II. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE III. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Motion by Krueger, seconded by Twohy to approve the agenda as presented. All in favor. Motion carried. IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS (6:30 PM or shortly thereafter) 1. Conditional Use Permit Re The following people addressed the Committee during the public hearing: Chris Loomis, 7248 LaValle Drive o Why have slips been sold if the total number of slips was not finalized? o Asked about drainage through culvert between lakes. Concerned that docks may impede flow. Jim Boo High Point Realty o Explained that the market has driven the change in the amount of slips. The initial builder that the developer had worked with felt that not all the upland homes would want dock access, but the current buyers have all expressed interest and several leads have walked away after they were told that dock access may not be available to them. Page 1 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission February 4, 2020 Don Skelly High Point Realty o o Has been in communication with City Attorney on issues related to docs. o One HOA, with different dues for those on the lake vs. those off the lake. Nick Sindt, 7268 Mound Court o Asked if any studies had been done on overall number of docks (boats) the lake could sustain. Motion by Commissioner Mosher, seconded by Commissioner Krueger to close the Public Hearing at 6:52 PM. All in favor. Motion carried. Administrator Statz explained that no studies have been done, but that with half or more of the lakeshore occupied by a reginal park, the overall density of docks (boats) on the lake, is certainly not more than most suburban lakes. He also assured the commission that the docks would not impede the flow of water between the lakes. V. AWARDS, PRESENTATIONS & APPEARANCES 1. None VI. OLD BUSINESS 1. None VII. NEW BUSINESS 1. Conditional use Permit Re Commissioners debated the various issues, with consensus being that there was not a large concern regarding the overall issue of dock or boat density and that the main concerns were the aesthetics of such a large complex of docks. The commission felt strongly that the City Council should be given at least two options to review for the layout of the docks, prior to approval of the Conditional Use Permit revisions. Motion by Commissioner Twohy, seconded by Commissioner Olson to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit Revision, by the City Council with the stipulation that the Council should be presented with at least two layout options for the docks. All in favor. Motion carried. 2. Administrator Statz presented a preliminary plat for a Lino Lakes development that would abut portions of Centerville. There are no road connections proposed between the two communities. All traffic would be directed out to one of two county roads adjacent to the development. There was some discussion over drainage from the development coming onto adjacent property in Page 2 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission February 4, 2020 Centerville and the fact that the plans seemed to show grading and an outlet pipe on said property. The commission did not feel that those encroachments should be allowed. Administrator Statz would convey the commissions concerns to the City of Lino Lakes. No formal action taken 3. Review of Off-Street Parking in Downtown The commission was presented with three locations in the downtown where the current parking configuration is not in line with city code. With the pending street reconstruction project in the area, city staff was asking to look at ways to bring these areas into compliance, being sensitive to the needs of those businesses, institutions and residents. The commission had some discussion of options, including diagonal or parallel parking spots. Mr. Tom Wilharber was in attendance to address the parking issues related to the church. He stated that a church has been at this location (on Sorel Street) since 1854. He was appreciative of the issues relating to the code, but hoped something could be worked out to preserve the parking spots. Staff was asked to bring back on-street parking sketches No formal action taken VIII. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 1.

AWARDS, PRESENTATIONS & APPEARANCES 1. None VI. OLD BUSINESS th 1. Appeal of Zoning Administrator Decision-Witzel Companies, 7129 20 Avenue Lighting Nuisance Administrator Statz explained that several months ago, he, acting as the Zoning Administrator issued a letter to Witzel Companies regarding their exterior lighting, stating that it was causing a public nuisance and requiring the nuisance to be mitigated. Mr. Witzel, owner, of Witzel Companies subsequently appealed that decision and was heard by the appeal board (the P&Z Commission). During the hearing, Mr. Witzel agreed to mitigate the situation by installing a Page 1 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission March 10, 2020 shield or different fixture, screening the light from the neighbors. With this promise, the P&Z Commission tabled the appeal. To date Mr. Witzel has not completed this task. After a brief discussion, the P&Z Commission took action as detailed below. Motion by Commissioner Fehrenbacher, seconded by Commissioner Haiden to affirm the decision of the Zoning Administrator. All in favor. Motion carried. 2. Off Street Parking in Downtown Staff presented various arrangements of on and off-street parking for the 3 locations in downtown that will be affected by the street reconstruction project. The Commission discussed these parking spaces, the business impacts of eliminating them and the connection to the downtown master plan. The consensus was to trade these parking spaces for parallel spaces, in accordance with the Downtown Master Plan, where practical. The downtown street project, is programmed to build some parallel parking on the south side of Sorel St. to accommodate a future business on the first floor of an apartment building and adding parallel parking spaces along the north side of Sorel St. from Centerville Rd to Progress St and in front of the church's property would compliment that arrangement. Motion by Commissioner Fehrenbacher, seconded by Commissioner Haiden to recommend utilizing parallel on-street parking to replace non-conforming spaces lost to the street reconstruction, where feasible. All in favor. Motion carried. 3. Centerville Storage-Revised Site Plan Staff presented a revised site layout for the proposed Centerville Storage project. It removes the northernmost building and extends the two middle buildings to the north about 40 feet each. This is done because they could not reach an agreement with the neighboring property owner to the north to vacate the ingress/egress easement. The new layout does not increase impervious area, the number of units or expand the footprint of the development. In some areas, there is a reduction in the impacts. Motion by Commissioner Haiden, seconded by Commissioner Fehrenbacher to recommend approval the revised site plan as presented. All in favor. Motion carried. VII. NEW BUSINESS nd 1. Old Mill Estates 2 Addition nd Staff presented the proposed final plat for Old Mill Estates 2 Addition. The Final Plat is similar in nature to the Preliminary Plat, approved by City Council. Motion by Commissioner Olson, seconded by Commissioner Krueger to recommend nd approval of the Final Plat for Old Mill Estates 2 Addition. All in favor. Motion carried. 2. Interim Ordinance-Group Living Uses Page 2 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission March 10, 2020 Administrator Statz explained to the commission that there was a likelihood that the city could see another application for a Memory Care Facility similar in nature to Atlas Villas, but potentially much larger. Given the fact that Atlas Villas was approved via an Interim Use Permit, for the purposes of monitoring their fist year of operation, to get a sense of their impact on community ng additional facilities to the city under the same circumstances, magnified the risk of unintended difficulties dealing with these establishments. Therefore, staff is recommending an interim ordinance to allow time for the city to evaluate the performance of their first such facility, so they may better regulate future ones. The commission understood the position of staff and after some discussion came to a consensus to support the interim ordinance. Motion by Commissioner Fehrenbacher, seconded by Commissioner Krueger to recommend approval of the interim ordinance as presented. All in favor. Motion carried. VIII. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 1. None IX. Announcements and Updates 1. Council Member Liaison 2. X. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Commissioner Haiden seconded by Commissioner Krueger to adjourn the meeting at 7:44 PM. All in favor. Motion carried.
