City of Centerville <br />EDA Meeting Minutes <br />June 17, 2020 <br />(This item was handled out of order. Roger Vannelli was introduced directly after <br />approval of the agenda and before approval of the minutes.) <br /> <br />Executive Director Statz introduced Roger Vannelli of M&M Endeavors, managing owner of the <br />former Vincenzo Catering building at 7085 and 7087 Centerville Road. <br /> <br />Mr. Vannelli explained that he had decided to repair the driveway and remodel the front of his <br />building with concrete. His new renter, was going to open as a catering and café business and <br />Mr. Vannelli was informed that they would need to bring the front of the building up to code and <br />add a wheelchair ramp. He stated that the interior of the building was already up to code because <br />he had remodeled approximately 18 months ago, and he would like to add a patio seating with <br />wrought iron and stamped concrete, but the cost of a wheelchair ramp was really expensive. He <br />learned about the city’s grant program from Executive Director Statz and said that having to <br />spend $20,000.00 in order to get a $5,000.00 grant, plus having to put in a ramp might raise the <br />price enough that he would have to put in something that wasn’t as esthetically pleasing. <br /> <br />There was discussion regarding the terms of the grant program, and possibly increasing it to a <br />2:1 match. The commission requested drawings and an application from Mr. Vannelli. <br /> <br />Executive Director Statz and Commissioner Love both stated that they would be willing to attend <br />an emergency meeting of the EDA to discuss a grant if Mr. Vannelli could provide sketches. <br /> <br />Mr. Vannelli stated that he would get some drawings together and turn them in the following <br />week. <br />. <br />VI. Reports <br /> <br />1. Administrator’s Report <br /> <br />Parks: Governor Walz announced on June 10, 2020, that outdoor entertainment could have up to <br />250 people, and the committee is going to try to have Music in the Park. Bald Eagle Waterski <br />Shows are starting to practice for likely shows this summer. They probably won’t initiate the <br />market they were planning due to time frames and reluctance to kick off a new event with all the <br />restrictions in place. <br /> <br />City Hall is closed to the public until June 26, 2020, at which time there will be a limited <br />opening for in-person voting. Permits and other items are still encouraged online or in the drop <br />box. <br /> <br />Bayview villas has two lots left. <br /> <br />Old Mill estates has six homes out of 14 under construction. <br /> <br />Mini Storage has submitted an application and we are days away from issuing. <br /> <br />Page 3 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
