ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—NOVEMBER 25, 2013 13 space should be allowed to be used for classrooms and the remainder of the space should be slated for office and administrative space. AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a motion to allow for only 16,000 square feet of classroom space in the existing office building located at 2 Pine Tree Drive. Kathleen Nelson, Senior Vice President for Finance at Bethel University, discussed the phasing chart with the Council stating that there are likely maximum uses for the building. It is her desire to have the flexibility to determine what works best in the building after a campus master plan is completed by Bethel University. She explained that the traffic consultant reported classroom uses will generate less traffic than office or administrative space. Mayor Grant questioned how much space will be used for classroom space. Ms. Nelson reviewed Attachment I, Bethel's Maximum Capacity Scenario, stating that 19,000 square feet will be used for classroom space. However, the mix of academic space is still yet to be determined. This matter will be further resolved by the campus master plan. Councilmember Holden expressed concern that Bethel does not have a master plan in place for this location. For this reason, she wants to see the classroom square footage capped. Councilmember Werner stated that 16,000 square feet of space is only 7% of the building. He is in favor of allowing Bethel University to have some level of flexibility with regard to how the building will be used. Councilmember Holmes agreed stating that she did not support the proposed amendment. She does not feel it is fair to limit Bethel University to only be able to use 7% of the Pine Tree building for classroom space. Councilmember McClung expressed concern with how the proposed conditional use permit will impact the community. He supported limiting the classroom space and noted that the proposed amendment was in alignment with Bethel's Scenario 1. He indicated that Bethel University could always request an amendment to the conditional use permit. Mayor Grant asked if the conditional use permit for Bethel University could be expanded and/or amended. He requested comment from the City Attorney on this matter. City Attorney Jamnik explained that the current space is zoned for office space and the proposed conditional use permit would allow for a higher education use in the entire building. He indicated that the property owner could request a conditional use permit amendment if additional classroom space is required beyond the proposed 16,000 square feet. Mayor Grant commented that the proposed CUP does leave the space open ended.
