Community organizations should find a more appropriate <br />location for such events including city parks, city parking lots, joint use parking lots at <br />shopping centers, church parking lots and ball fields. Such sites may have more <br />parking, adequate pedestrian safety zones, signage, visibility, sanitary systems, lighting <br />and perhaps security. <br /> <br />If the Councii determines it appropriate to approve this request, the staffwill again ask <br />that Ramsey County restrict parking with temporary signage on the north side of <br />County Road B, from Fernwood Avenue to Lexington Avenue, and notices will be sent <br />to affected property owners along County Road B. <br /> <br />Alternative Council Actions: <br /> <br />By motion, approve the 1999 Spring YMCA Sale Promotion at 1170 West County Road <br />B, with set-up to occur from three to six days prior to the sale and approve outside <br />storage of sales materials for this time period. with no parking on the north side of <br />County Road B during sale hours: <br /> <br />Spring Sale: Wednesday, May 19 through Sunday, May 23,1999 <br />Maximum Hours: 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. <br /> <br />By motion, approve the 1999 Fall YMCA Sale Promotion at 1170 West County Road B, <br />with set-up to occur from three to six days prior to the sale and approve outside <br />storage of sales materials for this time period, with no parking on the north side of <br />County Road B during sale hours: <br /> <br />Fall Sale: <br /> <br />Wednesday, September 22 through Sunday, September 27,1999 <br />Maximum Hours: 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. <br /> <br />3.3 By motion approve for th~ period of one week (May 16 - May 23 and September 20 - <br />September 27) a temporary 4' x 8' lawn sign directing traffic to the new sale site and <br />deny the requested sale permit(s) because of incompatibility with County Road Band <br />the single famiiy residential zone, traffic and pedestrian safety issues, insufficient off- <br />street parking and the need for public sanitation facilities, and further, suggest to <br />YMCA sale organizers that the YMCA grounds, building and parking located at 3760 <br /> <br />2 <br />
