CLARKSBURG -- The Harrison County Commission held its first public hearing on a proposed ATV ban in Meadow Village near Good Hope.

Members of the Homeowners' Association say ATV's pose a danger to the children in their small community of 14 households.

On Thursday, the County Commission received three letters in support of the ban or regulation and none in opposition.

A second public hearing on the issue will be held April 30th at 9:30 a.m. in the commission chambers.

“During the past decade, I have personally had six out of seven elk hunts ruined by the careless intrusions of ATV operators. This epidemic has forced me to abandon one prime hunting area after another, only to encounter the same situation elsewhere. The shameful part of this picture is that the overwhelming majority of these ATV’ers are young and healthy, not decrepit or physically challenged. Maybe these riders would be more respectful of other people's outdoor experience if they knew we could ID them."
