-7- <br />January 27, 1975 <br />Attorney Meyers stated he realized the church was not responsible <br />for city law enforcement, but asked if they would attempt to <br />make the congregation aware of the parking restrictions. Mr. <br />Chandler stated Pastor Bauman was pleased with the special use <br />permit even though it took longer than expected. He thanked the <br />council for their generosity and responsiveness. <br />Motion (Baumgartner) To delete Section 4. Motion died for lack <br />of second. <br />Mayor Johnson asked, if the Center added a door or two, would <br />this increase the allowable occupancy under the fire code. <br />Attorney Meyers stated yes. <br />MSP (Johnson - Pickar) To adopt the special use permit after <br />amending Section 4 to read "occupancy by students shall be <br />limited to not more than 75 students at any one time," and deleting <br />other language relating to total occupancy. <br />Councilman Baumgartner wanted to know the definition of a student. <br />Councilman Shelquist suggested adding "elementary and secondary" <br />students at any one time. <br />Attorney Meyers suggested Section 4 read "Occupancy of the <br />educational structure shall be limited to no more than 75 <br />elementary or secondary students at any one time." <br />Councilman Baumgartner felt it is unconstitutional to tell <br />the Center how many students they can have. <br />Councilman Pickar stated his concern for the health and safety of <br />the children. Councilman Shelquist stated that probably the <br />Council cannot dictate the number of students but if the new <br />wording is acceptable to them, it could be added without problem. <br />Mr. Chandler agreed with Councilman Baumgartner that this matter <br />should be left up to the good judgement of the church and school <br />officials. He appreciated Council's concern and stated the <br />Center has no intention of expanding, but noted that other schools <br />in Mounds View are not regulated by the City. <br />Mayor Johnson stated that the Center has an unusual situation <br />because of lack of facility and space, and that as long as the church <br />has indicated there will be no more than 75 students at any time, <br />there should be no problem with the amendment of Section 4. <br />Mrs. Isabelle Wille, 7911 Spring Lake Road, commented that <br />Red Oak Elementary School had poor facilities many years ago <br />and the children played and walked along the streets without <br />incident. <br />Attorney Meyers suggested Section 4 specify elementary and <br />secondary students "enrolled" in the school. <br />
