City ofCenterville City Council Meeting October 9,1996 Livable Communities Act - Resolution 96-34 MOTION by Helmbrecht, seconded by Brenner to approve resolution 96-34. Motion carried unanimously. Rehbein's preliminary plat approval for Willow Glen - Helmbrecht stressed the idea of a park. Gerald Rehbein suggested the association decided where they would like to put the park. Powers-Rasmussen asked Bright Key developer Dave Grimmelman, the percentage of children in the other developments. Grimmelman said approximately 25% of the townhomes in Woodbury have children, although the homes are not designed for children. Helmbrecht stated there is another park across 20th Avenue which is a 50 mile an hour road. Wilharber addressed the concerns of the Planning and Zoning: road width, play area, unit density and if the association would have rental units. Nyberg suggested inserting additional parking in the plans. Rehbein could, but it would eliminate some berms. Nyberg felt the north side should have more berms because Lino can build light industrial right up to the north side ofthe development. Wi/harber asked about the letter from Nyberg. Nyberg addressed concerns with drainage easements, grading, off street parking; suggesting additional parking, private streets to each townhome without curb and gutter and staging the buildings. March asked how does the timing of this project and TIP work together. Rehbein will prepare a 150 foot pad for a spring project and the city and him could talk about T.I.F. all winter. Nyberg suggested Rehbein make a commitment to the city when the whole development will be completed. Helmbrecht stated she would like to see a park. Rehbein said they could put in a park if that is what the city wants. Pamela Bums, 7961 W Robin Lane suggested the council address the need for parks with the growth the city is experiencing. Rehbein said if the city wants a park they will have a park. Cathleen Rodgers 7175 W. Robin Ln, asked what would happen if the builder built half of the homes and they couldn't sell the townhomes. March explained the disbursement agreement would help insure the development ofthe area. Nyberg said the area would be more appealing to another developer with the streets and utilities in place. Further, the area could be developed with single family homes. The City would have to address T.I.F. to know for sure. Nyberg said several things would remain undone like Eagle Pass that would be completed as they go. Council elected to allow Rehbein to grade and do excavating, prior to preliminary plat approval. March stated if the preliminary plat is approved and Gerald elects to begin to work on the project he does so at his on risk. Rehbein said yes he understands. Letter from Gerald Rehbein - Nyberg explained Gerald Rehbein would like MSA to work with him on the flood plain issue on the 80 acre parcel off35E. Brenner questioned what benefit would this be to Centerville. MOTION by Helmbrecht, seconded by Brenner to have staff work with the Attorney and Engineers as what does this mean to Centerville and what is the benefit. March suggested doing some research and receiving a memo back from Nyberg and bring it back to council. 3
