1 facilities who also sold and rented video tapes and suggested that <br /> 2 the conditions imposed conform to those the Commission and Council had <br /> imposed on those facilities. <br /> 4 >The City Manager had attached to his memorandum a copy of the minutes <br /> 5 of the March 27, 1986 Council meeting where similar conditions had <br /> 6 been imposed on the conditional use permit for video tape and <br /> 7 equipment rental granted to the Apache Country Store which could be <br /> 8 used as a model for the Commission's recommendation related to this <br /> 9 request. <br /> 10 >The City Manager reported the applicant had called his attention to <br /> it the fact that April 5th had been identified as falling on Tuesday <br /> 12 rather than Wednesday in the hearing, but Mr. Childs said this error <br /> 13 was a minor one which would not invalidate the notice. <br /> 14 >Mr. Sorensen's had been the only call staff had received to date on <br /> 15 the request. <br /> 16 Commissioner Brownell commented that he perceived the conditions imposed <br /> 17 on other such permits had specifically related to the laws of the State <br /> 18' of Minnesota relating to obscenity and any ordinance the City might pass <br /> 19 relating to the same issue. The Commissioner wondered whether any of <br /> 20 those statutes were concerned with the rental of R-rated movies to <br /> 21 minors because he had experienced problems with children renting films <br /> 22 which were so rated. <br /> A check of the City's ordinance revealed no requirement for parental <br /> 4 guidance related to such rentals. However, Mr. Sorensen reported that <br /> 5 anyone who rented one of his films would have to have a valid drivers <br /> 26 license which he perceived would prevent anyone under 16 from renting <br /> 27 such materials. He also said although he might carry a few R-rated <br /> 28 movies in his establishment he would be willing to stipulate that he <br /> 29 never intended to carry X-rated materials. <br /> 30 The hearing was closed at 9:20 P.M. for the following: <br /> 31 Planning Commission Recommendation <br /> 32 Motion by Brownell, seconded by London to recommend the City Council <br /> 33 grant a conditional use permit to Gas Unlimited Inc.
