With regard to condition number four, Ms. Randall stated that the applicant had indicated that they have received the Rice Creek Watershed District approval. If the Planning Commission makes a recommendation on this Planning Case, then it would be heard at the September 13,1999, regular meeting of the City Council. Chair Erickson stated that given the fact that the applicant will be combining the property to the north with the campus, there should be adequate proof of parking. He asked how the use of the auditorium would be monitored. Ms. Randall stated that, although the campus was private property, regular complaints about parking would trigger inspections and the requirement to construct the proof of parking areas. Mr. Dave Reimers, Guidant Corporation, stated that before parking becomes an issue, the company hears from the employees what is needed. Chair Erickson closed the public hearing at 9:07 p.m., as no one else wished to address the Planning Commission. Commissioner Rye moved, seconded by Commissioner Sand to recommend approval of Planning Case 99-15, Master Plan/Planned Unit Development amendment, conditioned on: 1.

Ms. Randall stated that the applicant is not planning to construct the parking lot to the north. The site will be short 29 spaces when the proposed auditorium and addition to building E is completed. Commissioner Nelson asked when the lot to the east would be constructed. Ms. Randall stated that this lot would be constructed along with the building once the permit was approved.
