City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes Apri19, 2008 Mr. Slotterback stated that on April 1st, the Planning Commission met and discussed the property at 6882 and 6892 Centerville Road; this property was previously guided as high density residential and it is recommended that it be changed to low density. He indicated that there were previous discussions about having this property used for senior housing and if the property remains guided as high density residential and a developer comes in that meets the code for an allowable use, any development would need to be approved. He stated that as a result of this change, the population projections, net density, and other relevant tables and figures in the Comprehensive Plan have been revised. Mayor Capra recessed the City Council meeting at 8:41 p.m. Randy DeJong, Anoka County Assessor's Office, presented the Board of Appeal and Equalization certification for signature by all members of the City Council. He stated that the representatives of Anoka County were able to work on 22 parcels this evening and requested a decision by the City Council on whether to reconvene the Board of Appeal and Equalization hearing or to adjourn the meeting. He explained that if the Council chooses to reconvene the hearing, residents would be given an opportunity to present their case to the Council and have the Council make a decision; alternatively, if the Council adjourns the meeting, residents would then go to the County Board to appeal. Mayor Capra stated that the official record will reflect that each resident who appeared at the hearing this evening was given an opportunity to meet with officials from Anoka County or to have someone from Anoka County contact them at a later date.
