Ross, CA 94957

Dear Rob,

This letter is an urgent request to the Town Council of Ross to approve the placement of signs for Marin Community Farm Stands & CSA operating as a cultural community event every Tuesday at the Marin Art & Garden Center.

MCFS has a long history operating for 10 years at MAGC.  Previous ordinances adopted by Ross administrations under former Mayor Jeanne Barr go back to 2005 and allowed for signage along Sir Francis Drake Blvd.  MCFS is requesting a minimum of two A-Frame signs.

Marin Community Farm Stands represents the cooperative efforts of over 20 Marin Organic farms from the communities of Bolinas, Point Reyes, Inverness, Nicasio, Tomales, Lagunitas and San Anselmo. MCFS is foremost in bringing the educational message of local sustainable agriculture and green movements in our normal course of business. The farm stand brings this message through all its producers, their certificates, organic certifications and the CSA, (as a community supported agriculture program) as well as the educational activities of other non-profits.

A timely vote by the Town Council will assure the continued operation of the Farm Stand at MAGC on Tuesday June 11, 2013.  Without permission to place our signs, we can not opererate.  We thank you in advance for this consideration.

Sincerely,

James J. Baum
President MCFS

Letter to Town Council on this issue from Marin Art & Garden Center

June 5, 2013

Town of Ross
Box 320
Ross, CA 94957

Dear Mayor Russell and Town Council members,

The Marin Art and Garden Center (MAGC) asks for permission for James Baum to place two a-frame signs along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, on MAGC property, one near the stoplight at the main entrance directly across from Lagunitas and another at the corner of Sir Francis Drake and Laurel Grove. There are three types of signs (pictures included) Hopefully one of these styles will work well with the town aesthetics, and two similar signs will be used for display on SFD Blvd. These signs will be put out at 11am and taken in at 7pm. These signs are the main source driving traffic to the Marin Community Organic Farm Stand scheduled at MAGC every Tuesday from June 11 to October 27, 2013.

Marin Community Organic Farm Stand has been a staple at MAGC for ten years, providing the Town of Ross and visitors to MAGC with fresh organic produce and products from over 20 farms and businesses in Marin and nearby communities.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,
James Baum
