regards to the principals involved in the request and to allow
time for the applicant to successfully open other theaters as

The Planning and Zoning commission on 11/1/88, by unanimous vote,
recommended that proposed Ordinance No. 1803 approving a specific
use permit for an indoor theater at 2825 Valley View Lane be
adopted.
The City Staff recommends this item be denied without prejudice
because the representations concerning signed contracts and
theaters openings made to the City Council have not been
completely fulfilled by the applicant and failure of the applicant
to demonstrate as evidenced by the chronology of events, corporate
stability upon which the City Council can rely and base a sound
decision.
Mayor Blair recognized Mr. Dennis White. Mr. White stated he
was the owner of the property at 2825 Valley View Lane and
would like to see the request be approved to allow the indoor
theater. Mr. White stated he was present to assist in
answering questions on the request.

ORDINANCE 761 RELATING TO INOPERABLE VEHICLES AND TAKE
APPROPRIATE ACTION.
Mayor Blair recognized Mr. Rick Lewis of 2968 Eric Lane who
had requested that this item be placed on the agenda to discuss

inoperable vehicle.

regarding a vehicle with expired license plates at the address
of Mr. Lewis and the inspectors went out and investigated the
complaint and found a green military-type vehicle with expired
Vol. 55, Page 294
license plates and inspection sticker. This is in violation
of Ordinance No. 761. A letter was then sent to Mr. Lewis
listing these violations.
Mr. Lewis stated that the statement of inoperable was
inaccurate because he was letting the vehicle stay on his
premises without using it. It was used at one time in his
construction business. Mr. Lewis stated he did not want to
spend the money to license and sticker it because he was not
using it at this time but it was still operable and was not
hazardous in any way.
Mr. Lewis stated that he believes the ordinance violates his
property rights and he should be able to maintain what goes on
and stays on his property.
Mayor Blair explained the provisions that is set out in
Ordinance No. 761 as well as having to be licensed, it also
requires that inoperable vehicles should be screened from the
street. Mayor Blair stated that there also was a time limit
provision to get in compliance with the ordinance.
