<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br /> DATE: May 23, 2016 <br /> ITEM NO: 18 <br /> <br />Department Approval: Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section: <br />Name: Diane Tiegs JML City Administrator <br />Title: City Clerk <br /> TRANSIENT MERCHANT LICENSE <br /> <br />Applicant: Mark Lazarchic/Renaissance Fireworks Inc. <br />Activity: Sale of Consumer Fireworks <br />Location: 3435 Shoreline Drive <br />Date: June 24 through July 5, 2016 <br />Time: 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Lazarchich has submitted an application for a transient merchant license to sell fireworks <br />from a tent located in the parking lot at 3435 Shoreline Drive. Orono's code currently allows <br />a transient merchant to be licensed initially for 10 days, with the option for the City Council, <br />at its sole discretion, to grant an extension for up to 50 additional days. In addition, the code <br />limits the hours of activity from 8:00 am to 8:00pm. Mr. Lazarchic has also submitted the <br />attached request for Council approval to allow 2 additional days of activity and an additional <br />1 hour of evening sales each day. <br /> <br />The transient merchant and sale of consumer fireworks applications have been reviewed by <br />staff and the Long Lake Fire Chief with recommendation for approval of the activity <br />as well as the requested additional days and hours of operation; provided no problems are <br />reported. Although Council approval is not required for the Sale of Consumer Fireworks <br />permit, a draft copy is attached for Council review. Council approved a similar transient <br />merchant license for a different company in 2009, 201 0, and 2011 for the sale of consumer <br />fireworks for 10 days at the same location with the hours of operation from 9:00am- 9:00 pm. <br />Council also approved a transient merchant license for Renaissance Fireworks in 2012, 2013, <br />2014 and 2015 for the sale of consumer fireworks for 7 additional days at the same location <br />with the hours of operation from I 0:00am - 9:00pm. The applicant will monitor the area and <br />sweep when debris is on the sidewalk and shoulder area of the roadway. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> <br />Council to consider a motion to approve the above listed license. <br />
