• <br /> Mr. DeVine, a member of the audience and Planning and Zoning, questioned whether the <br /> revised plat was for a PUD or for R -2 zoning as the developer had indicated he would <br /> resubmit to reflect R -2 zoning. Mr. March stated that the developer had changed his <br /> mind in regards to R -2 zoning and submitted a revised plat for PUD. <br /> Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated her desire to have staff obtain information <br /> on the school boundaries and the MUSA Comprehensive Plan for the City of Lino Lakes. <br /> Council Member Broussard Vickers stated that she would like Council to review the <br /> information and discuss plans to coordinate development with the City of Lino Lakes so <br /> that Centerville is not negatively impacted by having a large number of children from <br /> outside of the City boundaries attending Centerville schools. <br /> Mayor Wilharber proposed having a joint meeting with the school district and the City of <br /> Lino lakes concerning development and its impact on the school district. <br /> Council Member Broussard Vickers stated that the Comprehensive Plan has been <br /> available for three (3) years and the school district should not have been surprised by the <br /> proposed Pheasant Marsh development. Council Member Broussard Vickers stated that <br /> she would like to get the information concerning the school boundaries and MUSA plans <br /> for the City of Lino Lakes prior to the joint meeting. Mr. March stated that residents of <br /> Centerville along with the City Council need to have a strong voice when the school <br /> boundaries are redrawn.

The library has also been converted to classrooms that <br /> do not have doors which is very distracting. The issue of overcrowding needs to be <br /> addressed to provide a quality education for the children of Centerville. <br /> Mayor Wilharber stated that all one needs to do is to speak with teachers and <br /> administrators at the schools to understand why enrollment is high. Parents want their <br /> children to go to Centerville schools. He took issue with an article in the Quad <br /> Community Press that stated older people and people with no children typically vote <br /> against the school bond issues. Mayor Wilharber stated that he, his wife, and his elderly <br /> mother all voted in favor of the school bond as children are the future and it is very <br /> important to provide a quality education for them. <br /> Council Member Sweeney stated that the City needed to look at this issue carefully to <br /> ensure that Centerville is not negatively impacted due to growth in the City of Lino Lakes <br /> and that growth's affect on the school district. <br /> Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated there were residents who were unhappy <br /> with the traffic the new development would bring. There was one resident who was upset <br /> and surprised that there would be a trail running along his property line. He was under <br /> the impression that the undeveloped area next to his property was a nature area. There <br /> were comments from those concerned for the impact on the school district. There was <br /> also a concern for the driveways of two (2) residents to the north of the development. <br /> Mayor Wilharber questioned how those two (2) residents currently access their property. <br /> Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated one (1) of the residents had indicated he <br /> Page 6 of 9 <br />
