ail of <br /> I'equ©t <br /> Lakes-- <br /> COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION—VENDOR PARKING <br /> Agenda Item: 6 (a) <br /> Background Information: At the January 28 Special Meeting the City <br /> Council directed the Planning Commission to move forward with two <br /> Comprehensive Plan Implementation Action Items. This month we will discuss <br /> the following one: <br /> "Provide designated off-site parking for vendors and other support <br /> personnel during downtown festivals and gatherings so that the public <br /> space is not cluttered with vehicles and parking is available for patrons <br /> and visitors." <br /> Staff met with the Pequot Lakes Chamber Director who advised they now direct <br /> vendors to use the Chamber parking lot. The following is the email the Chamber <br /> sends to their vendors for events: <br /> "Hi Crafters, <br /> We are looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday July 4th in Pequot Lakes for Stars <br /> and Stripes Craft Fair. We have 80 crafters coming to this event and we thank you for <br /> N.. being one of them. <br /> Here are a few items that you will need to know heading into this event. <br /> • Set up is Saturday morning after 6:00 am. <br /> • Vendor check in, is on the south side of the Welcome Center Parking Lot, watch <br /> for signs.
