Hillz - N - Hollarz is KY's Premier
Off-Roading Destination!

Park is TEMPORARILY closed effective May 9, 2007

Dear Off- Road Enthusiasts,

It has been brought to my attention that the local Henry County Zoning Commission has received incorrect information regarding OUR PRIVATE OFFROAD CLUB and has thus required our club to close until the next zoning board hearing. It appears that some local individuals are under the impression that HillzNHollarz is a “commercial” business operating in an A-1 zone. HillzNHollarz is nothing more than a holding entity for the operation of our private club. The local zoning board indicated that since I have a website, then I am a commercial business who is using the internet to promote my “business”. The website was designed to answer questions about our club.

Our private club was formed solely for the enjoyment of off-road riding. WE ARE NOT A COMMERICAL BUSINESS! With all of the problems Henry County has had with trespassing and illegal riding, the property owner saw this as a viable way to reduce trespassing on other properties while offering a safe riding environment for those who enjoy this pastime.

The landowner placed our private club under a non-profit organization and named it HillznHollarz. This was done to let everyone know that this not a business but merely a private club for off road riding. The landowner wishes to allow anyone who enjoys off road riding a place to enjoy his or her pastime. The proceeds from your $20.00 donation go back into our private club to enhance the property with amenities: gravel access road, restrooms, electric hook-ups, etc, property management, and security.

It is unfortunate that at this time that the HENRY COUNTY PLANNING AND ZONING has requested a SEIZE of operation until the next zoning hearing. Ironically, there is no meeting this month and the next meeting is scheduled the 4th Monday of June, 2007. Please note this is only a SEIZE to operate HILLZNHOLLARZ- a non-profit organization and NOT a seize for the landowner to invite his closest friends to come and ride.

This information was received on May 9, 2007 via mail. I am working closely to have our club back open. The local Zoning Administrator, Greg Derossett indicated that individuals who have permission from the landowner are allowed to operate offroad vehicles as long as no admission is charged. I am going to meet With Mr. Derrossett this Friday to discuss.

My question to each of you is: If the private landowner agrees to allow access to his trails, would each of you be willing to help assist in covering the cost of maintaining the access road and other amenities? I would suggest $20.00 per vehicle and $5.00 per passenger over the age of 18 per each visit to the private landowner’s property.

If you feel compelled to write an e-mail as to why this club is important to you and/or your family please e-mail hillznhollarz@aol.com. These e-mails will be presented at the local zoning board.

I want to thank each and every one of you for your support.

- Joe, Property Manager

i dont want to sound like a punk here... which i am often accused of... but let me be the devil's advocate here for a second...

why shouldn't these people have to get a commercial license? they are charging people from the general public to come to their private park and ride. This is considered "sales" in my opinion. They say that it is a "donation" but i bet you are "required" to pay that donation to get in. That is not a true donation. It is a purchase. You are buying a day pass to get into their park. Whether they are charging this money for the upkeep of the park, or to buy themselves more property, it is still sales.

I could say all day long that my service and sales from Complete Offroad and Performance is completely non-profit and all the money goes back into the company and to benefit me and my friends in our club or whatever. The county and state wouldn't go for that.

I think this park should have to get a commercial license to operate in the fashion that they are. Call me an asshole for saying it, I don't care. The worst part, and probably the main reason they don't want to have to is due to the CRAZY insurance they are going to have to carry. I hope it all works out for them and they get it reopened, because I hope to get to check it out soon as i only live about 40 minutes from the place.

i agree with mike. this is tough subject. but we must pay to play ??? and remember they did close down roy and his brother at outback offroad. i would not mind paying a $10.00 (donation) to ride per truck each time to ride but 20.00 seams a bit inflated. i,m with mike on this, at 20.00 per truck !!!!step up or move over.. gabby
