VIL NEW BUSINESS
1. Concept Plan—2021 Commerce Drive (City-owned 2.3 Acre Parcel)
Mr. Mike Brass appeared before the Commission stating that Midwest Best Water Sales,
Inc. submitted a purchase agreement for the property and desired to construct a 25,000
square foot building which they would house 15,000 square feet and rent two 5,000 square
feet spaces.
Mr. Pat McKasy, owner — Midwest Best Water Sales, Inc. introduced himself to the
commission and stated that they assemble, warehouse, service and repair equipment
associated with machines that are installed in grocery stores (Coburns/SuperValu) that
dispense purified water in refillable containers. Mr. McKasy stated that their business is in
14 states with 150 accounts added annually and they have 22 employees with five (5) of
them within their Minnesota facility. He stated that they currently rent space in a building
on Apollo Drive and they desire to own their own building and need additional space. Mr.
McKasy stated that he constructed a home in Centerville years ago and would be happy to
operate his business in the community.
Lengthy discussion was had regarding the current zoning being B-1 Commercial, whether
the business and rental space would fit with the district. Other options, such as rezoning
the parcel to I-1 Industrial or creating a light industrial district were discussed, along with
the potential ramifications of such actions.
In general, the commission seemed welcoming of the business and thought that the site
would be a good place for them, if zoning issues could be worked out. The Commission
thanked Mr. Brass and Mr. McKasy for their time and stated that they would be in contact
with them.
No action was taken on this issue as it was a concept plan submittal.
