City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission June 4, 2024 single families and then 50% empty nesters. Commissioner Kalina asked how this information is collected, and the developer noted that this information is based on similar high end luxury buildings in suburban markets (like Delano). Administrator Statz added the Elementary SchoolÓs strategy for open enrollment is that as the population reaches its peak, they will drop open enrollees to ensure that people that live in Centerville will attend the elementary school. Commissioner Kalina asked what the average class size is, and Administrator Statz noted that he does not have the number but the limit to require hiring another teacher is not different here than in other areas. Slide 13 Î Architecture Administrator Statz reviewed his slide, noting historical elements from the old school, facades, architecture previously used downtown. Administrator Statz added that the proposed building substantially meets the requirements of the Downtown Master Plan, however, more detailed architectural plans will be required subject to review. Commissioner Olson asked what the developer will do to the northwest to hide the blank wall since the masterplan states that designs should minimize blank walls on public roadways. Administrator Statz noted that the first thing they did was take nine feet off. Mr. Budenski noted that in addition to reducing the size, they will screen with some type of greenery, and full windows (not real windows because the parking garage will be behind it). Commissioner Olson noted that there are other requirements in the Master Plan regarding materials that can be used. Administrator Statz noted that the detailed architectural plans would need to be reviewed by the Commission. Slide 14 Î Garbage and Snow Management Administrator Statz noted that since this was covered earlier, he will move forward to the next slide. Slide 15 Î Small Town Feel Administrator Statz reviewed his slide, noting that the Downtown Master Plan calls for both small town feel and high-density housing. He asked the Commission to consider how these two could co- exist. Commissioner Kalina asked for clarification on the front side of the building; she asked why the front is not the lake since thatÓs the desirable view. Administrator Statz noted that the code used to be different twenty years ago, but today it is considered the street side or yard (east). Discussion ensued about measurement and height. Chair Krueger asked if there were any other questions on anything before entertaining a motion. Since there were none, City Planner Carlson reviewed the three options: Approve with Conditions and Findings, Approve with Enhanced Conditions and Findings, or Denial. Mr. Carlson noted that the staff recommendations is option 1: Approve with Conditions, noting that there are twenty-one conditions and without reviewing each condition, the underlined ones are new thth from the May 7 meeting and the findings (also underlined) are based on the May 7 report. Mr. Carlson added that the twenty conditions and ten findings are what staff would recommend for this project. Mr. Carlson noted that the second option: approve with enhanced conditions, i.e., proof of parking, occupancy, balconies, etc. Mr. Carlson said that there really needs to be extraordinary reason to deny a conditional use; he added that either of the first two options are recommended from his view, noting that staff has provided material in case the Commission wanted to deny the plan.
