He noted the Library is the largest of the three proposed building, proposed to be two stories above --grade. Bergly advised the Zoning Amendment and PUD must be approved prior to construction of the Library. Bergly stated the college has presented an appropriate level of planning detail for the City to evaluate the general acceptability of the Plan and reiterated his concerns relating to the location of the 'tennis courts, the drive extending north between the Fine Arts Center and Nazareth Hall and the potential of filling in the landscaping breaks for screening on the east edge of the site. Planner Bergly advised the building materials and colors are not provided, however, the report mentions the materials will be compatible with other surrounding buildings. Bergly outlined the actions necessary to recannend approval of the Zoning Amendment and the PUD Concept Plan; indicated if Council approves both, the applicant may apply for Site Plan Review for the Library facility. Don Erickson, President of Northwestern College, thanked Planner Bergly for his presentation. Erickson responded to the three concerns listed in the Planner's report: 1. The roadway in question is not planned for vehicular traffic, rather for trucks and maintenance vehicles as a diversion from regular traffic patterns. 2. The gaps in the landscaping which screens the east edge of the campus are not intentional and are due to irregular growth patterns. Indicated willingness to "fill-in" those areas. 3. The tennis courts proposed on the Roseville portion of the Campus are proposed for this location due to topography restrictions on Campus and identification of this location as most desirable for six tennis courts. Noted the courts were reconfigured to enlarge the setback fran adjacent residential properties and the matter will be discussed with the City of Roseville in the future.
