institute measures to do so. Therefore cit staff recommends <br />the termination of the conditional use permit. <br />Messrs. Joe and Jim Sacco, owners of J.J.'s Pool & Game Arcade, <br />appeared before the Commission. Mr. Joe Sacco explained that <br />hiring two uniformed security guards and closing earlier was <br />financially impossible for the business. He reported that 65 <br />percent of their gross annual income came from the games so <br />removal of the games leaving only the pool tables was a <br />financial hardship. Mr. Sacco said despite efforts to control <br />the patrons, violent incidents arose because assault crimes are <br />on the increase in the area due to gangs. When employees tried <br />to monitor the back door for exit use only, the patrons came <br />through adjacent businesses. The owners said they were unable <br />to institute measures to meet the conditions of the conditional <br />use permit. <br />Chairperson Boche thanked Messrs. Joe and Jim Sacco for coming <br />to the meeting and for their cooperation in reviewing the <br />permit. <br />Lee Barry moved to adopt the staff recommendation to the City <br />Council to terminate the conditional use permit for J.J.'s Pool <br />& Game Arcade at 1544 W. Larpenteur Avenue with the <br />understanding that the termination of the conditional use permit <br />would mean no game establishment could open at Northome without <br />• a new conditional use permit. It passed unanimously. <br />The recommendation to revoke the conditional use permit was <br />based on the following findings: <br />o that conditions 3, 6, 9, and 10 of the conditional use <br />permit as amended on August 9, 1989, relating to the <br />security of the business and parking lot, the use of the <br />rear exit, and the disruption of community standards of <br />peace and quiet are not being met as evidenced in police <br />reports on 1544 W. Larpenteur Avenue; <br />o that the business owners concurred that the conditions <br />are not being met; <br />o that the business owners stated that they could not <br />implement measures to meet the conditions; <br />o and that the procedures for a revocation of a <br />conditional use permit as identified in section 9- <br />15.04(5) of the City Code have been duly followed. <br />REPORT ON PROPOSED METHOD OF TERMINATING CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS <br />AS P F TH CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT PROCES <br />Planner Hoyt reported that she contacted City Attorney Tom Gedde <br />2 <br />• <br />
