MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION October 12, 1989 AMENDMENT TO CUP TO INCREASE NUMBER OF VIDEO GAMES Mr. Michael Schifsky, representing Bank Shot Billiards, appeared before the Commission requesting an amendment to his Conditional Use Permit to increase the number of video games to 10. Schifsky reported that he planned to remove an office area for additional space for the video games. Schifsky reported that the office space is not used and is not needed. Schifsky reported that the purpose of increasing the number of video games is to provide entertainment to adult customers while they are waiting for tables. Initially, the thought was that the games would be used by children, however, it is adults using the games. Costa asked if there was anyone from the general public present wishing to comment on this request. There was not. Herkenhoff asked if there have been any problems at the business. Schifsky reported that there have been no problems, and his operation is being used as a roll model for other billiard halls in the Metro area. Bill Suchy, County Road C resident, stated that there have been some fights in the parking lot of the center. Schifsky reported that the Sheriff's Department has not brought this to his attention and he is in contact with them on a day -to -day basis. Suchy stated that the church across the street had a meeting on the matter. Schifsky reported that the pastor of the church has visited the billiard hall and commented on what a nice facility it was and a place that helps keep younger people off the street. Schifsky reported that any problems that have occurred in the parking lot have not been serious enough that they could not be handled by the Bank Shot Billiard staff. Herkenhoff asked if there were any restraints the City could enforce should there be problems at the billiard hall. Page 10
