build a floor over the lower 2,400 sq. ft. to provide two levels. The upper level is at the same elevation as the putting course and would become an amusement area offering a variety of skill and arcade games. The lower level would be developed into a private party space. In addition, Lava Links is proposing to add 1,700 sq. ft. of space immediately adjacent to the west side of their store. They are proposing to develop this area into an upscale parlor game room offering air hockey, foosball, pool tables, darts, and additional private party opportunities.

Most notably is the requirement that a game room be at least 1500 feet from any residence, school building, or park.

This information indicates teat the threshold of more than 50% of gross receipts derived from amuo.CO=uent devices will not be exceeded.
