<br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Conncil Members <br /> <br />From: The Centerville Economic Development Committee <br /> <br />Date: September 16, 2004 <br /> <br />Subject: Downtown Revitalization <br /> <br />This letter is submitted with interest and support for the "downtown area" of Centerville. We, as <br />a committee, strongly hope our City Council will propose a project in the near future for the <br />revitalization of the downtown area. We feel the timing of this project is very important due to <br />the upgrading of County Road 14 in 2006. <br /> <br />Many discussions have taken place regarding the downtown area. Community and professional <br />input were accomplished when the Minnesota Design T earn provided direction for the future, not <br />only for the downtown area, but for the entire city, six years ago. The topic has been on our <br />agenda for over 10 years. At one point a petition for city water from an adequate amount of <br />property owners in the downtown area was presented. We do understand property owners do not <br />like assessments, but unfortunately the infrastructure wears out and needs repair with better and <br />newer capabilities. No city water, an old sewer and limited storm drains are presently what we <br />have. The area is zoned mixed use and a 'zero lot line' type setback is allowed. With this type <br />of use and two county roads intersecting the downtown area, the future growth will transform to <br />more commercial than residential or a creative combination of both. <br /> <br />We suggest the revitalization project would include; city water, city sewer, storm drainage, <br />curbs, sidewalks, lighting, asphalt, and streetscapes. There have been ideas discussed and <br />estimates done. There are most likely various grants and/or funding available to help all <br />involved to hopefully produce a cost effective project for the beautification and infrastructure <br />improvements of the downtown area. Let us all work with a positive approach to accomplish the <br />project as a community. <br /> <br />Our committee is available to help with processes involved to not only initiate, but also to <br />support the city through the entire revitalization project. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />The City of Centerville Economic Development Committee <br /> <br />Chairperson PlUll Burke <br />Vice--Chairperson Eileen Smith <br />Committee Member Tim Rehbine <br />Committee Member Scott Ebel <br />Committee Member John Fischbach <br /> <br />. <br />
