A - PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 14, 1980 PAGE 3 officers wi11 be provided if necessary. It was pointed out that the affidavits submitted were all in reference to such operations located in a mall and that this operation could be better controlled in such a location. Councilman Wilmosky stated that the Commission must consider that the submitted plans are not complete and that the Commission must consider the safe use of the property. Assistant Law Director D. Ryan stated that there is no specific exclusion of a y,ame room in the Ordinances, but that the Commission does have a charge to consider overall land use pertaining to safety and welfare of the Coffinunity. Chairman Bugala stated that there are safety hazzards at that location and he would like the Safety Director to review the proposal and he would also like infor- mation as to what problens the Police have encountered with the existing game room. The neighboring residents presented a petition with.106 signatures objecting to the game room at that location and a letter of opposition from Third Federal Savings and Loan which is adjacent to the proposed game room. The main objections are: 1) There is no way to limit number of people in building and parking for 25 cars is insufficient (Fire Marshall stated that building could hold 100 people). Cars will have to park on adjacent streets and parking lots. 2) Location is too close to an elementary school and to residential areas. 3) Hours of operation are later than other surrounding businesses and vandalism, which is already a problem,,will be increased. 4) Traffic congestion wi11 be increased. 5) This is not a safe location for young people to congregate.6) Outside lighting is insufficient. 7) Hours of operation cannot be controlled as they could be in a mall.
