<br />City of CentervilIe <br />Planning & Zoning Commission <br />November 14, 2000 <br /> <br />traffic currently and in the future on Centerville Road. Mr. Schoeberlein felt that Center <br />Street is currently unsafe due to the high volume of traffic and was concerned for <br />children's safety. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brainerd stated that the development of the property would be coming in <br />one form or another and suggested that a traffic study be completed to provide the best <br />and safest access to the development. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Broussard Vickers questioned whether Mr. Schoberlein had a driveway <br />easement and, if so, where it was located. Mr. Schoberlein stated that he drives straight <br />out to Centerville Road. <br /> <br />Mr. John Lundbald, 6904 Centerville Road, stated that he had a valid easement that was <br />part of the legal description for his property. <br /> <br />Mr. March indicated it may be easier to address the driveway access issue by eliminating <br />a couple of lots and centering the (2) two homes on the cul-de-sac at the north end of the <br />development to provide better access for the two (2) properties in question. Mr. March <br />stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission needed to determine whether the <br />development met the requirements of a PUD and either approve, deny, or table action. <br /> <br />Commissioner LaMotte questioned. the sewer force main running to the north of the <br />development. Mr. March stated that the Met. Council owned the force main and was in <br />the process of replacing the piping in that area. <br /> <br />Mr. Joe Schwartz, 6882 Centerville Road, stated that he had concerns regarding the <br />proposed trail that would run along his property. Mr. Schwartz stated that moved to <br />Centerville to be outside of the inner city and was upset that the development was <br />commg. <br /> <br />Mr. Mike Carter, 6913 Sumac Court, stated that it could be possible for the development <br />to have houses in place prior to the opening of the new school, which concerned him. <br />Mr. Carter expressed a desire to have a park located within the development rather than <br />receiving park dedication fees. Mr. Carter felt that a park was necessary to prevent <br />children from crossing Main Street to go to the nearest park. Mr. Carter also expressed <br />concern for increased traffic on Center Street. <br /> <br />Ole Mersinger, 6936 Tourville Circle, expressed his concern for the safety of the children <br />along Center Street if traffic volume is increased. <br /> <br />Mr. Hannah, Ground Development, offered to amend the submitted plans to R-2 which <br />would increase the minimum lot size if the City could guarantee approval of the plans by <br />December 15,2000. Mr. Hannah stated that if the City were unable to come to terms by <br />December 15,2000, Ground Development would not be developing the area. Mr. March <br />advised the Commission against making any commitments to an R-2 plan since there <br />would need to be a public hearing on the matter. <br /> <br />Page 5 of 10 <br />
