Finding of Fact Number 5 of that approval states as follows: "The proposed use is unlikely to be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other properties in the immediate vicinity. Operations would be housed indoors and be primarily during the peak season months. Use during the off-season would be substantially diminished." The public hearing for your Conditional Use Permit request to build and sell utility buildings,held February 21, 2008, included discussion of your plans to be open 7 days a week through Christmas and from Christmas to Memorial Day you planned to be open Wednesday through Sunday. You also stated that you plan to offer the outside spaces under the canopy to flea market vendors, also known as buy/sell vendors. The buy/sell vendors do not mix with the crafters. You also stated that you only anticipate a few outside vendors. It has been brought to our attention that there have been quite a few outside vendors and that these outside vendors are not being required to be under the canopy. They may be out in the grassy areas and in the parking lot. If this is the case, that was not the understanding the Planning Commission had for the Crafters Market. I
