Tanner <br /> stated because the building does not house a functioning business currently,the rear of the building is <br /> somewhat in disrepair but that he does not have a problem making the improvements recommended by <br /> Staf£ <br /> Tanner illustrated the rear entrance on the overhead. <br /> Kempf noted Staff's report states there are three nonfunctioning wall mounted light fixtures. <br /> Tanner pointed out the three wall mounted fixtures. Tanner stated he is unsure wliether the fixtures <br /> would need to be removed from the building but that he was told each of the lights could be shut on and <br /> off at a switch. <br /> Turner stated to her understanding the fixtures do not meet the City's requirement for shaded lighting, <br /> and if they are non-functioning,they should be removed. <br /> Kempf stated it is his understanding one of the lights shines out onto the parking lot. <br /> Tanner illustrated the light fixture on the building and stated the lights are wired on a separate switch. <br /> Tanner indicated he is willing to comply with the direction of the City as it relates to the lighting and <br /> that he is in agreement with the rest of Staff's report. <br /> Chair Kempf opened the public hearing at 6:38 p.m. <br /> Sylvia Bertagnoli,2499 Kelly Avenue, stated she resides in the townhouse next door to the property and <br /> that her main concern is that the bowling alley complies with the hours of operation. In addition, <br /> Bertagnoli expressed a concern that the number of amusement devices may increase over time and <br /> requested the City monitor that situation periodically. Bertagnoli indicated she does not have a big <br /> concern with the lighting but that she would request the lighting not shine on her deck or residence. <br /> Bertagnoli stated she would also prefer not to have any tables or chairs in the smoking area. Bertagnoli <br /> stated in her opinion the stairs are unsafe. <br /> Turner noted the Planning Commission has the discretion to regulate the number of tables located <br /> within the smoking area. <br /> Kempf asked whether the stairs are dangerous because they collect ice and snow or because they are <br /> old. <br /> Bertagnoli stated they collect snow and ice and are also old with no railing. <br /> Sandy Lindgren,2501 Kelly Avenue, indicated she concurs with the comments of Syliva Bertagnoli. <br /> Lindgren asked how big the current signage is. <br /> PAGE 6 <br />
