<br />City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />January 8, 2003 <br /> <br />. Water tower <br />. County Road 14 <br />. Dredging ponds <br />. Community Center <br />. Anchor Business <br /> <br />Council Member Paar stated that he has a two-year old son and they frequently use the <br />Shoreview Community Center. It has a pool, racquetball facilities, meeting rooms, etc. <br />and he feels the City could benefit greatly from a similar facility. He thought the City <br />could also benefit from an anchor store such as Cub or Econofoods, adding additional <br />conveniences such as a pharmacy. He stated that being seen from 35 would be beneficial <br />and the County Road 14 project would help. He feels the area needs this type of retail <br />development rather than having everyone go to Forest Lake. He felt this would tie in <br />smoothly with a Community Center and help the tax base. He stated he was glad he had <br />been named liaison with the EDC so he can help facilitate some ofthese things. <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney stated this would happen when the EDC was holding more consistent <br />meetings. He noted Lino Lakes has the freeway comer and they may need to work with <br />them. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that 21st Avenue is on the goal list for next year. Council <br />Member Capra stated that when she spoke with Mr. Fisher of Anoka County, he stated <br />that even though County Road 14 is a large project, 20th Avenue redevelopment is larger. <br />She added Columbus Township is doing massive expansion and stated 21 st Avenue is not <br />on the books yet. <br /> <br />Council Member Lee asked if an update on the historic area could be included on the next <br />agenda. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra stated that they had received approval to send an additional letter <br />to 25 people asking for information. She indicated that they have a postcard to send <br />back, and could track to do follow up with those that do not respond. She stated they <br />have the ability to define the area and have contributing and non-contributors within the <br />defined area. Non-contributors would not have to comply with all of the restrictions of <br />the area. She stated she is concerned with the health and welfare of the citizens, noting <br />some homeowners, even if they received market value, would have a hard time finding <br />another home in Centerville. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she would provide the Top 10 goals at the next meeting for <br />the Council to rate. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar indicated he may not be present at the next meeting due to a <br />pending vacation. <br /> <br />Next meeting scheduled for January 22,2003. <br /> <br />Page 19 of20 <br />
