• MEMORANDUM To: Members of the Planning Commission CC: Heather Worthington, City Administrator; Peter Lindstrom, Council Liaison From: Deb Jones, Staff Liaison Subject: Planning Commission Meeting on Apri127 Date: Apri123, 2004 As I told you in my email of April 8, there are two hearings scheduled for the Planning Commission this coming Tuesday and two related items for you to consider. A quorum is required. Please notify Staff if you are unable to attend. • The first item is the renewal of the Farmer's Market IUP. This should be pretty straightforward as we do not expect any concerns from the community. The only changes from last year are some adjustments in the parking space numbers, which are detailed in the staff report. What all the changes boil down to is a loss of 5 parking spaces in the lot used by most shoppers. Since the parking lot was never at capacity last summer, we do not think this will impact the operation of the market. In fact, entry and exit traffic flow should be improved by having one-way traffic in the lot. The second hearing is to consider a proposed amendment to Chapter 9 of the City Code regulating and restricting the location of vehicles for sale. For years residents have been communicating their concerns about this issue to the City, and until now we have not had any enforcement tools except for the genera148 hour parking restriction to discourage the use of our major streets, in particular the Snelling service drives, as de facto used car lots. The recommended ordinance is based on language in the Lakeville city code. Since there are two major items of business, there will be no code workshop this month, and the workshop notes from February are not enclosed. They will be distributed in advance of the next workshop. Finally, there is an information item on the bus bench issue. No action or on-camera discussion is necessary at this time; we just want to keep you informed.
