<br />LAVA UNKS <br />PURE GOLF, INC. <br /> <br />September 16, 1993 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Mayor and Roseville Council Members: <br /> <br />Lava links is an indoor family entertainment center. It is a business that needs continual <br />changes in order to keep the interest of our customers. Our Hawaiian themed putting <br />course is our featured attraction, and we propose to add additional games and an expanded <br />food area. The additional games should make our park more of a destination amusement <br />center as well as a short stop for movie-goers. We have established a strong family clientele <br />and we intend to keep it that way. There is adequate existing parking to handle the <br />increased business. <br /> <br />After nearly two complete years of operating our indoor amusement park, we are seeking <br />your approval to make needed changes. Our putting course continues to do well, however, <br />not well enough to carry the 2400 square feet of basement area previously used as a driving <br />range and golf simulators area. We propose to add 20 video games, 18 skill games, 3 small <br />children rides, 8 pool tables, foosball, darts and air hockey. In addition, we would like to <br />expand our snack bar area to provide more seating and with additional food options. To <br />accomplish this we will need to deck over the 2400 square foot lower area and add the <br />adjacent 1700 square feet. These two changes will require approximately $95,000 in <br />construction costs and $175,000 in game purchases. We also intend to upgrade our golf <br />course with a few needed changes. <br /> <br />We anticipate adding one additional full-time employee as well as additional part-time <br />employees. There have been no previous customer incidents in our store requiring police <br />assistance or reports and these changes should have no new adverse effects. Should the <br />situation begin to change we will add whatever additional security it takes to keep Lava <br />links safe for our staff and customers. Our operational hours will not change (10:00 am to <br />10: pm Sunday through Thursday, and 10:00 am to 11:00 pm Friday through Saturday). <br /> <br />Attached to this letter you will find a variety of information including floor plans, games and <br />locations, sales '92 - '93 actuals and '93 - '94 projections, police and city comments/ <br />recommendations and other information which we hope you will find useful. Note that we <br />are also expanding our private party space in order to better attract birthday parties, <br />anniversary parties, school team parties, YMCA or church parties or gatherings as well as <br />business parties. <br /> <br />Please carefully consider this request as needed changes to allow us to continue our <br />business. Do not mistakenly compare our award-winning park with poorly run and/or <br />improperly supervised arcade centers or game rooms found in other areas. Our goal is to <br /> <br />Crossroads SboppiDg Center, 1655 W. County Road B-2 <br />RoseYUIe, MN 55113, Tel: 612-628-9956 <br /> <br />(M [,33r331v <br />
