that there was a COVID cleaning. Council Member Koski stated that he was not so concerned for

VIII. OLD BUSINESS
1. Resolution #21-0XX – Submitting a List of Eligible Nominees to Anoka County for
the Open Manager Position on Rice Creek Watershed District Board of Managers.
Administrator Statz explained that there currently was a lawsuit at the Supreme Court level
(Decision due January, 2022) regarding the previous appointment by Anoka County, for choosing
a candidate who was in the position and not one (1) that was provided, as endorsed, by
communities who submitted timely. He stated that no one from Centerville has applied but several
applicants from other communities within the district have (Blaine, Circle Pines and Lino Lakes).
It was stated that two (2) candidates were committed but three (3) were required. Administrator
Statz felt that it was imperative to endorse the collaborative resolution, but that he had not received
a listing of candidates from the City of Circle Pines as of yet.
Several members of Council had concern for approving a list of candidates without reviewing
them. Discussion ensued regarding who could qualify for the position, the importance of giving a
voice of the cities involved (Blaine, Centerville, Circle Pines, Lino Lakes, Lexington and Spring
Lake Park), the areas covered by the Watershed District with a part of Washington County
included, that there were five (5) districts with District 3 and 4 being served by two (2) Columbus
Township residents.
Mayor Love stated that the item would be held to later in the meeting providing an opportunity for
Administrator Statz to obtain the listing of candidates.
2. Business Water Connection Discount Program
Administrator Statz stated that if businesses were to have prepaid water connection fees prior to
the institution of the current program, would they be given retro-active credit for those fees paid.
He stated that there is also the concern of prepaying prior to connection and questioned whether
that should be clearly defined. He stated that an option for expanding the program for eligibility
would be to include the M-1 and M-2 Zoning Districts and questioned whether to extend the
deadline to 2022. He felt that this would bolster the program.
Discussion ensued regarding connection requirements, inclusion of M-1 and M-2 Zoning Districts,
new businesses only, applying the amount paid previously to the amount of fees at present time
and the business paying the remaining amount owed at 50%, concern for the deadline date being
extended, retroactivity to current businesses only, length of sustainability for funding the program,
COVID funding to offset the funding, and a motion for each individual requirement modification
of the program.

Council Member King clarified this applies to M-1 and M-2 zoning districts in the downtown area.
City Administrator Statz stated the M-1 and M-2 boundaries are well defined. Council Member
Koski reiterated this was initially designed to assist existing businesses but it also incentivizes new
businesses to develop in the downtown area. Administrator Statz stated that this is to extend
eligibility to new businesses in the M-1 and M-2 Zoning Districts.
Motion by Council Member Koski, and seconded by Council Member Lakso, to Approve to
Extend Eligibility to New Businesses in M-1 and M-2 Zoning Districts.

dragging out.

Extending the Deadline for Half Price Water Connection Fees to July 31, 2022.
Discussion ensued regarding road restrictions, frost going out and the possibility of extending
through September.
Council Member Mosher amended his Original Motion: to Approve to Extend the Program
Deadline for Half Price Water Connection Fees to July 31, 2022 with the inclusion of
additional discussion of the program deadline at the second meeting in June to consider
whether to continue the program. Council Member Koski accepted Council Member
Mosher’s friendly amendment. All in favor. Motion carried.

3. Old Mill Estates Boardwalk Engineering Proposal
Administrator Statz stated that Council has discussed this item previously. He stated that it has
been discussed that a boardwalk be constructed through the wetlands of the Old Mill Estates, at
the owner’s expense net of construction of bituminous trail by the developer, rather than the
proposed close proximity to Mr. Palmer’s home. Administrator Statz stated the next step in the
process is to have engineering documents drawn up and bids taken. He stated that he is requesting
that Council consider approval of what is in the packet, but to include a contingency that staff seek
preliminary bids at minimal engineering costs. City Administrator Statz will seek detailed bids if
preliminary estimates prove feasible. City Administrator Statz clarified that there would be no
impact to the wetlands and a no loss certificate could be issued.
Council Member Koski was concerned with the price hike in materials and suggested a possible
community project.
Administrator Statz stated the City would take ownership and maintain it, but will not be
responsible for plowing it in the winter. The next step is to present preliminary bids to the
homeowner.
Council Member King questioned whether all trail easements are the same. Administrator Statz
stated all easements are treated differently and clarified the City will not spend the city’s money
without the homeowner, Mr. Palmer’s monetary contribution.
Motion by Council Member Lakso, second by Council Member Koski, to Approve Old Mill
Estate Boardwalk Engineering Proposal Contingent on a Phased Approach that Would
Allow for Preliminary Bids. A roll call vote was taken. Council Members King, Koski, Lakso
and Mosher voted in favor. Mayor Love opposed. Motion carried (4/1).

Main Street from B-2 (Main Street Commercial) to B-1 (Commercial)
Administrator Statz reviewed the information that was presented to the Planning and Zoning
Commission. City Planner Carlson provided a brief review of his memorandum summarizing the
rezoning that would need to take place from B-2 (Main Street Commercial to B-1 (Commercial)
and stated that a Conditional Use Permit would be needed for outside storage and usage.
Planner Carlson stated 2050 Main Street has an existing building that previously was utilized by
Northern Forest Products. He stated that a building supply company also desires to utilize the
vacant lot located next door at 2070 Main Street for staging of materials. Council discussed
various solutions to the fencing and screening issues, recommended more detail and enhancements
with the overall appearance of the front of the property.
Planner Carlson stated that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended the rezoning of the
property and granting a CUP.
Administrator Statz mentioned improvements could be made to the west side of the building to
enhance the overall appearance of the building. Planner Carlson also noted the applicants were
present to answer any questions.
After Council discussion, City Planner Carlson restated the following concerns: cedar fencing in
the front to make outdoor look more appealing, creating privacy with trees, berms, etc., visibility
of material from the street and trail, height of the materials, and the installation of a canopy.
Mr. Lucas Wiborg, Shingle Creek Capital, stated that the company often stores asphalt shingles
outside and stated that due to weight, they can only be stored two (2) pallets high. He also stated
that the proposed fencing is for security purposes and the goal is to plant trees to provide screening
rather than fencing. Planner Carlson questioned the height of the two (2) pallets. Mr. Wiborg
stated approximately 8’ tall.
Mr. Wiborg stated that their tenant is a national roofing supply company with locations all across
the United States and three (3) locations within Minnesota. He stated that the Minneapolis location
desires to relocate to Centerville. He stated that the other two (2) locations are in Medina and
Lakeville.
Discussion ensued regarding the Comprehensive Plan guiding the property as Commercial,
currently 2070 Main Street needs remedial soil corrections as Shingle Creek Capital would provide
to some extent, screening modifications, MPCA requirements, esthetics of the building, preferred
retail on 2070 Main Street rather than outside storage and height of products not exceeding 4’
above street level.
There was concern that the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) would run with the land allowing for a
future buyer to operate say an auto supply company, for example on the site. Attorney Glaser
stated that the CUP is for the operation of a building supply company and if any other company
desired to come in and operate outside storage on the property they could not. He stated that it
would need to be another building supply company for the current CUP to continue to run with
the land.

that this is Considered to be the Final Reading of Ord. #119, Second Series as Presented with
the Ability of the City Attorney to Make Minor Modifications to the CUP and Major
Modifications being Brought Back Before the Council for Approval.
Council Member King asked why it needed to be stated that it was not the first reading and a final.
Attorney Glaser stated that there was a State Statute that requires two (2) readings of an ordinance
and an associated penalty for not doing so. Attorney Glaser stated that there is an urgency to
approving a land use request and with the potential for cancellation of the second meeting in
November.
All in favor. Motion carried.
Mr. Wiborg stated that he felt that it was a high quality development, planting of flowers at the
entrance, painting a portion of the west side of the building giving it a more vibrant look would be
some of the items that they will be completing.
Additional discussion ensued regarding fencing, visual aesthetics, visibility from the street, type
of vegetation, screening of a double row of trees and that the site plan review process will happen
at a later date.
Attorney Glaser stated that he could add a condition to Conditions #4 that the height of outside
storage cannot be visible from the trail on the north side of the subject property to the CUP.
Council Member Lakso agrees with updates to the building and would also encourage Council to
create a minimum design plan for any further developments on Main Street.
City Administrator Statz stated the CUP could allow for design details and flexibility in the
landscape design may allow for additional architectural appeal. Planner Carlson requested adding
Architectural Elevations as Item #e under Conditions #16.
Motion by Council Member King, seconded by Council Member Lakso to Approve Res. #21-
019 and Conditional Use Permit with the Approved Modifications (Conditions, #4 Adding
Language “The Height of Outside Storage Cannot be Visible from the Trail on the North
Side of the Subject Property” and the addition of Item #”e, Architectural Elevations”).
Discussion ensued regarding fence being opaque, cedar or similar for the entire frontage and 40’
east along the lot line enclosing the customer parking area, Planner Carlson suggested adding
opaque to Conditions #8 and Ms. Jennifer Haskamp requested changing “adjoining properties”
with “adjoining rights-of-way” in Conditions, #4. Additional discussion took place regarding the
mature tree-line along the east side of the property which will assist in screening the abutting
property to the east.

poles and lighting on them. He stated that the Committee is recommending approval by the

directed staff to allow for every other street light in the downtown area (along Main Street near
Centerville Road) to operate saving funding and decreasing the excess lighting in the area. He
explained that with the installation of the Holiday wreaths, it is required that the lighting be
illuminated to electrify the lighting installed on the wreaths. He suggested that for a temporary
