<br />City of Centerville <br />City Council Meeting <br />August 12, 2009 <br />Mayor Capra inquired whether they could delay discussion on this until the next City Council Meeting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Paar stated that he would like to discuss high-density ratings on some areas and that the <br />high density concerns him. He added that he does not believe it would be a good idea to have high- <br />value property abut high-density apartments. However, townhomes or a senior facility could be an <br />option. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra replied that she does not know where else the City would have land for high density. This <br />is the plan to put Centerville up to its 5,000+ population. <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz stated that there is a need for high density somewhere in Centerville. <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard Vickers suggested that high-density projects come to the City in a PUD <br />fashion. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued. <br /> <br />Councilmember Paar stated that the land in the proposed area is damp in some spots, and they have <br />trouble with the roads now. He inquired whether it will be able to sustain the traffic levels and added <br />that they need to be smart on how to regulate high density. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra stated that this will be on the next City Council meeting agenda. <br /> <br /> Motion by Council Member Lee, seconded by Council Member Paar, to table consideration of <br />Res. #09-0XX, Planning & Zoning Commission’s Recommendation to Approve the City’s 2030 <br />Comprehensive Plan until the next City Council Meeting. All in favor. Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br /> <br />2.Parks & Recreation Committee Recommendation to Release Final Payment to Bonestroo for <br />Engineering Services - $4,472.21 (Hidden Spring Park) <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz reported that Bonestroo has worked to resolve issues at Hidden Spring Park and <br />were willing to forego billing until all issues were taken care of. Since all issues are now taken care of, <br />they are requesting the final payment. <br /> <br />Councilmember Lee stated that the Parks & Recreation Committee agreed that all issues regarding <br />Bonestroo had been resolved to their satisfaction. <br /> <br />Councilmember Paar stated that the shoreline looks good and he has been told that it will get better. He <br />inquired about what they have to assure that this will keep working. <br /> <br />Councilmember Lee stated that the Parks & Recreation Committee felt comfortable enough to sign off <br />on it. <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz stated that he believes it is working quite well. <br /> <br />Councilmember Paar stated that he appreciates Bonestroo taking responsibility and doing what had to be <br />done. <br />Page 6 of 11 <br /> <br />
