I'm hoping to use a vacation day tomorrow, so this edition of the week in review is being <br />sent out early. <br /> <br />* The house across the street from City Hall was removed this week. The property owner <br />is petitioning to have the property rezoned to commercial. I believe this would make a nice <br />addition to the limited commercial base that we have in the community. <br /> <br />* We received notice from the Minnesota Department of Employee Relations that the City <br />is in compliance with the Minnesota Pay Equity Act. The next report is due in January of <br />2003. <br /> <br />* I have received notice that Mady Reiter is resigning as the Centennial Lakes Police <br />Commission Chair due to her successful outcome in the recent election. I am sure the <br />police department is already in the process of recruiting a new commission chair. <br /> <br />* The planned unit development public hearing for the proposed Pheasant Marsh was held <br />on Tuesday. Several residents were in attendance to provide input to the planning and <br />zoning committee. The committee voted to make a recommendation to reject the PUD <br />based on the fact that the proposed plat did not contain the mandatory 20% of common <br />open space. The developer intends to resubmit a new plat that would conform to the City's <br />R2 standard of 15,000 square foot minimum lot sizes. This would cause them to lose <br />several lots from the previous submittal. The developer indicated at the meeting that they <br />would be willing to time their development so that new homes would not be occupied until <br />the new elementary school was built. If they reapply, there will be another public hearing at <br />the next planning and zoning committee meeting. <br /> <br />* The variance request for a larger sign for Schlavin Chiropractic was recommended for <br />denial. The planning and zoning committee is currently working to revise the sign <br />ordinance and they will be considering allowing larger home based businesss signs for <br />those businesses that are adjacent to County Roads. Their next workshop is scheduled for <br /> <br />11/16/00 <br />
