artmlic g. -ASSOWITZS <br />Memo <br />TO: Honorable Mayor & City Council Members <br />FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer <br />DATE: May 19, 2011 <br />RE: Farmers Market <br />The Little Canada Parks and Recreation Department is proposing a farmer's market <br />within the Saxon Bowling Alley parking lot. The original proposal located the farmer's <br />market booths in the very northeast corner of the lot in close proximity to the northern <br />most parking lot entrance off of Market Place Drive. The Planning Commission <br />expressed possible concerns in regards to traffic access and flow and requested a <br />review of the layout. <br />The location of the farmer's market in the northeast corner of the lot would have required <br />the closing of the northern most driveway. We have reviewed the original layout with the <br />Park and Recreation director and the location of the farmer's market booths have been <br />modified. The market is now proposed farther to the west and along the north end of the <br />parking lot as shown on the attached exhibit. This layout will provide sufficient room to <br />allow both entrances to Market Place Drive to be utilized along with the access to Little <br />Canada Road. The north end of the market will be along the edge of the parking lot and <br />the south end will be delineated with the booth owner's vehicles. We would recommend <br />the use of barricades, gates, and caution tape to differentiate the east and west ends of <br />the market from the remainder of the lot. <br />If you have any questions concerning this information, please call me at (763) 780 -0450. <br />10062 Flanders Court NE — Blaine, MN 55449 — Ph: (763) 780-0450 Fax (763) 780-0452 <br />Memo-051911 -CC (Farmers Market) <br />8 <br />ANUE'ION <br />
