<br />now removed a portion of her deck to fit the pool in her backyard. She stated that <br />her dealings with City staff were not favorable and informed the Council she was .. <br />not happy with the draft Ordinance #4. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber encouraged Ms. Whittet to address the Council Members on <br />these issues as well as Staff to gain additional information and to not feel shot <br />down from the City. He noted he is always willing to talk with residents on <br />Zoning Code issues and to discuss items in detail. <br /> <br />Greg Sievert, 7254 Mill Road, noted he had concern with the limitation on size of <br />accessory structures. He noted the City is now limiting what can be done on <br />private property but some lots within the City are not in compliance. Mr. Sievert <br />explained he would like to put up an accessory structure to house his recreational <br />vehicles to eliminate the eyesores of outside storage, but he would exceed the 2% <br />mandate. <br /> <br />Mr. Sievert indicated he has lived in the City for eleven (11) years and would like <br />to maintain his residence. He noted it was only fair for the public to ask for <br />accessory structures and not be told within the Ordinance what they can and can <br />not do with their property. <br /> <br />Mr. Sievert noted numerous residents would not even try to test the limits of the <br />City and may stop trying to improve their property. He encouraged the City to <br />keep the Ordinance friendly to encourage residents to approach the City. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked for an alternative to the 2% minimum. <br />Mr. Sievert stated he is more in favor of the current Ordinance than the past but <br />would like to see the percentage raised. Council Member Nelson concurred that <br />this Ordinance is trying to make things fair for all residents of the City. <br /> <br />Charles Patraw, 1829 Prairie Drive, noted he stopped in last week to discuss the <br />Ordinance with Mr. March. He explained he has lived in this City for six (6) <br />years and asked if a light could be added at Main Street and 35W. Mr. Patraw <br />noted this is a high traffic area with high speeds, numerous accidents and injuries. <br />He indicated the City is getting bigger and has additional traffic. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis noted Mr. Olson, the County Engineer, was presented <br />with this issue last fall and noted County Commissioner Langfeld would be <br />addressing MnDOT on this issue. Mayor Wilharber stated this intersection is in <br />the City of Lino Lakes and he has talked to the Mayor in this City regarding the <br />speed and safety at this intersection. <br /> <br />Mr. Patraw noted he would like to start a petition for this stoplight to gain <br />awareness and safety within the City ofCenterville. Mayor Wilharber stated this <br />would be left to MnDOT but he could present the Council with a petition for a <br />light from the residents of Centerville. <br /> <br />Mr. Sievert asked if a feasibility study was given to Anoka County and the DNR <br />as to the projected road use. Council Member Sweeney noted the City has higher <br />numbers than projected at this time and traffic will only continue to increase over <br />2 <br /> <br />L____ <br />
