<br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: 04.26.99 <br />ITEM NO: J-6 <br /> <br /> <br />Manager Approved: Agenda Section: <br />b Re orts/Recommendations <br />Request for Spring and Fall 1999 Garage Sale Permitl YMCA <br />(PF3074) <br /> <br /> <br />1.0 Background: <br /> <br />This request was submitted to the City Council for consideration at their meeting of <br />April 12, 1999. However, the notice to the applicant was mailed to the YMCA rather <br />than to Mr. Robert Hengelfelt's home address (letter attached); therefore, Mr. <br />Hengelfelt was not aware that his request was before the Council. He has since advised <br />that he will be at the meeting of April 26th to discuss his application. <br /> <br />The YMCA has requested approval of a spring garage sale set up and sale promotion <br />permit for Wednesday, May 19th through Sunday, May 23rd, 1999 and, for their fall <br />garage sale for Wednesday, September 22nd through Sunday, September 26th, at 1170 W. <br />County Road B. The requested set-up for the spring sale will begin Saturday, May 16th, <br />and the set-up for the fall sale will begin Saturday, September 18111. <br /> <br />1.1 The City Code, Section 1004.01 I (attached), states that a normal residential garage sale <br />may be up to 3 days long, three times during anyone calendar year. The sale must be <br />held between the hours of 8:00 am and 6:00pm. For garage sales/promotions that <br />will vary from those standards, the Code requires Council approval. <br /> <br />The YMCA Sale varies in the following ways: <br /> <br />1) It is longer than 3 days of sales; <br /> <br />2) The set-up period will begin three to six days prior to the sale. <br /> <br />3) Because ofthe magnitude ofthe garage sale promotions, a portion of the <br />items for sale will most likely be stored on the yard, not within the garage <br />or screened areas. <br /> <br />1.2 On September 14,1998, the last time a garage sale request was submitted by the YMCA, <br />the Council expressed concern about this event due to concerns for the health and <br />safety of persons attending the sale. Although the no-parking designation on the north <br />side of County Road B during the sale helps considerably, some of the Council <br />
