Complaints ensued after the theatre (Continued) �pening causing a special public hearing to he held May 24 , 1977 and thereafter, a special Council , meeting held tlay 26 , 1977 where Resolution #�790 ��as adopted. An additional public hearing was held on June 13, 1977, when Resolution #790 �aas extended. A third public hearing was held October 24 , 1977 at the close of the season. Throughout these meetings many of the same complaints were heard regarding control of patrons and control of access. At the last meeting, the theatre owners indicated a possible change in land use to a residential development. No specific action was directed at that time due to the possibility of the theatre not reonening. Since last fall, the City staff has had no further� contact from the property owners regarding any change in the land use. The theatre license application would tend to indicate that the other plans have been set aside. If the theatre is _to be relicensed, the lists of previous requirer.►ents speak for themselves. The one physical requirement that has never been met is that of fencing the perir:leter for control both during the shows and when the area is closed. Documents in the record show that the Citv has been requesting a fence since at least 1970. The Council may wish to hold a public hearing, to issue the license for a temporary tir.ie to thereafter review the operation, or to withhold issuance until any -required conditions riight be accomplished. " �ierlo fron Poli ce Chie� .*iel Kil�o to Dick Benson, City Administrator, dated Februarv 16, 1978 , states: "If the Plavarre Drive-In Theatre is to be relicensed, the previous conditions set out in Resolution #790 should be continued. We had problems with access into the area from Northern Avenue and parking problems along Northern Avenue. The manager.ient was cooperative and it is certainly apparent that uniformed personnel and field men are needed to control patrons. The problem still existing, therefore, is fencing. The mini-bike probler.l during the day hours and unauthorized entry (which caused parking and other problems) can only be controlled by an adequate fence. " (Continued)
