Body
Previous Commission Action: N/A
Background/Problem Discussion: For information about this event, see the attached Special Relief Permit Application, flyer, and site/parking map.
While this event is scheduled for the same week as the Pelican Women’s Championship, the applicant is willing to abide by the parking restrictions set forth in the Pelican Women’s Championship permit application (namely, no parking on Ponce de Leon Boulevard). As an alternative, participants in One Hour of Fashion and Fun will be directed to be dropped off at the event or to park along the sidewalk side of The Mall or in other areas where parking is not restricted (i.e. Hunter Memorial Park, the Garden Club driveway, and on streets otherwise not marked “no parking”).
Expenditure Challenges Due to the philanthropic manner of this event, and its small impact to Town staff and operations, staff is recommending a waiver of the $50 special permit application fee for this event.
Financial Implications: N/A
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Special Relief Permit Application for One Hour of Fashion and Fun with an application fee waiver.
Proposed Motion I move approval of the Special Relief Permit Application for One Hour of Fashion and Fun with an application fee waiver.
