Re: Ducky Derby Sales Tent -Cooper Ma(I Request
.~
Dear Commission:
On behalf of the Aspen Rotary Club, I am requesting a permit to erect a vending tent on the
Cooper Avenue Mall for the three weeks prior to our principal fund raising event -the
Ducky Derby. In the past, the Commission has approved two week requests. This year, we
feel that an extra week is necessary to achieve our fundraising goals.
The operation will mimic past years. We will again have our two standard tents that we have
used in the past. These are approximately 10 feet by 10 feet each. One is used for the sales
desk and one is used to keep our merchandise out of the rain, etc. We will again have the
inflatable duck that will be erected each day and removed at night. We are aware of the
limitations on the west side of the sales area for fire access. In prior years, Ed VanWalraven
of the Fire District has directed us to keep the area between the cranberry trees/drainage
swale and the Guido's building open for fire access and we wil- continue to observe this
parameter.
We are requesting athree-week permit -Starting Saturday the 18`h of July through Friday the
7`h of August. The event is on August 8a' at Rio Grande Park.
Attached is a photo rendering of the approximate location of the tent.
Sincerely,
ris endon
Aspen Rotary Club
