OLD BUSINESS 1.Driveway and Residential Parking Ordinance Revisions Page 1 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission May 5, 2020 Administrator Statz outlined the discussion by reviewing what the code currently says about outdoor storage/parking on residential lots and what changes are being proposed. A memo and draft ordinance language was provided in the packet. Discussion ensued regarding various aspects of the ordinances. Much of the discussion revolved around commercial vehicles and/or the size and weight of a vehicle. Consensus seemed to be reached on a few items: tractor trailers should not be allowed on residential property commercial vehicles should not be allowed in side or rear yards vehicles parked in the driveway should not hang into the right-of-way still looking to increase the total number of allowed vehicles stored off the driveway to be 3, rather than the current ordinance of 2 there could be a limitation on large vehicl The conversation then moved to try to resolve the driveway width issue, rather than let that part of the ordinance changes be held up by the larger, more complex discussion of parking and storage. Administrator Statz reviewed the proposed language for driveway width. There was general consensus that the proposed language was satisfactory. Planner Carlson reviewed some situations in cul-de-sacs that would need to be addressed in the ordinance. Discussion was whether to have restrictions based on a set width or a percentage of the width. Consensus seemed to be reached on a 2/3 lot width restriction on driveway width. Motion by Commissioner Fehrenbacher, seconded by Commissioner Haiden to recommended approval of Sections 6 & 7 of the proposed draft ordinance with the following modifications: addition of the 2/3 lot width restriction in cul-de-sacs note that the allowed width includes any flares A roll call vote was taken. All in favor. Motion carried. The agenda item discussion continued, getting back to the subjects of vehicle parking/storage on residential lots. Aerial photos were reviewed to establish what types of scenarios exist around town. Further consensus seemed to be reached on additional items: Rather than say that a vehicle cannot hang in block a sidewalk or be a certain distance from items allowed in the back yard. The vehicle should be registered to the owner or renter of the property. Divide items into two different lists (smaller and larger) Page 2 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission May 5, 2020 No further action was taken on the remaining articles. Consensus was to take up those issues at a future meeting. VII. NEW BUSINESS 1. None VIII. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 1. None Chairperson Mosher called for changes to the meeting minutes. None were offered.

The entire table of what is allowed and what is not during the various phases can be found here: https://mn.gov/covid19/for-minnesotans/stay-safe-mn/stay-safe-plan.jsp City Hall City Hall will continue to be closed to the public while community-based transmission of most recent directives, we will also be continuing to have staff work from home, as noted, even for Critical Sector employees, those who can, must telework. On June 26, City Hall will be open and staffed for in-person, early voting, activities only. All other items such as permitting, bill paying will be completed online. Public Works Our public works crews are back to normal work schedules, with increased social distancing measures in place to protect them and ensure the sustainable workforce needed for our critical infrastructure. Parks Playgrounds are now open as encouraged Meetings Executive Order 20-56 states: Legislative and other governmental meetings. The limits on gatherings in this Executive Order do not apply to legislative and other governmental meetings. Remote meetings are strongly encouraged whenever possible. With this in mind, all Committee and Commission meetings (P&Z, P&R, EDA, and CC) will continue to be held via Zoom, a videoconferencing application. The meetings are also broadcast live on North Metro TV and streamed on their website. Additionally, meeting connection information is being posted on the website and will be widely for the public to be able to request an opportunity to be recognized by the chair. We are making every effort to allow public viewing and participation of our meetings while physical access to city hall is not available. erville Elementary School Plat The school has now received all releases and is having their surveyors draw the plat accordingly and record it at the county. With this action, we should be able to official close out this issue. Rebranding The City Council will need to decide what an appropriate timeframe would be for a roll-out of rebranding initiatives. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Economic Development Authority (EDA) CenterStage Recent CenterStage featured businesses are: Asian to Go WiseGuys Pizza A Home Enhanced Business names are being randomly selected from our business directory. The initiative hopes to feature 2 businesses a week, for the foreseeable future. The EDA is funding the program with money previously earmarked for a rebranding effort in their 2020 budget. 2020 Strategic Plan Representatives from the EDA will presented their strategic plan at the Parks & Recreation nd Meetings on June 2. Also discussed, were ways the two committees can work together to further the goals of the city. 1737 Main Street A realty sign has now been placed on the site and Mr. Brass is free to market the site to potential developers. EDA Revolving Loan and Grant Program The EDA recently met and reevaluated their Revolving Loan and Grant Program. In order to attract more applications, the EDA reduced the matching requirement for the grant portion of the program to a 1:1 match. Meaning for a $10,000 project, a property could receive a $5,000 grant. The maximum grant remains at $5,000. Businesses may receive one grant every 5 years. Interstate Blue Logo Sign Program The EDA recently established the Intersta restaurants, gas stations and other qualifying attractions, can now apply for their establishments to be featured on the blue signs you see on the interstate. The EDA will more consumers to our area, from the freeway. Quad Area Chamber of Commerce Eat Local Campaign The Quad Area Chamber of Commerce is teaming with the Lino Lakes Rotary Club to help local restaurants by purchasing signs for them to place outside, letting folks know that they are open for take-out and delivery options. Minnesota Technology Corridor The EDA voted to participate, financially, in a Data Center Feasibility Report, from consultant Excipio. The assessment includes detailed financial analysis of state and other tax incentives as well as an analysis of power and broadband availability. Having this evaluation done, is much like certifying a site much more marketable to the data center market. The Executive Director was given parameters within which to negotiate Small Business Relief Grants (DEED) The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) will oversee the Minnesota Small Business Relief Grants Program approved by the Minnesota State Legislature and signed by Gov. Tim Walz on June 16, 2020. This program will make available $10,000 grants to Minnesotan owned and operated businesses that can demonstrate financial hardship as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. A total of $60.3 million is available for grant awards which will be selected through a computer-generated, randomized selection process. Awards will be disbursed and administered by qualified local and regionally based nonprofit organizations. Grant funds received by individual businesses shall be used for working capital to support payroll expenses, rent, mortgage payments, utility bills, and other similar expenses that occur or have occurred since March 1, 2020, in the regular course of business. These are grants and no repayment will be required. Applications for the Small Business Relief Grant Program are now open and will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 2. https://mn.gov/deed/business/financing-business/deed-programs/relief/ Anoka County Regional Economic Development (ACRED) The Marketing subcommittee continues to plan for scheduled events in the fall of 2020, such as the MNCAR Expo, which is a gathering of real estate professionals. North Metro Real Estate Summit The North Metro Real Estate Summit, produced in conjunction with the Minnesota Real Estate Journal, which was scheduled for September is being converted into a virtual event. Business 4 Business Greater MSP, the Minnesota Consortium of Community Developers (MCCD) and Counties are joining together with other partners, like local Chambers of Commerce to develop a program called Business 4 Business. The program will rely on donations from businesses who are successfully navigating the current crisis. Then, small businesses, of less than 20 employees, a non-home based location and less than $1 M in annual revenue will be allowed to apply for grants of $7,500 and/or technical assistance, funded through that pool of money. FINANCE Fund Balance and City Hall Renovation Financing Plan A city hall renovation finance plan is on the agenda for this work session along with a COVID-19 Relief Programs Staff is keeping tabs on draft legislation that would make available federal funds for COVID- 19 relief to cities, offsetting expenses related to the pandemic. Below, is a draft chart showing the potential funding available to us under one draft of the bill. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Old Mill Estates The developer is working on buttoning up the Phase I improvements. Work remaining, includes the construction of trails and sidewalks, wear course paving and general site stabilization and finish grading. An extension to the time of performance for a few pieces of infrastructure on Phase I was granted at the last City Council meeting. The extension goes to the end of 2020 and appears to be a reasonable request. The city still holds a substantial letter of credit to ensure these elements are completed. A letter from the developer also outlines their approach to the timing of development for Phase II. Bay View Villas (Waterworks Site) The developer continues to work on site clean-up, restoration and landscaping. 7241 Main Street The prospective developer of this property recently contacted the city to reengage in the process of subdividing the property into 2 or 3 lots. We anticipate a sketch plan in the near future. Block 7 Property After the City Council Work Session in late April, regarding the Block 7 redevelopment project, staff reengaged with the developer to discuss the possibility of approaching the project without the use of Tax Increment Financing.

Who know the last 4 months of your career would be so interesting. Also retiring in July will be Lieutenant Russ Blanck, our investigative and administrative leader. Rus has been instrumental in helping the department navigate complex cases involving multiple agencies, including the FBI, leading to large drug seizures and important arrests. He also led the implementation of the body-worn camera program, ahead of many other departments.
