Mounds View Planning Commission January 21, 2004 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Commissioner Hegland indicated that revocation of the permit is the biggest deterrent for <br />breaking the Code. <br /> <br />Director Ericson commented that the only penalty may be through court action and whatever <br />fines are dictated by the judge. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn said he is concerned for competition in the future because if one does not <br />follow the rules the other will think they do not have to either and he would like the City to have <br />a way to enforce the issue through fines or something and not just rely on the fire code. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson indicated that going beyond the 180 days would be handled immediately <br />by the fire marshal. He then said that the Mermaid tent was not occupied until the first part of <br />June and is being taken down now. He further commented that leeway was given because this <br />was the first of this type of structure and the fire marshal and building official did not know what <br />regulations needed to be met which delayed the occupancy permit. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hegland indicated he would like to review it every year. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn agreed. <br /> <br />There was consent to draft the amendment to provide for a five year permit reviewed annually by <br />Staff. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />6. Special Planning Case SP-113-02 <br /> <br />Planner Prososki indicated that there is a conflict within the Code that requires temporary <br />outdoor vendors to obtain a conditional use permit. She then said that Staff reviewed prior <br />Minutes and has made recommendations to clarify the matter in the Code. <br /> <br />The Commission agreed to allow three temporary sales events per year with 30 days between <br />sales. The Commission also agreed to require CUP’s for anything over 10 days. <br /> <br />Planner Prososki indicated that prior discussions were to require that the sale be on a grassed <br />area to control dust and that the sale not use parking spaces. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn asked whether lighting is addressed. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that Staff would include language to govern lighting. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />7.
