ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION –October 9, 201313 Woodburn also expressed concern with Bethel’s future on the Pine Tree site and if additional buildings would be constructed. Pauline Richards, 3544 Glen Arden Road, stated she lived one block from Snelling Avenue and County Road E. She found this intersection to be dangerous and thought the proposed use on the Pine Tree property would further aggravate the traffic in this area. There being no additional comment Chair Larson closed the public hearing at 8:35p.m. Commissioner Holewa asked if Condition 5 needed to be amended prior to approval this evening. Chair Larson thought it would be reasonable for the Commission to amend this condition. Commissioner Zimmerman agreed that Condition 5 should be amended to read “traditional undergraduate programs”. Commissioner Hames suggested traditional programs not be allowed on the Pine Tree campus until the shuttle service was available. Ms. Nelson explained adult classes would be offered at the Pine Tree site in Phase I. She reported a shuttle service would not be in place until Phase II of the project when traditional student programs were located on the Pine Tree campus. She estimated that Phase II of Bethel’s plans would not begin until 2014 or 2015. Commissioner Zimmerman questioned how Condition 5 should read. Ms. Nelson suggested this condition read that no traditional undergraduate programs shall be implemented on this site until a shuttle service is implemented between the main campus and Pine Tree campus. The Commission agreed to this language and directed staff to amend Condition 5.
