City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission June 4, 2024 Commissioner Kalina asked where moving vans would unload. Mr. Budenski noted the primary location, which is at the main entrance. Commissioner McCabe asked if the times are staggered with several people moving in at once and Mr. Ebert explained that they do that when needed. Commissioner Seppala asked for clarification on the number of parking spaces with 2 units being removed. Mr. Budenski noted that the parking ratio is the same. Commissioner Kalina asked if a fire truck would park on the north end and the developer said yes. Administrator Statz noted that the Fire Marshall discussed the project with the developer and made modifications in the northwest to accommodate access to the northwest corner of the building. The Fire Marshall is comfortable with staging vehicles for adequate coverage for the entire building. Originally the plan only had access to the south and east sides of the building. Commissioner Kalina asked about the number of people that would be permitted in the units. Mr. Ebert noted that it would be 2-4 people for a two bedroom. Chair Krueger asked if these restrictions would be done in the leases and the developer said yes and there would be background checks. Mr. Budenski added that all people living in a unit need to be listed on the lease. Commissioner Kalina asked about temporary stays and Mr. Ebert noted that the one-off scenarios would be impossible to predict, but there would be a full-time person on staff who would monitor and bring situation(s), as needed, to their attention. The property manager and other staff would be monitoring the premises. Presentation by Administrator Statz (summary) Administrator Statz reviewed his slides as presented in the packet. A summary of the slides follows. Slide 1 Î Land Use The proposed use is a residential use with a density between 12 and 45 units/acre. Slide 2 Î Preliminary Plat The developer has proposed a two-lot plat to qualify for Tax Increment Financing (TIF) should the city elect to offer it. Administrator Statz noted that there have been some questions about the shape of the lot proposal, noting that the city does not get to draw the lines, the developer does, and the city evaluates whether those lots meet the requirements laid out in the code. Administrator Statz explained that both lots meet the requirements in the code. He added that just because the Commission feels the proposal does not need two lots is not a reason to deny the plat; there would need to be an issue with public health or safety, such as one access to a public street on a curve. Commissioner Seppala stated that information about the two lots being split to qualify for TIF was not disclosed as she did not find it anywhere in the materials for the Planning and Zoning Commission, adding that she found it when she was reading her water bill. Administrator Statz reviewed criteria for parcel(s) to qualify for TIF, noting that our financial consultants confirmed that splitting lots for TIF consideration is common. Commissioner Seppala asked about needing to address the Planning and Zoning Commission to explain a reason for a lot split, and Administrator Statz noted that a reason is not necessary because the Commission would be reviewing the plat. Administrator Statz added that part of the disclosure process, when issuing a public notice, was disclosing that the lot split was in preparation for an apartment. Page 3 of 16
