Minnesota Renaissance Festival / Re: MNRF Use Permit revoked
« Last post by groomporter on January 17, 2023, 12:11:23 PM »County board meeting this morning summarized,
Actual decision regarding permit tabled until February 21st pending more concrete information on proposed changes to the permit. Possible March 7th drop dead date for final decision.
---------
New parts of an application to amend the permit. (Some of which MAF didn't submit until Friday, Jan. 13.):
MAF proposed a $5.00 fee to park at MNRF (I think they said just on the busiest last three weekends?)
MAF proposed to try to increase bus ridership 20%, but no updated agreements with bus companies yet. hope for transit for 50,000 patrons, but no specified plan yet.
Open parking gates earlier, and make changes to improve parking efficiency and layout of parking lots, and hire "full time" parking staff.
There is a proposed new land lease through 2026, but it is not finalized at this point.
-----------
DNR alleged unlawful trespass by parking on DNR land adjacent to the Queen's Lot. MAF will have to work that out with the DNR
