B. Audience Particioation A3.6.4.1 Mayor Roegner encouraged those citizens wishing to comment upon items appearing in tonight's agenda, or to update the Council on anything occurring within the community. William Morchin - 1345 East Main, Auburn, W A Mr. Morchin expressed concern with regard to the Conditional Use Permit approved to allow 40 mechanical amusement devices as part of the "Auburn Family Sports Center" to be located at 340 East Main Street. His concern centered around the intent of the Conditional Use Permit as it pertains to the type of the mechanical amusement devices. He said the current operator of the facility intents to have mechanical machines such as coin operated pinball or basketball devices, and not video games. Mr. Morchin questioned if the current definition of mechanical devices excluded videos, and if the Conditional Use Permit is transferable. Mr. Morchin concluded his comments by thanking Mayor Roegner for his letter with regard to the budget. He stated additional questions have been faxed with regard to the Downtown Design Plan. Planning Director Steve Lancaster clarified the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) transfers with new ownership, and the definition of mechanical amusement devices includes videos. He said the Council could change the definition of mechanical amusement devices, but it would probably not effect Auburn Family Sport Center because the definition at the time of the CUP approval adoption would apply future definitions. Paul Nessel - Lake Tapps, Washington Paul Nessel, resident of the Lake Tapps area, stated that even though he and many others live in the Lake Tapps area, a variety of business and personal services and activities are enjoyed in Auburn. Mr. Nessel's discussion centered around traditional resource enhancements a city provides by reaching to other communities, and working as a community without faction. He encouraged the Council to take advantage of its community resources. C. Corresoondence A3.23.1 HAP0002-91, HAP0003-91 1.
