City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes May 26, 2021 Mayor Love and Administrator Statz realized the wording in the Ordinance was an oversight and was meant to be a stand-alone car wash not a car wash with an accessory, like a gas station. This is not a major issue to approve and can go back for further review. Staff can also review the original idea of a stand-alone car wash. Motion by Council Member Mayor Love, seconded by Council Member Moser, to Adopt Ordinance #113, Second Series, Amendments to City Code Chapter 156 and Table 156.A.1 and authorize publication. A roll-call vote was taken. Mayor Love and Council Members King, Koski, & Mosher voted in favor. Council Member Lakso nay. Motion carried 4-1. 2. Kwik Trip a. Conditional Use Permit (Car Wash) Administrator Statz presented the request of Kwik Trip for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to construct and operate a car wash as an accessory use to their retail fuel sales operation on Lot 2, Block 1, of the proposed Rehbein Commercial plat, contingent upon revisions to the City Code allowing such use. The Planning and Zoning Commission did approve this plan with the following restriction: 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. hours of operation. He stated that the site plan and CUP along with other details are in the packet. He also shared his slideshow presentation with the recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Council Member King questioned how many houses are projected to be built. Administrator Statz estimated 870 homes in Watermark, 250 homes in North Pointe, and 70 homes on Nadeau Acres. Council Member King also had concerns about the noise of the door opening and closing at the proposed car wash along with the length of time that it would remain out during the wash cycle. He reminded Council of the increased traffic in the area. He stated that he preferred additional buffering around the Willow Glen Townhomes. He noted that many comments from the public offer loyalty to the existing small-town existing businesses, but there was no way to stop Kwik Trip from going in as it is properly zoned for that usage. Administrator Statz stated the developer will add screening to the north and west of the car wash. A noise study was conducted and found that noise dissipates over distances. Also, the doors would remain closed which would cut out a major portion of noise from the proposed car wash. Mayor Love thanked Council Member King for his comments and questioned which side is the entry and exit are on. Administrator Statz stated the entrance would be on the west and exit would be on the east which would help eliminate some of the noise. Council Member Koski is concerned with the potential for noise/light pollution and stated that steps should be taken to minimize both. He stated that the hours of operation for the car was could be 24 hours but the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended 7 a.m. – 9 p.m. Kwik Trip can build the gas station on this site and if they wanted to put in a car wash later than they could discuss Page 6 of 12
