-�. F. Coach and/or transit bus service to operate in I S to 20 minute intervals from 8 am to midnight each day during the Fair. Bus service contracted with Metro Transit and/or Lorenz Bus Company, or other transit provider. G. Provision by each property owner of a certificate of insurance with the State of Minnesota Risk Management Division for liability. 4.7 The Minnesota State Fair has included a letter from each church seeking inclusion as a park & ride lot during the 10 day State Fair. 4.8 A site plan indicates the parking area and number of spaces to be used for the park & ride, and an aerial photo provided by the City identifies the premises and the surrounding neighborhood. 4.9 The number of vehicles parked within the lots at North Como Presbyterian Church and Calvary Church will depend on specific church activities, weddings and funerals. That being said, North Como Presbyterian Church proposes to allow up to 146 spaces and Calvary Church 387 spaces. 5.0 STAFF FINDINGS: 5.1 The proposed interim use (two weeks per year) of the property for temporary off-street parking of vehicles and bus transportation to the Fair Grounds will have a minimal impact on each site's parking and traffic in the area. Most activity will take place during off-peak hours. 5.2 The proposed interim use of the property for temporary off-street parking of vehicles and bus transportation to the Fair Grounds will not have an impact on parks, streets and other public facilities. Each site is required to have temporary bathroom facilities and there is no need for use of public or private utilities. Bus pick-up for both proposed sites will be internal to the premises, with buses entering the site and pick-up generally by the tent. 5.3 The proposed interim use of temporary off-street vehicle parking and bus transportation to the Fair Grounds on the property is an appropriate use of the site and is a compatible use with contiguous properties. Traffic volumes in the area will increase slightly during the two-week period, but measures will be taken to use only collector streets, not local residential streets. 5.4 The proposed interim use of the property for temporary off-street parking of vehicles and bus transportation to the Fair Grounds will not have an adverse impact on the market value of contiguous properties. 5.5 The proposed interim use of the property for temporary off-street parking of vehicles and bus transportation to the Fair Grounds will not have an adverse impact on the general public health, safety and welfare.
