Special Thanks to everyone who attended the Preliminary Meeting for the Design Team (Tuesday, Aug. 25, 1998)! Great ideas for a great start! Concerns Regarding Centerville • With growth, noise level is too high, especially along the main traveled roads through town. • Too many cars & too many people already. • The unappealing and "cluttered look" with the current downtown businesses. • Community pride • Poor water quality of Lakes, especially with new developments. • Garbage from Waterworks in lakes and around shores. • Underage drinking at Waterworks. Waterworks & Main Str. too much a police "troubled area." • Current parks are too "tucked away ", dark and not very inviting. Would Never Like To See In Centerville • No new businesses in what is considered the current downtown area. • No new bars in Centerville. • No freeways through Centerville. (14 or Main Str., grand plan for future highways can be found at public library.) • No new duplexes or multiple- unit - housing complexes in Centerville (excluding Senior Housing) • Never allow businesses on city's vacant land (Sorel Str. & Centerville Rd.) Would Like To See Chanced In Centerville • Move all businesses down east toward freeway area -- Keep all businesses in the same area, not peppered throughout the town. • Create a new area for "Downtown" (i.e. - more towards 35, 20th & Main) Turn current downtown area into residential area. • Clean up look of current Centerville businesses. Give them more of a quaint look. Get rid of multiple buildings per business, especially those that are falling apart. • Restore buildings and homes in Centerville to original condition. • Get regulations or covenants for businesses & homes "in the books" so as to ensure consistent and constant esthetic appeal. • Take down old public works buildings on Sorel Str. and move out of downtown area and closer to 20th & 14. Keep all city offices together. \A /:.J.... AA..:.. C\.....• �1, kv - M ck6,-t ,S .
