City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission November 12, 2024 believes this a great example of growth in the downtown, but in a different way than what was previously imagined in the Downtown Master Plan. Ms. Johnson stated that it would be good to see expansion lead to more community use of an auditorium, gym or field-type space, adding that she would like to see a plan that protects the beautiful waterfront, slope of the land, and safety of children as a top priority. Nancy Golden, 1564 Lakeland Circle expressed support for the rezoning of 1687 Westview Street to allow the Centennial District 12 to purchase the property. Ms. Golden stated that there has been significant growth in the number of kindergarten classrooms between 2004 and today and that a strong school system is at the heart of every community, further adding that children are our future. thth Ms. Golden also stated that between March 25 and July 20 of this year, residents were asked to rank their top 5 priorities for our community at four different events. Ms. Golden reviewed the results noting the following: 1. Community center 2. Splash pad 3. Pickleball courts 4. Playground equipment 5. Warming hours and concession stand. Ms. Golden also stated that she would like to propose that the city of Centerville convene an exploratory committee to discuss an option of a joint venture between the city of Centerville and the Centennial School District 12 for the purpose of a shared space on 1687 Westview Street. Ms. Golden noted that the school would have priority of the proposed shared space during the school calendar and the community could use the space during the evening, weekends, and non-school calendar. Further, the shared space would be used for a community center, splash pad, pickleball courts, and a gym. Ms. Golden also noted that basketball, a concession stand, and an indoor walking track could also be included in this space. Ms. Golden added that since the playground equipment upgrade has already been approved, a shared space would mean that the top 5 goals the community has requested would be met and she is requesting that the Commission approve the rezoning.
