Planning Commission Report <br /> Planning Case No. 483-97--Merryville Farm Market CUP <br /> • May 21, 1997 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Attachments: Planning Application <br /> Zoning Map <br /> Site Plan <br /> Letter from Applicant <br /> Letter from Paster Enterprises <br /> Photo Documentation <br /> Background: <br /> Kirk Olson, representing Merryville Farm Market, is requesting a conditional use permit to <br /> operate an outdoor produce stand in the parking lot of Moundsview Square Shopping Center <br /> from July 1, 1997 to September 21, 1997. The produce stand would be open seven days a week <br /> from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. and would be selling produce home-grown from its farm in Waverly. <br /> The stand is a five-sided gazebo-like structure with a canvas roof, and is 14 feet wide at its <br /> widest point and 9 feet high at the peak. The stand requires no utility hook-ups. The produce <br /> stand was granted a CUP last year for this same location. Staff is not aware of any problems <br /> associated with this operation. <br /> 1111 Analysis: <br /> Mr. Olson has stated that this will be the same operation that was approved last year for this <br /> location. No changes have been proposed. The dates of operation for the farm market, if approved <br /> as requested, would overlap by 15 days with Linder's Greenhouses, which was granted an outdoor <br /> sales CUP until July 15, 1997. Linder's will be dismantling its greenhouse sometime in between <br /> June 30 and July 15, so the overlap of operations could be less than the possible 15 days. In <br /> the occurrence of an overlap of uses, there should be little impact to parking, as the produce stand <br /> would occupy only 110 square feet of the parking lot. Signage for the produce stand will be <br /> accomplished with small banners affixed to the gazebo base(as shown on the attached photo) and <br /> lettering on the canvas roof(not shown on the photo.) <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Approve Planning Commission Resolution No. 508-97 recommending to the City Council <br /> approval of a conditional use permit for Merryville Farm Market to operate an outdoor produce <br /> stand at Moundsview Square Shopping Center. <br /> N:\data\users\pams\share\devcases\483-97\merry-pc.rptd <br />
