Mermaid IUP Report <br />April 7, 2010 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The Mermaid’s overall parking demands are satisfied with the available parking and thus <br />the City does not need to require any additional parking this time. <br /> <br />4. The structure may not be located in or on a parking lot displacing parking stalls, unless it <br />can be shown that an adequate amount of parking remains. <br /> <br />The tent is and has been located in a courtyard area that is separate from the parking lot. <br />The Mermaid’s tent structure is anchored to a concrete pad so the placement is exactly <br />the same every year and does not violate any setbacks. <br /> <br />5. The tent or membrane structure shall be subject to same building setbacks as the <br />principal building on the lot. No tent or membrane structure shall be allowed instead of or <br />without a principal building. <br /> <br />The tent does not encroach into any required setback area. <br /> <br />6. The tent or membrane structure shall be limited in size to 5,000 square feet or 10 percent <br />of the principal buildings’ square footage, whichever is less. <br /> <br />The tent is 4,200 square feet and is much less than ten percent of the Mermaid floor area. <br /> <br />7. The membrane or cover shall be constructed of a durable reinforced material to withstand <br />wind and snowloads. <br /> <br />There have been no problems with the tent’s reinforced membrane cover to date. The <br />membrane is removed during winter months. <br /> <br />8. The structure shall be anchored to the ground. <br /> <br />The tent structure is anchored to the ground as required. <br /> <br />9. The tent or membrane structure shall be maintained in a good condition. Deficiencies <br />shall be corrected as soon as practicable. <br /> <br />This condition is included in the resolution recommending approval. <br /> <br />10. The IUP can be reviewed at any time by the City if problems arise which would <br />necessitate revision or termination of the IUP. <br /> <br />This condition is included in the resolution. <br /> <br />11. The IUP would become null and void if the property owner fails to comply with the <br />provisions of the permit or if the structure is removed for more than a one-year period, or <br />if the property undergoes a change of ownership. <br /> <br />Again, staff has included this condition in the resolution. <br />
