City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />May 26, 2021 <br /> <br />Administrator Statz informed the City Council this grant is a reimbursement style grant and staff <br />is asking the City Council to approve the use of the funds. Applicant would have to spend the <br />money and then submit request for reimbursement. He asked to allow staff to obtain funds from <br />Anoka County. <br /> <br />Mayor Love stated the EDA loan/grant would make it easier to start up a new business in <br />Centerville. Please reach out to City Hall if you have questions about wanting to prosper your <br />business. <br /> <br />Council Member Koski stated this is a good use of the grant program which will enhance our <br />current local and new business. He also thanked the EDA for their hard work. <br /> <br />Motion for Approval by Council Member King, and seconded by Council Member Mosher, <br />to Approve EDA Revolving Loan & Grant Application – JETS Machine Shop. A roll-call <br />vote was taken. Mayor Love and Council Members King, Koski, Lakso & Mosher voted in <br />favor. Motion carried. <br /> <br />VIII. OLD BUSINESS <br /> <br />1. Ordinance #113, Second Series Amendments to City Code Chapter 156 & Table <br />156.A-1 (Second Reading) <br /> <br />Administrator Statz explained this item relates to changes to City Code, Chapter 156 and <br />Table156.A-1 as it relates to car washes, vehicle sales and service. The table of allowed uses is a <br />listing of ways to use your property. One concern is the stand-alone car wash versus a car wash <br />that is an accessory use such as a retail fuel sales (gas station). This amendment would allow any <br />future business to have a car wash as an accessory to retail fuel sales. Currently, it is not allowed <br />under the City Code. <br /> <br />Council Member King wanted information on smaller items like permits, stand-alone car washes, <br />etc. <br /> <br />Administrator Statz provided more information by detailing descriptions and new language of <br />allowed uses and permitted uses regarding outdoor sales. Car lots would not be allowed under the <br />B-2 district. <br /> <br />Mayor Love pointed out that there was an omission of wording, and thanked him for making note <br />of it. <br /> <br />Council Member Koski commented that this can work if it is done correctly. He greatly appreciated <br />all of the hard work. Once zoning rules are in place, it is very difficult to change midstream. <br />Council Member Lakso thanked everyone who spoke. She believed the ordinance needs a lot more <br />work and could have been sent back to the Planning and Zoning Commission. She expressed <br />discomfort with this ordinance, wondering what else could be done. <br /> <br />Page 5 of 12 <br /> <br /> <br />
