I I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 9.1996 10 .. College with the condition that the maximum FTE student enrollment be limited to 1,250 and directed the City Attorney to draft a Zoning Ordinance Amendment that would allow colleges in I the R-I District under the PUD regulations. Mr. Ringwald reviewed the staff report and Planning Commission's recommendation for I approval, subject to the following conditions: 1. Modification of the student enrollment Full Time Equivalency (FTE) allowed at I Northwestern College, such that the enrollment shall not exceed 1,425 FTE within the next five (5) years and 1,600 FTE within the next ten (10) years. I 2. Establishment ofa review period of five (5) years to review general activity on campus. These reviews would look at issues such as enrollment trends, any short or long range I changes in the site plan or building additions. The first of such reviews would occur five (5) years from the date of approval ofthis action, unless Northwestern College proposes an amendment to the PUD before that date. Amendments to the PUD will still require I Public Hearings whether or not they occur at the same time as the regular five-year revIew. I. 3. Modifications to the Roseville portion of the campus also be submitted to Arden Hills for the purpose of keeping the case file current and having the opportunity of responding to proposals. Similarly, proposals for action by Arden Hills will be submitted to Roseville I for review and comment. Mr. Ringwald advised that during the public hearing, several issues were raised which resulted in I the Master Plan being modified to show the tennis courts in Roseville as being at least 100 feet from the property line, exterior security lights to the rear of the gymnasium have been readjusted to point downward (rather than at the neighboring residential area), and substantial amounts of I refuse have been removed from the site. In addition, Northwestern College has rearranged various equipment and materials in an orderly fashion and is supportive of exploring ways to either screen or house these needed materials. I Councilmember Malone stated his recollection that the Planning Commission did not agree to I increase the FTE to 1,600 in ten years, but to recommend an increase to 1,425 in five years with a five-year review. Mr. Ringwald stated this is not his recollection of the Plmming Commission's determination. - . Don Erickson, 900 Redwood Lane, New Brighton, President of Northwestern College, stated this is a matter of interpretation and hc is grateful ifthe City approves an increase to 1,425 with - review in five years. He stated he would like to see 1,600 ultimately because he believes this is - the maximum number of traditional students on Campus. -=. Mayor Probst asked the Northwestern College representatives ifthey have questions on any - condition of approval. Mr. Erickson indicated they have no questions. ~ - -
