Mounds View City Council Apri127, 2009 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />• Council Member Hull stated his concern that both the primary and secondary entrance points be <br />open. Community Development Director Roberts stated both entrances may be open but the <br />primary entrance will be off County Road H2, which is more of a commercial street. <br />Council Member Hull noted traffic could backup onto County Road 10 so he believed the second <br />entrance should be used. Mr. Halverson explained that the vendors will be on one side with <br />parking on the other so the County Road H2 entrance will provide more control and not conflict <br />with the vendors. <br />Mayor Flaherty stated people in Mounds View have indicated they like the "small town" flavor <br />and that fits well with a farmer's market. He thanked Mr. Halverson for providing the business <br />plan and noted the auction dates are only on the 1St and 15th of the month and will be conducted <br />without a microphone. In addition, Mr. Halverson now has an agreement with the Taiko Sushi Bar <br />for overflow parking. Mayor Flaherty suggested Mr. Halverson provide a copy of that agreement <br />in writing. He stated if approved, the City will expect Mr. Halverson to respond immediately to <br />issues that may arise. He clarified that the letter from Mr. Moritko of Moe's Restaurant is not an <br />objection but asking Mr. Halverson to be vigilant with regard to traffic flow and parking. <br />Council Member Mueller asked if Mr. Halverson has insurance on his parking lot should an <br />accident or injury occur. Mr. Halverson stated his insurance also covers the parking lot. <br />i Council Member Mueller asked if the vendors would be permitted separately by the City. Mr. <br />Halverson described what will occur inside Robert's with food sales and availability of the <br />restrooms. He explained that Health Department inspections and submission of sales tax will be <br />regulated by the State of Minnesota. Mr. Halverson stated they plan to have two auctions a month; <br />however, they may not fall on the 1St and 15th of the month. <br />Council Member Mueller asked if the Fire Department has reviewed the parking plan. Community <br />Development Director Roberts stated the Fire Department has not. Mr. Halverson stated the <br />parking design has not changed so emergency access remains the same. <br />Mayor Flaherty recommended the second access be open since it may be needed for emergency <br />access. He noted there will be no sale of alcohol or tobacco products. Mr. Robert's stated <br />beverages sold outside will be in a can or container so they can be identified. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 7444 <br />Approving a Conditional Use Permit to Allow an Outside Sales Operation at 2400 County Road <br />H2; Planning Case No. CU2009-001. <br />Council Member Stigney reviewed Condition 3 indicating the outdoor sales will occur only on <br />Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, a maximum of two outdoor auctions each month. However, <br />Mr. Halverson has indicated they will not necessarily be held on the 1St and 15th of the month. <br />• Council Member Stigney asked when the events will be held and if they will be an auction or flea <br />market. Community Development Director Roberts stated the event could be either an auction or <br />
