County checks golf course crossings before giving permits

A. Before granting any permit as described in Section 5.06.010 , the director shall make an investigation of the site or sites at which an owner of a golf course proposes to install a crossing or crossings, as the case may be, and he shall grant a permit for the establishment of the crossing or crossings and warning and safety devices only if he finds: 1. That no reasonable alternative to the establishment of the crossing or crossings over the county highway exists; and 2. That the installation and use of any proposed crossing or crossings, warning and safety devices will not constitute an unreasonable interference with the right of the public to use the highway for highway purposes; and 3. That the installation and use of any such crossing or crossings, warning and safety devices will not create any hazard to persons using the highway or the crossing or crossings. B. If the director determines that any proposed crossing or crossings, warning and safety devices proposed to be installed by the owner do not, as proposed, satisfy the requirements of subdivisions 2 and 3 of subsection A of this section, he may nevertheless, upon acceptance by the owner of modifications which satisfy subdivisions 2 and 3 of the owner's proposal as to the location or type of crossing or crossings or warning and safety devices recommended by the director, grant the permit described in Section 5.06.010 . C. The director shall require that crossings, warning and safety devices shall be placed so as to achieve the highest possible visibility and permit adequate response time considering the terrain, grade, flow of traffic and carts, and normal highway use.
