He did not object to the addition of Condition#8. AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holden moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to add Condition#8 stating: The two temporary classrooms located on the Phase II site will be removed from the campus prior to the issuance of a building permit for Phase IL Councilmember Werner questioned the age of the temporary classroom buildings. City Planner Beekman stated the classrooms were placed on the campus in 2004. AMENDMENT VOTE: The motion carried (3-2) (Tamble and Werner opposed). Mayor Grant asked if the proposed construction fit into the recent planning process that was undertaken by Bethel University. He questioned if Bethel had any other large construction projects planned for the near future. Mr. Trainer stated the proposed construction was the foundation of this planning process.

Planning Case 12-008—Cub Foods PUD Amendment City Planner Beekman stated SuperValu was requesting an amendment to the PUD that would allow for a drive-up window for the pharmacy inside the building. The drive-up window would be located on the south side of the building and would require minor modifications to the existing parking lot. As part of the application, SuperValu was also requesting an amendment to the signage plan for the building. The applicant is proposing to replace the current pharmacy sign on the front of the building with one that would indicate the presence of the drive-up. The proposal includes a request to add an additional sign over the drive-up window on the south side of the building. Staff feels the additional signs were excessive and that adequate signage can be accommodated within the sign allotment on the building. City Planner Beekman reviewed the submitted site plan noting the planned revisions to the exterior of the building and discussed the elevations depicting the sign adjustments being requested. The Planning Commission reviewed Planning Case 12-008 on May 9, 2012, and
