<br />Mr. DeVine, a member of the audience and Planning and Zoning, questioned whether the <br />revised plat was for a PUD or for R-2 zoning as the developer had indicated he would <br />resubmit to reflect R-2 zoning. Mr. March stated that the developer had changed his <br />mind in regards to R-2 zoning and submitted a revised plat for PUD. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated her desire to have staff obtain information <br />on the school boundaries and the MUSA Comprehensive Plan for the City of Lino Lakes. <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers stated that she would like Council to review the <br />information and discuss plans to coordinate development with the City of Lino Lakes so <br />that Centerville is not negatively impacted by having a large number of children from <br />outside of the City boundaries attending Centerville schools. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber proposed having a joint meeting with the school district and the City of <br />Lino lakes concerning development and its impact on the school district. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers stated that the Comprehensive Plan has been <br />available for three (3) years and the school district should not have been surprised by the <br />proposed Pheasant Marsh development. Council Member Broussard Vickers stated that <br />she would like to get the information concerning the school boundaries and MUSA plans <br />for the City of Lino Lakes prior to the joint meeting.

He was under <br />the impression that the undeveloped area next to his property was a nature area. There <br />were comments from those concerned for the impact on the school district. There was <br />also a concern for the driveways of two (2) residents to the north of the development. <br /> <br />) <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber questioned how those two (2) residents currently access their property. <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated one (1) of the residents had indicated he <br /> <br />Page 6 of9 <br />
