c. All lighting shall be hooded and so directcd that the light source shall not be visiblc from
the public right of\vay or from neighboring residences and shall be in compliance with
Section 1103.09 of the Code.
The applicant will not have any lighting associated with the produce stand as it will be
operating during daylight hours.

The applicant is proposing to use an existing parking lot which is surfaced with asphalt.
This criterion is met.
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the provisions from Section 1125.01(I)e of
the Zoning Code regarding possible adverse effects of the proposed use and makes the following
findings:
(I)
(2)
(3)
Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan.
The geographical area involved.
Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is
proposed.
The character of the surrounding area.
The demonstrated need for such use.
(4)
(5)
The proposal is for a temporary produce stand in the parking lot of an existing shopping
center. The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as HC--Highway Commercial. The
produce stand is an appropriate use within this designation. The shopping center is
surrounded by roadways and the area where the use is to be located is 1,000 feet from the
nearest residential property. The sale of produce is a typical seasonal business in a
community such as Mounds View and it serves a community need. The short duration of
the use will result in little, if any, adverse effect upon the surrounding area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council approves
a conditional use permit for Merryville Farm Market to operate an outdoor produce stand at the
Moundsview Square Shopping Center, 2535-2585 Highway 10, with the following stipulations:
L The facility shall be allowed to operate from July 1, 1997, to September 21,1997.
2. The hours of operation of the facility shall not exceed 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
3. Signage shall be allowed only as aftixed to the gazebo base and/or canvas roof
4. Lighting for the use shall be supplied by existing parking lot standards.
