laws of the commonwealth or any vehicle as
described in § 20 of said chapter on any Town-owned property, except
public roads and streets, without prior written consent of the Town authority
having the responsibility for the management of such property. Any such consent
shall be temporary in nature, shall specify the period of time during which
it is in force and shall only be granted where the proposed use or operation
will not, in the judgment of the Town authority granting the same, be detrimental
to the purpose for which such property is owned. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary hereinabove contained, parking areas established for use in
connection with such park or such other public property may be used for parking
purposes without prior consent.
No person shall use or operate any such vehicle on or over any private
property within the limits of the Town of Franklin without the written consent
of the owner of such property.
[Amended 12-9-1987 by Bylaw Amendment 87-116]
All vehicles described in this chapter, unless registered with the commonwealth, shall be registered with the Franklin Police Department for a fee as established in Chapter 82, Fees, of the Code of the Town of Franklin. Should such operator be a minor, application for such registration shall be made by his/her parents or guardian.
