The Gallatin County Commission is planning to close a road near Maudlow each spring to resolve a conflict between recreationists and nearby landowners.
The commissioners voted Tuesday to pass an ordinance that would close Bremer Creek Road annually to motorized vehicles from March 1 to June 1.
A second and final vote will occur on Jan. 5.
If commissioners approve the ordinance in January, which they are expected to do, the first seasonal closure would begin next March.
Those who violate the ordinance could be fined $10 to $50 or jailed for five to 25 days. Subsequent offenses have more serious penalties.
Issues with Bremer Creek Road came to a head in February when nearby landowners requested the county eliminate public access to the road.
