As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE (ATV)
Any unlicensed motorized two- , three- , or four-wheeled
or track, and including dirt bikes (licensed or otherwise), vehicles
not licensed for public highway use.
No person shall, except as provided herein,
operate any of the above, as hereinbefore defined, within the Township
of Chadds Ford unless the user thereof has first given his name and
address to the owner or the lessee in possession of the premises where
he intends to operate and has obtained the written consent of such
owner or lessee, as the case may be, on the form provided by the Supervisors
of the Township of Chadds Ford. Prior to operating an ATV on such
property, duplicate signed copies of said consent shall be filed with
the Township Secretary either in person or by mail. No registration
with the Township or filing fee shall be required. The consent of
the owner or lessee shall continue in effect until the end of the
current year in which the consent is obtained, as will be specified
on said written consent, unless prior thereto the owner or lessee
in possession of the land shall revoke such consent in writing. In
granting such consent, the owner or lessee may stipulate the type
of ATV for which consent is granted.
