Roseville Planning Commission Minutes April 9, 1986 Page 5 Wiski asked Ericksen whether the buffered development was adquate between the residences. Dr. Ericksen replied that he thought it was--that sixty-five trees have been planted over time. Demos pointed out that in one year, eighty trees had to be removed as a result of Oak Wilt and Dutch Elm. At this point in time, the landscape plan was discussed in more detail. Bill Steinworth, 3077 Asbury, stated that he didn't like the noise in the area, and that the proposed dormitory is too close. Mr. Steinworth made references to his inability to enjoy his back- yard based on the inadequacy of the buffer and inadequacy of noise control. Mark Wild, 1678 Lydia, stated he was concerned about the exit on Lydia. Dr. Ericksen proceeded to point out on the map the proposed traffic control in the area. Roberta Thompson, 1686 West Lydia, asked what changes would take place with respect to landscape regarding the driveway, and wouldn't headlights also be a concern to the adjacent neighbors. Dr. Ericksen replied that they may have to remove one tree at the most, but he would prefer to keep the Y intersection in the area, if this was allowable. Again, Bill Steinworth stated he is still worried about the screening, and that one could not justify the trail and the new dorm being so close to the homes. Mr. Johnson stated there is a possibility that the dorm could be moved or modified. Ms. Carlson, 1516 Edgewater, said if there is no proposed growth at the College, why does it need to build for new dorms? Ericksen replied that the dorms would not be built if the enrollment wasn't there. Warren Wildes stated his opposition to deleting part of the woods to develop the tennis court. Dr. Ericksen replied that there wasn't really any good place to develop a tennis court on the site. Mr. Churchwood suggested that more information be provided on the exits, and that the complaints about noise necessitate more study. At this point in the meeting, Dr. Ericksen stated that the south- east entrance to the facility would not be closed, which conflicted with previous discussion in the evening, regarding the closing of that particular exit. Roberta Thompson stated her concern with respect to accidents in the area. Tom Cathey, 3170 Asbury, asked for a more detailed explanation of the traffic patterns. Mr. Dahlgren stated that one of the reasons for moving the traffic to the southeast was to pull the traffic flow away from the residents in the other area. Marlys Graff, 3061 Asbury, asked that the Planning Commissioners come and look at the site so they get a better understanding of what's occurring. Wiski replied that all of the Commissioners look at the sites before the meetings.
