June 28, 1976 Page 10 <br />Mayor Johnson asked Mr. Fischel if he agreed to live with 150 student <br />maximum and ask for no more expansions and he replied as far as he was <br />concerned, yes. It would be entirely agreeable but as far as 10 years <br />from now he didn't know. He also stated that their corporate name <br />was Compassion Incorporated. <br />Mr. Mathews stated that they have adult classes from 8:00 am to noon <br />and Mr. Baumgartner stated that the total persons involved would be <br />greater than 150, then, and Mr. Mathews replied no, because they would <br />take over the space being used by the adult school. <br />Mr. Tritkowski asked about using the church itself. Further, he would <br />like to ask if these figures exceed 150 or stay when the church is in <br />operation and the elementary school is there and the adult education <br />is there. Mr. Mathews said that if the adult school moves out it will <br />considerably decrease traffic. 50% of the elementary students are <br />being bussed with parents driving the remaining. <br />Mr. Glazer mentioned that during the Planning Commission's meeting <br />there was much discussion regarding playgrounds. He feels that the <br />intent of the comprehensive plan was to keep it residential, and they <br />are compromising that. <br />Mayor Johnson asked Mr. Glazer if he was saying that any increase at all <br />would be a compromise and he replied that it is bulging at the seams now. <br />Mayor Johnson said there are 130 in the morning and 75 elementary <br />students. What they are proposing is that there be 150 elementary <br />students and no adult education. So your total impact is not increased. <br />Mr. Glazer stated that there would be increased playground use, etc. <br />Councilman Pickar asked how they continue the education after high <br />school and Mr. Fischel replied that the Bible School is from 8:00 to <br />12:00, and it wouldn't be discontinued, just moved out of the present <br />structure. They take the standard tests and they were well above <br />average academically. <br />Atty Meyers asked the total land area including the parking lot and <br />Mr. Glazer replied it was calculated at 1.6 acres. <br />Atty Meyers asked if . the traffic patterns would be increased and <br />Mr. Mathews replied, certainly, but much would be in the form of bussing. <br />He would anticipate decreasing the need for parking facilities with just <br />the elementary school. <br />Atty Meyers asked if it was on Hillview that they park and Mr. Tritkowski <br />said yes, every time there is services, parking is on Hillview. <br />Mr. Forslund stated that they even come up on his lawn sometimes. <br />Mayor Johnson said that he would estimate at least 60 -80 cars parked on <br />the streets. <br />Atty Meyers said that the parking lot abuts the land of Messrs Coony, <br />Tritkowski and Negus. <br />MSP (Shelquist- Hodges) to close the public hearing. 5 ayes <br />The regular Council meeting was reconvened. <br />MS, ( Shelquist- Baumgartner) that we deny Compassion Christian Center <br />the modification of Article IV of the Special Use Permit to remove <br />the limit of 75 elementary and secondary students. <br />
