City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />March 11, 2015 <br />concerns and the Commission felt strongly that modifying it in this area or the entire block <br />would have ramifications in the future and adversely affect the downtown plan. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Love, seconded by Council Member King to Approve the <br />Planning & Zoning Commission’s Findings and Decision Associated with Ms. Farley’s <br />Offer to Purchase 1737 Main Street, Centerville, MN. All in favor. Motion passed. <br /> <br /> <br />Council Member Love questioned whether a separate motion to deny the offer was needed and <br />Legal Counsel Glaser stated that due to the above motion no additional motion was needed. <br />Both the Planning & Zoning Commission and Council graciously thanked Ms. Farley for her <br />interest in purchasing the property. <br /> <br />Mr. Suski will forward the information to Ms. Farley on behalf of the City. <br /> <br />3. Mr. Lou Suski, Gaughan Companies, Request for Additional 60 Day Extension Purchase <br /> Agreement 1691/1695 Main Street <br /> <br />Administrator Ericson stated that staff has been working closely with restaurantors who are <br />interested in the purchase of the property, abutting property(ies) and plans. <br /> <br />Mr. Suski stated that the restaurantors have been diligently working with their architect to <br />construct a 15,000 foot building with three levels with outside dinning and 60 parking spaces. <br />Mr. Suski also stated that Council may remember that the potential purchasers/restaurantors have <br />requested several other extensions, provided earnest money and Council has been favorable to <br />their requests. Mr. Suski presented Council again with a 60 day request for extension which <br />would allow for site plans, parking accommodations, landscaping and acquisition of additional <br />property. Mr. Suski stated that the original purchase agreement was for August, 21, 2014 <br />extended to December 22, 2014, then extended to February 23, 2015 and with this extension it <br />would run through May 31, 2015. <br /> <br />Council Member King questioned whether there were additional offers on the property and Mr. <br />Suski stated no. Mayor Wilharber stated that there was an issue with the property on the location <br />of the sanitary sewer line. Administrator Ericson stated these issues can be handled. Mayor <br />Wilharber questioned current City Code relating to the issuance of liquor licenses for <br />establishments located within 500 feet of the school and/or the church and whether the <br />restaurantors were aware of the Code and consideration for potential amendment. Mr. Suski <br />stated that the potential purchasers are aware of the current regulations, however they are <br />planning an upscale restaurant that serves liquor with meals rather than a bar. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Council Member Love, seconded by Council Member Fehrenbacher <br />to extend the original purchase agreement to May 31, 2015 as presented. <br /> <br />Mr. Suski stated that he will continue to market the property, accept additional offers and <br />forward them to Council. <br /> <br />Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
