City Council Meeting Minutes September 9, 1992 page six Ken Vanderbeek, 6892 Centerville Road, proposed Realtor for the development spoke before the City Council. He advised that the perception of most builders is that Centerville is more a mobile home park type atmosphere. He suggested that this could be from the pre-fab in the Royal Meadows area or the type of buildings that have been constructed in the past. He noted that builders do not seem to want to build in the R-5 Zoning District. He noted that he wants to make the project work and suggested that it may be better to change the zoning to R-2A on both sides of the street versus having two different types of homes facing each other across the street. He noted that he is trying to establish a market for R-5 zoning. He also noted that Lino Lakes is obtaining a greater value due to the type of homes being built (example Centerville has no basement lots). He noted that if Centerville would like more R-5 and R-2 zoning, in his opinion, a park and a pond were a must for the development. He did not want to see a muck hole if a dry pond were to be proposed. He advised that he would like this development to look a little bit better and hoped to facilitate this with color coordination and brick fronts. He noted in the development proposed that larger priced homes would also be placed in the R-2A zone. He expressed concern regarding the marketability of the project because this type of development has not been done before in Centerville. Mayor Buckbee advised that he agreed with some comments made by audience members in that the development proposal may not be creative enough. Council member Burgstahler noted the property proposed for the Acorn Creek Development may be one of the only pieces left in Centerville with amenities. He would like to change the image in Centerville, improve the housing style and issue an attractive successful development. Mr. Stewart noted the municipal sewer construction on the proposed Acorn Creek development property to facilitate the Center Hills Third Addition would not begin before October 1, 1992 for sewer installation.
