IU2011-001— Interim Use Permit for a Temporary Tent at the Mermaid Applicant: Mike Anderson, Mermaid Acquisition Group, Inc. Address: 2200 County Highway 10 Planning Associate Heller stated the process for reviewing and approving an interim use permit (IUP) for temporary outdoor membrane structure is the same as the process for considering a conditional use permit. In 2004, 2005 and again in 2010 the City Council approved an Interim Use Permit for the Mermaid to have a temporary tent. As of 2011,, the Mermaid has new owners, and the resolution of approval for the IUP states that the approval is void if the ownership changes. An annual fire permit is required for this temporary structure. As a part of this permit process, the fire marshal will review the application and tent material information, and conduct an inspection post erection. She added the tent may be erected for up to 180 days per the state building code. Chair Stevenson stated originally the 1UP permits were renewed annually and after the first year of renewal it was amended to renew every five years. Dan Hall, previous owner of the Mermaid, stated the City Council initiated the five-year renewal after they saw that there were no problems with the tent. Mike Anderson of Anderson Properties, new owner of the Mermaid, introduced himself and indicated he would like to continue to use the tent for events and banquets. Commission Schiltgen asked about the inspections of the tent. Planning Associate Heller stated that the property owner must apply for a fire permit every year before installing the tent, and then the Fire Marshal/Building Official would inspect the tent after it was erected and before it could be used for any events. Commissioner Miller arrived at the meeting at 7:15pm. Commissioner Schiltgen suggested approving the resolution for a shorter term than the five years. Chair Stevenson asked about the five-year period and the fallback for the City if there were issues. Mounds View Planning Commission March 16, 2011 Regular Meeting Page 3 Planning Associate Heller stated there is language in the resolution allowing the City to review the interim use permit at any time if problems arise that could necessitate revision or termination of the interim use permit.
