V. AWARDS, PRESENTATIONS & APPEARANCES
1. None
VI. OLD BUSINESS
1. Site Plan Review & CUP Consideration – Max Storage Enterprises, Inc. & Farrell
Properties, 2010 Fairview Street (Continued)
City Administrator Statz introduced this item and noted the changes to the site plan
presented.
Commissioner Kubat stated he is wondering if there is a reason that there appears to be some
language that is restated within the conditions regarding the uses allowed in the site plan.
Chairperson Broussard-Vickers asked for clarification on Conditions #2 and #3 of the CUP.
City Planner Carlson explained the purpose of Conditions #2 and #3 and noted they can
clarify the wording to make it clearer. He noted they can tighten up the wording and it can
state something that states how the property owners will notify the City of any changes in
use by tenants.
Chairperson Broussard-Vickers asked if they could have contact information on hand for
tenants so they can reach them in the case of an emergency.
City Administrator Statz stated they could ask for that information. He noted they do not
require that from the other storage facility in the City currently. Because this facility will be
allowing different uses on the property, it would not be a bad idea to have that information
on hand in the case they need to reach them.
Motion by Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Commissioner Olson to recommend
approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan for Max Storage Enterprises, Inc.
(Mini Storage) with additions and changes noted by City Staff to Conditions #2, #3,
and #8. All in favor. Motion carried.

2. Centra Homes Site Plan Review – Block 7
City Administrator Statz introduced this item.
Ms. Carla Dunham, Centra Homes, addressed the Commission and provided an overview of
the Site Plan.
Ms. Dunham stated they are proposing two (2) different color schemes and would like the
Commission’s input on their preference. She noted they have provided a list of other
developments in Centerville with the same mixture of siding they plan to use on this project
so they can see how it looks on finished homes.
Acting Chairperson Twohy stated he really likes the way these will look but does not have
a preference on color.
It was the consensus of the Commission to recommend Option #1 for the color scheme.
Motion by Commissioner Kubat, seconded by Commissioner Olson to recommend
approval of Option 1. All in favor. Motion carried.
VII. NEW BUSINESS
1. Site Plan Review – 2050/2070 Main Street
City Administrator Statz introduce this item and reviewed the site plan.
City Planner Carlson noted he would like to make a change to the proposed fencing and they
would like to see the decorative fencing extended another 100 feet beyond the gates.
Ms. Jennifer Haskamp, Swanson/Haskamp Consulting, addressed the Commission. She
noted it was their understanding upon discussions in November, that the purpose of fencing
would be to conceal the yard from the trail along the road. She stated they found that their
previous proposal to extend the decorative fencing 30ft suffices to conceal the yard from the
trail. She stated it does not appear the plans they have reflect the additional 30ft which wrap
the fencing around the corners and stated that is an oversight on their part which they are
happy to correct.
City Administrator Statz stated he feels the cost to extend the fencing 100 feet is something
the developer can most likely find in the budget if they are already planning to extend it an
additional 30 feet.
Acting Chairperson Twohy stated this type of fencing is not cheap and if it cannot be seen
he does not think they should require it be done.
Ms. Haskamp stated there is a large cost difference between 30 feet to 100 feet but if they
want more of the decorative fencing they could discuss going up to 50 feet or something
along those lines if the Commission was in agreeance.

City Administrator Statz stated if it is listed in the CUP that the yard needs to be concealed
from the trail then they can always ask the applicants to add additional fencing if needed
later.
Motion by Commissioner Kuiper, seconded by Kubat to recommend approval of the
Site Plan as submitted for Shingle Creek Capital LLC, with the condition that all
requirements of the City Engineer be followed. All in favor. Motion carried.

IX. Announcements and Updates
1. Council Member Liaison
Council Liaison stated the ice fishing event and contest was great and thanked the Lions club
and the volunteers for their hard work.
2. Administrator’s Report
City Administrator Statz stated they are in need of a few volunteers for Fete Des Lacs;
specifically they are looking for a parade coordinator and a 5K Run Coordinator. He noted
there is also a vacancy on the Parks and Recreation Committee if anyone knows someone
interested in applying.
He provided a brief update on the City projects and their current progress. He noted they are
anticipating an application to come through on Friday from an online retailer looking to build
a fulfillment center on the 40 acres of land to the north of the Max Storage facility. He noted
due to the complexities that can come with a project of this size, they would not set it for a
public hearing right away, but instead will have it before the Commission prior to that.
