City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes April 28, 2021 determine whether the street should go through to 20th. Sidewalks, trails and park dedication are proposed for all lots and noted that the engineering items are covered separately in a memorandum from the City Engineer. He stated that he believes it is important for this discussion, knowing the interest in the proposed development, that dividing this plat into lots, can be approved as simply the division of land as a stand-alone as action without approval of the specific uses. He noted that Lot 2, Block 1 is the Kwik Trip lot, Lot 3, Block 1 has no proposed development, Lot 1, Block 2 is the proposed senior living facility, and Lot 2, Block 2 is the proposed apartments. He stated that th the question is whether Street A should be extended to 20 if and when needed. He noted that he had included some possible scenarios related to the street, but reiterated that the recommendation is for a traffic study to be done to see what would happen if the entire plat were fully developed. He reiterated that this plat meets the basic requirements for subdivision in the City Code and staff is recommending approval. Administrator Statz stated that the legal requirements in front of the Council for a Preliminary Plat are that there is a duty for them to evaluate the proposal based on the CityÓs requirements. He asked that the Council put aside everything else that is proposed as part of this and just look at this as a subdivision of land by itself. He stated that if there is nothing wrong with the subdivision, as a whole, there is an obligation to approve it. He stated that they can give feedback regarding to things they do and do not like, such as proposing the roadway in a different location. He stated that the Council could allow for an extension of another 60 days to allow for more time to review but the Council cannot say that someone cannot plat their land. Mr. Carlson stated that the drawing in the report that shows the colored lots is not the plat and clarified that the plan does not identify proposed uses, such as Kwik Trip or the senior living or apartments. The plat simply identifies Lot 1, Block 1, Lot 2, Block 1, etc. and the street right of way and simply divides the land into parcels. The Preliminary Plat is one step in process and would still need to be final and presumes this arrangement is approved and the landowner would have certain rights if they bring back a final plat at a later date. Attorney Glaser stated that this is a Preliminary Plat and there is a Final Plat that comes after that and are another series of questions that relate to the individual developments within the lots. He stated that the Council should really view those as independent questions and will be preliminary because there will be more than one step associated with them which means there will be more time built in to answer those questions. Mayor Love gave the opportunity for representatives from Rehbein/R & R Leasing to speak the item, but no one spoke. Council Member King stated that he had no problem with the plat and noted that his one question is what would happen if someone came in and wanted two lots instead of one, how much would that process cost them to combine the lots. Administrator Statz stated that if there were major changes, it would be brought back before the Council for this same process, but if it was substantially the same it would not be brought back and would just move to the Final Plat approval. He stated that regarding cost, it is really just a line on a computer and believes the costs would be minimal because the change is just to the drawing. Page 8 of 26
