City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission January 2,2018 Eric Maass, from WSB presented a short slide show regarding the planning process, including a draft Future Land Use Map and tables showing projected growth and options for land use guidance to achieve various population goals. Commissioner Twohy had completed his "homework". Others had not. The homework assignment was emailed from the Administrator to Commissioners in early December. Comments from Commissioner Twohy spawned from the homework packet were: • An abundance of the use of the term "small town". Questions whether or not that is still the goal (to retain small town feel/atmosphere). What does it mean, in practical terms? Commissioner Haiden asked if there were studies or other information that would delineate what is "small town" and what is not. Mr. Maass will bring back some information and review our current design standards. • MPCA Chapter 7080 — maintenance of private waste treatment systems; what is this? Administrator/Engineer Statz stated that this requirement has now been addressed with Anoka County. The city has clarified, to the county that the city does not perform inspections on such systems, meaning the county is, then required to. • Rush Line Corridor — Goal was to continue monitoring this. Administrator/Engineer Statz stated that this study has wrapped up and the HOV lane and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT — non-stop service to the Twin Cities) was the outcome. • Protect Integrity of Transportation System; what does this mean? Administrator/Engineer Statz stated that this included providing connectivity between neighborhoods and maintaining access to the Park and Ride or other such transportation facilities. • Establish areas suitable for step-up or higher income housing; what areas are left to do this. Consensus was there was little room for adding this type of housing. • Develop sign ordinances. Consensus was that this has been done and perhaps lacks some enforcement. • Maintain level of growth, supportable by level of public services available. Planner Maass said that the answer to this comes from the City Engineer, once a development/density goal is established. • Develop design standards to support multi-modal transportation; what more can be done in Centerville. Already have extensive trail network, etc. Further discussion ensued on potential changes to the Future Land Use Map, mostly related to the extent of the Mixed Use Districts, whether pursuit of downtown/commercial businesses is best done in the old downtown area, along the Main Street Corridor and/or along the lakefront. Consensus to have single lot depth of Mixed Use District shown over the existing St. Genevieve Church on Sorel St.; also on the south side of Main Street, between Progress Road and City Hall. VII.
