Fast Eddie's Neighborhood Billiards & Saloon Fast Eddie's Neighborhood Billiards & Saloon is one of the premier billiard operations in the state of Texas. It caters to all demographics and socio-economic sections of the economy by providing ideal playing conditions for the sport of billiards. The proposed site in Beaumont, Texas will have over thirty-two custom made, solid wood tables. These tables are fit with Olhausen Billiards patented Acu-Fast rails, ornate carved legs, and fitted with premium cloth, cues and ancillary equipment. Each table is spaced so that there is limited interference from neighboring tables. The serving bar is hand -cut oak with a ceramic the counter providing an elegant, comfortable area for mingling with friends. There will be a number of television monitors for viewing the big game as well as a section dedicated to those who enjoy darts. Our staff is all fitted in tuxedo shirts, pants and ties complimenting our professional customer oriented image. The site at 6410 Phelan Street, in the Colonnade Shopping Center has a wide field of well -lit parking spaces. Fast Eddie's will be a true alternate user of the parking field as its peak hours are after the majority of the businesses in the center have ended their business day. Fast Eddie's location in the center also sits on the end -cap of the strip offering excellent visibility from the street. t I so) 100314M F., I Applicant's answers to the questions required under section 30-26.13 of the Beaumont Zoning Ordinance. 6420 Inc. is applying for a specific use permit in the city of Beaumont for a billiard hall and upscale bar to be located at the end cap of the shopping center known as "The Colonnade" at 6420 Phelan. 6420 Inc. will be doing business as Fast Eddie's Neighborhood Billiards & Saloon. Billiards is one of the world's fastest growing sports and is the primary focus of Fast Eddie's Neighborhood Billiards & Saloon. We attempt to break the misconception most consumers have about a billiard hall, that of being 4 dirty, smoke filled room, with hustlers lurking in the shadows to prey on some novice, by providing a clean, elegant place to enjoy the sport. Fast Eddie's fits right in with the Colonnade shopping center by complimenting the existing entertainment facilities that are already there. This is an already an existing strip center with adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other supporting facilities. Furthermore, since it is an existing strip center all of the driveways, parking allocations, pedestrian traffic, directional lighting and landscaping issues have already been addressed prior to our specific use permit and would therefore not impede the development of neighboring property. Finally, the specific use is in accordance with the comprehensive plan.
