Miron stated that he does not mind the flea market as an interim use of the property with the <br /> conditions that staff sets forward. He stated that the City has heard many complaints about <br /> the condition of the property. He stated that all code requirements must be followed. <br /> CD Director stated that outdoor retail is not allowed in the zoning district. He stated that Mr. <br /> Sampair has asked to use it for a flea market on a temporary basis as long as all City <br /> requirements are met. The site needs to be cleaned up prior to the flea market opening. There <br /> will need to be a public hearing and work to be done with the Washington County Sheriffs <br /> Department and the Hugo Fire Department. It may not be feasible for the time line they are <br /> requesting. <br /> Arcand stated that is done in Florida and thinks it is a good idea, but needs to be done <br /> correctly. <br /> Klein asked how long it will take to clean up the site. Mr. Sampair stated it will be cleaned <br /> up by May 1, 2009. He went over the site plan for the flea market and the cleaning up of the <br /> property. <br /> Miron talked about an interim use permit in exchange for the property to be cleaned up and <br /> put in compliance with City requirements. <br /> Granger stated that they will be adding to the site with the flea market. The clean up of the <br /> property and the flea market are two separate issues. We need to follow a process. They <br /> should be required to clean up the site first and then come back and ask for approval of the <br /> flea market. <br /> Denaway asked for background on how the property got to be in a state that it needs to be <br /> cleaned up. Mr. Sampair gave background on the lease situation with Mr. Glassel. <br /> Miron asked if we can create an ordinance that will allow interim uses on property.
