-6- <br />January 27, 1975 <br />mobile Club before the public hearing scheduled by_Ramsey County. <br />for Feb. 10. <br />Councilman Hodges stated he thought the idea of one ordinance <br />county -wide is good and that it would be easier to enforce such <br />laws if all communities were regulated by the same ordinance. <br />Administrator Achen stated the county is seriously interested <br />in getting input from communities on the proposed ordinance. <br />Attorney Meyers read the proposed special use permit agreement <br />with Compassion Christian Center. <br />Councilman Shelquist commented on Section 4, dealing with occu- <br />pancy. He stated the Planning Commission was concerned with <br />the number of children the school could accommodate and that the <br />328 persons specified in Section 4 is more liberal than the <br />Commission intended. <br />Councilman Baumgartner felt the jurisdictions of the Planning <br />Commission or City Council do not include setting the number of <br />students allowable in the school. He stated this Section should <br />be deleted from the permit and left up to the church. <br />Councilman Shelquist said the Center indicated to the public and <br />Coun cil,thatthe permit would be for approximately 60 to 70 <br />students and that this is an acceptable number. He questioned <br />whether the school could expand its facility to accommodate more <br />students. <br />Attorney Meyers stated it is a non - conforming use and it cannot <br />be expanded. <br />Mayor Johnson suggested adding a student limit of 65 to this <br />Section. <br />Councilman Pickar agreed with Councilman Baumgartner's objec- <br />tions to this limit and stated his preference for leaving the <br />permit as is. Councilman Hodges also favored leaving the permit <br />as is. He felt the fire department should determine the occu- <br />pancy limits. <br />Mayor Johnson asked Mr. Robert Chandler, attorney for the Center, <br />if a restriction of 75 students is unduly restrictive for the <br />Center's operation. <br />The attorney said Rev. Bauman was not able to attend the meeting <br />this evening due to illness, but that the Rev. would accept the <br />document as it stands. He stated the church and school are full <br />now and expansion is not likely. <br />Judy Rowley, 2562 Ridge,asked who is liable if these students <br />are hurt on city playgrounds. Attorney Meyers answered that <br />the normal rules of negligence and liability would apply. Mr. <br />Chandler stated the Center had acquired a facility in New Brighton <br />to carry on their printing operations. He stated the church will <br />comply with the city's traffic regulations, but they should be <br />held responsible for insuring that all their members abide by them. <br />
