Minutes of Regular Council Meeting Monday, September 10, 1984 Page Four Dave Lissner (Bethel College & Seminary) and Dick Cottle (Cottle Architects Inc.) were present to answer questions. Miller reported that the Planning Commission recommends Council approval of the proposed dormitory as per plans submitted (received 8/23/84). Rauenhorst moved, seconded by Mulcahy, that Council approves the Site Plan for dormitory building #3 in accordance with plans submitted. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) Case No. 84-26, Temporary Classrooms at Valentine Hills Elementary School Council was referred to a transparency indicating the location of the temporary building, proposed to house 2 classrooms at Valentine ~ Hills School, and to a brochure (Design Space International) which pictures several types of modular buildings available. Miller explained that the addition of the temporary classrooms has been declared "insignificant" by Zoning Administrator Zehm, because of the reasons in her memo of 8/30/84; noted that if Council concurs, site plan only is required at this time. Miller reported that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the temporary classrooms for 5 years, with no extension on time period. John Ostlund (Mounds View School District) explained that the lease space is considered affordable, cost of building is prohibitive. Hicks asked if the reason for the additional classrooms is to reduce class size. Answer was yes, and to provide for special classes; noted that the need may go beyond 5 years. Rauenhorst moved, seconded by Hicks, that Council approve the single structure, as proposed, for five years, subject to land- scaping as stipulated by Planner Miller. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) Case No. 83-13, McClung 3rd Addition - Final Plat Approval Miller reported that the Final Plat of McClung Third Addition, except for minor dimensional adjustments, is identical to the pre~ 1iminary plat; reported that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the Final Plat contingent upon:. 1. Approval of Royal Hills North Final Plat, 2. Resolution of park dedication, and recognizing minor width variances - Lot 4, Block 1 and Lot 8, Block 2, and minor depth variance - Lot 8, Block 2. Miller noted that all lots are well over the 14,000 SF minimum area. Miller said Council may defer action pending approval of the Royal Hills North plat or take action tonight; noted that the plat wi1J not be executed until the Royal Hills North Plat is approved. Hicks moved approval of the Final Plat of McClung Third Addition, subject to Final Plat Approval of Royal Hills North and resolution of Park Dedication, recognizing the minor Lot 8, Block 2 and Lot 4, Block 1 variances. Motion was seconded by Rauenhorst. In discussion, Hicks asked John McClung how a 5' wide walkway width was established. McClung said it was recommended by Parks and Recreation Committee; does not know whether it is intended to be a paved or grass surface. Some concern was expressed that the 5 foot width may be difficult to maintain. Motion carried unan- imously. (5-0) McClung stated that he is in favor of the North Heights Luthe'ran Church west of Snelling Avenue but access to the site should be limited to Highway 96; otherwise feels, in a few years, we'll be having the same traffic problems on Snelling as are now experi- enced on Ham1ine Avenue. .
