Mr. Willie Lessard (Center Villa) Rezone Consideration - <br /> Mr. Davich (Rud Land Surveying) was present to discuss a rezone request from R3 (Residential <br /> Future Expansion Non - sewered) to B 1 (Commercial). Mr. Davich shared the proposed <br /> development currently shows a few ponds to buffer current residential development. <br /> Mr. Dana Johnson (7048 Cottonwood Court) requested that a trailway access Cottonwood Court <br /> to other parks. Thus, the homeowner will not have to walk on Main Street to get to a park. <br /> Ms. Amy Mample (7034 Brian Court) questioned the Developer that if the property is not sold <br /> then why rezone the property? Mr. Davich noted a town home developer voiced interest in the <br /> property. <br /> Ms. Chris Swenson (7016 Brian Court) questioned the Developer, whether or not the businesses <br /> will be located closer to the north existing buildings, if the cul -de -sac road is moved to the north? <br /> Mr. Davich stated the road may be moved closer to the north property line but, either way the <br /> town homes will be near the property line. <br /> Mr. March mentioned a developer is looking to build rental units on the property. Councilmember <br /> Buckbee stated that rental units are good for a higher tax base. Councilmember Helmbrecht <br /> questioned why we need to have a trail accessing the east side of 20th Avenue. <br /> Councilmember Brenner commented that because of talks with citizens and the Design Team, <br /> several persons have voiced a desire to have more trails throughout Centerville. <br /> Mr, Tom Pelican (1889 Center Street) questioned why the Developer wants to rezone the <br /> property if there are buyers willing to build town homes on the property? Mr. Dave Nyberg <br /> stated the developer was looking for consideration prior to proceeding with the project. In <br /> addition, with the present time frame, no construction will take place until 1999. <br /> Mr. Swenson would rather see some type of residential development instead of townhomes. <br /> Councilmember Powers stated she had received several calls in regards to this development. <br /> She would rather have six businesses than town homes. She feels this is a good compromise. <br /> Councilmember Helmbrecht understood Mr. Lessard will have covenants indicating what <br /> what type of business would be acceptable to locate in the commercal district. <br /> Mayor Wilharber stated the Comprehensive Plan showed Brian Drive connecting to 20th Avenue <br /> and if a residential district is approved then 20th Avenue should extend to 20th Avenue, <br /> Councilmember Helmbrecht favored the proposed development with businesses opened from <br /> 8:00 - 5:00 p.m. Also, the city knows what is going in the commercial district and the area will be <br /> 8 <br />
