MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 28, 1996 matter. Johnson reported that he is not an absentee owner, and he monitors the activities at the business. Johnson reported that this is not the type of facility where large bus loads of children are brought in and dropped off. Parties would be supervised at all times. Fahey suggested a text amendment should be adopted to address this specific type of recreation use. Pedersen asked if there was a majority of the Council in favor of such a text amendment. Pedersen pointed out that if the Council did not support the use in this area, the applicant would not want to go through the expense of applying for a text amendment. Scalze felt if a text amendment were approved, the definition of the use should be very specific. Scalze stated that she did not want to see things like bumper cars at the facility. Fahey indicated he would support a text amendment, and asked if the Council wanted to place reasonable restrictions on the use. Morelan pointed out that the use could be made a Conditional Use, thereby giving the Council the authority to impose restrictions if it felt they were necessary. Fahey indicated that he would be supportive of the text amendment and suggested the matter be sent to the Planning Commission for review and comment. One consideration is whether to make the use a permitted use or a conditional use. The property owner was advised to make application for a text amendment if he wished to pursue Grand Slam as a tenant.
