primary Issues to Consider
0 Does Eddie Bauer, Inc. meet the conditions for a
transient merchant license?
Yes. A transient merchant is defined as:
"Transient merchant II means and includes
persons...who engage in or transact any temporary or
transient business in this state,...selling goods,
wares and merchandise, and who for the purpose of
carrying on such business, hire or lease.. .a
building,...for the exhibition and sale of such
goods, wares and merchandise.
0 Does this sale meet the zoning requirments?
This area is zoned industrial. The zoning ordinance
was amended in 1990 to allow retail sales in
industrial areas as long as no more than 25% of the
building is used for retail. Eddie Bauer has agreed
. to this condition. The site plan shows almost half
of the 114,000 s. f. being leased by Eddie Bauer. A
large part of this area, however, will be used for
storage.
0 Is there sufficient parking?
There are more than 400 parking spaces available.
This meets the zoning requirements for the
approximately 30,000 s.f. of retail that is planned
to be used. Whether this will be sufficient depends
on how many people will attend the sale.
0 Is this a proper area for a retail sale?
This area was not designed to be used for retail.
While there is probably sufficient parking, there
may be considerable traffic generated. The zoning
ordinance, however, allows this use.
The president of the Park Valley neighborhood
association has been notified.

0 What impact will this sale have on Hopkins?
This is a difficult question since it is not
possible to know how many people will be attracted
to this sale. There will be traffic congestion.
There will probably an impact on the surrounding
residential area. There will be additional demands
on city services such as police.
Eddie Bauer has agreed to pay for either Hopkins
police officers or other security to provide for
traffic control and security within the building.
Alternatives
1) Approve the transient merchant license. This will
allow Eddie Bauer, Inc. to conduct a sale in
Wests ide Park from March 6 to March 24.
. 2) Approve the license with conditions. Conditions
could include hours of operations, security, etc.
3) Do not approve the transient merchant license.
