-3- When Councilman Marks questioned whether th.e hours of operation should be specifically • set for the store, Mr. Childs told him the City Ordinance only limits the hours of operation for businesses identified as "recreational ", a classification he perceives would probably not be applicable to a video store of this type. Mr. Applebaum was present but offered no. further input to the discussion. Motion by Councilman Makowske and seconded by Mayor.Sundland to, grant a conditional use permit to Howard Applebaum, 1583 Saunders, St. Paul , Minnesota, to operate a video cassette equipment sales and rental store. in Apache Plaza, as proposed, subject to the following condit'i.ons set for this type of operation by the City Ordinance: 1 . There would be no viewing of tapes in the store, except for bona fide demonstra- tions of tapes and no viewing would be visible from outside the store; 2. The proprietors must comply with all state laws relating to obscenity and to any ordinance of the City of St. Anthony thereafter relating to obscenity; 3. Conviction of the owner, or any of the employees of the owner, for violation of obscenity laws in the operation of the store would be grounds for revocation of this permit by the City Council ; and 4.

The proposed conditional use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing-or working in the vicinity or injurious to property values or improvements in the vicinity; and 3.

The Planning Commission representative reiterated much of the discussion the Commission members had with the applicant, Dan Jaeger, regarding the sign he proposes to erect on the same base which had supported the sign for Craig & Company, which had been blown down in the tornado. Mr. Jaeger assured the Councilmembers that he intended only to berm around the existing base to provide stability for the sign, and .not to build up the height of the sign itself. The shop proprietor indicated he would remove the rubble of the former sign from the site as soon as possible and would only incorporate the logo used for his other shops if he can work it into a sign size which would conform to • the City Sign Ordinance. Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to grant the variance to the City Sign Ordinance which would accept the design proposed for the free
