Council approves temporary‑use permit for Marietta Farms pumpkin patch with adjusted setup dates
Summary
The council granted a temporary‑use permit for a Marietta Farms pumpkin patch at 1600 W. Highway 54, approving operational dates Sept. 26–Oct. 31 with setup beginning Sept. 10 and teardown by Nov. 7 after staff and applicant discussed early deliveries and weather constraints.
Staff presented the temporary‑use application ZTU25-0002 for Marietta Farms pumpkin patch at 1600 W. Highway 54 (presentation and site details in the meeting packet). The applicant explained weather and supply timing required earlier on‑site deliveries and asked to begin setup earlier than the standard one‑week window; staff recommended reasonable setup and teardown windows given site logistics (SEG 822–848).
Council asked about current site compliance and visible equipment already on site; the applicant said heavy rain and limited windows to move hay and structures required early staging. After discussion, Council member Carrington moved to approve a temporary‑use permit with adjusted dates to allow setup beginning Sept. 10, operation from Sept. 26–Oct. 31, and teardown by Nov. 7. The motion passed by voice vote, recorded as 6–0.
Council members expressed support for the event’s community and employment benefits and asked the applicant to ensure timely cleanup after teardown. The council and applicant agreed to remain in contact during setup to resolve any staging or compliance concerns.
