The recreation .center operation would consist of billiard tables, foosball tables and electronic and pinball games according to a plan submitted by the applicant. A copy of two letters received from the applicant are attached for your review. A public hearing has been scheduled. The primary concern is proper management. Past and present experience in the City has demonstrated the "problem" frequency to be directly related to the quality of management -- personnel and policies.. Conditions of approval would include: 1 . The special use permit is issued to the applicant as operator, and is non-transferable. • 2. The use is subject to all applicable ordinances and regulations, including special licensing requirements and violation thereof shall be grounds for revocation of the permit. 3.

I have thoroughly investigated the recreation establishments in the Twin Cities as they exist today. The facts are that the successful locations are found in pleasant suburban communities, not in the inner city. Also, the most successful locations are not on large thoroughfares where walk—in traffic is more common • and an arcade—type atmosphere is evident. The side street location that I have proposed limits the clientele to Billiard and Foosball players that are dedicated enough to their respec- tive game that they are willing to drive some distance in order to play at a deluxe facility. The recreation side of the pro- posed business is, with no qualifications,. an ideal way to promote billiard and foosball table sales but the retail portion will be the life of the system. In fact, I foresee a time when the retail and supply business will have a large enough reputa- tion of its own that I can sell the location tables on the used market and utilize the space for additional showroom area for an even larger line of home entertainment devices, effectively and completely phasing out the recreation center. The recreation area will, as I described in my first letter to you, be furnished and managed in such a deluxe motif that any questionable clientele will certainly feel and be out of place. The location tables will consist of four to six regulation—sized Brunswick pocket billiard tables and from six to eight regulation style Tournament Soccer professional foosball tables; the same as are used on the nation—wide, $500,000 tour. Both brands are the most respected in their industry. All tables will have individual hanging lights, which will add to a pleasing atmosphere. • Page 2 • The area will be carpeted and the walls paneled part of the way up with the remainder of the walls texure sprayed. I am seriously considering an absolute no-smoking policy. This may discourage a few perspective players, but it would, for the most part, help establish the strict setting I want. I fully understand that the success of the location, basically, depends on the managerial style. I am quite determined to manage in a way that will be pleasing to your community. I plan on devoting myself completely to the business at hand and will be on location most of its operating hours. I am an ambitious and determined person and will live up to my .proposals. In fact, in the past two years I have sold about one hundred foosball tables including about 46' tables from my home during the five weeks before Christmas this year. The home entertainment and recreation market is a growing one bedause of the increasing amounts of leisure time on peoples hands these days. Please consider this letter a paxt of a sincere and continuing effort to successfully, establish myself in this business. Enclosed is a floor plan showing the approximate use of floor space. Additional information will be available at your request. Thank you for your considerations. Sincerely Roger L. Lange Jr. lw Enclosure • I' • • ', i i � II i I I I • 3918` Restwood Road #3 New Brighton, MN 55112 January 25, 1977 Mr. Blair Tremere, Planning Commissioner City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 6301 Shingle Creek Pkwy. Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 Dear Sir: The enclosed letter is a synopsis of my proposed format for Brooklyn Center Billiards. Additional details are avail- able on request. Brooklyn Center Billiards will be a business that will, in the long run, make most of its profits by selling home recreation equipment and supplies to the public. Among others, the games that it will specialize in are pocket billiards, foosball trampolines, new and reconditioned flipper machines (pinball, shuffleboard tables, ping pong and combination game tables. Parts, service, and custom supplies such as cues will be available, also. The success of Brooklyn Center Billiards is practically guaranteed by the nature of the billiards supply business as it exists in the Twin Cities' metro area, today. The signif- icant existing billiard suppliers are located in South hiinneapolis, Excelsior, Wayzata and in St. Paul. Brooklyn Center Billiards closest competitor is located in Plymouth. These facts high- light the desirability of a location on the North side of the cities. Brooklyn Center Billiards will also be a billiards location or "recreation center" as defined by ,yourself. The idea is that sales will be promoted through the exposure gained by the traffic that visits and plays the game tables�on location. As owner and manager I fully realize that recreation centers can be acceptable or non—acceptable by the community and that this is basically determined by the style of management. Since a staple and possibly lucrative retail business is at stake, I personally guarantee a working relationship with the community and the highest quality management. i • I I l Page 2 Please accept this letter in good faith and recognize my sincerity in my efforts to create a business that will be beneficial to everyone involved. Also, I will personally appreciate all efforts on your part in relaying my ideas and attitudes to the Planning Commission and City Council. Sincerely, Roger L.
