. . .SEDONATOWNHOMES,LLC 7029 20th Ave S Centerville, MN 55038 Office: (651) 762-4089 Fax: (651) 762-5604 January 4,2007 City Of Centerville, MN 1880 Main Street Dear City Administrator Dallas Larson, We have an exciting new design for the office building. We have designed a building with the buff and brown colors, added stone to the front and side, enhanced the lower front windows with a canopy ~ porch look, added white trim to the upper portions, white columns to the front, changed the wall materials and colors to create a visual separation of size and shape. We have lowered the building height in the northeast corner by four feet and added a parapet cornice for an architectural decorative effect. The enhanced building design has the colors, stone and porch characteristics of the first three buildings while bringing a distinctive cornice look. The four buildings with similar colors and architectural features, similar trees and shrubs, a parking lot pattern with landscaped peninsulas achieves a unity of design. This office park, with these features, will continue to buffer the residential zone from the commercial zone. Item B~ 1- The reduction in the number of parking stalls from 22 to 14 is actual usage. The City Council approved the change based on a parking study of similar offices. At this time two offices are occupied and the parking is adequate. The cities engineer has addressed the issue in his letter dated 12/28/2006. See attached Response to B-2: At the time the development contract was approved the county reconstruction of 20th was in the design stage. The City Council did not require a trail dedication. We propose that the trail dedication be in the area of the county temporary construction easement. The county will be vacating on December 31, 2009. The construction of the trail should be part of an overall plan and costs shared between benefiting parties. B~ 3 Response. We have been paying $600.00 per building permit. The city ordinances is $2,175 per acre, ($2,175 x 5.174 acres ~ $11,253.45) ($11,253.45/18 units ~ $625.00 per unit) The council agreed to $600.00 per unit. In the new development agreement we will be paying the full amount of the park dedication fee. ~ . .
