City of Centerville <br />Planning and Zoning Commission <br />May 7, 2024 <br /> <br />Mr. Lamier said that rental properties bring fewer desirable elements, referencing Landings of <br />Lexington; Mr. Lamier said there is a high number of police calls, and the apartments are already <br />an issue for Lexington. <br /> <br />Mr. Lamier said that residents of Lino Lakes, Hugo, are all asking for a slowdown in development. <br />Mr. Lamier added that developments around us will impact on traffic. <br /> <br />Mr. Lamier stated that Centerville is a gateway, not a destination. <br /> <br />Mr. Lamier stated that we donÓt need rental housing. <br /> <br />Mr. Lamier stated that our long-term plan needs to change, adding that apartments stick out like a <br />sore thumb and will disrupt the small-town feel. <br /> <br />Mr. Lamier asked why we think adding rental properties will bring development when we have no <br />real attractions: 2 strip malls, 2 pizza places, 2 liquor stores. <br /> <br />Mr. Lamier stated that we need better redevelopment not new development. He added that we need <br />to reinvest in our city and come up with a better plan, so people want to stay in and be a part of our <br />city. <br /> <br />Mr. Lamier asked how schools are going to handle all new developments, noting that any child <br />harmed by lack of planning is one too many. Mr. Lamier asked how we look at fire and emergency <br />care as well as wear and tear on the roads. <br /> <br />Mr. Lamier added that any money we get from the increasing population will be spent on <br />infrastructure. <br /> <br />Mr. Lamier said that he does not think this has been thought through deep enough to address traffic <br />safety and future expenses, not to mention the concerns of the citizens if this passes. <br /> <br />Mr. Lamier asked the Commission to please deny the proposal. <br /> <br />23. Cheryl Sacco, 7267 Clearwater Drive (3:07:07 to 3:08:21) <br />Ms. Sacco said that she never approved of anything to put this complex over there and that if she <br />owned this beautiful property, she would want to sell it to somebody that had enough money to build <br />a beautiful house. <br /> <br />Ms. Sacco said that there are some beautiful houses along Mound trail. She said she is totally against <br />the proposal. Ms. Sacco said the LaLonde property is one of the most beautiful buildings when you <br />come into Centerville. She added that this is a conservation area, and she would like to keep it this <br />way. <br /> <br />24. Julie Driver, 1650 Lakeland Circle (3:08:30 to 3:10:53) <br />Ms. Driver stated that the Planning & Zoning Commission has heard many voices regarding the <br />development of the LaLonde proposal and that they are empowered to decide. Ms. Driver said that <br />her property borders the LaLonde property. Ms. Driver said that as a resident of Centerville, she is <br />asking the Commission to please vote no. <br />Page 13 of 17 <br /> <br />
