II. ITEMS OF DISCUSSION
1. Rehbein Black Dirt Interim Use Permit
Administrator Statz stated that last evening, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public
Hearing on the extension of an Interim Use Permit (IUP) for Rehbein Black Dirt. At the hearing,
thst
staff presented information on the pile of dirt between 20 and 21 Avenues which has been in
existence for 15+ years. Several years ago, the city took action to require the pile to be governed
by an Interim Use Permit since it was not allowed under City Code. The IUP had an expiration
date, by which the dirt was required to be moved. When that date came and the dirt was not gone,
a second IUP was issued, with tightened restrictions. At this time, that second IUP is about to
expire and the dirt, again, has not been moved. Therefore, the commission is forced to decide on
whether or not to again extend the permit. In the end, the Planning and Zoning Commission
proposed to issue a new, 2-year, IUP with a Letter of Credit (LOC) required at the end of the first
year. The LOC would be based upon $2/cubic yards of material stockpiled on site. The
recommendation of the P & Z Commission was to issue the new IUP with same terms as the last
one, but adding the LOC requirement.

Council Meeting Minutes
December 9, 2020
The commission did take comment from the public, but comments were minimal and expressed
varying opinions.
Attorney Glaser spoke about the economic incentive built in to the IUP with the LOC and
mentioned that the landowner is in agreement with the terms of the proposed terms.
Council Member Koski, liaison to the Planning and Zoning Commission said that a lot of good
discussion took place and for the most part all agreed with LOC requirements. It was noted that
there were comments made regarding whether the city should be telling property owners what they
can do with property. Mr. Koski also questioned whether the $200,000 would be enough to move
the material off the site. Administrator Statz stated that the intent would be to simply level the
material out, so the costs would be much less than hauling it out.
Council Member Lakso thought there was fair enough notice built into the IUP and was happy that
it addresses the important issues. Administrator Statz said the intent was to develop the land into
industrial uses similar to Distribution Alternatives in Lino Lakes. United Properties held an option
on the land, but it had expired. Council Member Lakso was comfortable with the recommendation.
Council Member Wilharber asked whether there were any complaints regarding the dirt pile.
Administrator Statz stated that for the most part no, but when complaints are received, the
quests, such as to clean streets, fix erosion control, etc. Mr.
Wilharber further asked about any issues with the watershed. Mr. Statz stated that several years
ago the original IUP contained language requiring the submittal of a Storm Water Management
Plan (SWMP). After some discussions with the Rehbe
from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). The MPCA decided since the dirt
operation was not an active construction site and was not one of their identified industrial uses
which required a permit, no SWMP was needed. For the next IUP, specific erosion control
measures were incorporated, without requiring a SWMP. Nothing about their operation is
regulated through the watershed, again because it is not an active construction site or development.
Council Member Wilharber said this issue has been going on way, way back and as Council
Member Lakso said, we may have missed chances for development due to the pile being there. He
stated that he would not likely be in favor of extending and would probably be voting against.
Mayor Love would like to have the property developed but understood that it is
to push someone into development. However, the Black Dirt business is not allowed under city
code and an IUP with limited duration has been a fair compromise. The issue as he sees it is that
we do not have a practical way to shut them down and remove the pile if they do not comply with
the permit terms. He felt the LOC solution was the best way to do that.
Council Member Koski noted that the commission reviewed some minor IUP violations that had
largely been addressed already, but will be correcting the remaining items in the spring.
Discussion ensued regarding the property being valued at $3/sq. and about 7 million worth total.
Administrator Statz said it was not likely to go tax forfeit, however, if the market crashed on
industrial land and when you have Forest Lake giving away similar land for $1 it seems prudent
to be protected in a worst-case scenario. Council Member Koski asked if we are collecting for
hauling dirt out of the site. Administrator Statz stated that the city collected roughly $10,000 -
$15,000/year. Mr. Koski struggles with the idea of pushing a business out, but would love to see
Page 2 of 19

Council Meeting Minutes
December 9, 2020
a new business use the site for what it is zoned. Council Member Koski is concerned that the City
does not get carried away and push businesses out for no reason. Mayor Love said he is glad we
are having a conversation about a business that is abiding by the rules and not a business that is
being a bad neighbor. Administrator Statz reiterated that the IUP does not mention a requirement
to develop or sell, just to flatten the dirt pile.
2. Final Budget Review
Finance Director DeJong reviewed the final budget one last time before adoption tonight. Staff
feels we are ready and has included a presentation with packet. Several graphics were added to
aid in the understanding of the budget. Mr. DeJong asked if there were any questions he could
answer.
Mayor Love thanked staff and stated that he liked the Executive Summary. He stated that he feels
that the budget is fiscally responsible and future thinking is critical.
3. Block 7 Redevelopment Concept Plans
Administrator Statz shared that the Planning and Zoning Commission saw a nice presentation from
Apollo Development regarding a concept for 20 row-style townhomes on Block 7. It was
communicated to Apollo that the city was unlikely to offer Tax Increment Financing (TIF). Mr.
Statz is in conversation with other developers and hoping to have their concepts before the
Commission in the coming month or two. Administrator Statz revi
spoke about the various aspects of their design, layout and likely financial commitment.
Council Member Wilharber sees less issues for people living around a townhome development
than the previous proposal of an apartment building. He is concerned with plowing the narrow
road, with little greenspace and lighting along trail. The proposal looks good at $300,000 per unit
to help tax base.
Council Member Lakso thinks the development looks on track and just wants to see something
move along on the parcel. She agrees with Council Member Wilharber that the townhomes would
fit nicely and cannot believe the cost of townhomes these days. There are no particular concerns
she has and although it may not be the maximum use of the property, it still appears adequate for
Council Member Koski is excited that progress is being made and noted that the presentation is
very preliminary. He mentioned that there was not a lot of comment from the developer and more
was to come from them in the future. He stated that the developer continues to work on
streetscaping, he appreciated the good comments on roads and the concern for snow removal. He
is curious to see other developersthem in early January. He was
eager to obtain input from neighbors regarding the proposal(s).
Mayor Love feels this proposal is a win-win and great way to move forward. He hopes neighbors
will be happier with this concept and is glad the city pushed back on using TIF. He thinks this is
a great alternative and gets tax base in there righ
quality products as we have with recent developments like the mini-storage and Midwest Best

chose a different developer the first time. Mayor Love was willing to give them the benefit of
doubt and applauded their loyalty to the City. Administrator Statz stated that the developer is also
st
interested in proposing an apartment complex on 21 Avenue, north of the bank.
Council Member Montain echoes others comments and feels that it fits better than previous
proposals. He asked Administrator Statz how tall the units would be. Mr. Statz stated that they
would be 2-story slab on grade with gabled roof, perhaps with a step up from garage entrance.
on height. Mr. Montain echoed snow removal concerns and
noted that the concept had cars parked on Centerville Road. Administrator Statz stated that many
of the issues would be outlined in a Homeow
be leaning in the direction of a private street due to density of driveways and the need for snow
hauling. Mr. Montain wondered about public safety issues such as whether or not the units would
need to be sprinkled. Administrator Statz believed that three or more connected units resulted in
the need for them to be sprinkled and understood them to be 1,850 square foot, 3-bedroom units.
Further discussion ensued with varying opinions on urban vs. suburban design concepts,
streetscaping, setbacks boulevard treatments and the like.
Mayor Love asked if there were other topics for which Mr. Statz was looking for feedback.
Administrator Statz did not have anything further unless the Council wanted to go line by line
through the IUP.

Administrator Statz stated that annually the Council is required to have a Truth in Taxation Public
Hearing. He also stated that the public is provided this opportunity
affects their property taxes. He stated that the presentation would assist in the public understanding
the process. He reported that the budget/levy could go down or stay the same as what was
approved in September, but could not be increased.
Administrator Statz stated that State Statute requires that cities that have a population in excess of
500 are required to provide the public with an opportunity to participate in this hearing to voice
property tax levy, and impact on taxpayers. He
stated that following the hearing the City will adopt the budget and property tax levy for
certification to the County. He explained that property taxes are made up of the City, County and
School District levies as the three (3) major parts of taxes but the County is the fiscal agent that
collects the taxes. He stated that the Board of Equalization and Appeal is the opportunity for
residents to discuss/appeal their property values which occurs in April or May and that this was
not that time.
Finance Director DeJong reviewed major changes in the 2021 Budget and Tax Levy of several
thousands of dollars in revenue with the Property Tax Levy increased which covers other areas
that are anticipated to decrease such as Local Government Aid ($7,629), Police Aid ($6,000), Fines
& Forfeits ($2,000), Pull Tabs ($3,500) and Building Permits ($20,000). He stated that the City is
renting space to M Health Fairview for their ambulance so there is an offset of $7,200 to the
anticipated changes. He reviewed major changes to expenditures of Salaries/Benefits of $20,000,
savings from election expenses of ($9,130), Capital Project Contingency of $50,000 for City Hall
Renovation or Downtown Street Project which was a prudent plan, Police Protection savings from
the JPA formulation of ($11,400), Fire Protection increase of JPA formulation of $5,000, League

Finance Director DeJong stated that budget for 2020 and 2021 were both balanced where revenues
were sufficient to meet the anticipated expenditures. He stated that the total budget was increasing
approximately 3%. He reported that the levy would be increasing by .87% due in part for the debt
service levy going down. He stated that the total tax levy increase is less than 1%.
Finance Director DeJong stated that 85% of th

looking at expenditures with Public Safety being 48% of total expenditures. He reviewed the debt
service levy and stated that the City levied for three (3) bonds last year and that one (1) bond would
be paid off by the end of 2020 which was the police station. He stated that the implications for
that bond being paid off were a savings of approximately $79,000. He reported that Council has
been cautious and used cash on hand to reduce debt service levy and stated that he anticipated that
a continued drop in 2024 and a much larger drop in 2025 due to the street funds being paid off.
Finance Director DeJong reviewed the levy trends. He stated that in 2017 the increase was 5.7%
with 2019 and 2020 being less than 1% increase. He also stated that Council has been frugal and
cautious with money being spent.
Finance Director DeJong reviewed the property tax processes involved with the items that make
up the property tax system. He stated that in October, 2018-September, 2019 sales of existing
properties. He said that the City Assessor determines the trends that are happening with them and
sets individual property tax values for January 2 the next year. He stated that the Assessor arrives
at the assessed value by comparing similar properties with each individual home that have sold.
He stated that then the County laNotice. He reviewed that the
Board of Equalization and Appeal process happens in April or May of each year where Council
acts as the Board and residents are given an
valuation. He stated that all properties in town must be valued and then a preliminary budget is
determined by Council commencing in July and August with an adopted Preliminary Budget and
Tax Levy by September 30 which is forwarded to the County. He stated that the County then takes

effects on an individual home. He stated that fr
Equalization, the median home value was $263,000 in 2020 and $273,000 in 2021 about a 3.7%
increase. He explained that the net tax capacity is anticipated to increase slightly because of loss
of some homestead credit up until you hit a little over $400,000 in value and calculate City property
tax by multiplying your net tax capacity times the tax capacity rate. So that the estimated tax on a

Finance Director DeJong stated the City is a member of the organization, the City benefits from
participating in their Insurance Trust which is a very strong, stable insurance alternative to the
commercial market, benefit from their staff research and participation in the legislative processes.
He stated that what the memorandum is referring to is there may be changes that may occur due
to COVID related responses. He stated that the City discussed these in August and September
when drafting the Preliminary budget. He stated that the City has sufficient revenues and funds
on hand to cover these contingencies if there were to happen. He also stated that Staff has pointed
them out and taken care of them within the budget (State Aid, LGA or other revenues).
Mayor Love added that the League put of state wide memorandum of some things cities should
think about for planning for budgets and the following year. Administrator Statz stated that one
of the issues collection of property taxes and they may not be at the same levels as individuals
have been unemployed and may become delinquent. He stated that the City is highly dependent
on property taxes. He stated that both he and Bruce have not seen that revenue stream dry up or
effect the City in a long meaningful way. Administrator Statz stated that the City just received
information that its percentage of collection rate for property taxes was quite high and it was

anticipated that in 2021 it would be equally as high. He stated that he felt that this recession is
different than in 2008 is that home values have remained home and people will not walk away
from them. He stated that those concerns were addressed within the budget and Staff did a
significant amount of work working on cash flow and property taxes eventually get paid what is
more critical is cash flow in short term and Staff built in contingencies and he felt that the City is
well positioned. Mr. King asked if the League was involved in the City

He also stated that review by all Council Members would ensure something is not being
mischaracterized or things being missed. He also stated that his review is to be completed by the
entire Council and the Mayor echoes these same thoughts. He stated that the Mayor could be the
primary conduit to receive input and that the rest of Council does not feel like he is not receiving
undue influence. Mayor Love stated that the review will go through the Personnel Committee and
then on to Administrator Statz. He stated that any Council Member can provide feedback.
Attorney Glaser advised Council that these comments should be forwarded to him so that there are
no Open Meeting Law violations.
Council Member Montain provided no comments. Council Member Koski asked if this change
the Section 31.03b change City Code or is this policy. City Attorney stated requesting permission
and not a Code change. Council Member Lakso asked the process for stopping the process, would
it be by request to be sensitive to Council being amicable or not. How dial back. City Attorney
stated that Council could place a time limit on it now or propose conditions this evening. Council

Glaser stated that the Mayor has been completing similarly to private industry and applying it here.
He also stated that the system in place had been that the Administrator had been reviewed annually
and the Committee had not been giving these to him. The Committee felt that due to timeliness it
would be important to give to him on a monthly basis. He stated that permission has not been
granted by Council so the Administrator has not been receiving. Council Member King suggested
quarterly. City Administrator Statz stated that he and the Mayor would like to continue the
monthly review. He stated that the remainder of Council can add to it or review it for
appropriateness. He also stated that if Mayor Love was no longer Mayor and that individual was
not as passionate the process would need to be flexible or modified. Mayor Love asked if City
Administrator Statz would be sharing the review with the rest of Council or how it would be
handled. Attorney Glaser stated that as it is confidential to the employee and no serial Open
Meeting Law violations and that he was the best person to deliver and obtain information for the
process.

of losing PTO if unable to carry it over. He st
through pandemic and he felt that this would be a way to reward them. Mayor Love asked if this
was something that was done last year and Administrator Statz stated no.
Council Member Koski stated several years this has been happening and becoming a practice. He
does understand but he does not get that privilege working in the private sector and he is puzzled
as to why it is happening. Council Member Wilharber stated that the City has a small amount of
staff, goes back for years and things come up.
Motion by Council Member Wilharber, seconded by Council Member Montain to Approve
Personal Time Off (PTO) Carryover of Up to Two (2) Weeks From 2020 to 2021 to be
Utilized by March 31, 2021.
Mayor Love asked City Administrator Statz whether there was a way to make our existing policy
to make other options available going forward such as putting into a retirement benefit or other
options. Administrator Statz stated that he was happy that he did not need to bring this before you
last year. He stated that it is an unprecedented time and he views it as some things are predictable;
regular elections; however there was a Special County Election and COVID are not predictable.
He stated that he felt that this was appropriate this year and not bring back next year. He also

stated that two (2) days are allowed to be placed in a Health Care Savings Plan. He also stated
that this is over what we are allowed to bank. He believes that the banking of PTO is a benefit to
staff, their continuity and having a very stable staff is a nice offering if a need should arise for an
extended absence. Mayor Love stated that he did not want staff to lose benefits and maybe within
the first quarter. City Administrator Statz stated that he did not believe anyone could not take
within the time period.
A roll-call vote was taken. Mayor Love and Council Members Koski, Lakso, Montain &
Wilharber voted in favor. Motion carried.
3. On-Sale Liquor License Rebates

not be open except for carryout which their licenses because useless. He stated it was approved
last time and felt similar circumstances and rebate fo

be nice to extend the courtesy this time around also.
Council Member Wilharber asked about discounting 2021. City Administrator Statz stated gave

5. Metro I-Net JPA
Administrator Statz stated that for a number of years Metro I-Net has been contracted to provide
the City with IT services and prior to that we had our own server. He explained that in the past
this has been a program offered by the City of Roseville to serve cities, Police and Fire
Departments, and similar organizations. He stated that the City of Roseville no longer desires to
house the services and a Joint Powers Agreement has been drafted to allow all entities who belong
to the consortium to continue through a JPA. He reported that all members were in favor of this.
He stated that the consortium desires to continue to keep costs reasonable. He also stated that IT
changes on a daily basis and do we jump in for five (5) years. He stated that he believed that the
JPA is well-structured and something the City should take advantage of. He reported that the City
would not be heavily invested if they desired to cease the agreement. City Administrator Statz
stated that he believed that this was a good thing and well structured. Attorney Glaser stated that
the City would be a part of operating a new business and would require a Member of Council to
sit on the Board. He stated that it is nice benefit for the City. Finance Director DeJong stated that
this service has been going on for 20 years and has been a very stable organization and continue
with the group. He stated that he felt that it was into continue with the JPA
and services provided. He stated that there were no profit margins built in and at cost to member
cities which include salaries and no overhead built in and a much better deal than the commercial
market. He believed it was also a benefit for the City.
Council Member Montain stated that he was a part of the vote for the transition to work with them,
works with the on a daily basis and the best bang for the buck. Council Member Koski asked how
many cities. Finance Director DeJong stated that he thought there were 50 different agencies along
with Watershed Districts and other associations. He asked if it was difficult to cease and get out
of the JPA. Attorney Glaser stated that the City would forfeit the assets contained in the JPA but
as a new member you also assume them for free. He stated that notice must be given and the
timing that the budget is announced right before you have to determine whether to stay or provide
notice to leave is good timing and orderly. Council Member Koski asked if the $28,000 which
was $5,000 over the previous year was going to pay fo
fair jump from last year and reflective of a jumping off point and conservatism with budget and
this was a starting part and a choice made on an annual basis. The board of members will be
hesitant to buy a lot of stuff that you cannot get back if you leave. He stated that attempts are
being made to lease everything and all have same goal not to make difficult not to get out. Council
Member Lakso asked if there was a letter earlier in the year asking for members support on whether
in out of something like this. Administrator Statz stated yes. Council Member Lakso stated that
these services are invaluable and she is in support of this and the costs is fair. Council Member
Wilharber stated looks like 35 members presently in what he read but he had questions regarding
Section 4.1 which discusses Board of a Director. Administrator Statz stated that so far been
operating with a member of staff as voting on JPA. Directors shall be Chief Executive Officer
(City Administrator) and he stated that he designated Finance Director DeJong in his place and
they were fine with that. Mayor Love stated that he was slightly disappointed with the voting
structure but agreed with Council Members Montain and Lakso that it was a good thing for the
City.

several items have come forward and should be addressed with lighting. He stated that the
kitchenette could use a light over the sink and the three (3) new offices were not originally
designated for dimmer switches. He stated that the move to LED and is an even bright light and
is much different for some individuals and they would like to have the ability to dim the lighting
levels.
Council Member Montain stated that a lamp could be utilized instead of dimmer switches and that
they should have been a part of the bid and understand the light above the sink.
Mayor Love stated that if the lights are too bright and causes headaches and just turning them off
and having a lamp from an office standpoint but in a specified office see that this is needed. Mayor
Love asked if the expenditure was coming out of the General Fund. Administrator Statz concurred.

7. Rehbein Black Dirt Interim Use Permit
Administrator Statz stated as discussed in the Work Session and staff is proposing a new IUP
functioning similar to the existing IPU with a two (2) year extension except for the caveat of after
year one (1) year the requirement for a Letter of Credit in the amount of $2/cubic yard of material
left on site in a stockpiled manner. He explained that the operator of the site has stated that the
existing conditions are approximately 12,000 cubic yards of common fill or dirt and not topsoil,
another pile of 35,000 yards of common fill and in the middle of those piles there is another pile
of 30,000 yards of topsoil. The stated that the area near Fairview Street has been completed and
ready to go. He stated that the area worked on last summer is mostly completed. He stated that
the discussion at last evenings Planning & Zoning Commission was to require a Letter of Credit
up front and then there was a compromised solution and have the summer of 2021 to get most of
the material either hauled away or in compliance with City Code. He stated that they were given
at if this were the case, an IUP or LOC would not
be needed. He also stated that if it were not in compliance in year two (2) as small requirement
for the LOC with a smaller stockpile and remain operating the dirt operation a LOC of $20,000-
$24,000 was a fair compromise. He reported that the owner and representation was comfortable
with the agreement. City Administrator Statz stated that Mr. Matt Rehbein and Mr. John Rausch
were both participating in the meeting this evening and if desired the Mayor could take comment
from them. City Administrator Statz stated that he primarily outlined the proposed IUP.
Page 14 of 19
City of Centerville
Council Meeting Minutes
December 9, 2020
Attorney Glaser explained the changes in the old IUP and stated that the first change is to remove
the old IUP, language regarding ingress and they have agreed to repair some damage to the streets
and they have agreed. He stated that we have given them a year to remove all materials within a
year and if completed no LOC is needed and we are providing them an incentive to complete on
their own, but if they have not removed the materials after that an estimate will be made of the
materials on site and a security requirement of $2/cubic yard and they will issue a LOC to the City.
He stated that then they will have another full year to fully remove materials. He stated that if not
fully removed by January 1 of 2023 the City will use there LOC and the City has a year to remove
the material. They do have the ability to request an extension if it is economically necessary.
Attorney Glaser stated that putting this much dirt on the site was not something that should have
been allowed to begin, but with the agreement the City can control the operation and if there is a
good economic reason to continue it operation that can be done also. He also reported that if the
operator fails to comply, the City has the ability to make the site pad ready with the LOC.
Council Member Montain asked when get into an agreement and understanding it. It is a business
that is being restricted and that is not the propert
and LOC are expensive. Their end result is to develop the property and not leave it. He stated that
he desired to hear comments from the property owner however. Them leaving dirt is not a concern
st part we have been receiving money without
providing services for the parcel. Council Member Koski stated he made comments earlier in the
Work Session and the Planning & Zoning Commission heard a lot of discussion. He stated that
at the same time have to protect residents and
City. He agrees that the Rehbey but they are comfortable with

stated that if the market stays the same, this property will be sold shortly.
Mr. Matthew Rehbein stated that his Dad will be 80 in January and his Uncle will be 72 and they
want to take advantage of the monies that will be

Council Member Montain biggest thing that they were in support of it and he never believed that
they would walk away or let go tax forfeit. If they do not believe a year is enough and if they have
support and in line. He stated that from a City standpoint we would also like it developed from a
tax base standpoint.
Mr. John Rausch stated that it is worth noting the amount of work that had been completed over
e this land for sale. He stated larger companies
like Amazon do not have the foresight with real estate and not looking forward with their real
estate needs. If twelve months in the past no one would have seen COVID and really hard to look
twelve months forward and if land not pad ready they will not consider in their needs.
Mayor Love stated that he thinks the landowners do want to remove the soils and as a City we just
need them to be conforming.

TITLE OF ISSUE:
Peltier Estates
BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
Sharper Homes has applied for a Preliminary Plat and Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development
(PUD) to construct a 24-unit, detached townhome development. This same development was proposed
approximately 3 years ago. The plat was approved, but a final developer's agreement was never signed and the
plat was never recorded. Since more than one year has passed, since that time, the development should go
through the approvals process again. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on the
Preliminary Plat and PUD. After hearing public input, they voted, unanimously to recommend approval of the
Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD.
Both the plat and PUD documents are preliminary. Final versions will be approved at a later date.
COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING:
Development will pay full fees: Park Dedication - $72,000, SAC/WAC/Stormwater with building Permit

MEMORANDUM
TO: PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: KURT B. GLASER, CITY ATTORNEY
PHIL CARLSON, CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: PELTIER ESTATES - PUBLIC HEARING FOR PLANNED UNIT
DEVELOPMENT
DATE: 2/25/2021
CC: MARK STATZ, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
The applicant, Sharper Communities, LLC, asks the City for a Planned Unit Development for
Peltier Estates. This memo describes the procedure and standards for granting a PUD.
A conditional or interim use permit shall be required of all PUDs. The city may approve the PUD
if it finds the development is consistent with the following principals:
(A) The development shall be planned so that it is consistent with the city comprehensive plan;
(B) The PUD is an effective and unified treatment of the development possibilities on the
project site and the development plan provides for the preservation of unique natural
amenities such as streams, stream banks, wooded cover, rough terrain and similar areas;
(C) The planned unit development proposal appears to harmonize with both existing and
proposed development in the area surrounding the project site;
(D) The tract of land shall be under unified control at the time of application and scheduled to
be developed as one unit. In addition, the development plan must include provisions for
the preservation of natural amenities;
(E) Each phase of the proposed development, as it is proposed to be completed, is of sufficient
size, composition and arrangement that its construction, marketing and operation are
feasible as a complete unit, and that provision and construction of dwelling units and
common open space are balanced and coordinated;
(F) The PUD will not create an excessive burden on parks, schools, streets and other public
facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the district;
(G) The proposed total development is designed in a manner as to form a desirable and unified
environment within its own boundaries;
(H) The plans required under this section must be submitted in a form which will satisfy the
requirements of Chapter 153 for the preliminary and final plats;
(I) Permission to develop specific parcels of land under the provisions which follow shall be
binding on all construction. Any change in the development plan after approval by the
City Council shall be resubmitted for consideration; and
(J) Subdivision review under the subdivision chapter shall be carried out simultaneously with
the review of a PUD under this section.
Next, the Commission must consider the facts presented during the public hearing. The relevant
information follows.
APPLICABLE R-2 STANDARDS
The following standards apply in a R-2 zoning district:
Minimum lot area is 15,000 square feet.
Minimum lot width is 100 feet.
Front setback is 35 feet.
Rear setback is 25 feet.
Side setback is 10 feet.
REQUESTED VARIANCES
This development is in an R-2 zoning district. The land is comprised of large areas of wetland
interspersed with high ground suitable for development. These large tracks of wetland are a
challenge to develop. The planners needed to alter the wetlands to join areas of high ground
suitable to build houses with streets to access those homes. These areas follow the existing contours
of the land. This minimizes the areas where land infill is necessary to join areas of high ground.
The developer now asks for variances related to lot size and building placement to accommodate
the challenge of developing this land.
The developer asks for a variance from each of the R-2 standards stated above. Given the
undulating nature of the proposed lots and lot configurations, there is no uniformity in their
requested variances. The developer proposes to define the variances for each lot on a diagram.
(This diagram will be drawn once approvals are recommended. This diagram is similar to the
Grading & Drainage Plan included with this memo.) Generally stated, the requested variances are
as follows.
Minimum lot area. The proposed lots vary in area from 4,166 to 5,557 square feet.
Minimum lot width. The proposed lot widths vary from 48.9 to 65.7 feet wide.
Front setback. As proposed, the average front setback is approximately 13 feet.
Rear setback. As proposed, the average front setback is approximately 10 feet.
Side setback. As proposed the side setbacks are 5 feet.
LOT SIZE AND SETBACKS
During the design process in 2017, lot location, size, setbacks and backyard requirements were
negotiated and discussed. The layout of the development shown is the result of those discussions.
The developer is not proposing any changes to that layout with this application.
NOTABLE FACTS
In 2017, the City rezoned this parcel from R-1 to R-2. The City rezoned this parcel to accommodate
this proposed development and lot configuration which are the subject of this PUD request.
The Rice Creek Watershed District approved the proposed plat configuration where homes and
roads follow the existing areas of high ground.
It is an important goal of the City to have an interconnected roadway system. The proposed street
within Peltier Estates does not connect to Brian Drive. Creating this connection through the
existing wetland would be cost prohibitive and resulted in large wetland impacts that could disturb
the natural function of the larger wetland complex. The developer proposes a trail and boardwalk
to create a pedestrian connection with the rest of the City, enabling residents to access nearby parks
and trails without walking on the county highway. The boardwalk connection minimizes wetland
impacts.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
nt Plan) guides the property for Low/Medium
Density Residential. The R-2 zoning district is a low-density residential district. These 24 lots are
consistent with the density aspect of the Comprehensive Plan and the R-2 district, given the
undevelopable wetland portions of this plat. The density of this plat will not change since the
wetlands will be protected by easement against future development.
CITY OF CENTERVILLE, ANOKA COUNTY, MINN.
Findings and Decision regarding
Conditional Use Permit/Planned Unit Development
The Planning & Zoning Commission met on March 3, 2021 to hold a public hearing to
consider a request of Sharper Communities, LLC for a Planned Unit Development of
their property.
FINDINGS:
1) The property is currently described as:
The North Half of the Northeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 14,
Township 31 North, Range 22 West, Anoka County, Minnesota, except the
following described property:
That part of said North Half of the Northeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of
Section 14, Township 31 North, Range 22 West, Anoka County, Minnesota,
described as follows: Beginning at the Southeast corner of said North Half of the
Northeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter; thence North 125 feet along the east
line of said Section 14; thence westerly 348.5 feet on a line parallel to the south
line of said North Half of the Northeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter; thence
southerly 125 feet to a point on the south line of said North Half of the Northeast
Quarter of the Southeast Quarter; thence easterly 348.5 feet to the place of
beginning.
2) The applicant has submitted a request for a Planned Unit Development in conjunction
with applications for subdivision. The proposed development provides for 24 units of
detached townhomes.
3) City Code Sec 156.210 specifies that approval of a Planned Unit Development be in
substantially the same form as for approval of a conditional use permit.
4) The Commission finds that the unique characteristics of this property make
development difficult due to numerous wetlands on the property.
5) The Commission finds that the development could not occur at a reasonable density
without some flexibility in the design of the plat, lot size, and building placement.
6) The Commission finds that development will benefit the City by granting variances to
the following standards which apply in the R-2 zoning district:
a) Minimum lot area of 15,000 square feet.
b) Minimum lot width of 100 feet.
1
c) Front setback of 35 feet.
d) Rear setback of 25 feet.
e) Side setback of 10 feet.
7) The Commission finds that each element of City Code Sec 156.210, as required for
approval of a Planned Unit Development, has been met by the proposed plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
rd
The Planning & Zoning Commission, by its action on this 3 day of March 2021,
recommends that the council grant approval of the Planned Unit Development, subject to
the following:
1) Developer shall execute a Planned Unit Development agreement to be
approved by City Council.
2) Staff recommendations are forwarded to Council with this recommendation.
3) The elements of the Planned Unit Development shall be enforced by a
Conditional Use Permit which includes the following:
a. The variances approved in these findings shall be set forth in a detailed
survey drawing.
b. Easements governing the wetlands on the Plat, for their perpetual
maintenance by the homeowners, and with prohibitions against future
development.
c. Construction and perpetual maintenance by the homeowners of a trail
connecting the development to Brian Drive.

Peltier Estates – Narrative
Sharper Communities would like to (re)introduce Peltier Estates – a 24 unit detached townhome
community. Finished lots will be sold to Sharper Homes (of the same owners), who will complete the
townhome builds. Sharper Homes has a long history of building homes in Centerville, and we’re excited
to get this new project under way.
It is our intention to tailor this project to suit the property as best as possible. Due to minimal upland
space as well as limited availability of fill material, this property is best suited for slab on grade housing.
The preference for slab-on-grade helps us determine the best house style and ideal clientele, and
ultimately the requirement for a planned unit development.
Detached townhomes work very well in this situation. Our ideal clientele are small families or “empty
nest” parents looking to downsize without the need, or desire, of a basement space or large yard. In
this case, the association-maintained exterior is a major selling point. These clients are looking for a
smaller, but still upscale, home in a community they are excited to be a part of.
Home prices are expected to be somewhere around $500,000 and $650,000.

6.9 Working Capital Fund. There shall be established a working capital fund to
meet unforeseen expenditures, to purchase additional equipment or services of the
Association, and/or to cover the administrative costs associated with the transfer
of ownership of a Unit. At the time of sale of any improved Unit, whether initial
_____

sale or resale, the Purchaser shall pay a working capital fund contribution to the
Association in an amount equal to two monthly installments of the Assessments
against the Unit being conveyed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirement
to contribute to the working capital fund shall not apply to the following: i) any
sale of an unimproved Unit; and ii) any sale to a Homebuilder, unless the
Homebuilder is purchasing the Unit for personal, rental and/or residential use, and
not for construction and resale. If anyone resides in the Dwelling on a Unit
during a period of Homebuilder ownership, it will be presumed that the
Homebuilder's intent was for residential use, and the Homebuilder shall be
required to contribute to the working capital fund, as provided herein. The
amounts paid into this fund are in addition to the regular monthly installments of
Assessments, and should not be considered an advance payment of regular
Assessment installments. The amounts paid to the working capital fund are not
refundable upon resale of the unit, or in any other circumstance. The funds shall
be deposited into the Association's account, and may be used to pay or defray the
expenses of the Association in connection with any Unit transfer, any other

Conservation
District Capacity
Funding Impact
Each year since
2016, soil and
water conservation
districts across the
state, including
ACD, have
receiving a special
allocation from
the Clean Water Fund of the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to build statewide
capacity to provide conservation related programs and services. Each district utilizes these
funds differently to meet the needs of their constituents and natural resources. Following is a
snapshot of how ACD relies on these funds. District Capacity funds (DCF) have made the
greatest difference in Anoka Conservation District (ACD) operations by serving as a highly
adaptable funding source. We use DCF to tackle critical but small tasks that elevate our
overall function and efficiency. Most individual projects and activities funded with DCF cost
less than $5,000.
