Minutes Planning Commission 3/2/587 George Pereira, 5591 San Juan Way, said that at the present time they in are in the process of considering whether or not to continue the security system they have employed because of lack of enforcement of loitering laws. Commissioner Innes asked if this impact has had a negative effect on the businesses and if so the dollar loss should be taken into consideration when the conditional use permit for the Game Station is considered for renewal. Bill McClenda, Willowren Lane, an employee of the Game Station (not a representative), felt closing the Game Station is not the answer. There needs to be enforcement of the loitering and parking laws. Mr. McClenda said most of the kids are nice even though one may not think so from their appearance. Chris Kuntz, 2515 Skimmer Court, an employee of the Game Station, said some kinds play the pinball machines and other play the electronic games, and closing of the Game Station would not eliminate all of the problems. Stephen Rutledge, stated there is loitering also around Perry's Liquors and Jack in the Box. Commissioner Innes asked if the parking could be posted for 15 minutes. Mr. Rutledge said the cars would just be moved and relocated. Commissioner Michelotti and Mr. McClenda what the age group of the patrons of the Game Station is. Mr. McClenda said the ages range from 14 to 23 with an average of probably 16-17. Chairman Lindsey asked if loitering effected the Game Station.
