City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission May 7, 2024 Commissioner Seppala asked if there is room for people with moving fans to get in and out of the or if they have to have an empty spot. She asked about ambulances having to back out and fire trucks, police cars. Mr. Ebert said the space is designed to be able to back up and out. Commissioner Thompson asked if their finance model requires certain pre-lease agreements. Mr. Ebert said no. Commissioner Thompson asked what happens if the rent goals are not being met. Mr. Ebert said they would have to evaluate that as they go, noting that they are marketing a high-end luxury product. They have reserves for about a year and a half and if they did not meet their goals, they would have to make adjustments but hopefully thatÓs not the case. Commissioner Nelson asked about their snow removal plan and where it will be stored. Mr. Ebert reported that they do not have a plan to date but will have one. Commissioner Olson asked if there was a landscape plan, because per the site plan it appears everything is being removed. Mr. Ebert said that they have worked with the city and are meeting the city code. They are trying to leave as many mature trees as they can. Commissioner Olson stated that he doubts the trees are a caliper inch equivalent. Administrator Statz stated that there is no code requirement to replace caliper inch requirement in kind. Mr. Olson asked who made the decision to deviate from the downtown master plan for design intent.

Commissioner Seppala added that it looks like something in Lexington, adding that you have to look hard to see the French features. Commissioner Olson added that the design looks too broken up.

Ms. Brilowski stated that of all the properties, she believes that she is the most directly impacted by the proposed development. Ms. Brilowski said that she has some concerns that she would like to share. Ms. Brilowski said she has been feeling harassed by community members by some information that has been out there. She said that she respects her city council and representatives and believes that they will do their due diligence. Ms. Brilowski added that she is not happy with the number of community members who have approached her privately on the assumption that she must be against development of the LaLonde property. Ms. Brilowski started that she is dismayed by the lack of research, and inaccurate information that neighbors have shared with her and that she has the ability to form her own opinion. Ms. Brilowski stated that she is greatly irritated by the pressure to confirm to the ideas of those who will be less impacted than she is by the development. Ms. Brilowski said that when she explained some inaccuracies of the petition circulating, she was told that it was too late to make any changes and that it wasnÓt very important anyway. Ms. Brilowski also said that it has come to her attention that when she mentioned to a community member who had come to her door that being in a Tax Page 5 of 17
