Member Mulder asked for capacity of the lots. Mr. Grans had not completed a count. Member Mulder asked if parking was done on "green space" rather than pavement area. (Parking must be on pavement). There being no further public comment, Chair Duncan closed the hearing. Member Cunningham recommended the following additional condition: Portable restrooms be placed furthest away from adjacent residences. Member Mulder recommended a condition: expand the time until midnight, even though it is not completely closed until later. Member Mulder recommended that the operation be 24 hours or some other constraint. Member Traynor suggested "hours of operation" be defined as staffing, monitoring, and bus service only. Member Mulder agreed and requested that the definition be placed in the interim use permit. Member Mulder asked if Cleveland (Bethany site) was appropriate for the Fair traffic and turning movements. Deb Bloom noted there are bus stops on Cleveland but usually for one or two riders. The center lane is not a passing lane. Is the Skillman access with loading on the parking lot to be used in 2002? (Yes) Member Mulder recommended this should be a condition. Member Mulder asked if cleanup should extend beyond the parking site? Chair Duncan asked if the City could do this on public right-of-way and charge for the clean up? (Yes) Member Olson preferred each site should be reviewed annually. Member Mulder noted that violation of an Interim Use Permit could be cause to revoke the permit; the City should only review the Bethany site this year (2002). Violations will trigger a review of the site in the future. Chair Duncan asked if St. Rose should be included in any review. Member Olson noted that Grace Church also had a permit. She asked that either all or none be in an annual review. Member Cunningham suggested review be made only based on complaints or violation, with revocation if continued violation, but retain Bethany for annual review since it is the only new site. Member Mulder asked for the permitted capacity of lot and definition of "permitted paved parking" at each site. Member Traynor asked if St. Rose's on-street parking management should be a condition or directed to staff. Member Duncan and Member Mulder agreed that this is outside the site permit, but could be worked on with City staff. Motion: Member Mulder moved, seconded by Member Cunningham, that based on the information provided in the project report dated February 6, 2002, the Planning Commission recommends approval of the combined (seven) Interim Use Permits to allow temporary off-street parking of vehicles and bus transportation to the Fair Grounds for the Minnesota State Fair in association with Bethany Baptist Church, Church of Corpus Christi, Grace Church of Roseville, Roseville Covenant Church, Roseville Area High School, St. Michael's Lutheran Church and St. Rose of Lima Church, subject to the following conditions: A. The hours of operation (defined as hours when staffing, monitoring and bus service is available) at each of the seven sites are from 8 a.m. to midnight during the 12-day Minnesota State Fair. Parking shall only occur on the permitted, paved surface within each site. B. Each site must have a minimum of one portable restroom that is cleaned on a regular basis (every four days); portable restrooms shall be placed no closer than 75' to any adjoining residence. C. Each site must have trash containers appropriately placed throughout the site to encourage use and each site must provide clean up on streets adjacent to their site. Each trash container must be emptied daily. D. Each site must be monitored (walked by volunteer staff) hourly between the hours of 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. and every half-hour between the hours of 7 p.m. and midnight. E. Each site is allowed directional signage and a "lot full" sign not exceeding 28 inches by 36 inches. Directional signage must be placed on the site directing users away from local residential streets. Set-up and takedown of directional signage and other pertinent information must take place daily. F. All bus traffic must take place on collector streets; St. Rose must use Hamline Avenue only as entry/exit for buses. G. The Interim Use Permit for Bethany Baptist Church shall be reviewed by staff in 2002 (and reported to the Commission and Council) to determine whether adjacent property owner concerns have been properly addressed. Loading/unloading shall take place in the parking lot; Skillman shall be the entry for buses and Cleveland shall be the exit for buses. H. The Interim Use Permits for Church of Corpus Christi, Grace Church of Roseville, Roseville Covenant Church, Roseville Area High School, St. Michael's Lutheran Church, and St. Rose do not have an annual review component
