The original permit was granted based on the market's agreement with the <br />property owner as to timing and location, with the understanding that the permit was <br />designed to avoid conflicts with Saxon's operating peak times. <br />The farmer's market is seeking an amendment to the PUD permit to allow the market to <br />alternate locations on the property, and to change times from morning to afternoon on <br />occasion. The purpose of these changes is to continue to avoid those conflicts, and is <br />based on an extended season and changes in Saxon's operating times over that period. <br />The following table compares the current permit and the proposed changes: <br />The permit was granted with an allowance for up to 25% of the vendors selling craft or <br />art items — no change is proposed to these kinds of operational aspects of the market. <br />Current <br />Proposed <br />Season <br />Mid June — September 30 <br />June 1 — October 31 <br />Operating Hours <br />9:00 a.m. — 1:00 p.m. <br />4 hours, morning or afternoon <br />Location <br />North Parking Lot <br />North Lot or South Lot, per plan <br />The permit was granted with an allowance for up to 25% of the vendors selling craft or <br />art items — no change is proposed to these kinds of operational aspects of the market. <br />
