ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION September 8, 1993 Page# 5 video skill games at the Crossroads Shopping Center, 1655 W. County Road B-2. Presentation Falk highlighted the application and the discussions that occurred at the last Planning Commission meeting. Peter Nasvik, part-owner of Lava Links, explained the need for additional revenue. He indicated that they do not want to create a hangout that will cause trouble for the center but rather a family oriented operation. He also added that they would provide another full-time employee to monitor the facility along with the present security that exists in the center now. Bob Pounds, representing Welsh Companies, indicated that there is security for the center starting at 10:00 a.m. to 1/2 hour after closing. Security mostly monitors activity in the mall area. He also indicated that there have been no police reports for Lava Links to date. Issues discussed included traffic, clientele using the facility, hours of operation, Fire Marshal concerns relating to the lower level party room, length of time people will use the facility, security, whether the amusement establishment would meet the thresholds for a game room, complaints at the center (snow removal, sweeping, deliveries, etc.), and the possibility of an interim use permit rather than a special use permit for this proposal. Citizens George Lindgren, 1728 Oakcrest Ave., explained he is worried about loitering, what happens outside of the center after hours, and when the expansion of the games at Lava Links will stop. He added that kids are climbing the fence behind the center, cutting holes in the fence, and littering around the fence and the center. He indicated the need for outside security at the site. He also explained that an ordinance was passed last year addressing this issue and expressed his desire that the City stay with that decision. Wietecki closed the public hearing. MOTION
