Mounds View Planning Commission April 15, 2009 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked what the space allocation is if there is a farmers market. <br /> <br />Mr. Halverson stated he met with Community Development Director Roberts and discussed the <br />last Planning Commission meeting. He stated they reconfigured the parking and is now <br />proposing 80 spaces for the outside sales. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked how many spaces will be available for the farmers market. <br /> <br />Mr. Halverson stated that there would be 40 for the flea market and 40 for a farmers market. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller stated the farmers market at the Mermaid and the church do not have many <br />vendors. <br /> <br />Mr. Halverson stated he is planning for more space than what will be needed. He indicated he <br />brought representatives from the Blaine Jaycees and JD’s Auctions to assist in answering any <br />questions. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked if the vendors selling on Thursday would take their goods back and bring <br />them back on Saturday. <br /> <br />Mr. Halverson stated all vendors would take their goods at the end of every sale day. <br /> <br />Commissioner Walsh-Kaczmarek stated in the resolution there was no language specifying <br />Mounds View residents would have preference for availability. <br /> <br />Mr. Halverson stated if the situation arose where a Mounds View resident wanted a spot and all <br />spots were full, he would ask another vendor to move to make room for the Mounds View <br />resident. <br /> <br />Director Roberts stated it is not stated in the resolution and it was an oversight on his part. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson stated he is not comfortable with the parking ratio of one to one. <br /> <br />Mr. Halverson stated Linder’s is setting up in a mall parking lot and taking away from the total <br />amount of shared parking. He stated he is trying to make his business successful during the off <br />hours. He stated he is also trying to make Robert’s different from the hard rock and roll band <br />business it used to be. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lang stated he is disappointed because it sounds like Mr. Halverson has this all <br />planned but has not put anything in writing. <br /> <br />Mr. Halverson stated he met with City Administrator Erickson and Community Development <br />Director Roberts to discuss the plan and operation of the outside sales operation. <br />
