Mounds View Planning Commission April 15, 2009 <br />Regular Meeting Page 9 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Mr. Splettstoeszer stated the customers coming to the flea market are coming and going <br />constantly. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson stated the exception of customer’s coming and going is the auction. He stated <br />customers could be there up to two hours. His concern was the parking is not adequate for a <br />farmers market, flea market and auction going on at the same time. He asked if the Planning <br />Commission was comfortable with limited amount of customer parking that is being proposed. <br /> <br />Mr. Halverson stated the Planning Commission has the ability to review the variance. If there is <br />a problem, it can be addressed. He also indicated he planned to chart the parking to have <br />available a history of use. <br /> <br />Commissioner Walsh-Kaczmarek stated the Planning Commission does not have an idea of what <br />would be adequate parking. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked about auctions on Saturdays only. <br /> <br />Mr. Halverson stated there would be auctions on the weekends. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked if Robert’s would make money on the auction. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller asked what time Robert’s opens during the day. <br /> <br />Mr. Halverson stated Robert’s opens 11:00 am. <br /> <br />Commissioner Meehlhause clarified Robert’s revenue is only coming from the renting of vendor <br />spaces and possibly people buying lunches. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked if he would be making money on the auction. <br /> <br />Mr. Halverson stated he would not be making money on the auction. It is just to bring people in <br />to Robert’s and into Mounds View. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson stated that during the auctions he did not think there could be a flea market and <br />flea markets may have to taper off. <br />Commissioner Walsh-Kaczmarek stated because this is new it can be used as a test case. <br /> <br />Mr. Halverson stated until the operation is up and functional it is hard to make any limitations. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson questioned what the total square footage would be. <br /> <br />Director Roberts stated it would be roughly a 12,000 square foot variance. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller questioned how this fits in with the current code limitations. <br />
