market value of the unplatted land for which park fees have not already been paid that is, no
later than at the time of final approval or under the city's adopted comprehensive plan, to be
served by municipal sanitary sewer and water service or community septic and private well
as authorized by state law. For purposes of redevelopment on developed land, the
municipality may choose to accept a cash fee based on fair market value of the land no later
than the time of final approval. "Fair market value" means the value of the land as
determined by the municipality annually based on tax valuation or other relevant data. If the
municipality's calculation of valuation is objected to by the applicant, then the value shall be
as negotiated between the municipality and the applicant, or based on the market value as
determined by the municipality based on an independent appraisal of land in a same or
similar land use category.
(d) In establishing the portion to be dedicated or preserved or the cash fee, the
regulations shall give due consideration to the open space, recreational, or common areas and
facilities open to the public that the applicant proposes to reserve for the subdivision.
(e) The municipality must reasonably determine that it will need to acquire that portion
of land for the purposes stated in this subdivision as a result of approval of the subdivision.
(f) Cash payments received must be placed by the municipality in a special fund to be
used only for the purposes for which the money was obtained.
(g) Cash payments received must be used only for the acquisition and development or
improvement of parks, recreational facilities, playgrounds, trails, wetlands, or open space
based on the approved park systems plan. Cash payments must not be used for ongoing
operation or maintenance of parks, recreational facilities, playgrounds, trails, wetlands, or
open space.
(h) The municipality must not deny the approval of a subdivision based solely on an
inadequate supply of parks, open spaces, trails, or recreational facilities within the
municipality.
(i) Previously subdivided property from which a park dedication has been received,
being resubdivided with the same number of lots, is exempt from park dedication
requirements. If, as a result of resubdividing the property, the number of lots is increased,
then the park dedication or per-lot cash fee must apply only to the net increase of lots.

(A) Land dedication. In all new subdivisions, ten percent of the gross area subdivided shall be
dedicated for public recreation space, with this ten percent being in addition to property dedicated
for streets, alleys, easements or other public ways. No areas may be dedicated for public use until
the areas have been approved as being suitable and needed for the public health, safety,
convenience and/or general welfare. When the subdivision is too small for practical dedication of
public land or if no land in the subdivision is suitable for that useIf the city decides that no land
dedication is needed, or less than 10% of the land is needed for dedication, the subdivider shall be
required to pay a Park Dedication fee as per the schedule in effect at the time of Preliminary Plat
approval in lieu of such dedication. The payment of the fee shall be due in conjunction with the
recording of the plat. By agreement, the city may allow the subdivider to delay payment of Park
Dedication Fees to the time of the building permit issuance on each lot. However, the agreement
must hold the subdivider ultimately responsible for the payment of those fees if not paid by the
builder. An escrow or other security may be required to secure those funds.per lot created or ten
percent of the subdivision land value, whichever is greater, prior to subdivision; the value
(market) of the land shall be determined by negotiation between city and developer. Lots created
in any manner that is larger than five acres or 300 feet in width shall not be subject to dedication
of land for public use. A fee according to the current schedule will be charged on every building
permit issued pertaining to new housing units for parks and playgrounds. For multi-family
projects, each unit will be construed to be the equivalent of a ÐlotÑ. For group-living situations
such as group homes, nursing homes and the like, each bed will be construed to be the equivalent
of ½ lot. For redevelopment of parcels which have previously dedicated land or paid a Park
Dedication Fee, the existing number of lots or units shall be subtracted from the number of new
lots or units in the proposed redevelopment to calculate the fees owed.

1. Easement Vacation Î 1825 Main Street
Administrator Statz reviewed the ground rules for public hearings held via Zoom.
Administrator Statz explained the request for vacation of the drainage and utility easement across
the property at 1825 Main Street; the site of the proposed Atlas Villas Memory Care facility. The
proposed development will dedicate new drainage and utility easements around the stormwater

Planning and Zoning Commission

facilities and perimeter of the site. The easement is no longer needed since the ditch that it covers
is no longer in use. Mr. Statz reviewed the public hearing mailed notices and publications.
Commissioners asked questions of Mr. Statz regarding the status of the ditch, easement.
Chairman Mosher declared the Public Hearing to be open at 6:44 PM. The public was given an
opportunity to comment, via the ÐRaise your HandÑ function or simply by unmuting their
microphone and speaking. No members of the public chose to speak or asked to be recognized.
The Chairman and Commission chose to keep the public hearing open in case anyone was having
difficulty with the technology. The intent was to close the public hearing, later in the agenda
when the easement vacation was considered as an agenda item.
V. AWARDS, PRESENTATIONS & APPEARANCES
1. EDA Strategic Plan Presentation Î Mike Giovinazzo, EDA Commissioner
Mr. Giovinazzo gave a presentation on the purpose and objectives of the cityÓs EDA, outlining
their future goals.
Chairman Mosher asked if anyone had any questions for Mr. Giovinazzo. No members appeared
to have questions. Chairman Mosher asked Mr. Giovinazzo about the EDAÓs observance of
neighboring cities and developments happening within them. Mr. Giovinazzo expressed that he
and the EDA was aware of surrounding development and looked at it as an opportunity to build
off the regional success.
Mr. Statz played a short promotional video, produced by the EDA.
Commissioners and Council Liaison Koski expressed their thanks to Mr. Giovinazzo for his
presentation and service to the city.
2. Variance Concept Review Î Mr. Joe Bibeau, 1840 Center Street (Driveway)
Administrator Statz explained the process of a Concept Plan Review for a variance and the fact
that the Commission would not make a binding decision tonight.
Mr. Statz then gave a staff report, outlining the details of the proposed variance for the paving of a
driveway expansion. The proposed driveway would be within 2 feet of the property line, when the
setback for driveways is 5 feet.
Commissioners discussed the lack of a unique situation which was beyond the control of the
homeowner. Mr. Bibeau spoke and after hearing the discussion and better understanding the rules,
thought there was a viable solution within the city code, remaining 24Ó wide through the right-of-
way, then widening out to within 5Ó of the property line.
Since this was a concept review, no official action was taken.
3. Concept Plan Review Î 2052 Gateway Circle
Page 2 of 5
City of Centerville
Planning and Zoning Commission
August 4, 2020
Administrator Statz gave a staff review of the proposed addition to the building. He discussed the
interpretation of the setbacks and noted that the proposal seems to fit within the city code as long
as parking or proof of parking is addressed.
Representatives from the contractor doing the proposed renovation answered commissionersÓ
questions regarding the addition. They noted that the expansion was to facilitate a new piece of
equipment. Also, they stated that the addition would match the architecture of the existing
building.
Consensus was that the proposal was a welcomed addition to the city and the commission did not
see any complications with the zoning code.
Since this was a concept review, no official action was taken.
st
4. Concept Plan Review Î 71XX 21 Avenue Apartment Building
Administrator Statz gave an overview of the proposal, noting that the site is currently zoned B-2
Main Street Commercial and the Comprehensive Plan does not currently guide this property for
anything other than a commercial use. However, there may be some practicality to the
development, given its proximity to the park and ride, and the neighboring uses to the north and
west being residential.
Chris Harchanko, a representative of the development presented his view of why this site is being
looked at. Mr. Harchanko is proposing a 96-unit, market rate, 3-story apartment building, taking
approximately 6 acres of property in the north end of the 22 acre parcel. He noted that
underground parking was being looked at, but depending on soil conditions, it may need to be a ½
story above ground parking scenario.
Commissioner Haiden had questions about the footprint of the development
Mr. Steve King, from 1724 Sorel Street was recognized by Chairman Mosher. Mr. King asked if
there would be ÐaffordableÑ units as a part of the development. Commissioner Fehrenbacher
noted that the developer had presented the proposal as Ðmarket rateÑ, meaning non-subsidized.
Since this was a concept review, no official action was taken.
VI. OLD BUSINESS
1. Driveway and Residential Parking Ordinance Revisions
Administrator Statz outlined the commissionÓs progress on this ordinance to date. City Planner
Phil Carlson presented a memo and figure he had prepared. The memo detailed the proposed
changes to the ordinance. The figure was a graphical depiction of the proposed changes, showing
where certain vehicles and equipment could be parked. Additionally, there were figures depicting
various vehicle types, including several classes of recreational vehicles.
Discussion ensued regarding length, width, height, weight, commercial vs. personal vehicles, etc.
Page 3 of 5
City of Centerville
Planning and Zoning Commission
August 4, 2020
No formal action was taken. Specific code language revisions will be brought back to the
commission at an upcoming meeting.
2. Ordinance #105, Second Series Î Relative to Definition, Location and Width of
Driveways in Residential Districts
Administrator Statz explained that recently adopted change to the driveway width ordinance
inadvertently contained a contradiction, excluding driveways from side yard setbacks (10Ó), while
allowing them as close as 5Ó from the property line. The ordinance should have allowed
driveways within the setbacks. Staff is seeking reapproval of the ordinance with the clarified
language to allow driveways to be within the setbacks.
Motion by Commissioner Broussard-Vickers, seconded by Commissioner Krueger to
recommend approval of the revised ordinance allowing driveways within the side yard
setbacks. A roll call vote was taken. All in favor. Motion carried.
3. Backyard Chicken Ordinance Review
Commissioner Fehrenbacher reviewed proposed revisions to the Backyard Chicken ordinance,
including revisions to the length of time a coop can sit empty, an allowance for an additional 2
chickens (up to total of 6) and some flexibility for an out-of-coop ÐrunÑ. The CommissionÓs
general consensus was that these changes were appropriate.
No formal action was taken. A public hearing on the ordinance revisions will be scheduled.
VII. NEW BUSINESS
1. Easement Vacation Î 1825 Main Street
Administrator/Engineer Statz explained the origins of the easement being considered for vacation
and the reasons why it is no longer needed. He explained that the new development will have
stormwater retention facilities constructed in new easement areas.
Motion by Commissioner Broussard-Vickers, seconded by Commissioner Krueger to
recommend approval of the vacation. A roll call vote was taken. All in favor. Motion
carried.
2. Ordinance Review - Home Occupations (Auto Repair)
Administrator Statz reviewed the nature of several complaints staff has fielded in recent weeks
regarding residents doing auto repair out of their garages.
Chairman Mosher entertained comment from residents in attendance who further explained the
reason for their complaints.
Staff suggested holding a public hearing on the matter to consider formal changes to the
ordinance.

1. Block 7 Î Centra North, LLC (Under Purchase Agreement w/City)
a. Preliminary Plat
b. Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a planned Unit Development (PUD)
Administrator Statz introduced this item and provided some background.
City Planner Carlson reviewed the details and purpose of the preliminary plat and conditional
use permit request. He stated there will be 26, two-story townhomes. He noted that the
development is intentionally different from the rest of the buildings in Centerville; it is
denser and has an urban feel opposed to the rest of Centerville.
Page 1 of 8
City of Centerville
Regular Meeting Planning and Zoning Commission
November 2, 2021
Chairperson Broussard Vickers asked if down the line a new buyer comes forward and they
do not meet the qualifications would the Commission become responsible for ensuring the
buyer becomes qualified and provides proof to the County. City Attorney Glaser stated the
terms of the original purchase agreement are what the Commission and the City will be
responsible for.
Ms. Carla Dunham, Land Acquisition and Development Manager,!Centra Homes, addressed
the Commission. She stated in regards to the request to add grass between the two buildings,
in their experience it may be difficult to keep it thriving with the lack of sunlight and
drainage being an issue in that area. She stated they felt other types of shrubs or landscaping
would be better suited if the Commission is agreeable.
City Planner Carlson stated he thinks shrubs and landscaping in lieu of grass would be good.
Ms. Dunham stated in regards to the concerns about lighting on the streets and trails, they
did not plan to place additional street lighting or lights on the trail but they are planning to
add lights on each porch that come on automatically to provide a continuously, well-light
streetscape for walkability and safety purposes.
City Planner Carlson stated for safety purposes and esthetics, he feels they should have lights
on each end of the street and trail.
Ms. Dunham stated they have found that home buyers do not like having a fixed sign or
monument in the entrance to their development due to poor upkeep and wear over time. She
requested that this be removed from the conditions.
Administrator Statz stated he feels strongly about a monument sign. He stated it is noted in
the master plan that Ðplace makingÑ is a priority for the City and adding the sign does just
that. He stated it could be a low maintenance sign on the corner of Sorel and Centerville
Road.
Ms. Dunham noted that Centra Homes understands the importance of utilizing a mixture of
siding materials. She stated that suppliers are having difficulty obtaining the materials that
they originally proposed for the construction and that they are continuing to research
alternatives in similarity.
Mr. Dave Pattberg, Centra Homes Representative, stated they are going to use something of
the same type of quality y but it may look different than the 6 and 8 inch siding they
originally chose.
Chairperson Linda Broussard Vickers opened the public hearing at 6:45 p.m.
Ms. Katie Dufault, 7045 Centerville Road, addressed the Commission and stated she lives
across the street from the proposed development. She stated she is concerned about the
longevity of the siding, esthetics of the buildings and how this would possibly change
Centerville. She stated she is concerned about the trail and trees because they are the biggest
assets to the City. She noted she is also concerned that the building could become low income
housing in the future.

Regular Meeting Planning and Zoning Commission
November 2, 2021
Ms. Rebecca Bohl, 1680 Sorel Street, addressed the Commission and asked what they plan
to replace the trees they are removing with. She stated that her home is directly behind the
proposed development and worries about her privacy. She stated that she would expect
similar privacy going forward.
Ms. Melanie Nicks, 7029 Centerville Road, addressed the Commission and stated she likes
the small town feel with the existing homes looking different. She stated that she was in
dislike to the proposed development and would move if the market was better. She stated
she would like to know what affordable pricing means regarding the pricing of the
townhomes and noted she does not understand how a family of four with an annual income
under $80,000 could possibly afford a $300,000 townhome.
Ms. Mary Beth Wasiloski, 1688 Heritage Street, addressed the Commission and stated the
porch lights they are considering would be right in front of her home, on all night and she
was not in favor of this. She stated would want the area to be safe and felt that it could be
achieved differently than lighting. She asked what they plan to replace the trees they are
removing with, noting their plans are deceiving to the public because it looks like they are
transplanting mature trees into that space but that is not what they are hearing in the plans.
Motion by Commissioner Kubat, seconded by Commissioner Olson to close the public
hearing at 7:28 p.m. All in favor. Motion carried.
2. 2050 & 2070 Main Street Î Shingle Creek Capital, LLC
a. Rezone from B-2 (Main Street Commercial) to B-1 (Commercial)
Administrator Statz introduced and provided some background on this item.
City Planner Carlson provided in depth details on the proposed items.
There was discussion on if any portion of these two parcels should be rezoned back to their
original B-2 zoning at a later date or not. The concerns voiced about leaving both parcels
zoned B-1 (Commercial) would allow something in the area that the Commission/City may
not desire. It was felt that rezoning to B-1 (Commercial) may offer the site in the future as
having the ability to transition nicely for B-2 (Main Street Commercial) if improvements
were made to the vacant (2070 Main Street) site.
Mr. Lucas Wiborg, Shingle Creek Capital, LLC, addressed the Commission. He stated the
company looking to move into the space is currently located in Minneapolis and desires to
relocate to Centerville. He stated it is a unique site and they have looked at what is viable
for the location and noted the proposal can create a viable use of this vacant land.
Commissioner Kubat stated when Mr. Wiborg spoke with the Commission in a previous
Work Session, he mentioned the potential of a small retail space, he is wondering why that
is not in the proposal.
Page 3 of 8
City of Centerville
Regular Meeting Planning and Zoning Commission
November 2, 2021
Mr. Wiborg stated they have completed ground and soil testing and found out that there are
some environmental issues on the site which will require about 7-12Ó of ground removal to
lay a strong enough foundation for a building. He stated that due to those findings, what is
being proposed tonight is that they lay the ground work and foundation for the entire site,
making it viable for someone in the future, to purchase part of the site and potentially use it
as a retail space without extra costs of having to complete ground work.
Ms. Jennifer Haskamp, Principal Planner, Swanson Haskamp Consulting, addressed the
Commission. She stated they have a few questions regarding the Conditional Use Permit
conditions. She asked if they could confirm her understanding is correct and that they need
the Conditional Use Permit for the use in order for them to move forward with the user. She
stated that they would need to create a site plan which would be a condition within the CUP.
She noted if that is correct, they do not have any issue doing that, but they would need to do
a few things first, such as find out how big the infiltration system would need to be that will
go through Rice Creek.
Regarding the potential future site pad on the northern edge, Ms. Haskamp stated that is a
long-term plan and the details of the location would need to be adjusted depending on the
access ways and landscaping in the future. She noted the site would be big enough for about
a 10,000 square foot retail space and they intentionally created a shallow berm so that in the
future someone could potentially have a site there.
City Planner Carlson stated they suggest a double row of trees to create a screen, which will
serve that purpose even before maturity. Ms. Haskamp stated they could accommodate that
request without a problem.
Ms. Haskamp stated the concern about leaving the existing zoning on the parcels as B-1, is
that some staging will occur on the site at different times and they would want to ensure it
would not be an issue if that were to happen on the parcel zoned as B-1.
Administrator Statz stated he would suggest the plans be more specific and show where they
plan to be staging and moving materials and then they would need to make sure to review
the definition of how long items could be sitting in one spot and not be considered storage
so they have a better idea what zone this needs to be.
Commissioner Kubat asked if part of the CUP is to review the site plan, noting it seems they
may be looking at more of the site plan items right now and now just the CUP.
Administrator Statz stated Commissioner Kubat is correct, but noted this is a situation where
in order for the applicant to know if their plan could be viable in this space, some of the site
plan items need to be reviewed now to assist in making that determination.
City Planner Carlson stated if items are left outside for a day and materials are coming and
going, he does not think those would fall into the storage category and rather they would be
considered staging. However, if materials will be left outside for a few days, then that would
be considered outside storage. He stated the way the applicant has it drawn is helpful and
noted, if possible, he suggested somehow drawing a line on the pavement of the area where
Page 4 of 8
City of Centerville
Regular Meeting Planning and Zoning Commission
November 2, 2021
staging will happen, ensuring that it does not exceed the allowable size and they would just
need to make sure not to have materials outside of that area.
Administrator Statz stated they have a good plan and it is up to the Commission to decide
if they feel they have enough information and details to make a decision to recommend it
to the City Council.
Ms. Haskamp stated the proposal before them tonight is a site plan. She noted it is scalable,
shows the concept plans, and how the user plans to use the site. She noted if they want them
to create a new one showing the total maximum allowable space where they plan to put
materials because the one they have currently, shows less than the allowed amount and they
anticipate needing that extra allowed space at times, they are happy to do that.
Administrator Statz stated if they want to move forward with the proposal shown tonight as
a site plan, than it would not allow for outside storage.
City Planner Carlson stated the applicant is willing to create a new site plan that will include
the actual area of storage and that would suffice.
Chairperson Linda Broussard Vickers opened the public hearing at 8:31 p.m.
No one wished to address the Commission on this item.
Motion by Commissioner Kuiper, seconded by Commissioner Krueger to close the
public hearing at 8:33 p.m. All in favor. Motion carried.
Council Liaison Koski stated he does not want to discourage businesses from coming to the
City but due to issues in the past, they want to be cautious and iron out all the details. He
stated he is wondering if they have a CUP, does it have to apply to both parcels and if not,
can they leave the one parcel as B-2 zoning in that case.
Chairperson Broussard Vickers stated because the applicant is stating they may use part of
the second parcel to store items at times, both parcels would need to be zoned B-1 so that
the CUP applies and the area can be regulated.

b. Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a Planned Unit Development (PUD)
Commissioner Kubat asked if the multi-story building is required or desired on part of the
City. He stated he is also wondering what is going to be in between the two building because
it does not appear to be depicted as he would expect.
City Planner Carlson stated he believes the multi-story building is required by the downtown
guidelines and noted they say the purpose of this zoning is to implement the Master Plan.
Administrator Statz stated he believes the master plan actually stated the requirement was to
implement three-story buildings. City Planner Carlson stated he believes that is correct, that
the Master Plan alluded to a three-story apartment building but instead they have decided to
move forward with the two-story townhomes.
Mr. David Pattberg, Chief Financial Officer, Centra Homes, addressed the Commission
regarding the area between the buildings and noted that was not something done at their
direction, but trusts the design is for a reason and thinks it is a space to be managed by the
HOA.
Commissioner Krueger stated if they plan to remove the big trees then he would like to see
them replaced somehow. He stated he would like to see the two lights remain at the end of
the trails and there is a new sign for the Bayview Villas off Main Street that he likes and
thinks would be a good design for the monument sign for this development. He noted he
likes the plan otherwise.
Administrator Statz stated they do not have an ordinance that requires tree replacement like
some other cities. He noted he thinks most of the trees will remain in place though and only
a few will be removed. City Planner Carlson stated unfortunately in any redevelopment, trees
usually need to be removed and this lot in particular, has been slated for development for a
long time.
Commissioner Olson stated his concern is the finishes, he noted he especially does not like
vinyl siding and he would still like to see something higher quality as originally discussed.
Commissioner Kuiper stated he is impressed with the appearance of the buildings and is
excited to see the finished project.
Commissioner Nelson stated his only request would be that the same siding be used
continuously throughout the townhomes because he has seen a project firsthand where they
had to switch a few units in and it did not look good when it was completed.
Chairperson Broussard Vickers stated her main concern is regarding the HOA and how the
transfer will happen. She stated she is concerned that the HOA fees usually start low and
then it does not support the maintenance needed down the line and things like the private
road being used in this plan cannot be updated or fixed. She noted she understands that
starting with a high monthly HOA fee may not be feasible for the price point they plan to
sell at, but noted if someone cannot afford that, they certainly cannot afford a $5,000
Page 6 of 8

assessment a few years down the line either. There is a balance that needs to be considered
and met to ensure the property can be nicely maintained. She stated she is good with the
siding being a similar style but using different colors or something of a variety as needed.
Motion by Commissioner Kubat, seconded by Commissioner Kuiper to recommend
approval of the Preliminary Plat and Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit
Development with conditions noted in the staff memo and to include a monument sign
be added to the final plan, lighting be included at both ends of the trail, and to require
shrubbery among the materials to be placed between the townhouses. Commissioner
Olson Opposed. All others in favor. Motion carried.
2. 2050 & 2070 Main Street Î Shingle Creek Capital, LLC
a. Rezone from B-2, Main Street Commercial to B-1, Commercial
b. Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
Chairperson Broussard Vickers asked for input from the Commissioners on this item.
Commissioner Kuiper stated this property is more difficult to develop then others, but feels
the plan that was presented is good.
Commissioner Olson stated he would like to keep the one parcel zoned to B-2 and only
change the required parcel to B-1. He stated his concern is that a business like a car
dealership could come in and want to use that space in the future if it remains B-1 and that
is not something he would like to see happen.
Commissioner Krueger stated he thinks the proposal is good and it will create a good space
in an area that has been empty for about 20 years. He believes rezoning both parcels to B-1
would be appropriate.
Commissioner Kubat stated given the fact that they only need one lot changed, at the
moment, he believed that the other lot should remain B-2 keeping with the siteÓs original
intent of retail zoning.
Chairperson Broussard Vickers stated because they potentially need staging storage on the
2050 Main Street parcel, that means it needs to be zoned B-1. She stated she would prefer
to change both to B-1 and that would ensure the CUP is attached and can regulate both
parcels. She noted she likes the idea of the CUP controlling the potential storage on the lots.

approval of the request for rezoning from B-2 to B-1, contingent upon approval of the
Conditional Use Permit. Conditional Use Permit to include conditions noted in the staff
memo, further conditions to be added after submittal of revised full site improvement
