* A site plan for a bank has been delivered to City Hall. The proposal is to build an approximately 3000 sq. ft. bank on the site immediately just west of the entrance to Eagle Pass. The proposal would include the removal of the current house, a petition to vacate Clearwater Road and a request for a rezoning. * I had a meeting with a reporter from the New York Times on Wednesday afternoon. He had flown in for a couple of hours to tour the Eagle Pass development and is working on a story about the "coving concept" in land use design. The article will run in approximately a month. * The new year has started with a number of changes. Robert Westerlund started full -time on Monday. From early indications, it appears that Robert will be a valuable addition to the City. Robert Barron and Dale Larson's status as part -time employees expired on Monday. I would recommend purchasing plaques to recognize their years of service to the City. Troy Bonkowske starts his new position with the City of Caledonia on Monday. * I had a meeting with representatives from Lino Lakes and the owners of the proposed convenience store that is supposed to be constructed by the Interchange. They have expressed interest in having temporary connections to Centerville's water and sewer system along 21st Avenue. I indicated that the current policy would require the hook -up fees to be paid to Centerville as if the building was going to be constructed in Centerville. They have concerns about having to pay fees to both communities for the same service. The hook -up fees would be in the neighborhood of $20,000 - $25,000 depending on Met Council's determination of SAC units. I indicated that the City Council would have to make the decision on the issue and that the Council would await to hear their future proposal.
