POLICY Hl 3/9/05 ITEM: Consideration of an amended interim use permit for a farmer's market at 2025 West Larpenteur Avenue SUBMITTED BY: Heather Worthington REVIEWED BY: The Planning Commission Deb Jones, Planning and Zoning Coordinator Roger Knutson, City Attorney EXPLANATION: Summary: At their regular February 22°d meeting, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to reconsider the Interim Use Permit for the Farmer's Market located at Twin City Co-ops Federal Credit Union (TCCFCU). Two residents testified that they had concerns regarding trash blowing into their yards, and trucks parked near the Farmer's Market site around 6:00-6:30 a.m. with engines idling parked on the cul-de-sac on Prior Avenue. They were also very effusive in their praise for the Farmer's Market, and emphasized that they very much enjoyed having it in the community. The Planning Commission had an in-depth conversation regarding their concerns, and Cindy Hartley, of TCCFCU said that they will allow access to its south parking lot for vendors arriving before the 6:30 set-up time. Vendors who arrive before 6:30 a.m. must park in the south parking lot (Larpenteur side). In addition, they will monitor the trash issue closely to ensure that this problem is addressed. The city will enforce its parking restrictions on Prior Avenue as well. Further, the Planning Commission voted to add the following provision: The Property Owner will allow access to its south parking lot for vendors arriving before the 6:30 set-up time. Vendors who arrive before 6:30 a.m. must park in the south parking lot (Larpenteur side). This provision addressed the two resident's concerns, and they were amenable to the IUP going forward as amended.
