Re: Request for Farmers Market Approval-Spiral Natura! Foods
Requested Action
Remove from the table and approve a request for Spiral Natural Foods (307 East 2°d Street) to sponsor a
farmers market on Saturday, August 16, 2008 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., contingent
upon all requirements being met.
Background
Spiral Natural Foods would like to host a farmers market on the sidewalk in front of their storefront. This
item was on the July 7, agenda, and tabled to allow for addi#ional coordination with the originally
requested date(s) which corresponded with one of the downtown car shows. Following additional
discussion with the owners of Spiral Natural Foods, they have changed their requested date to Saturday,
August 16, which is not a car show weekend.
They propose that vendors park on the street, and sales be made from the sidewalk. Staff has reviewed
the request, and recommends approval, with the following conditions:
• Approval of waiver of the 2-hour parking for the five parking spots in front of Spiral Natural
Foods to allow the vendors to park their vehicles;
• Tables/tents may be set up along the sidewalk to sell items, but must not interfere with the
public's accessibility and ability to use the public sidewalk.
• Spiral Natural Foods provides proof of insurance, indicating that the event will be covered under
Spiral's policy and naming the City as an additional insured (provided); All vendors will also be
required to provide proof of insurance.
• A drawing will be provided to more clearly illustrate the location of the trucks, tents, etc. as part
of the event.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
