Waldron <br />Rick Jopke .� <br />SUBJECT: Garage Sale on County Road B <br />As you are aware, the City has received complaints and concerns <br />about the charitable qarage sale lude traffic saf ty because of <br />once or twice a year. Concerns in <br />the large number cars parking on Coo the ar a B and the number of <br />peop1e that the garage sale draws t <br />The City's current ordinance limits garage and b�iutique sales to <br />one sale per calendar year for reurational The S ordinance 1 also <br />exceed ten consecutive days in d <br />requires that the items sold shall belace eor b friendsu of such <br />the premises on which the sale takes p Y <br />occupant where the sale is conducted by such occupant and <br />friends. It is my understanding that in past years the City has <br />allowed this particular sale to occur more than once a year. The <br />size of the garage sale has grown and as indicated previously, <br />has been causing problems and complaints. <br />The following are alternative ways of addressing this issue: <br />1. Continue to use the present or�inance and limit the sale to <br />one time per year. <br />2, Amend the ordinance to require that u� sp�e� iabyus criar�itable <br />obtained for garage sales p <br />organizations and/or more than two residential property <br />owners. This would allow the ura io� Searid �numbernof�times <br />approvals to limit the size, d , <br />per year that the sale can occur such ti�at it does not cause <br />roblems to the area. <br />P <br />3. Require that the large garage sales occur on commercial or <br />institutional properties. Typically commercial and <br />institution�l properties will have suff icient open space and <br />sufficient off street parkings and ar aize �his should also <br />such a sale on adjacent street <br />be done by ordinance amendment. In commer_cial areas this <br />could be part of a special that pthelt arage �saledwoaldpnot <br />and merchandising to insure g . <br />cause onsite parking and traffic circulation problems. <br />My recommendation would be alternative number three. Please <br />advise which direction we sho entsp and ordi�ancea amendments pif <br />together more detailed requirem <br />necessary. <br />
