City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes April 28, 2021 people may stop in. Attorney Glaser stated that the easement part of this is probably something that is also somewhat of a plat issue and suggested that the City may want to talk about the whole plat design with the property owner. He stated that it is on private property and is a permitted use, but from an engineering standpoint, if there is a reason for those types of things, then that is a wise thing to add as part of a site plan. Mayor Love stated that he just wanted to make sure that everyone was on the same page with regard to the street, because it is a private street which means the owner has the right to decide how it used. He asked if the storage pond on the north side of the lot would be a City pond. Administrator Statz stated that it will be a City pond because there is drainage from the right-of- way that goes through this pond in addition to drainage from Kwik Trip. Mayor Love stated that the City has already held a public hearing and there is the option of the City receiving feedback from the public via e-mail. He explained that Administrator Statz has offered to receive and disseminate all e-mails to the Council and make them part of the packet for the next meeting. He stated that he did not feel another public hearing was needed as part of this process. Council Member Koski asked if the City would request that some type of fencing or barrier be put alongside the pond to block it in order to block noise or light from the nearby townhomes. He st asked if 21 Avenue would support the weight of the 90,000-pound tanker trucks. Mayor Love stated that the City has two other gas stations in town and other streets have been able to handle the weight. Administrator Statz stated that the street is built to a 10-ton standard. He noted that the landscape plan shows a number of trees around the storm pond as well as the perimeter of the site. Motion by Council Member Koski, seconded by Council Member Lakso, to Table Discussion of the Kwik Trip Site Plan, to consider it alongside the other changes with this project. Council Member Lakso stated that she believed that the prevailing desire was to push this off and allow for a longer comment period but knows that this action may cause frustration for others. She stated that she wanted to assure those individuals that the ÒstrategyÓ of the Council with this action was to increase public input on the project. She encouraged people to e-mail Administrator Statz or herself to give their input. Council Member Koski stated that tabling this will also benefit the developer because if there are any questions or concerns, there is now some time for them to address them because there was a lot of miscommunication or disinformation that was put out there, as well as many valid questions that have been raised. He stated that he wants to make sure everybody has a chance to give input. Mayor Love asked if, since this is being put forward without the actual car wash, whether the developer had any specific rights. He asked about the deadline for action on this item. Page 14 of 26
