MOTION CARRIED 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 Permit, Application 33-83, and instruct the City ' Attorney to prepare the necessary ordinance incor- porating the findings of fact.

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. -2- _ _ AUBURN COUNCIL MINUTES PAGE THREE JANUARY 3, 1983 II. A. Public Hearings 4.

Mr. Dugan stated that this would minimize potential conflict between the structure and land use or traffic such as a future need to widen the street.
