Mounds View City Council April 27, 2009 Regular Meeting Page 3 1 Council Member Hull stated his concern that both the primary and secondary entrance points be 2 open. Community Development Director Roberts stated both entrances may be open but the 3 primary entrance will be off County Road H2, which is more of a commercial street. 4 5 Council Member Hull noted traffic could backup onto County Road 10 so he believed the second 6 entrance should be used. Mr. Halverson explained that the vendors will be on one side with 7 parking on the other so the County Road H2 entrance will provide more control and not conflict 8 with the vendors. 9 10 Mayor Flaherty stated people in Mounds View have indicated they like the “small town” flavor 11 and that fits well with a farmer’s market. He thanked Mr. Halverson for providing the business 12 plan and noted the auction dates are only on the 1st and 15th of the month and will be conducted 13 without a microphone. In addition, Mr. Halverson now has an agreement with the Taiko Sushi Bar 14 for overflow parking. Mayor Flaherty suggested Mr. Halverson provide a copy of that agreement 15 in writing. He stated if approved, the City will expect Mr. Halverson to respond immediately to 16 issues that may arise. He clarified that the letter from Mr. Moritko of Moe’s Restaurant is not an 17 objection but asking Mr. Halverson to be vigilant with regard to traffic flow and parking. 18 19 Council Member Mueller asked if Mr. Halverson has insurance on his parking lot should an 20 accident or injury occur. Mr. Halverson stated his insurance also covers the parking lot. 21 22 Council Member Mueller asked if the vendors would be permitted separately by the City. Mr. 23 Halverson described what will occur inside Robert’s with food sales and availability of the 24 restrooms. He explained that Health Department inspections and submission of sales tax will be 25 regulated by the State of Minnesota. Mr. Halverson stated they plan to have two auctions a month; 26 however, they may not fall on the 1st and 15th of the month. 27 28 Council Member Mueller asked if the Fire Department has reviewed the parking plan. Community 29 Development Director Roberts stated the Fire Department has not. Mr. Halverson stated the 30 parking design has not changed so emergency access remains the same. 31 32 Mayor Flaherty recommended the second access be open since it may be needed for emergency 33 access. He noted there will be no sale of alcohol or tobacco products. Mr. Robert’s stated 34 beverages sold outside will be in a can or container so they can be identified. 35 36 MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 7444 37 Approving a Conditional Use Permit to Allow an Outside Sales Operation at 2400 County Road 38 H2; Planning Case No. CU2009-001. 39 40 Council Member Stigney reviewed Condition 3 indicating the outdoor sales will occur only on 41 Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, a maximum of two outdoor auctions each month. However, 42 Mr. Halverson has indicated they will not necessarily be held on the 1st and 15th of the month. 43 Council Member Stigney asked when the events will be held and if they will be an auction or flea 44 market. Community Development Director Roberts stated the event could be either an auction or 45
