Farmers Market Request Page 2 e SIGNAGE The market is requesting two 4 X 8 signs along Highway 169 to advertise the market. Staff would recommend that this signage be limited to one sign and that the sign be displayed only on those days the market is in operation. This sign can be placed along either Highway 169 or Freeport Avenue at the choice of the farmers market. TEMPORARY GREENHOUSE It should be pointed out that the farmers market will not be the only activity within the malls parking lot. Plant Place, Inc.lNelson Nursery, Zimmerman, received approval from the City Council to operate a temporary greenhouse within this same parking lot. The attached site plan illustrates the exact location of the proposed greenhouses which will be erected in late April or early May, and be in place through July 1st. PARKING e Certainly one of the issues with the request to utilize a parking lot for outdoor sales is to make sure necessary parking stalls are not occupied. The parking stalls proposed to be used are in a location that are not part of a major drive isle or an area that would disrupt traffic. In addition, although some of the parking stalls are in close proximity to the mall's shopping area, the actual proximity to an entrance is less convenient. Therefore, the selected location should function adequately without disrupting the traffic circulation within the parking lot, nor utilizing primary parking stalls for the mall. PERMIT FOR VENDOR SALES Elk River Mall is a Planned Unit Development. Typically, a conditional use permit is needed for most activities in this development. However, Sherburne County Growers Association has applied for the same permit that has been granted to Plants Place Inc. In the future, it is recommended that requests for greenhouses, farmers markets, or other temporary uses be reviewed as conditional use permits. e ccgrower-council
