E. <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota 55432 <br />Dear Mr. Schmelzer: <br />I have received from Dr. Christenson your letter indicating that your <br />school has two certificated teachers, yourself, file No. 902264 E26053; <br />and Carole Schmelzer, certificate file No. 169976. We have also received <br />a listing of those students in attendance and an outline of the curri- <br />culum for grades 1 - 8. <br />According to the regulations of the Department of Education Admini- <br />stration Manual as interpreted by State Department officials, we do <br />hereby recognize the Compassion Christian School as a recognized school <br />operating within the boundaries of the Mounds View School District. <br />I am sending a copy of this letter to Commissioner Casmey's office, <br />the Mounds View Board Chairman, Dr. George Christenson, and the City <br />Manager for Mounds View. <br />We are happy to have your school operating in the school district, <br />and hope that you will feel free to call upon us for any assistance <br />we may be able to give you, and will be happy to cooperate with you <br />on the education of the children that you have enrolled in the school. <br />Sincerely, <br />S. C. Witter <br />Superintendent <br />Mr. D. Forslund, 7886 Sunnyside Road, inquired about parking overnight at <br />Compassion. <br />Mr. Dair stated two young men live there and serve as night watchmen. <br />Rev. Bauman stated that no more than two live there. They do not operate <br />a halfway house for drug addits. <br />Mr. Forslund noted that parking on Hillview Road is sometimes a nuisance. <br />Rev. Bauman agreed and stated that the church is trying to educate the con- <br />gregation to use instead the plentiful off - street parking owned by Compassion. <br />He suggested no parking signs be installed on this street. <br />Mayor Johnson read the November 20, 1974 Planning Commission minutes which <br />dealt with the Compassion permit request. He asked Fire Chief Fagerstrom <br />to indicate how Compassion has complied with the fire code. Chief Fager- <br />strom reported that all temporary fire prevention and detection requirements <br />have been met. <br />Mayor Johnson asked what permanent requirements would be necessary with the <br />issuance of a special use permit as requested by Compassion. Chief Fager- <br />strom stated that the church indicated they will install the necessary <br />detection and prevention systems and that the exact nature of these will <br />be determined when the council established the parameters of the permit. <br />
