The Building Inspector has been on site and inspected the premise, I have been on site and have communicated the public safety concerns, that may arise based on the proposed usage which includes three (3) barber stations, three (3) video amusement games and one (1) coin operated pool table. • The proprietor of the establishment has or will be applying for the necessary permits. The Village Code Chapter 4, §4-2 A License Required; Application; number of devices restricted and §4-6 Minors, addresses most of the concerns that would arise out of this proposed usage. However, the village code does not permit video amusement devices in any premises other than a bar or tavern. Considering the Village's long term goals, it may want to revisit this local law, with the proper safeguards and limitation. The owner of the establishment will be approaching the board on this matter. I am certain that other establishments throughout the village other than the bars and taverns would like to comment as well. i �c^OC?
