APPROVED AS
AMENDED
Mr. Dennis Hunt withdrew his application for a Conditional Use Permit CONTINUATION
for a parking lot in a R-1 zone at 1546 Crawford Avenue so the continua- OF PUBLIC

Black.
Chairman Black then opened a Public Hearing at 8:02 P.M. on an
amendment to a Conditional Use Permit at 1544 Larpenteur Avenue
(JJ's Pool & Arcade). The proprietors of JJ's requested amendments
that (1) allow them to employ one person rather than two persons after
7:00 P.M., if business warrants it (condition R-89-5, #1) and (2) allow
the business to stay open until 1:00 A.M. rather than midnight seven days
a week (condition R-89-5, #l0a).
Susan Hoyt Taff reminded everyone that the original Conditional Use
Permit called for a 3 month review. She also reported that the police
experienced no problems at the amusement center, and no residents notified
City Hall with complaints regarding the amusement center.
PUBLIC HEARING
REQUESTED BY Mr.
JOSEPH A. SACCO,
1544 LARPENTEUR
Mr. Joseph Sacco, proprietor of JJ's, indicated that business at the present
time doesn't warrant having two adult employees on the premises after 7:00 P.M.
Mr. Jim Sacco said the facilities are well lit both inside and outside, and the
space is very open so it is easy to keep an eye on customers at all times. The
second request for a change in the closing time was initiated beeause their
customers after 10:00 P.M. are somewhat older than daytime customers. They
believe the 18-20 year olds would stay the extra hour if they were open.
Resident Mr. Mark Kosanke of 1471 California stated that he hadn't noticed
any problems in the neighborhood from JJ's. He requested that the Planning
Commission review the Conditional Use Permit in six months, if the proposed
amendments were adopted.
• Resident Steve Dahlstrom of 1502 California said that he occasionally saw
young people hanging out in the back parking lot and heard drag racing
down his street. He was not generally in favor of extended hours or less
adult supervision.
Commissioner Daykin indicated that the "No Right Turn" sign in the rear
parking lot exits on Arona are not prominent and may be overlooked
while exiting the back lot.
There being no further comments, Chairman Black closed the Public
Hearing at 8:30 P.M.
Commissioner Finegan moved to amend the existing Conditional Use Permit
for 1544 Larpenteur condition #1 to allow the business to remain open
until 1 A.M. on Saturday and Sunday and condition #10 to allow the
business owners to employ one person after 7 P.M. on Sunday through
Thursday evenings, and to require a review of the Conditional Use Permit
in three months from the date of City Council action on tl~ amendments.
The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Daykin requested that the building manager be asked to attend
the City Council Meeting on August 9, 1989 to discuss the '°No Right Turn"
signs in the rear parking lot.
Susan. Hoyt Taff presented the Commission with a revised project timetable
for the Procedures Manual.
MOTION ON
AMENDMENTS TO
CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT FOR 1544
LARPENTEUR
Carol Carlson reported on proposed changes to the Swimming Pool Ordinance,
Section 9-14.02 of the City Code. The draft ordinance included a more
specific definition of swimming pool, revised the fencing requirements
from 6' to 5', and re-organization. According to Ms. Carlson's research, the
State Health Department Inspector recommends a five foot fence built of a non-
climbable material beginning no more than 4 inches above ground level. Discussion
about filling the pool during construction prior to the construction of a
permanent fence followed. Ms. Carlson said she would re-work the. draft
ordinance to specify a temporary fence be erected if the pool is filled during
construction.
Commissioner Finegan suggested the Commission wait to make recommendations until
after a Public Hearing on the Ordinance, Chapter 9-14.02, on September 11, 1989.
Chairman Black adjourned the meeting at 9:
