She asked.him if .it is not true that his Coon Rapids operation is surrounded by a wooded area and is isolated from any residential development. Mr. Springfield told her "there are homes just a few blocks away" . Marie Schl.uender, 2708 - 27th Avenue N.E. , recounted her recent experi- ence of being almost killed by a young driver .when she was walking home from .church and is concerned that "if-.billiards and beer are permitted so close to her home , there will just be more trouble" . Pat Archambault, 2716 Pahl Avenue N.E. , said she has lived in her present home , just a block away from the shopping center, for two years , .but has -heard- all the- troubles her neighbors. had_for years with -the "young people who loitered around -the Three Circles restaurant at the end of her block, including vandalism of homes , vehicles and garages and the inability of any .of the residents in that area to park in front of their homes . She believes the City would just be asking for the same, type of troubles if a .business which will be open seven days a week and 24 hours a day is -permitted to operate in the same area. Mr. Sarja interjected that he believes "the Council still works for the public" and wanted them to "consider holding a .City vote on the question" . He also asked the City Attorney "when did we vote you in?" . Jim Cassidy, 3529 Coolidge Street N.E. , reported his friend from • St. Paul had told him his neighbors had to form a vigilante group to protect their neighborhood from some of the - types of businesses which would not be operating in St. .Anthony. Naomi Balke, 2616 - 31st Avenue N.E. , told the Council she has lived in St. Anthony for 28 years. and ."is proud of the City , the schools and the Police Department" . She was concernedwith the added burden this type of business can be expected to put on the police . She told Mr. Springfield she knows from experience how difficult it is to supervise children who get together to play pool , having had a pool table in her basement when her children were younger. She specifically mentioned cigarette smoking as one of the problems she was able to avoid but wondered if he would .have the same success . At that point-.Mr.* Springfield attempted to respond to some of the comments .made and questions raised - about his operation. He said his Coon Rapids operation is not "squeaky .clean" , but "very good" and believes the number of problems he has had "have been minimal consider- ing the number. of people we get" . He calls the police occasionally to see if .they have any problems with the way he runs his business , and is "trying to -change the image of billiards" which he believes he has pretty much. succeeded in doing, since many of his clients "bring their kids with them to play pool" . He reiterated what he had said during _the last meeting that the percentage of minors in his establishment goes from around 50 to 20 percent after school starts , .because no one • under .18 is allowed in Chick ' s during school hours or after 9 :00 P.M. Although he has senior citizens and handicapped persons for customers , he makes no claim that they constitute the majority of his clientele
