MOTION by Councilmember Brenner to approve the plans and to authorize bids for sanitary sewer and watermain improvements as per the revised schedule. Motion seconded by Councilmember Helmbrecht. Motion carried unanimously. 21st Avenue Update Mr. March distributed a contract for joint usage of water facilities by and between the City of Lino Lakes and the City ofCenterville. Mr. March noted he received the agreement late that day from the City ofLino Lakes. Mr. March shared his reservation approving the agreement, since the city did not have adequate time to review and approve the improvement plans. Also, the Joint Powers Agreement did not address overlay/seal coat maintenance dates for each city. The agreement also did not address when the road needs to be maintained and whose responsible for the road maintenance cost. Mr. March commented the Lino Lakes City Council plans are to discuss the watermain interconnect during their Council meeting on March 9, 1998. Mr. Nyberg added, a key to the joint powers agreement will be City's right of way and the City's responsibility to acquire the easements for improvements. Mayor Wilharber expressed Centerville's desire to work with the city ofLino Lakes on this joint venture. However, Centerville should be kept up to date and informed on these issues. MOTION by Councilmember Buckbee to table the 21st Avenue improvement joint powers' agreement between the cities of Centerville and Lino Lakes. Motion seconded by Councilmember Brenner. Motion carried unanimously. Don Jensen - Pilot Land Development Mr. Jensen distributed a senior town home sketch plan located at the intersection of Center Street and County Road 54. Mr. Jensen gave an overview of Pilot Land Developments vision for the commercially zoned property. The proposed town homes target the senior population and would assist Centerville in meeting their maximum population demands. Mr. Jensen proposed sixteen single level living units within eight twin homes. Each unit cost will range between $100,000- $120,000. Mr. Jensen felt the land is not conducive to commercial development because of the wetland restrictions. Therefore, Mr. Jensen suggested rezoning the parcels north and south of Center Street from IB (Commercial) to R2A (High Density Residential). Furthermore, the lot size proposed is 50' in width and 200' in depth with twenty-five to forty feet between buildings. Mayor Wilharber voiced concern exchanging commercially zoned land for residential zoned property. Councilmember Brenner expressed disappointment that the issue was not addressed with planning and zoning commission before the Council. Mr. Jensen responded, he was looking for Council input regarding the senior housing concept and the land use prior to presenting the information before the planning commission. 3
