Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, March 07, 2007 Page 4 City Planner Thomas Paschke advised that Commissioners, at their discretion, could choose to direct staff to make such notification to interested property owners a condition of approval, as had been done with other PUD applications, to continue interaction between the applicant and residents. Mr. Lindgren advised that the college would very much like to continue having neighborhood dialogue. Mr. Larson requested that such a condition be in writing, not just verbal, and included in the approval. Mr. Larson opined that past expectations of neighbors for development at the college had not been realized. Mr. Larson further requested that another condition include an annual review by the college to ensure that the buffer, berm and screening was maintained to avoid degradation. Mr. Lindgren, on behalf of the college, was supportive of such a condition in concept; however, asked that specific regulations be provided to allow the college to know what was expected of them. Mr. Larson thanked college personnel for solving the refuse hauling operation violations. Mr. Lindgren advised that he would need to leave the meeting at this time; and introduced Ms. Amy Cary, Vice President of Advancement; and Brian Humphries, Vice President of Facilities at Northwestern College. Annette Phillips, 3084 Shorewood Lane, RV Ms. Phillips addressed the perceived erosion from building #8 to into Lake Johanna; and questioned when that would be addressed. City of Roseville Community Development Director John Stark advised that he and Associate Planner Bryan Lloyd had visited the site and, while some tree roots were exposed, the level or erosion didn’t appear to be due to construction, but it appeared to have occurred naturally over time. Mr. Stark asked that concerned residents contact staff and meet with them on site to review their specific concerns. Mr. Stark noted that, during the construction process, substantial levels of protection were required when construction was adjacent to bodies of water, and were monitored during the Building Permit approval process by the City’s Design Review Committee (DRC) made up of staff from numerous City departments to review building plans and means for effective erosion-control measures. Mr. Stark noted that the slope was steep and there was some natural erosion, which may be addressed through ground coverings or some other mitigation options, which could be reviewed, and such a condition would be supported by staff. Further discussion included the viability of a road around the proposed field house (Building #25); and it’s elevation, with the building proposed to be built on stilts, the field elevated, and the road on a lower grade. City Engineer Debra Bloom noted that circulation and signage of mitigation bullet point number 3 of the staff report addressed that issue and impacts to the bluff and Lake Johanna, and erosion control.
