Discussion and possible action regarding an Event Permit for a Lake Elizabeth Manor Golf Cart
Parade on September 22nd.
Dorsie Stanley, 1707 Willow Road, the organizer of the event, spoke and provided an explanation, clarifying that
she is only requesting approval for the parade and is not seeking to legalize golf carts. The board imposed several
restrictions: only golf carts are allowed (no lawn mowers), Esch Road cannot be used, a lead cart with rotating or
hazard lights is required, along with an end cart also equipped with lights, and communication via walkie-talkies
with the lead and end carts. Additionally, no driving is permitted on the baseball diamond, and only residents of the
subdivision will be allowed to participate in the parade.
