Board greenlights special‑use process for 80‑station gaming and billiards space at Arlington Town Square
Loading...
Summary
The Village Board directed staff to prepare final documents for a special‑use permit for a proposed 6,591‑sq‑ft amusement facility ('Beach House') at 81 W. Golf Road, featuring 80 computers and four billiard tables; plan commission recommended approval with conditions including building and life safety reviews and no alcohol sales without a liquor license.
An applicant representing "Beach House" asked the board for a special‑use permit to operate a large amusement facility in Arlington Town Square that would include an 80‑station computer gaming area and four billiard tables.
The petitioner, who identified herself as Grama, said the business would operate daily from noon to 11 p.m., require headphones at gaming stations to control sound and would not sell alcohol. Miss Rodman summarized Plan Commission recommendations and noted outstanding building and life‑safety permit issues that must be resolved before final approval.
Trustees asked about the facility’s target audience, security and whether minors would be permitted. The applicant said the venue would be 18‑plus for gaming stations and that staff and IT specialists would be responsible for security and content control; billiard play could include younger patrons under supervision.
The board voted to direct staff and the village attorney to prepare final documents for the special‑use permit subject to the commission’s recommended conditions. Final permit and building‑permit approvals remain required before opening.
