Overview
The applicant requests a General Planning Permit to erect a sales tent to conduct firework
sales in the parking lot. It will be used from June 22, 2004 through July 5, 2004. The hours
of operation will be from 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. and possibly could be open later the few days
prior to July 4th.
The proposed location is in the triangular portion of the parking lot west of River City Glass.
It appears that in this location the tent will not disrupt traffic flow nor will it create any
parking problems.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the applicant's request for a General
Planning Permit to conduct firework sales from a 30' x 40' sales tent with the following
condition:
1. NO ELECTRICAL SERVICES SHALL BE ACROSS ANY DRIVE OR
WALKING SURFACE.
2. IF TRAFFIC BECOMES A PROBLEM AROUND THE TEMPORARY
SITE, THE SALES AREA SHALL BE DELINEATED WITH A BARRIER
TO RESTRICT TRAFFIC.
3. THE SALES TENT SHALL BE MAINTAINED FREE OF DEBRIS AND
KEPT IN AN ORDERLY CONDITION.
4. THE LOCATION OF THE TENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
SUBMITTED SITE PLAN AND MEETS ALL FIRE CODES.
5. THE TENT SHALL BE REMOVED WITHIN ONE WEEK OF THE
END OF THE SALES PERIOD AND THE SITE BE RETURNED TO ITS
PREVIOUS CONDITION.

31, 2004.
