City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Meeting Minutes July 11, 2006 Uses and Structures with the addition of the word “uncovered” ahead of the word “porch.”. All in favor. Motion carried. IV. OLD BUSINESS None. V. NEW BUSINESS None. VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS City Administrator Larson stated the Council was holding a work session on August 9 to meet with the developer who was interested in the redevelopment of the Downtown area and the Planning Commissioners were invited to this work session. City Administrator Larson reviewed the latest proposal on how the downtown intersection would look. He noted the plan has been tentatively approved by the Council with some minor changes. He indicated the County appeared to be okay with most of this, except with the trees overhanging the curb line, but he believed this could be worked out with the County. Commissioner Love asked if they knew how long County Road 14 would be closed down. City Administrator Larson responded right now it would probably be closed for a total of 7 months with total closure from the west. He noted construction would begin in 2007 and continue in 2008. He indicated Wargo Nature Center entrance would probably be closed for that seven month period. He indicated they were hoping to go out for bids by December of this year. Commissioner Pangell asked if it was possible plans to put a pedestrian/bike tunnel under the road. City Administrator Larson responded that the City had applied for a grant to build a tunnel under CSAH 14, parallel to the creek for bikes and pedestrians and then they would need to build a trail to the school. He indicated this was a competitive project and met the standards of the Safe Way to School Program. City Administrator Larson stated the City has also been working on Backage Road. He presented the street plan for Backage Road for the Commissioners review. VII. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES 1. June 6, 2006 Planning and Zoning Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 6
