• Planning Commission 471-97: O'Neil Property • March 8, 1997 Page 17 They have shooed the teens off the property and are going to suggest to the theater that the parking lot be posted as private property so they have specific authority to remove them. They have no complaints from surrounding property owners. (The theater is in a much less developed area than would be true in Mounds View.) He would suggest remote cameras to watch the parking lot, and good lighting. He did not regard the incidents at the theater as serious or threatening. • Captain Steve Wells, Coon Rapids Police Department Lee Starr, Coon Rapids Community Development Director Re: 12-screen theater at Highway 10 and Main (Cineplex Odeon) 16-screen theater at Highway 10 and Foley (Karasotas) These two theaters have been approved but not yet built. The 12-screen theater is adjacent to a single family neighborhood on a site which allowed the theater as a permitted use. There was no controversy regarding this application. The 16- screen theater was located across a collector street from residential neighborhoods, 111111 and was on a site which required approval of a conditional use permit. There was some controversy surrounding this application, but once residents learned what other uses could go there, the controversy died down. The developer has offered to do screening in the yards of the residents across the street. They also plan to use remote cameras in the parking lot and good lighting. Staff asked Captain Wells if the Police Department had any particular concerns with the proposals, and he said no. They expect that there will be some theft from autos. (The 12-screen theater proposal by Mann Theaters for a site at Round Lake and Highway 10 has been withdrawn.) • Sergeant Martin Ring, Columbia Police Department Re: Carmike 10 Theater at 122 Aston Court, Columbia SC The theater is located in a major shopping center which is part of a larger commercial district. The theater is approximately 400 yards from any residential neighborhood. Typical incidents are thefts from autos and times when children are too loud in the lobby. Sergeant Ring's observation is that any time you have theaters, you will have children congregating, and when you have children, you get children's nonsense. They have had no serious incidents at the theater. Staff asked about management of the theater. He said that the on-site managers tend to come and go. The corporate people have been good to work with. ■ Fire The Fire Marshall for the Spring Lake Park/Blaine/Mounds View Fire Department has
