Bachround
Spiral Natural Foods would like to host a farmers market on the sidewalk in front of their storefront
August 7-9, 2008. 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;
• A drawing will be provided to more clearly illustrate the location of the trucks, tents, etc. as part
of the event.
Tom Hultburg, manager of Spiral, has stated that they have been in contact with their insurance company
to provide proof of insurance. Ali vendors will also be required to provide proof of insurance. A drawing
of the proposed layout is forthcoming; staff will review once received.
If you have any'questions, please let me know.
