Description of Environmental Effects: 7 Petitioners request further study of the effects of this proposal on the environr.ent which will impact on the following areas of suburban Roseville: a. Land use and local plans and ordinances; There can be no argument that the entire area surrounding the college is zoned R1 residential. The college is proposing to residential and nearly rural aspects of the community by high density transcient population which will overload systems no originally designed or presently modified to allow for high intensity utilization. This impact will be felt in the disruption of traffic systems now designed to handle only residential and traffic transiting from major arterial streets to residential streets with volumes of traffic from major sporting events and entertainment activities sponsored by the college and held on the campus. City services for traffic control; sewer and water supply, solid waste disposal and utilities have not been designed to supply a volume consumer in this area of the city. They have been designed to provide services to a single family residential housing community which is widely spaced and supporting large tracts of city property through the payment of high taxes. Destruction of the scenic area surrounding the settlement pond called Little Lake Johanna is do environmental blow to the value of the homes located on and near the lake. Scenic pollution in the form of large buildings to provide services for a student body which, in order to utilize the space, will have to grow sub- stantially cannot be justified by Northwestern College.
