May 7, 2024 Centerville Planning & Zoning Commission Page 10 of 12 RE: Ten Nineteen Development LLC, LaLonde Property, PUD Preliminary Development Plan Findings of Fact for Approval 1)The Estate of William J. LaLonde owns the property at 1687 Westview Street, legally described now as in Lot 4, Auditor’s Subdivision 48 Revised, being a part of the NW ¼ of Section 23, Township 31, Range 22, Anoka County, Minnesota; described by Anoka County with PID 23-31-22-22-0003. The property is being replatted with this approval as Lot 1 and Lot 2 Block 1 of LaLonde First Addition. 2)Ten Nineteen Development LLC has proposed a 104-unit apartment project on the property, consisting of a three-story apartment building with a level of parking underneath the building for 110 cars and a surface parking lot of 56 spaces. 3)The project is proposed as a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development under the standards and processes in the Centerville Zoning Code. 4)The project as conditioned meets the M-2 zoning district standards in Section156.052, the standards for approving a Conditional Use Permit in Section 156.210, and the standards for approving a Planned Unit Development in Section 156.252(A). 5)The project is in close proximity to Centerville Elementary School. Safety of the students and school-related traffic are critical issues for the school and the community. It is important to create a safe area in the vicinity of the school. Residents and visitors to the project site must travel along the same route as pedestrians, bicycles, bus traffic, and other traffic accessing the school. Traffic around the school is particularly busy at the beginning and end of each school day and during school events. 6)The project will have many residents and guests on site who will reasonably have a desire to walk, bike, or drive in the vicinity. 7)The project will be the first major development in Downtown Centerville and will be expected to “reinforce and guide public/private investment in a manner that will strengthen the viability of the area and recommend Downtown Centerville as a community destination of the highest quality”, in the words of the Downtown Centerville Master Plan & Development Guidelines. As such, the project must be clean, orderly, and well managed. 8)Main Street immediately adjacent to the west edge of the project site is a busy, high-traffic roadway with no safe pedestrian crossing to Centerville Lake. The project will have views of the lake, but no reasonable direct access. 60-DAY DEADLINE The application was submitted April 5, 2024. The deadline for final action by the City is June 5, 2024, unless extended by the City an additional 60 days if more time is needed, as permitted under Minnesota statute 15.99.
