r Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Planning and Zoning Commission of Centerville held a public hearing April 6, 1987, at 7:00 PM. Present: Welk, Lindgren, Buesseler, Vermeulen, Chairman Tourville, Council Liaison - Neumann. The purpose was to hear all persons regarding the possibility of amending Ordinance #4 to include an R -2A zoning district that will accomodate 10,000 square foot lots. Dick Wedell and John Johnson, representatives of Harstad and Merila and Associates were present for discussion of the proposed R -2A zoning district. In their opinion, the R -2A zoning district would make the Centerville area compet- itive with other cities and increase the cost distribution of sanitary sewer. Brad Gulsvig, 7246 Mill Road expressed concern about the location of his house to the proposed Harstad Project pro- perty line and the possibility of a home on the lot adja- cent to his being built too close to his pre - existing home. He was also concerned about possible drainage problems. Mr. Johnson advised that Mr. Gulsvig's first concern could possibly be built into the project and would be an issue for the preliminary plat hearing. Mr. Johnson advised that the drainage system is built into the project. Rice Creek Watershed District still has to review the project. The predevelopment drainage must be the same as after develop- ment drainage. Discussion "Permitted Principal Uses" and "Uses Permitted on Special Use Permit" in Table A - Schedule of District Regulations were discussed. Opposition by all P & Z members was expressed for all of the "Uses Permitted on Special Use Permit." Opposition was also expressed regarding, "Two Family Dwellings" under "Permitted Principal Uses ", but members felt there may be a need in the future for two family dwell- ings and agreed to delete it from "Permitted Principal Uses" and add it to "Uses Permitted on Special Use Permit ". Mr. Johnson suggested that if a future use for any of the original special use items were to occur, the City could leave a small area of the development zonded as R -2 to accomodate that particular special use item. Commission member Buessler felt that if any or all of Article 3, Section 34.01 -2 were deleted the Section would not be appropriate for an R -2 zoning district. He suggested adding an exception with regard to R -2A zoning to simplify the poss- ible ammendment and encompass both zoning districts. Other
