.' . . . Arden Hills Council June 28, 1993 8 vendor appears to be operating in the County right-of-way and disturbing City flowerbeds in the area; she asked for Council review per Ordinance 13.93. Mayor Sather suggested that the vendor be contacted and notified that he could continue to operate at that site this week, but would need Council approval to continue to operate thereafter. Councilmember Malone commented that open air sales are specifically prohibited in certain zones within the City, and he believes it is unfair to allow open air vendors to compete with taxpaying businesses. He questioned whether the Ramada Hotel has the power to grant permission for any type of retail sales on their property. He added that he does not believe the City has accepted outdoor vendors in the past even though they have operated from time to time and been overlooked. MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, to direct staff to advise the itinerant vendor operating at the corner of Lexington Avenue and County Road E that as of Saturday, July 3, 1993 at 12:01 a.m. the permission granted by staff will be null and void. Motion carried unanimously (5-0). Council briefly discussed the acceptability of a hotel operation allowing special retail sales events within its premises. Mayor Sather commented that it has become commonplace for signs advertising such special events to be displayed at the Ramada Hotel on a regular basis although this may not be within the defillition of a hotel. Note was made that the sign ordinance includes a process restricting sign permits for such events.
