Kinutes of Regular Council Keeting June 8, 1981 Barry Warner (Barton Aschaan Associates) described the basis of the study and the concerns involved to accoamodate the aulti-uses in the south campus, and retain the natural festures - existing vega- tation, wetlands, slopes, etc. Architect Dick Cottle showed a rendering of the proposed field house which will be earth-sheltered on the esst (high side) function- ing as a transition between the two plateaus (about a 20' grsde dange). The 50,000 sq. ft. bUildin~l?~l~ccomaodate five tennis courts, four racke t b all courts, a " track, 10cke r and chang- ing rooas, ticket rooa; also will be use for physical ed classes. The building ie proposed to be constructed in two phases and will . be of "Bethel brick" faced aasonry walls, steel joints and insul- ated aetal panels in earth tones. Shelley Johnson, Traffic Engineer (Barton Aschaan Assoc.) described the roadway plans as adequate with the two existing access points; an access north of the lake is not considered advisable, at least not at this tiae. In review of parking needs, Johnson said that 871 spaces exist; estiaates sn sdditional 120 spaces will be needed; proposes an additional 170 spaces in the south campus; noted thst the existing parking areas could provide several aore spaces by reducing the space widths (are now 9 ft. wide). Lissner explained the order of construction priority: ~ library/non-library additions - fall of 1981 1st phase, field house - 1982 grading of fields - 83/84 bleachers, etc. - 8'/85 auditoriua - '85 acience/fine arts/pool - no schedule to date. In review of the up-dated p1ens, Lissner noted that the location of the. "Scall.dia Church" is not accurately shown. Lissner said the existing house (Highway 51, north of Soo Line) is proposed to event~~lly accoa.odete aaintenance facility which ie now in the baseaeat of an acadeaic coaplex building. . Lissner explained that the proposed grading consists of flattening the plateaus and will not appreciably affect the rate of run-off; wetland drainage froa the parking lot is to the west and south; froa the football field is to the northeast and southwest. Lissner said the footbel1 field is a wetland area; it is unknown at thia ~ae how auch fill will be needed to construct the field; propose to place an excese of soil on the site for a year or so to deter- mine the needed a~ount. Council referred Lissner to a letter froa Soo Line requesting a fence along the Soo Line r-o-w. Barry Warner said the southeest portion of the site is the only area where there is not a signi- fican t grade change. In discussion regarding traffic impsct on Old Highway 10 during football gaaea, Shelly Johnson said the road is signed "No Parking"; propose to enhance the existing plant aaCerials between the road and the field; sight line will be very miniaa1; view of field for south-bound traffic will be addressed by adding plant aaterial. . In answer to inquiry regarding fire equipment access to the field house, Lissner said they have not discussed this with the Fire Chief; there is ad~quate space available for the required access. Wingert moved, secon~ed by Johnson, that Council approve the Amended Haster CampUS Plan and Aaend.ent of the Special Use Permit for Bethel Campus, Case No. 78-5, not including any grading, architect- ural or drainage plans. Hotion carried unanimously. -6-
