Council approves Crumble Cookies mass gathering permit for June employee event at Creekside Park
Summary
Alpine City Council approved a mass-gathering permit May 13 allowing Crumble Cookies to hold a June 5 employee appreciation event at Creekside Park with about 500 expected attendees, subject to conditions on parking, porta-potties and insurance.
The Alpine City Council on May 13 approved a mass-gathering permit for Crumble Cookies to hold an employee appreciation event at Creekside Park on June 5 from 6 to 9 p.m.
Staff reviewed Alpine Municipal Code 8.602 and noted the permit is required for gatherings over the threshold set by code. The applicant submitted a site plan showing use of the pavilion and nearby on-street and off-site parking. Planning staff and the Lone Peak Police Department reviewed the plan; police detective Wagstaff signed off on operational safety. The applicant provided general-liability insurance and a trash/disposal plan.
Staff recommended the council require porta-potties if the existing restrooms were insufficient under county health requirements (the city code requires one chemical toilet per 250 people); staff suggested two portable units would meet the code for 500 attendees but noted the park possess restroom facilities that may change the final requirement. Staff also recommended limits on parking placement along Village Way and 600 East and suggested the applicant provide off-site parking or shuttle service if necessary.
Council voted to approve the mass-gathering permit with conditions including insurance, trash removal plan, compliance with code and coordination with police for crowd control. Roll-call votes recorded: Jessica Smuin, yes; Kelly Law, yes; Chrissy Hanneman, yes; Jason Thielen, yes; Brent Remler, yes.
Why it matters: The permit authorizes a large private event in a public park and establishes operational conditions the city will use to reduce impacts on park users and nearby neighborhoods.
