UNAPPROVED Mayor Coughlin opened the Public Hearing at 7:37 p.m. Planning Associate Ericson stated that this ordinance revises the City Code to allow for the annual renewal of contractors licenses, as opposed to renewal in the middle of the building season. He noted a revision to the ordinance, which was not reflected in the Council's packet. He stated that the ordinance would delete references to "Fire Protection" from the license requirement, as indicated in a footnote, as this is already required by the State. He stated that the text attached to the footnote would also be deleted, causing the other footnotes in the ordinance to be re -numbered. He stated that this change will be incorporated into the ordinance and, other than this, it has not changed from the first reading. Mayor Coughlin closed the Public Hearing at 7:40 p.m. Council Member Marty stated that he found no problem in relation to the ordinance, adding that it had been discussed on numerous occasions. Mayor Coughlin agreed, adding that, as a contractor himself, he found that the revision made much more sense than the previous requirement, and stated his approval for the recommendation.

B. Public Hearing 7:10: for Consideration of a Resolution Approving the Request of Merryville Farm Market to Operate an Outdoor Produce Stand at Moundsview Square. Mayor Coughlin opened the Public Hearing at 7:41 p.m. Planning Associate Ericson gave a brief overview of the ordinance, stating that the applicant would like to operate an outdoor produce stand in the parking lot of Moundsview Square Shopping Center from July 1 through September 30, 1999. He stated that there were no problems associated with the operation in the previous year. He stated that, as with Linder's Greenhouses, the Conditional Use Permit would remain in effect indefinitely, so long as the criteria were met. He added that if the operation were to require a review by Council or staff, the approval could be handled administratively. He stated that there was the possibility of a potential overlap with the operation of Linder's Greenhouses, by as much as 15 days. He stated that this would create no impact, and there was no shortage of parking in the event of an overlap. Ericson stated that staff had drafted the resolution, which provides for the non -expiring Conditional Use Permit, and they and the Planning Commission recommend that Council approve the Conditional Use Permit, with stipulations. Mayor Coughlin closed the Public Hearing at 7:43 p.m. Council Member Marty asked if the possibility of an overlap had been discussed with Linder's Greenhouses and Merryville Farm Market. Ericson stated that discussion may have taken place in the 6 CAADMIN\MINUTES\CC\6-28-99.CC
