Mr. Statz reported that Block 7 (also referred to as Sorel Quarter) is the first redevelopment project incorporating the look and feel envisioned in the 2006 Downtown Master Plan; the project also achieves density and affordability goals. Mr. Statz noted that the Atlas Villas Memory Care facility located at 1824 Main Street anticipates opening in April of this year (this information was available after the staff report was written). Executive Director Statz noted that on the 2050/2070 Main Street project Council approved a rezoning and CUP permit for the site to allow a building supply company to occupy the building and the site next door and anticipate site build out and tenant build out are anticipated in the Spring, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Progress on this project is contingent upon sale of the property. Executive Director Statz reported that the total allotment of the Biden-Era Ðby-outÑ package is approximately $450,000. The spending term is longer than the CARES funding package. The City has until the end of 2023 to spend the funding, noting that the money can be used for anything, excluding a Ðrainy dayÑ fund. The City will receive the money as lost revenue and use it to fund general government improvements, such as street/parking enhancements at City Hall. Executive Director Statz reported that the City is still offering ½ price water hook-up for businesses. President Hanzel inquired about the possibility of extending the program to residents. Executive Director Statz communicated that the City has offered similar programs to residents in the past, however federal aid attaches certain requirements to the funding. There are currently about one hundred residents without City water Î it might be a good time to evaluate options. Page 5 of 5 City of Centerville EDA Meeting Minutes January 19, 2022 2.

A DeveloperÓs Agreement and draft HomeownerÓs Association Documents will be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council in the coming weeks. Centerville Elementary School Expansion A few supply chain issues are producing challenges for the contractor, in meeting their original schedule. An expected completion date is unknown at this time. stnd Old Mill Estates 1 and 2 Additions The developer has requested a Letter of Credit reduction. Once a warranty bond for the improvements is received by the city, the reduction request will be processed. The City is in discussion with the homeowner near the cul-de-sac on Old Mill Court, exploring alternative routes for the trail. The city will continue to hold security for the completion of the trail until this process plays out and the trail link is completed. th Centerville Storage (20Ave. Mini Storage) The owner has now completed the necessary improvements to open the facility and is preparing marketing materials for a grand opening. Bay View Villas (Waterworks Site) The vast majority of the project work is now done. Some lakeshore plantings and final landscaping items remain. Mailboxes are now in and the pond has been dredged to final grade. Atlas Villas Memory Care Project (1825 Main Street) Contractors have been experiencing delays due to material shortages but they anticipate being open by April 1, 2022. Development Inquiries Developer looking for 10-12 acres of industrial land for distribution center. Rehbein Commercial Infrastructure work is now, largely complete, with the sewer, water and stormwater having been installed.

Max Storage (Fairview Street) A public hearing was held on February 1 to review an application for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to operate what is being termed a ÐMaxi StorageÑ facility. The proposed development would consist of 2 buildings, each with 8 for-lease units which would include a large overhead door, and enough space (50Ó x 208Ó) to house equipment for small contractors working in the trades. The heated units may also be available for rental to store personal items, such as RVs, boats and other large equipment. The Planning and Zoning Commission had a number of comments and questions for the applicants to address, including landscaping, operational and building code issues. The public hearing for the project has been left open to allow for further public comment. We anticipate the applicant addressing the comments at the next P&Z st meeting on March 1.

The US Treasury has now finalized their guidance on lost revenue, which provides a flat amount for recovery by each city, which is well above CentervilleÓs allotment. If funds are allocated for lost revenue, they must simply be spent on general government expenses. Council has not made formal commitments yet. PUBLIC WORKS Snow Plow Season At the last meeting the city's snow plowing policy was discussed. Council had a few more questions about when snowplowing operations begin and the order in which streets, sidewalks, and trails are plowed. Also discussed was a desire for consistency between City Code and our Policy. Revisions to our policy have been made in an effort to address those issues. STORMWATER/WETLAND Rice Creek Watershed District Erosion Control Inspection Partnership. The city kicked off its first few months of a new partnership with the Rice Creek Watershed District, earlier this summer. The agreement between the city and RCWD eliminates overlapping inspections on development sites, keeping development costs down. The watershed district supplies the inspections and the city pays for half of their costs. Recently, the city received its first invoice from the watershed and happily paid it in full! Both organizations are hopeful that this partnership can lead to more collaborative programs that cut government bureaucracy while still fulfilling the missions of our respective organizations. SEWER AND WATER Commercial Water Connection Fee Assistance As part of the cityÓs ongoing effort to help businesses through the pandemic, a new program was introduced, cutting connection fees for city water in half, for commercial properties. If you own a commercial property in Centerville that is not currently hooked to city water, and are interested in learning more, please call City Hall. The program is offered for a limited time only and is subject to conditions. Wellhead Protection Plan We have been notified that our grant application to seal some wells in our Wellhead Protection Area was received and is ready to be funded. A grant agreement has been executed and staff is pursuing quotes to complete the work. PUBLIC SAFETY Centennial Fire District From Battalion Chief Matt Montain - On February 1, 2022 there was a structure fire in the city along Eagle Trail. All residents made it out of the house safely and no firefighters were injured during the extinguishment. The house is uninhabitable and all utilities were shut off at the home. There were more than 40 firefighters from four departments (Centennial, SBM, Lino Lakes and Lexington) working to extinguish the fire on a very cold and windy evening. Mayor Love reached out to offer support as the incident was happening, and Councilman Mosher opened his home to the family. Councilman MosherÓs willingness to host the family in an effort to keep his neighbors safe and warm during this tragic event is one of many reasons that Centerville is so great! Special thank you to Public Works for coming in last night Î it was cold and icy Check out The Fire Safety Tips Below Centennial Lakes Police Department Chief Mork and his staff continue to focus on keeping adequately staffed through the pandemic, staggering shifts and making other adjustments to their operations.

Schifsky is interested in developing the site as a mixed use building. While they do not yet have a commitment from a tenant, they think the site is appealing and marketable. One thing they felt was important to the success of the site was the ability to make a drive-thru work (probably for coffee). This, of course, makes parking a bit more of an issue. They asked if the EDA or City would be willing to offer further incentives to help solve the parking and stormwater issues that might arise from a rearrangement of the site. Rather than write these incentives into the agreement, with specific offerings, we have simply referred to them, generally, meaning that we are not obligated to anything additional, but also means that they would reserve the right to make those asks once they have a proposal. The Letter of Intent allows them exclusive rights to develop the property for a short period. COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING: No direct cost for this agreement other than a commitment of exclusive rights for a period of time. REQUESTED ACTION: Motion to recommend that the City Council approve the Letter of Intent with Schifsky Development for the exclusive right to develop the property at 1737 Main Street for the period noted in the agreement.

An abundance of funds for this type of work are available if the units are rented to people meeting certain affordability requirements. These funds are administered through Anoka County's Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA), and come via the CDBG and HOME programs. With the end goal of the assessment being to gauge the feasibility of the project, we asked the consultant to consider a lower fee to perform a very basic walk-thru analysis before moving to a more refined cost estimate. He as agreed to complete this evaluation. A more formal proposal will be shared at the meeting.

Hi Mark, Based on conversations, CR-BPS is proposing a two phased approach to the apartment renovation assessment. The first phase would consist of a site visit and rough estimate of potential costs to upgrade the apartments to livable space. This will include life safety challenges as well as condition upgrades. This phase is proposed to be a fee of $1,750. If approved to move to the next phase, CR-BPS will continue with a total fee of $7,975. If this is acceptable to you, please respond to this email with a notice to proceed.
