CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 3A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Lisa Hogstad-Osterhues, Deputy City Clerk MEETING DATE: September 23, 2019 TOPIC Consider Approval of Resolution No. 19-120, Elbe Street Alternative Exit Route for Waldoch Farm’s Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze Special Event Permit VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 INTRODUCTION Waldoch Farm’s has applied for and been granted a Special Event Permit for the 6th annual Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze. Waldoch Farm’s is requesting to use Elbe Street as an alternative exit route for this event which runs through October 31. BACKGROUND The City has received a request from Waldoch Farm’s to use Elbe Street as an alternative exit route during the 6th annual Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze. Community Development staff has reviewed the plan submitted by Waldoch Farm’s and is recommending the following conditions: • Any connection to Elbe Street shall require a 20’ wide driveway base from the edge of pavement (improved Elbe Street) to the property line. The base shall be surfaced with a minimum placement of three inches of class 5 gravel to provide adequate support for vehicles and minimize vehicle tracking onto paved surfaces. Said surface shall be maintained by applicant through the course of the event. Any vehicle tracking onto Elbe Street shall be cleaned daily. • In addition applicant shall provide and maintain a gate and the property line. Gate shall be adequately secured to prevent vehicles from entering or exiting the property when alternative route is not in use. The City Clerk’s office has notified residents on Elbe Street of the proposed exit route requested by Waldoch Farms. The Public Safety Department has reviewed the plans from Waldoch Farm’s and is recommending if approved, the exit route be closed by 5:00 p.m. on Halloween for the safety of neighborhood trick or treaters.
