Roseville Planning Commission Minutes April 9, 1986 Page 6 At this point in the meeting, a complaint was made by an individual present to address the Rosepointe project. The Northwestern College proposal was dragging out to the point where the Rosepointe people would not be heard until after midnight. Mr. Wiski apologized for the inconvenience, but stated that consideration on Rosepointe would not be delayed until a future meeting. Mr. Thorne asked that the Planning Commission carefully consider approval of this P.U.D., that it occurs in a residential area, and density and parking have to be a significant consideration. Mr. Churchwood, who is also a landscape architect, took issue with the proposed landscape plan. Herb Mischke, 3100 Ridgewood, stated that the proposed dormitory should be moved back from the residences, and Phillips reiterated the residents' concerns about erosion by the lake. An unnamed resident stated her concern about the noise and view of the mechanical equipment. Recommendation Ms. Johnson stated that she was very concerned about the people's feelings and input into this project, and that it should be held over for revision. Moeller agreed. He saw the Residence Hall and the Life Fitness Center as possibly being too large for the site. Maschka concurred, stating that additional consideration is certainly warranted for this project, such as modification of the tennis court, development timetables, and moving the buildings further back from the residential area. Wiski stated the Planning Commission should provide guidance with respect to what type of modification would best work. Dahlgren explained the process of tabling a project for future consideration. Ms. Johnson also stated her concern that the primary development is taking place in Roseville, and not in the Arden Hills area. Demos replied that she agreed that an adjustment is in order, but also pointed out that with respect to local government aids, the dormitory provides an advantage to the City in terms of population count. She stated this is fairly important in light of the fact that the City is providing all the public services to the site. Wiski discussed his concerns regarding the project, and provided his viewpoint relating to each major element of the proposed plan. Ms. Johnson stated that she believed this would be a better development if the President would consent to move the Residential Hall back from the residences on the east. Maschka stated that he would prefer this be considered at the next Planning Commission meeting, in light of the modifications that the Planning Commission is encouraging.
