M*************** ** *t** *** *** *** *** *** *** ** ***** <br /> * I'm hoping to use a vacation day tomorrow, so this edition of the week in review is being <br /> sent out early. <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 /> * 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 /> * 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 /> * 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 /> * 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 /> 11/16/00 <br />
