<br />r <br /> <br />City of Centerville <br />Planning & Zoning Commission <br />November 14, 2000 <br /> <br />the average price of homes comparative to the amount of children that reside in same and <br />the general impact on the school as a result of the proposed development. <br /> <br />Mr. Cooper stated that one of the PUD requirements consist of dedicating 20% of open <br />space within the development. Mr. Cooper addressed this issue and stated that 21.7% <br />open space has been allowed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brainerd questioned whether the certificate of occupancy could be <br />contingent upon whether the new school is open for enrollment. <br /> <br />Mr. March indicated he had received various input from area businesses and residents <br />concerning the development. Some in favor of and some against. Mr. March stated that <br />three areas concerned him with the plans submitted. Mr. March also stated that <br />Centerville Road, as the developer indicated, is capable of handling 7,000 to 8,000 trips <br />per day. However, it currently is handling that many trips and the developer would need <br />to speak to Anoka County to receive a permit to access Centerville Road from the <br />development. Mr. March stated that the developer had indicated the reason he was <br />applying for a PUD was to have a variety of lot sizes, and that this is misleading due to <br />the current City Code that allows for various lot sizes with standard residential platting. <br />The open space requirement for PUD' s has not been met in this case, as the open space is <br />required to be useable land that is not private land. The developer has dedicated a <br />wetland and space in the backyards of the available lots as open space and that is not <br />currently allowed by City Code. <br /> <br />Mr. March submitted a letter from the developer addressing the issues requested by the <br />City. Mr. March also submitted a letter from the Superintendent of Schools stating the <br />school district is operating above capacity and will be doing so until the opening of the <br />new school in the fall of 2002. Mr. March indicated the current proposal submitted by <br />Ground Development does not meet the requirements for a PUD. <br /> <br />Ms. Buckbee questioned how open spaces could be private but could not be in private <br />yards. Ms. Buckbee questioned whether the City of Lino Lakes had received a similar <br />letter from the Superintendent of Schools. Mr. March explained that the area dedicated <br />for open space within the development needed to be land not included in private lots <br />individual owned. Mr. March also informed Ms. Buckbee that it was his understanding <br />that the City of Lino Lakes had received a similar letter from the Superintendent of <br />Schools. <br /> <br />Commissioner McLean questioned whether the development was in line with the City's <br />Comprehensive Plan. Mr. March concurred. <br /> <br />Ms. Lori Peterson, 7065 Dupre Road, expressed her concern that Dupre Road would be a <br />thoroughfare for traffic going out of the development to Center Street. <br /> <br />Mr. Cooper believed 2/3 of the traffic would flow north to Center Street. <br /> <br />Mr. Wes Schoeberlein, 6906 Centerville Road, expressed several concerns; current <br />capacity ofCenterville Elementary, exit and entry to the development and the amount of <br /> <br />Page 4 of 10 <br />
