i Session 1310, Minutes Page 9 June 21, 1982 needed only if the ma,-or portion of the business was amusement machines, but after review, a careful Leading of the ordinance showed that site plan review was required even if there was only one machine. The original application (with four machines, the same number as the present application) did not require site plan review; how- ever, the ordinance's present interpretation requires site plan review;, Mr. Ollen- dorff said the application met all code requirements and he recommended approval, with the proviso that amusement machines be limited to four. Mr. Thomas, 6019 Waterman, was asked to come forward. Responding to questioning, Mr. Thomas said his primary, business was a newsstand, sealing magazines and out-of- town newspapers, He said he planned eventually to phase out the amusement machines but that they would act as kind of a buffer through the summer until the Washington University students returned to school and became clients for the magazines and newspapers, Mr. Levy said he had w-_s.ted the business; which was run as Mr, Thomas described, and he was very impressed with the business-like atmosphere. He said the business was an asset to the area and he would like to make it possible for it to continue without interruption, Mr. Schoomer, speaking generally rather than specifically to this case, said the use of video games or devices had been subject at times to extreme abuse, and he felt the most rigid of restrictions should be placed on any business where these machines are used, to pror_ec= the City and its residents. He suggested that the conditions include that the establishment be limited to four machines, that hours of operation by ',hose that have been suggested and that this be written into what- ever approval is granted. M--^s. Thompson moved approval, with those restrictions. Mr. Ollendo,_ff pointed out that a large number of restrictions are part of the or- dinance and ink.Iuded qualifications, hours of operation, etc. Mr. Kay briefly sum- marized the conditions. Mr. Thomas said he was willing to abide by the restrictions if other people in the community would abide by then also Mr. Ollendorff said a license could be granted only if the applicant agreed to all conditions in the ordinance; however, the site plan must be approved first, Mr. Levy seconded Mrs. Thompson's motion, which carried unanimously. SALARY CHANGES Mr. Adams moved that the saliries of the two direct employees of the City Council be adjusted as agreed to previously by the Council. Mrs. Metcalfe seconded the mo- tion, which carried unanimously.
