Roseville, the EA W covered both the Roseville and the Arden Hills side of the campus. As the responsible govemment unit (RGU) for the EA W, the Roseville City Council determined that an environmental impact statement (EIS) was not necessary, which is a more in-depth environmental review. However, the EA W did prompt changes to the proposed Master Plan. An EA W does not decide whether or not a project should be completed. The goal of the EA W process is to identify potential impacts of a proposal and propose changes to the Plan that may mitigate the potential impacts. Arden Hills will use the information prepared in the EA W during each site plan review as the Plan is implemented. Since it has been seven months since the application was last reviewed by the Arden Hills Planning Commission and since the Master Plan has been revised since that viewing, it was determined that the application should return to the Planning Commission for a second review before going to the City Council. The Arden Hills City Attorney has determined that the review timeline restarts when a proposal undergoes significant changes before it is approved by the City Council. Northwestern College has also acknowledged the importance of completing the full review process. The Roseville City Council reviewed the revised Northwestern College PUD Master Plan at their September 24,2007, meeting. They voted to continue the discussion to their October 8, 2007, meeting. Backl!round 1. Overview of Request The full information from the February 7 and March 7 reports will not be repeated in this memo. Ifneeded, the full packets from those meetings can be viewed online at htto://www.ci.arden-hills.nm.us/planningcases. The reports, without the attachments, and the minutes from those meetings are attached for your review (Attachment 3D-3 and 4). The applicant has submitted a letter to the City outlining the changes that were made to the proposed Master Plan since the last meeting with the Arden Hills Planning Commission (Attachment 3D-I). The revisions were primarily in response to the original fourteen recommended conditions of approval, the EA W, and other public comments. The applicants will be in attendance at the Planning Commission meeting to answer specific questions about the Master Plan. Although this application is technically an amendment to the Master Plan approved in 1991 by Arden Hills, it essentially replaces that Plan.
