FFEM.43- Code Enforcement Update
Dan Wellington presented to the Committee a redraft of Temporary Sales of Food and
Merchandise which is part of the Land Development Code. Staff has suggested that language be
changed from 5 months of temporary vending to 45 days; eliminate some of the improvements
allowed on site and to limit in terms of goods that are sold to unprocessed agriculture, marine
andforestproducts. This translates into allowing only the sale of fruits& vegetables, Christmas
trees and shrimp and clams. Only one itinerant vendor be allowed on any lot and the signage
restrictions will also be tightened up in those meas and that no congestion or hazardous
conditions created by the vendors.
Committee suggested that the language limiting the vending to 45 days be changed to
read"90days".
A motion was made and seconded to recommend approval of this amendment as
presented. Sc voted.
