Open Meeting Law Review – City Attorney Kurt Glaser City Attorney Kurt Glaser provided an overview on the Open Meetings Law. VI. OLD BUSINESS 1. None VII. NEW BUSINESS 1. Zoning Code Use Interpretation Requests – Max Storage a. Bulk Water Delivery – Proposal 1 Administrator Statz introduced the item as presented in the packet. As stated in the staff memo, the proposed business would store water tanker trucks capable of delivering bulk water for filling of swimming pools, flooding of hockey rinks and other similar uses, including those common to the construction industry, such as for dust control or to water sod or seed for turf establishment. The Page 1 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission February 6, 2024 business may pursue a tank filling system within the bay, but they will also use exterior hydrants with permission from various water utilities or cities. Administrator Statz noted that no further action is needed by the Planning and Zoning Commission. b. Auto Detailing – Proposal 2 Administrator Statz introduced this item as presented in the packet, noting that the proposed business consists of auto detailing (intense interior and exterior cleaning), window tinting and the installation of other auto accessories, such as protective films, etc. No vehicle repair would be done. Activities involved could be considered closely similar to a car wash, which is permitted use in the Industrial district. The owner of the auto detailing business addressed the Planning and Zoning Commission and confirmed the information that was provided by Administrator Statz. Staff recommends that the planning and Zoning Commission take formal action to endorse this recommendation or make a different interpretation. c. UTV Outfitter – Proposal 3 Administrator Statz introduced this item as presented in the packet, noting that the proposed business installs lights, decals, and other accessories on Utility Terrain Vehicles (UTVs), as required to outfit them for use by public safety agencies (police, fire, etc.). No vehicle repair is done. Activities involved in the installation of lights, decals and accessories seem to most closely mirror that of machine and repair shops (indoors), which is a permitted use within the zoning district. Staff’s recommendation is to allow the use as a permitted use with the finding that it is closely similar to Machine and Repair Shops (indoor) uses, which is a permitted use on the Table of Allowed Uses in the City Code. d. Cabinet Maker – Proposal 4 Administrator Statz introduced this item as presented in the packet, noting that the proposed business intends to store company trucks inside the bay. Woodworking and cabinet manufacturing and assembly will also take place within the building. Provisions for dust collection have been made and the unit is equipped with fire suppression equipment. The Zoning Administrator has determined that the cabinet making, and assembly portion of the business is a Conditional Use, allowed via a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) under the Manufacturing, processing, assembly except recycling and waste use category. Administrator Statz added that a CUP application should be submitted for consideration as required by the city code and the building’s recorded CUP (conditions 3 & 4). No further action is needed by the Planning and Zoning Commission at this time. Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Olson to Accept Proposals 2 (auto detailer) and 3 (UTV Outfitter) with the findings recommended by staff. All in favor. Motion carried.

Council member Koski also reported that he recently attended the Anoka County Local Government officials meeting (meetings are held quarterly). He reported that in 2023 the legislature passed a bill on highways trunks that prohibit improvements from increasing traffic volumes.
