in St. Paul, including one at St. Luke's Catholic Church on Summit Avenue, and at Aldrich Arena. He noted the following: • Market would be held from 8:00 to noon, on Tuesdays. • Set-up would begin at 6:30 a.m., and market would be closed and gone by 1:00 p.m. • There would be approximately 60 selling stalls, and 40 vendors. • They would take up 72 of the 423 parking spaces, leaving 351 spaces for customer parking. • Typical customer visit is 10 minutes. • Market draws approximately 3,500 people (not cars) during peak from July-September. • There is an emphasis on orderly, quiet set-up, and vendors are not allowed to play radios, or have loud vehicles. • There are no sales prior to 8:00 p.m. • Vendors are responsible for leaving the area clean when they leave • The Market is selective about vendors, and they must grow what they sell. (Mr. Gerten has done spot "inspections" of vendors, and if they are selling something they did not grow, they are asked to leave). • The market has been at Har-Mar for 15 years. • They are members of the Minnesota Horticultural Society. • They have master gardeners on site at the markets. • • Their vendors accept WIC coupons for the purchase of vegetables. • Har-Mar has changed its fee structure, and it is quite expensive for the Market to lease space in their parking lot. • The St. Paul Farmer's Market is anon-profit. • Mr. Gerten takes complaints/concerns very seriously, and keeps regular office hours in order to handle them. • If this site did not work out, they could stay at Har-Mar, but they have concerns about parking, access, and long-term affordability of the site. The meeting was then opened to questions. Several residents noted concerns about traffic on Prior Avenue. Residents of the townhomes at Maple Knoll were concerned about not being able to exit their homes during the market, and cited increased congestion during the State Fair as a comparable situation. Many of them noted that they used the market at Har-Mar, and had seen the congestion in that lot during the market. Mr. Gerten mentioned that the parking lot at Har-Mar is not conducive to the market use because of traffic patterns, and thought the TCU lot would be better suited to moving traffic in and out of the lot. A resident on Lindig stated that he shops at Har-Mar, and that before the TCU owned the building, Hewlett-Packard had rented the space to Ford for storage of Ranger pickpus. In addition, he stated that since Prior Avenue is a full-width street, there should be adequate access, • but the city might consider limiting turns on to Larpenteur to right-turn only during the market. He stated that the "clientele is like myself, not Fairgoers, and I fully support it".
