City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />February 22, 2006 <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated that under the current language of the Ordinance he would <br />not be allowed to build the garage and no exceptions would be allowed for just one <br />property. <br /> <br />Mr. Fisher said that he has budgeted to do this during the summer. <br /> <br />Council Member Terway explained that the Planning and Zoning Commission has said <br />they intend to be done within three to four months and this would be lifted. <br /> <br />Mr. Fisher asked what planned changes would do to his plan for the garage he wants to <br />build. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the city is working out the details and it may be <br />possible that the garage could not be built based on how the Ordinances are changed. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra indicated that she does not want to impede anyone to put on a garage. <br /> <br />Mr. Fisher said that he cannot believe that this is needed because there are no applications <br />on file. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar indicated that there is a lot of money invested in this project and it <br />is necessary to control development to guarantee that the money was well spent. He then <br />said that it is difficult to please everyone but the City does not want someone to come in <br />and come in under the current requirements to build something that the City does not <br />want to see for the redevelopment area. <br /> <br />Mr. Fisher asked for verbiage for a commercial moratorium that would not affect <br />residential property. <br /> <br />Mr. Fisher said that he respects the investment on this but he would like the City to <br />respect his property rights and not prevent his right to build a garage. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra said that it was not her intention to restrict anyone just to protect the City <br />from development that would not be consistent with the plans for the downtown <br />redevelopment area. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra said that normal residences downtown should be able to make <br />improvements to their home and she is more concerned with commercial redevelopment. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra said that she understands the reasoning behind this and she did not lie in the <br />beginning but the City did adopt the Redevelopment Guidelines and the Ordinance needs <br />to be amended to allow the City to enforce the Redevelopment Guidelines. <br /> <br />Council Member Lakso asked whether a City delay could assist in allowing him to build <br />the garage. <br />Page 4 of 13 <br />
