Roseville Planning Commission Minutes April 9, 1986 Page 4 Mr. Churchwood, 3933 Asbury, asked how many trees would be removed with respect to building the new dormitory. He also asked whether that dormitory could be built today under the previously approved P.U.D. Wiski replied that under the old P.U.D., the dormitory could be built today. Johnson replied with respect to land clearance relating to the new dormitory, minimal trees would be removed, and a retaining wall may have to be utilized. Annette Phillips, 3840 Shorewood Lane, said she was concerned about erosion that would be created by the Physical Education Building, and she was also concerned about the road work that had been done, and the erosion that was occurring. Ericksen replied that the road was only temporary, and is not part of the final P.U.D. Ms. Phillips asked what the square footage of the building totaled. Johnson replied that the building is 86,000 feet, two stories, with a footprint of 320 ft. by 240 ft. Warren Wildes, 3209 Shorewood, stated that he was concerned about the overall erosion in the area, particularly by the lake. Mr. Davidson replied that they had been working with the City and Rice Creek Watershed to alleviate erosion problems. A ten inch pipe to the lake is going to be extended, and there will be significant fencing during construction to control erosion. Dr. Ericksen discussed the College's positive track record relating to environ- mental control. Craig Churchwood, 5340 Russell Avenue in Minneapolis, asked for clarification as to what is being proposed on this P.U.D. versus the previously approved P.U.D. in 1977. Dr. Ericksen proceeded to clarify this issue for Mr. Churchwood and the Planning Commission. Mr. Churchwood also asked what the density requirements were in the area. Demos replied that up to twenty units per acre could technically take place on the site or, in effect, one thousand apartment units. Dahlgren pointed out that the College is zoned R-1; thus the P.U.D. is being developed. Gary Thorne, 1566 Glenhill Road, Arden Hills, asked whether the approval of this application is contingent on Arden Hills granting a variance? Dr. Ericksen replied, no it was not. Mr. Thorne asked what the College has done to assist the neighbors to the east with respect to the buffer area. Dr. Ericksen replied that the College is continually working to enhance the area. Mr. Davidson also discussed the proposed landscaping that is being developed to enhance the separation of the College and the residences. Mildred Lethert, 3085 Asbury, stated the original plantings as proposed in the initial P.U.D. never took place. Dr. Ericksen contended that the College did comply with the previous landscape plan.
