MOTION Berry motioned and Goedeke seconded that the proposal be denied based on neighborhood safety issues and potential harm to market value of adjacent properties. Roll Call: Ayes: Berry, Goedeke, Johnson Nayes: Roberts, Wietecki, Stokes Wietecki moved that proposal be approved with the condition that the security plan be reviewed every twelve months and that a study be done by the applicant comparing police calls at shopping malls with arcades versus those without arcades. Motion died for the lack of a second. Johnson said that they could forward the proposal without recommendation but that they have been admonished in the past for doing that. wietecki stated that the Council should look at the Comprehensive Plan and determine what kinds of amusement centers are wanted. Berry stated that the Commission should pass the proposal to the Council with the 3-3 vote. Johnson stated that the problem wasn't with the arcade it self, but what happens outside the mall due to its location there. Stokes questioned why Amusement Centers are required to get a Special Use Permit. Shardlow replied that the community feels that it needs to attach conditions to an amusement center based on special considerations. Shardlow stated that by denying the special use permit the Commission is deciding that no conditions can be placed upon this request that would make it acceptable.
