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