Any new information will be highlighted as }�t ���� � <br />and underlined. <br />�.IF REQUESTED ACTION: <br />I. I Northwestern College is currently completing a Discretionary E�vzz�on.��en�al Assessment <br />Worksheet (EAV� for the City of Arden Hills and Roseville pertaining to their request <br />for an AMENDED PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT. <br />!� I.� This EAW is being prepared, in part, as a response to a request to do so from the City of <br />� = Roseville. <br />i; <br />i k 1� The EAW is being prepared by Northwestern College's consultant (TKDA) at the sole <br />� � cost of Northwestern College. <br />�- <br />;k <br />,� <br />,� <br />, <br />,} <br />,- <br />;�� <br />I.* The rules of the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) require, however, that the <br />Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) be the official source of the EAW. The City of <br />Roseville has been desi�nated bv the auulicant as the RGU and as such the City is <br />responsible for review of the document and its forwarding to the EQB and other state <br />agencies for review and comment. In essence, once the EAW is complete it becomes the <br />City's document and must be processed according to Minnesota Rules. <br />l.� The reason the Citv has been desi�nated as the RGU is twofold: First. because the <br />Cit.y has req�ested that the auulicant undertake the EAW and. secondlv, the EQB <br />rules desi�nate that the �overnmental unit with the hi�hest de�ree of required <br />re�ulatory consideration (in this Case, Roseville's prospective PITD rather than <br />Arden Hills consideration as it relates to future auurovals of buildin� uermits) serve <br />as the RGU. <br />��� <br />• I. t} The Community Development Department (City Planner) is currently acting as the lead in <br />}� the land use process and has been the main contact for the current EAW process. An <br />�� EAW is required to be submitted to EQB for publication in the EQB Monitor and <br />•� forwarded to 7 State agencies. <br />PF07-002_EAW_RCA_042307 Page 1 of 2 <br />
