.
The proposed location for the greenhouse is near the southwest corner of the
parking lot along Evans Street. The location is out of the main flow of traffic
and will take up about 20 parking spaces.
Plant Place has conducted their greenhouse business from this location for
the past 4 years without any complaints and there have been no reports of
any problems associated with their operation.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Jim Schoers request for a general planning
permit to allow a temporary greenhouse/garden center at the Corborn's
parking lot with the following conditions:
1. IF TRAFFIC BECOMES A PROBLEM AROUND THE SITE, THE SALES AREA SHOULD BE
DELINEATED WITH SOME TYPE OF BARRIER TO RESTRICT TRAFFIC.
2. THE GREENHOUSE/GARDEN CENTER MUST BE KEPT IN GOOD CONDITION
THROUGHOUT THE TIME IT IS IN PLACE.
3. THE LOCATION OF THE GREENHOUSE WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE SITE PLAN.
4.
THE GREENHOUSE AND DISPLAY AREA SHALL BE REMOVED WITHIN 1 WEEK OF THE
END OF SALES AND THE SITE RETURNED TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION.
