is not a problem. However, the conditions of the permit could certainly be changed to address • the problem of idling vehicles before 6:30 a.m. Commissioner Lukermann moved to accept the Staff recommendation on the IUP (and thus recommend approval to the Council) with modifications in the IUP to address the vehicle issue. Harris seconded the motion. Commissioner Ryan said he was troubled by the idea of the permit running with the land but felt it was not necessary to require annual renewal. There needs to be a vehicle for responding to concerns. Commissioner Tracy said a compromise of atime-limited but multi- yeaxpermit should be considered. Commissioner Harris pointed out that no matter how long the permit runs, it will terminate if the conditions are violated. Commissioners reviewed the conditions listed in the proposed Interim Use Permit and continued discuss possible amendments that could solve the idling vehicle problem. Because Prior Avenue is the public right of way and not under control of the property owner, the conditions of the permit cannot be extended to vehicles idling on Prior. One suggestion that was received favorably by Commissioners was to add a bullet point to the list of permit conditions requiring early-arriving vendors to wait in the front (south) parking lot if they arrive before 6:30 a.m. The TCCU personnel said they would be happy to make that parking lot available. The parking lot is distant from most residences, and the noise from idling would be much less of an issue next to the Larpenteur traffic. The Co-op would also be happy to give an annual report to the Commission on the Farmer's Market season, probably at the • November meeting, as suggested by Commissioner Ryan. Commissioner Lukermann amended her motion to specify that the above condition would be added to the list in the IUP and that vehicle would be restricted to that parking lot before 6:30 a.m. The motion, as amended, passed unanimously. Commissioner Ryan commented that the last two bullet points in the list of conditions do allow the kind of flexibility needed to make future adjustments to the IUP to respond to developing neighborhood concerns without terminating the permit. INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS: There were no announcements. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at approximately 7:57 p.m. to a Commission workshop, the last in a series of discussions reviewing the City zoning code in expectation of updating and recodification in the coming year.
