Trailer to be parked overnight only as shown on the site plan. Overnight parking is limited to Friday <br />through Sunday of the sales weekends. <br />Background/Discussion <br />Mr. Pantelis requests a Transient Merchant License to sell kites, ground spinners, wood carvings, and windsocks <br />from the parking lot of Wash-n-Fill. He has written permission from the property owner. Wash-n-Fill is in the <br />process of rebranding to a Holiday but ownership will remain the same. <br />Overnight storage of equipment or merchandise is not allowed without Council approval. <br />Mr. Pantelis requests to store an 8x12 trailer on site Friday — Sunday on sales weekends. Trailers parked on site for <br />extended periods have the potential to detract from site aesthetics, impact visibility and traffic flow, and provide a <br />place for signage. Conditions 7-9 mitigate many concerns for overnight parking. <br />Staff is not aware of any issues with this same permit over the past seven years. <br />Financial Impact <br />N/A <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires pi ospei ly. <br />M <br />TUREJ <br />Updated.• August 2020 <br />
