C <br /> <br />March 29, 2004 <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Peter Rellegers, City Planner @ <br /> <br />Case #04-02 <br />Bethel College <br />Special Use Permit (SUP) Master Plan Amendment / Site Plan Review <br />- New Sophomore Dormitory <br />3900 Bethel Drive <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Requested Actiou <br /> <br />The applicant is requesting approval of an amendment to their Special Use Permit (SUP) Master <br />Plan, a Site Plan review, and height variances of 8-17 feet to allow for the construction of a new <br />4-story dormitory on the northeast portion of the campus. <br /> <br />Update <br /> <br />Subsequent to the March 3rd Planning Commission meeting, the applicant submitted a revised <br />planting schedule which included additional caliper inches of trees. The total caliper inches on <br />the revised planting schedule include some of the plant materials currently on site. This is <br />consistent with the requirements for Landscape Plans as stated in Appendix A (Landscape Plan, <br />B, 7) ofthe Zoning Ordinance as shown below: <br />Plant materials existing on a site at the time of development or expansion of structures, <br />may be used as a credit against the requirements of these landscape regulations; the city <br />Council shall determine the extent of the credit allowed, based on an evaluation of <br />species, size, location, quality of existing plant materials and the consistency with the <br />intent of these regulations. <br />While the total caliper inches have increased to meet the City's overall caliper inch standards, the <br />minimum percentages of trees in various size ranges do not meet the City's standards. A table <br />comparing the City's standards and the proposed percentage of trees in various size ranges is <br />listed below. <br /> <br />\\Earth\Planning\Planning Cases\1004\04-02 Bethel SUP Amendment for dormitory (PENDING)\03-29-04 CC Report.doc <br /> <br />Page 1 of4 <br />
