Council asked if the two portable classrooms. which were approved for a 5 year period commencing in 1989. will be removed because of this additional space. Paul Donally, representative from District #621. stated that the portable classrooms would be retained for at least the five year period; at that time the school district will evaluate if they should request an extension on the SUP or remove the portable classrooms. Councilmember Hansen commented that the school district should make a determination at this time for the necessity of additional space to replace the portable classrooms. since they are in the process of upgrading several schools.

Hansen moved, seconded by Woodburn, that Council approve Case No. 87-03, Special Use Permit Application for four additional classrooms at Valentine Hills Elementary School, by School District #621, contingent upon the applicant obtaining Council approval for the screening of the rooftop ventilation units as per the Zoning Code, if the plans for the addition include rooftop units.
