The property is legally described as shown on the site plan submitted. Mr. Harris has identified Mr. Murray Wright and Mr. Dave Doris as the proposed managers of this facility. The property in question is currently zoned RB on the west and agriculture on the east. The building is now the home of Willy's 61 Club. It is the intent of the owner to use the entire building and grounds as a teenage night club three days a week from 8:00 PM to 12:00 midnight. The other four days a week: the building will be operated as an adult night club where alcoholic beverages would be served. As per the staff's request, the applicants have now provided an acceptable site plan identifying parking and traffic flow on site. It should be noted that Mr. Harris owns more land than that shown on the site plan, but the only portion of the property that is affected by this special use permit will be that identified on the approved plan. At the November 21, 1989 meeting of the Planning Commission, said Commission indicated its concern regarding the sale of alcoholic beverages on site at the same time the teenage night club would be in operation. The applicants have stated they are requesting a permit for the operation of a non-alcoholic teen night club, limited to ages 1.6 to 20, to be operated a maximum of five consecutive nights, during each calendar week, at the above mentioned location, and a regular night club serving alcohol would be in operation the remaining two nights. All liquor and beer would be locked and inaccessible on teen nights. Bottle liquor would be locked in a storage room, all beer coolers would be locked with bar locks, and all E::eg beer tapping systems would be disconnected". The applicant has indicated that he will expand and improve the parking lot as shown on the site plan this winter. An application has been made with the Minnesota Department of Transportation regarding a second egress from the site in question. The applicants have indicated they will comply with the fire marshall's recommendation regarding installation of fire extinguishers and panic hardware on all exit doors. It was pointed out to the owner that the special use permit runs with the land and building in question, and that he is responsible for seeing to it that the conditions of the special use permit are adhered to if the property is to be managed by someone other than himself. The Planning Commission held a hearing at their meeting of December 27, 1989 to review this request, and recommended approval of the SUP subject to special conditions.
