Councilman Schneider stated the construction management approach �e
attractive in the sense that the firm's representativc is on-slte at all
times to make sure everything is done according to specifications. He

BY GREG ASPR(Yi'�I:
Mr. RoY�iertson, Community Development Director, stated this special use
pezmit is to allocv a billiard ha11 and arca2e with a snack bar in the P.ice
Creek Business Center lccated east of Ccnumrce Circle East and south ef 73rd
P_venue. He stated this request i� made possible by a recent ord�nance
1 change making it allaaable to have carnnercia] uses in industrial zones. He
etated the Rice Creek Business Center was a multi-tenartt buildiru� ccnsisting
of a large n�ber of chfferent office, car¢nercial and quasi-ecc�rtnerical uses.
Mr. Robertson statecl the billiard hall and arcade would l�e located in t_he
e�ctrene northeast corner of the building, He submltted a drawing of this
proposed billiard hall, arcade, and snack Lar.
Mr. Robertson stated triere were basically two concerns, one be�_i�g the
parking and the other was possible misconduct by �uveniles and adults at
such a center. He stated the City has a deve7opment agreement with the
aai�er of the building where they would work out ttie parking as space is
leased, He stated 35 additional parking s�ces will be provided f or this
business bringing the total to 125 required parking spaces to date, He
stated these are presently 166 stal]s pr�rided, leavi_ng a balance ef 41
parking sp3ces.
Mr. Robertson stated the concern abaut misconduct was rzised by the Pelice
Department. He stated it was found billiard halls can be well �nayed such
as the one in Coon Rapids, C.R. Billiards, which has not e�erienced any
prablans.
Councilman Billings stated at the Plannina Cc�nission meeting, he briefly
discussed with the avner, Ms. Asproth, his plans for this business. He
stated the petztioner is going into this business with the best intentions
to make it attractive and not hecane a nuisance or problsn �or the City. He
, stated one area where the petitioner had a problen was the stipulation to
prwide two adults on staff during evening hours fran 6 p.rt, to closing.

I�;_ � ��i a� �� ui� �. • �: .�. : , • : :.
, Mr. Greg A,proth, the petitioner, stated the problem 1� has w�_th providing
two adults during evening hours is he is �ust start�ng a new business and
clichz't ]aiaa hocv �ny pers�ns woLtld �tronize his establisYmient. He £elt if
the need arises, he would surely provide two adults.
Councilman Billings asked Mr. Asproth if it was his inY_entlon to have at
least one adult present at all times,
NSr. Asproth stated either he or his wife would be there when the busines� is
c�pen. He felt Thursday, Friday and Saturday nicjhts would be the buslest.
Mr. Asproth stated they hoped to attract people from the U.S, Swim and
Fitness Centex, as well as softball plZyers af tcr their games. He state�
the lounge contains a seating area with tables and cr�,irs and snack bar and
they would se11 such items as popcorn, hot dogs, beverages, etc.
Councilman Billings stated he understares the reason for limiting the
seatir_g is ta prevent any loitering. He stated Mr. Asprtoh, as he
ur,derstands, didn't plan to open this business until April and staif is
requesting this special use permit be revi�cved in June. He felt 1t the time
of reviEw, if all is proceeding well, the stipulation limiting seating could
be r�evaluated, Mr, Asproth stated he �,lunned to have three t-�b1es with
eight chairs each and the Planning Conunission recommended the seating be
restrictecl to 20,
� Councilman Billings stated he felt the peak_ hours �f operation of the
billiards is complimentaxy to the hours the other businesess in this
building operate, He stated he didn't feel this �titioner shoulcl be
penalized by what is happemng with the �rking for the ad�acert bliilding.
He stated the �rking isn't adquate for U.S. S�im and r�_tness and they are
constantly advertising for new mrnibers.
Councilman Billings stated he would be pre�r_ed to gr�nt tYizs s�ecial use
peiznit with a change in stipulation No. 6 that the bus�ness wtll provide
adequate anult staff at all times with at least two adults on staif from 6
p.m. to closing on Fric7ays and Saturdays.
Councilman Schneider stated all parking s�ces are filled at ti.S. Seaim and
Fitness and asked if staff was confident tl-ie �:�rkir�q situation can be
mar�agen. He felt with this business, it c��ould prcbably add to the parking
problan.
Mr. Robertson stated it is hzs understar.ding when the parking was
considered, the most intensive use was anticipated in the evening houra when
other businesses in the building are not open, He stated the crwner of the
building aclmcwledges this may be in error and is the reason f or reviewing
this permit in June.
Councilman Schneider stated if U.S. Svim and Fitness assumes they can use
parking which is allocated for this business, there could be a real prciblen.
1 Mr. Et.abertson stated L1. S. Staim and Fitness can only use one -raw of the
business center �rking after 5 p.m.

as U.S. Swim anci Fitness,
Ms. Sarah Harder, Leasing Agent for Rice Creek Eusir!ess Center, stated only
a fea of these businesses arP open several nights a week and on wee]cends.
She stated even if U.S. SWim and Fitness used 50 to 100 stalls, that would
leave approximaely 60 sta],ls for this operztion. She stated it isn't that
far to walk fran one enc3 of the building to the other. Ms. �Iarder stated
most of Ms, Asproth's business would be in the euening hours when the other
tenants are closeci.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated Mx. Asproth's lease should prcd�ably plzce
