City of Centerville <br />Regular Meeting Planning and Zoning Commission <br />October 5, 2021 <br /> <br />from time to time for a night, he works as an electrician, so it is a larger truck. He stated <br />right now, all six (6) vehicles fit in his driveway but go right to the edge. He stated if people <br />are informed of when plows will be coming by and someone’s car is parked too close to the <br />curb in their driveway and gets damaged, he feels the owners should be liable for choosing <br />to park there. He stated he hopes the Commission will be empathetic to the situations <br />presented tonight. <br /> <br />Mr. Kevin Amundsen, 1782 Peltier Lake Drive, addressed the Commission and stated he is <br />in favor of using pervious rock for permanent driveways and noted the new development in <br />his neighborhood has a lot of homes that cut through his street and that intersection could <br />use some speed limit and traffic signs to regulate that as it is a safety concern. <br /> <br />Ms. Suzanne Seeley, 1784 Peltier Lake Drive, addressed the Commission and stated there <br />have been many good comments made. She noted she has noticed that almost all lots in the <br />city aren’t square so it would be hard to measure many yards to comply with such a ridged <br />ordinance. She stated she moved to Centerville to live in a small town where the neighbors <br />tell each other if they have a problem with anything they are doing they don’t approve of. <br /> <br />Mr. Rick Houle, 7186 Clear Ridge, addressed the Commission and stated he agrees with <br />everything that has been said tonight. He stated he is looking for clarification and asked if <br />there is a pavement setback on both sides of everyone’s lots, and if so, how wide is it. <br />Administrator Statz stated there is a setback on both sides and it’s a 10ft minimum. Mr. <br />Houle added, he would like to emphasize that he thinks they should allow the use of pervious <br />rocks as mentioned earlier in the discussion. <br /> <br />Mr. Neil Reisdorfer, 7176 Clear Ridge, addressed the Commission and stated he would like <br />to reiterate they are in Centerville and not in St. Paul or Minneapolis so they should have <br />some leeway. He stated he wouldn’t mind if his neighbors wanted to park a boat or <br />something in the yard between his house and theirs. He noted living in a suburban city in <br />Minnesota they should take into consideration that many people have summer and winter <br />recreational vehicles and toys that they keep at their homes and need a place to store them. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Kubat, seconded by Commissioner Kuiper to close the public <br />hearing at 7:48 p.m. All in favor. Motion carried. <br /> <br />V. AWARDS, PRESENTATIONS & APPEARANCES <br /> <br />1. None <br /> <br />VI. OLD BUSINESS <br /> <br />1. City Code Amendment, Outside Storage in Residential Districts <br /> <br />Chairperson Broussard-Vickers asked the Commissioners for their thoughts on this item <br />after hearing the public comments. <br /> <br />Commissioner Twohy stated he heard a lot of great input. He stated it seems the concern is <br />that people think if an ordinance is being enforced, regardless if the requirements within it <br />Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br />
