City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission May 7, 2024 Increment Financing (TIF) could potentially be beneficial for her property, her comment was taken to mean that she refused to sign the petition because she was holding out to sell to a developer. Ms. Brilowski clarified that she plans to be in her home for another twenty years. Ms. Brilowski stated that the administrators of the Face Book page continue to allow inflammatory comments to be posted. Ms. Brilowski stated that our officials serve our community with integrity and asked what gives people the right to accuse them of acting illegally by accepting kickbacks. Ms. Brilowski said that the Change.org petition is circulating from Coon Rapids to Hudson, Wisconsin and has 200 signatures from 3 different zip codes. Ms. Brilowski stated that the only zips code the Commission should listen to is the one in Centerville. She added that the city, landowner, developer have worked with her and followed up every month. Ms. Brilowski stated that there is no lack of information, and that the city has been notifying the public since August 2023 Î the city has done its due diligence. Ms. Brilowski Stated that the property in question is not going to be sold as a single-family home because the property is structurally deficient. She started that she thinks it would be better to have live next to luxury apartments than it would be 30 town homes like people think they want, because the traffic study shows what and when you can expect heavier traffic. Ms. Brilowski added that with town homes marketed to young families there is less certainty about when people are coming and going. Ms. Brilowski stated that the luxury apartments in North Oaks have a minimum requirement of $1,000,000 for an apartment, so she thinks the apartments in Centerville will be occupied. Ms. Brilowski stated that she is disgusted about comments about people who might move in if all units are not filled as luxury apartments. Ms. Brilowski added: does not everyone deserve equitable housing? Ms. Brilowski said that she has concerns about trips with traffic but understands that traffic will continue to increase with development around Centerville. She stated that she is a retired schoolteacher and became a bus driver for Rehbein for the Centerville Elementary School route. Ms. Brilowski said that morning traffic is ok and there are not problems. She added that in the afternoon, traffic is horrendous, and it is on the part of the parents who are not obeying logical sequence of traffic because they are cutting in front of the school buses and that has nothing to do with the developer. Ms. Brilowski stated that kids are not allowed to cross Main Street, noting that children are escorted out by grade, by teacher and are escorted to parentsÓ cars and the school bus as well as off the bus. She added that the 10-foot buffer zone and walkway are totally safe. Ms. Brilowski said that she recently learned that there is no longer a restriction for a restaurant near the elementary school to hold a liquor license and it would be her worst personal nightmare with not knowing when people are coming and going and at all hours of the night. Ms. Brilowski stated that the apartments seem like a better fit for everyone. Ms. Brilowski stated that she would hate to see the LaLonde property not generate taxes like Block 7. She also said that she grew up in Stillwater, and sees what a lovely, vibrant community it is and that she would like to see this in Centerville. Ms. Brilowski stated that what the developer is proposing is within the M2 Zoning District. Page 6 of 17
