Table <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes reported this Planning Case was a little confusing because it wasn’t <br />clear what the Council was approving. She believed the applicant should make it clear what was <br />being approved with this case. <br /> <br />Jay Pomeroy, Landscape Architect with Anderson Johnson Associates, thanked the Council for <br />its consideration. He reported the proposal before the Council was for a nine lane running track, a <br />synthetic football field within the track, a practice field adjacent to the track and the four light <br />poles, flag poles, scoreboard, plazas, and fencing. He stated the items that were not included was <br />any work on the bleachers or the press box. He explained the plans submitted by Bethel <br />University were rather lengthy and addressed the details of the project. <br />
