UNANIMOUSLY
Mr. Hitchcock asked why the applicant was only asking
for 4 additional video machines. Does this limit them
to four machines? Are they requesting a permit to
operate as an arcade? Mr. Dugan advised that by defini-
tion, the four additional machines would mean the
establishment was an arcade. Mr. Bereiter further
explained that the City still has control over the
number of machines on the premises. The applicant would
need to reapply if he wanted to add more machines in the
future.
MOTION by Mrs. Wisner to approve the Conditional Use

32-82. SECOND by Mr. Hitchcock. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY
Mr. Kurle asked if Item 4 of Conditions had been
approved. Mr. Nevins said this would not occur until
the exact plans for construction had been submitted.
Mr. Craig asked why it was necessary to rezone to R-4.
Mr. Dugan stated that evaluation by the Planning staff
indicated that a change to R-4 would be more compatible
with adjacent zoning and that the proposed population
density was conducive to R-4 zoning.
Mr. Craig asked if it was neccessary to have a
Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Dugan stated that an R-4
does not lend to a nursing home use and therefore it is
necessary to have a conditional use permit for this spe-
cial use.
Mr. Craig expressed a concern for adequate off-street
parking. Mr. Dugan stated that provision for adequate
off-street parking was automatically a requirement of
this type of use, i.e a nursing home.
Further discussion established the nursing home would
increase from 33 beds to 96. The existing building is
to be torn down and replaced with a new one. The
building will be set back from the property line.
