Motion carried unanimously. (9-0) Zehm questioned if the entire building will be constructed to house the three uses, Goodyear, Kennedy Transmission and the retail space. She also asked if the sign would have interior illumination. Carlson questioned which tenant would be represented on the reader board sign. Sikora advised the building would be constructed at one time to include all three uses. He stated the sign will have interior illumination and the reader board would be for use by all the tenants; it was his opinion Burger King would most likely be the predominant user of the reader board. Curtis moved, seconded by Zehm, that Commission recommend to Council approve of the Signage Plan submitted, Case #89-04, based on the fact the plan meets all applicable sign ordinance provisions. Motion carried unanimously. (9-0) CASE #89-05; TEMP. Planner Bergly reviewed his report of 5-3-89, relative to OFFICE BUILDING, the request from Bethel College to install a temporary BETHEL COLLEGE office building in the central area of the campus. Bergly stated a special use permit was granted for a campus Master Plan in 1981, with the stipulation that development proposals that are consistent with the approved Master Plan will require only site plan approval. He noted the proposed • temporary building was not shown on the long-range plan, however, it does not violate the terms of the special use permit. Bergly explained the zoning ordinance authorizes the Zoning Administrator to waive the public hearing if the proposed changes are deemed to be insignificant; the Planner did not view the proposal as a violation of the Master Plan since it is of a temporary nature. The Planner outlined the considerations listed in his report: -The temporary building will be used by the Adult Degree Completion Program as office space until the new Community Life Center building is completed. The proposed building is expected to be on the site throughout the construction of the first stage of the C.L.C. and possibly into the second stage (fall of 1994) . -The proposed building is located in the central area of the campus, north of the Academic Center building. In the location proposed it will be screened from view, except for nearby foot traffic and some windows in the two adjacent buildings. A short sidewalk will connect the building to the existing sidewalk system. -The building is considered a "manufactured home" by building code definitions and contains a total of 810 sq. ft. -The exterior will be painted to match the "townhouse" structures immediately to the northeast of the proposed building. -The interior will be remodeled to accommodate four offices, a reception area, a storage room and a small mechanical room, as shown on the floor plan. Bergly explained if approval is granted the temporary building will be removed in October 1994, unless an extension is granted by the City. • Craig Hjelle, representing Bethel College, was present to answer any questions.
