City of Roseville PUD Amendment Application Northwestern College Radio Network Media Center & Presbyterian Homes and Services Site Plan The new facility to house Northwestern College Radio and Presbyterian Homes will be on the site bounded by Lydia Avenue on the north, Snelling Avenue on the east and Lincoln Drive along its southwest border. It is roughly a triangular site with an existing Northwestern College residence hall in its northwest corner, a vacated service station in its northeast corner and a parking lot on the remainder of the site. A retention pond is located at the southern most tip of the property, and it was designed with the original PUD in 1993, In response to that PUD, the residence hall will stay, the new office building will occupy the northeast comer of the property and a new surface parking lot with a one-story parking deck will situate south of the two buildings. The retention pond will remain unaltered. The residence hall has existing entrances on the north and south sides of the building, The new office building will have its main entrance on the south side relating to the parking facilities and favorable winter sun. All vehicles will enter the site from Lincoln Drive (approximately 160 feet south of Lydia) so that traffic patterns on Snelling and Lydia will be minimally impacted. The surface parking lot will accommodate 122 cars and the parking deck will hold 82, The ramp from grade to the parking deck will be placed on the southwest side of the deck, along Lincoln Drive. Landscape Plan The existing site is generally flat with a gentle rise in the parking lot going from Lincoln Drive to a ridge along the northeast edge of the lot. Deciduous and coniferous trees exist along Lincoln Drive, and a line of mature conifers occurs along Snelling and the Lydia/Snelling intersection. Site grading and the new construction will allow most of the trees to remain with the new plantings interspersed among the existing. Smaller deciduous trees will be planted along Lincoln near the residence hall to screen the parking lot from the neighboring apartments. Existing low bushes and trees around the residence hall will be retained and enhanced with new plantings, Deciduous trees will be planted on the north and east sides of the office building to soften its surfaces and relate to the trees along Lincoln. The existing conifers on Snelling will also be added to so the presence of the parking deck can be diminished. Two or three flowering deciduous will be planted in the small plaza at the entrance to the office building. Concrete sidewalks will run from the northwest comer of the site to the two entrances of the residence hall
