CITY OF SHAKO PEE
Memorandum
TO:
Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM:
Kyle Sobota, Planner I
SUBJECT:
Fall Festival at Chuck & Don's Petfood Warehouse
MEETING DATE: October 2,2007
Introduction
Chuck and Don's Pet Food Warehouse has approached planning staff with their desire to
hold a fall festival on October 20th from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm in the northwest corner of
their shared parking lot at Crossroads Center.
As proposed, the festival area would take up 24 parking spaces and would be
encompassed by hay bales to separate the festival area from the rest of the parking lot.
The activities proposed are pony rides, pumpkin painting, a costume contest, and other
activities outlined in the attached letter. The applicant has stated that the festival will only
be held on the above date and stated time.
Planning staff has reviewed the letter and has determined that the amount of parking
provided on the site would still be in compliance with code requirements. The location of
the festival should not impact pedestrian or automobile traffic on the site, as long as the
drive aisles of the parking lot are sufficiently blocked to avoid driver confusion. Staff
also requests that the site be cleaned immediately following the festival. The fire
inspector was also contacted and approves of the festival location.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Offer and pass a motion to approve the request for the Fall Festival to take place as
presented and only on October 20,2007 from 12:00 pm until 4:00 pm.

This is a one time event being used to show our appreciation for all of our customers.
We would like to use the northwest comer of our parking lot. The space required will be
a total of 24 parking spaces. The pony rides will circle the event and the track will be
blocked off by hay bales. The rest of the events will take place "inside~' the circle.
We would like to invite the other tenants in the shopping complex to participate, but will
not require additional room if they decide to help.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.
Thank you for all of your help.
