r PLI t*ANG REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 9 April 1986 1650 Northwestern College Northwest Quadrant of Snelling and Lydia Avenues Approval of Revised Planned Unit Development 1. Northwestern College was initially established in the City of Roseville in 1970 having purchased the campus from St. Paul Catholic Dioceses who had previously built and operated Nazareth Hall, a religious -oriented school for boys. Northwestern College has enjoyed considerable success over the last fifteen years with 739 resident students and 272 commuter students enrolled as of the fall of 1985.

Enclosed is an extensive collection of reduced plans for the overall site and, specifically, that
