<br /> Bethel College <br /> & Seminary Foundation <br /> 900 Bethel Drive <br /> 51. Paul, Minnesota 55112 <br /> Telephone: (612) 638-6235 <br /> .- <br /> August 5, 1987 <br /> Mayor Robert Woodburn <br /> Chairman Robert Curtis <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> 1450 West Highway 96 <br /> Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br /> Dear Mayor Woodburn and Mr. Curtis: <br /> This letter is meant to bring you up-to-date with our ongoing planning and <br /> schedule for the continuing development of the campus as provided for in the <br /> master plan. Two relatively small projects are being considered for the near <br /> future. <br /> First, in the interests of being able to store our grounds keeping equipment <br /> under roof and generally clean up the storage area in the southeast corner of <br /> the campus, we are planning to construct at least the first phase of the <br /> maintenance building as shown for that area, We may try to accomplish that as a <br /> late fall project, but more likely in the early spring of 1988. We have been in <br /> contact with Orlyn Miller to help to ensure that in our preliminary thinking we <br /> take into account as much as possible the effects on areas adjacent to that part <br /> of the campus. <br /> Secondly, the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference is requiring for all <br /> of its member schools that provision be made for a filming platform for approved <br /> football fields. Such facilities have indeed become normal, and we plan to <br /> include such a platform as a permanent part of the bleachers and pressbox <br /> facilities appurtenant to the permanent football field when that is constructed <br /> in its planned location. To satisfy the M.I.A.C. conditions for this year, <br /> however, we plan to simply rent an appropriate scaffold platform for the eight <br /> or nine weeks involved and have it erected on the back edge of the existing <br /> bleachers. <br /> We have been able to develop our planning a bit further with respect to the <br /> timing for the construction of Bethel's last major building, the Chapel- <br /> Auditorium facility. If fund raising and planning continue as scheduled, we <br /> will be ready to apply for the building permit in the spring of 1989 and begin <br /> construction that fall. We believe that this facility will be a great addition <br /> to the campu~ and an asset for the entire community. <br /> As always, let uS know if there are any questions or if there is any way in <br /> which we can be of service. <br /> - Sincerely, <br /> - <br /> David A. Lissner <br /> Vice President <br /> DAL:bjo <br />
