Overview of Request: <br /> Bethel University is proposing to construct a 52,448 square foot wellness center over two <br /> phases. The wellness center would be an addition to the north side of the Robertson Physical <br /> Education Center and the Hagstrom Student Center, in the same general location as the <br /> existing temporary classrooms (Attachment A). The footprint of the addition would be <br /> 13,112 square feet and would consist of four floors, with the first floor being located below <br /> grade. The average height of the addition would be 39 feet, six inches. The height of the <br /> addition would be comparable to the height of the buildings to which it is attached. <br /> Bethel University operates under a CUP Master Plan. As the College comes forward with <br /> plans, they are reviewed against the Master Plan for consistency. While building plans <br /> consistent with the Master Plan require a site plan review, those not included in the original <br /> plan must be approved through a CUP Amendment. The Master Plan includes a future <br /> fitness center, which is shown as an addition to the existing sports and recreation complex on <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> Planning Commission Meeting for May 9, 2012 <br /> P:IPlanninglPlanning Cases12012112-006-Bethel University-CUP Amendment(Pending)105-09-15-PC Report-Bethel CUP Amendment.doc <br /> Page 1 of 9 <br />
