Roseville Planning Commission Minutes May 7, 1986 Page 3 Dahlgren proceeded to discuss the changes in the project such as a reduction in the size of the tennis courts with an increased setback, the fact that the dormitory has been moved back, the pathways will be further west, the western exit will only be used for athletic events, the newer area for ingress and egress will be closer to the eastern part of the parcel, a more extensive landscape plan has been presented, and more parking will be added. Dr. Ericksen reiterated Mr. Dahlgren's discussion, and turned the meeting over to the TKDA architects who proceeded to discuss the modifications in the proposal, particularly as it relates to the modified landscape plan. Maschka asked whether the trees will be lost with the modification of the southwest corner egress. Jim Johnson replied that essentially there won't be any changes except for some minor realignment. Goedeke asked why the 30 foot easement with respect to NSP is just on the Northwest College property. The architects replied they were not sure why that was worked out in that way with NSP. Goedeke asked whether more oak trees are in jeopardy by moving the dormitory as proposed. Ericksen replied that the College will lose some trees, but the trade-offs are appropriate and it is providing a better buffer for the residents. Goedeke asked what about the problems with oak wilt in the area. Ericksen replied they are in an experimental program with the state that treats each tree in jeopardy on campus. Architect Johnson pointed out that the College is also willing to help the neighbors with respect to screening their own backyards from the proposed dormitory. Moeller asked to see the elevations relating to the new dormitory. Architect Johnson replied that he didn't have them but, in effect, the first story will be bermed while the other two will be sub- stantially screened. Cleo Churchward, 3093 Asbury, stated the plan is much improved, but was still worried about the noise, particularly with the proposed new parking lot. He also stated the trees should be larger, rather than the proposed one inch diameter. Architect Johnson stated he felt the berm by the new lot would help keep the noise level down, and the problems relating to the planting of trees more than one inch in diameter were discussed. Churchward reiterated his concern about the noise and the trees. Bill Steinworth, 3077 Asbury, stated he was worried about the noise, in that it funnels directly to his house. He did support moving the dormitory back from the property owners. Paul Lethert, (Steinworth's neighbor) asked why all the construc- tion was in Roseville. Ericksen proceeded to discuss the other proposed construction projects that would occur in Arden Hills.
