MINUTES CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 9, 2009 Keis asked if the 20 seasonal outdoor sales events would likely occur during the summer months. Kloiber reported that that is correct. Rod Johansen pointed out that the Dock 86 concept is a new one and Hom is trying to gain as much flexibility as it can. Johansen noted that at this point they are not totally sure of what to expect. Blesener asked if the outdoor display area would be fenced. Johansen stated that it would not. He indicated that the items that would be left out overnight would be large and difficult to walk away with. Patio sets may be limited to within tents. Keis noted that the difficulty is not (mowing exactly what to expect and how the seasonal outdoor sales areas will look. Johansen replied that he camiot describe these areas much more than he already has. He noted that Hom is a very professionally run business and asked The Council to have the confidence in them that the Dock 86 business would be the same. Blesener asked if the tents and outdoor display areas would be patrolled at night. Joha~lsen indicated that the tents would be controlled. The statues and large bronzes would be large and heavy, but may be moved in and out each evening. McGraw asked the location of the tents. Kloiber described the two locations in fiont of the east side of the building. It was noted that the locations will be such as to not interfere with traffic patterns in the parking lot.

McGraw asked if there would be the need for overflow parking. Johansen felt that was unlikely. Blesener pointed out the recent clearance sales that ended up with overflow parking in the loti of the business across the street. Kloiber noted that this was a different event, and. is not expected to occur with the Dock 86 concept. Johanson indicated that Hom has parking studies for its locations, and based on these studies, the parking at this location will be more than adequate.
