Mr. Ralph Schmelzer
Compassion, Incorporated
7901 Red Oak Drive N. E.
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55432
Dear Mr. Schmelzer:
I have received from Dr. Christenson your letter indicating that your
school has two certificated teachers, yourself, file No. 902264 E26053;
and Carole Schmelzer, certificate file No. 169976. We have also received
a listing of those students in attendance and an outline of the curri-
culum for grades 1 - 8.
According to the regulations of the Department of Education Admini-
stration Manual as interpreted by State Department officials, we do
hereby recognize the Compassion Christian School as a recognized school
operating within the boundaries of the Mounds View School District.
I am sending a copy of this letter to Commissioner Casmey's office,
the Mounds View Board Chairman, Dr. George Christenson, and the City
Manager for Mounds View.
We are happy to have your school operating in the school district,
and hope that you will feel free to call upon us for any assistance
we may be able to give you, and will be happy to cooperate with you
on the education of the children that you have enrolled in the school.
Sincerely,
S. C. Witter
Superintendent
Mr. D. Forslund, 7886 Sunnyside Road, inquired about parking overnight at
Compassion.
Mr. Dair stated two young men live there and serve as night watchmen.
Rev. Bauman stated that no more than two live there. They do not operate
a halfway house for drug addits.
Mr. Forslund noted that parking on Hillview Road is sometimes a nuisance.
Rev. Bauman agreed and stated that the church is trying to educate the con-
gregation to use instead the plentiful off - street parking owned by Compassion.
He suggested no parking signs be installed on this street.
Mayor Johnson read the November 20, 1974 Planning Commission minutes which
dealt with the Compassion permit request. He asked Fire Chief Fagerstrom
to indicate how Compassion has complied with the fire code. Chief Fager-
strom reported that all temporary fire prevention and detection requirements
have been met.
Mayor Johnson asked what permanent requirements would be necessary with the
issuance of a special use permit as requested by Compassion. Chief Fager-
strom stated that the church indicated they will install the necessary
detection and prevention systems and that the exact nature of these will
be determined when the council established the parameters of the permit.
