Motion carried unanimously. (6-0) CASE #88-22; SITE Planner Bergly explained this matter was continued from PLAN REVIEW & VAR. the July 6 Planning meeting to allow the Board of Review FOR PARKING LOT, the opportunity to review the requested variance for BETHEL COLLEGE surfacing material. Bergly referred Commission to the Board of Appeals minutes of 7-21-88 recommending approval of the variance conditioned upon the aggregate surface • being replaced with bituminous surface within one year. The Planner advised Bethel proposes to construct a 76 space, Class I aggregate surface, parking lot in the east-central area of the campus adjacent to other parking lots. He stated the Campus Master Plan had shown two parking lots in the southeast area which will very likely not be built; the current proposal will essentially replace one of those lots. Bergly stated the drainage swale between the existing parking lot and the proposed lots was inspected by RCWD with the conclusion it has suffered from erosion damage. Commission was referred to a letter dated 7-14-88 from RCWD clarifying the Watershed District's position regarding the proposed overflow parking lot and the existing gully. Bergly suggested a recommendation for approval be continent upon applicant receipt of a permit from RCWD for the proposed stormwater drainage plan including repair of the eroded ditch adjacent to the parking lot. Planner Bergly also advised that the parking lot material must be approved by the Village Engineer. Bergly referred Commission to Page 2 of his report which outlines the conditions he suggests be attached to a recommendation for approval. Commission questioned the Planner's recommendation to delete one of the parking lots shown in the southeast area of the Campus Master Plan. • Bergly stated the Master Plan was approved by Special Use Permit; an amendment to the SUP would be required to add an additional parking lot. The applicant has chosen instead to delete one of the lots shown on the Master Plan. There was discussion relative to which parking lot would be deleted from the Master Plan.
