have not been modified, since the submitted plan is the same as that of previous submittals.
Previous submittals went through several iterations with the the Planning Commission and city staff. The
versions of the plans and plat that are a part of this proposal represent the final version of those plans, after
addressing earlier comments. These plans were approved by the Planning Commission. This does not,
however, obligate this Planning Commission in any way.

Peltier Estates – Narrative
Sharper Communities would like to (re)introduce Peltier Estates – a 24 unit detached townhome
community. Finished lots will be sold to Sharper Homes (of the same owners), who will complete the
townhome builds. Sharper Homes has a long history of building homes in Centerville, and we’re excited
to get this new project under way.
It is our intention to tailor this project to suit the property as best as possible. Due to minimal upland
space as well as limited availability of fill material, this property is best suited for slab on grade housing.
The preference for slab-on-grade helps us determine the best house style and ideal clientele, and
ultimately the requirement for a planned unit development.
Detached townhomes work very well in this situation. Our ideal clientele are small families or “empty
nest” parents looking to downsize without the need, or desire, of a basement space or large yard. In
this case, the association-maintained exterior is a major selling point. These clients are looking for a
smaller, but still upscale, home in a community they are excited to be a part of.
Home prices are expected to be somewhere around $500,000 and $650,000.

ZONING: R-2
INTRODUCTION
Sharper Homes applied to the City in 2021
to plat the 18.7-acre parcel known as the
property at the north end of the City into 24 home lots. The
property is challenging to develop Ï it has large areas of
scattered wetlands that make efficient development
difficult. They have applied for a planned unit development
(PUD) to allow smaller lots along a single cul-de-sac street.
The plan was shelved until now and they are re-applying for
preliminary plat and PUD approval. The plan being
considered now in 2024 is identical to the 2021 plan.
The property is zoned R-2 and guided LowDensity
Residential in the Comprehensive Plan.
PROCESS
The process and details of the code requirements are
summarized in the attached memorandum from City
Attorney Kurt Glaser from February 25, 2021. Those same
facts apply for this application.
In Centerville a PUD is processed as a conditional use permit
(CUP), with criteria in the code for reviewing a PUD,
discussed below. City standards can be modified within a
PUD if there are conditions that warrant it, which there are
for this property and this project, with the following
comparison to the R-2 zoning standards:
April 2, 2024
Centerville Planning & Zoning Commission
Page 2 of 5
RE: CUP for PUD Development Plan, Preliminary Plat Ï Peltier Estates
Minimum lot area Ï 15,000 sq ft minimum required; proposed lot sizes range from about
4,100 to 5,600 sq ft
Lot width Ï 100 ft minimum required; proposed widths are about 49 ft to 66 ft
Front setback Ï 35 ft required; 13 ft average proposed
Rear setback Ï 25 ft required; 10 ft average proposed (backing up to common open
space, not adjacent property)
Side setback Ï 10 ft required; 5 ft proposed
Overall, the residential density is only about 1.3 units/acre, owing to the large areas of wetland,
open water, and common open space. This is a classic example of the application of a PUD Ï to
design the property as a whole, allowing flexibility in the strict application of zoning standards.
PLAT
The preliminary plat consists of 25 lots and a public street ROW: 24 small home lots along a new
th
street, Peltier Court, a cul-de-sac about 820 ft in length, and a 25lot encompassing all of the rest
of the property as common open space, including all the wetlands. All of Lot 25 is a drainage and
utility easement. The plat is illustrated below.

RE: CUP for PUD Development Plan, Preliminary Plat Ï Peltier Estates
TRAIL
A feature of the plan from 2021 is a trail connection with a boardwalk between the end of the
new cul-de-sac of Peltier Court to the cul-de-sac of Brian Drive south of the property. This
connection is important for bike and pedestrian access between the neighborhoods and will be a
condition of approval, although not shown on the plat itself Ï it will be recorded as a separate
easement with the County. A street connection is not feasible given the extent of the wetlands.
PUD STANDARDS
Section 156.210 of the zoning code has the general requirements for a PUD. That section says the
City may approve the PUD if it satisfies all the following standards:
(A)The development shall be planned so that it is consistent with the city comprehensive plan;
(B)The PUD is an effective and unified treatment of the development possibilities on the project site and the
development plan provides for the preservation of unique natural amenities such as streams, stream banks,
wooded cover, rough terrain and similar areas;
(C)The planned unit development proposal appears to harmonize with both existing and proposed development
in the area surrounding the project site;
(D)The tract of land shall be under unified control at the time of application and scheduled to be developed as
one unit. In addition, the development plan must include provisions for the preservation of natural amenities;
(E)Each phase of the proposed development, as it is proposed to be completed, is of sufficient size, composition
and arrangement that its construction, marketing and operation are feasible as a complete unit, and that
provision and construction of dwelling units and common open space are balanced and coordinated;
(F)The PUD will not create an excessive burden on parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities
which serve or are proposed to serve the district;
(G)The proposed total development is designed in a manner as to form a desirable and
unified environment
ithin its own bounda
wries;
(H)The plans required under this section must be submitted in a form which will satisfy the requirements of
Chapter 153 for the preliminary and final plats;
(I)Permission to develop specific parcels of land under the provisions which follow shall be binding on all
construction. Any change in the development plan after approval by the City Council shall be resubmitted for
consideration; and
(J)Subdivision review under the subdivision chapter shall be carried out simultaneously with the review of a
under this sectio
PUDn.
As discussed above, the overall design and layout of the plan satisfies these standards Ï the plat
works around the wetlands and is a unified whole resulting in a reasonable plan.

ENGINEERING ISSUES
The plans were reviewed and approved in concept by the City Engineer previously in 2021 relative
to grading, drainage, stormwater management, street design, and provision of City utilities. The
current proposal will follow those plans and is acceptable.

MEMORANDUM
TO: PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: KURT B. GLASER, CITY ATTORNEY
PHIL CARLSON, CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: PELTIER ESTATES - PUBLIC HEARING FOR PLANNED UNIT
DEVELOPMENT
DATE: 2/25/2021
CC: MARK STATZ, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
The applicant, Sharper Communities, LLC, asks the City for a Planned Unit Development for
Peltier Estates. This memo describes the procedure and standards for granting a PUD.
Procedure for acting on a request for a Planned Unit Development (ÐPUDÑ)
A conditional or interim use permit shall be required of all PUDs. The city may approve the PUD
if it finds the development is consistent with the following principals:
(A) The development shall be planned so that it is consistent with the city comprehensive plan;
(B) The PUD is an effective and unified treatment of the development possibilities on the
project site and the development plan provides for the preservation of unique natural
amenities such as streams, stream banks, wooded cover, rough terrain and similar areas;
(C) The planned unit development proposal appears to harmonize with both existing and
proposed development in the area surrounding the project site;
(D) The tract of land shall be under unified control at the time of application and scheduled to
be developed as one unit. In addition, the development plan must include provisions for
the preservation of natural amenities;
(E) Each phase of the proposed development, as it is proposed to be completed, is of sufficient
size, composition and arrangement that its construction, marketing and operation are
feasible as a complete unit, and that provision and construction of dwelling units and
common open space are balanced and coordinated;
(F) The PUD will not create an excessive burden on parks, schools, streets and other public
facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the district;
(G) The proposed total development is designed in a manner as to form a desirable and unified
environment within its own boundaries;
(H) The plans required under this section must be submitted in a form which will satisfy the
requirements of Chapter 153 for the preliminary and final plats;
(I) Permission to develop specific parcels of land under the provisions which follow shall be
binding on all construction. Any change in the development plan after approval by the
City Council shall be resubmitted for consideration; and
(J) Subdivision review under the subdivision chapter shall be carried out simultaneously with
the review of a PUD under this section.
Next, the Commission must consider the facts presented during the public hearing. The relevant
information follows.
The ApplicantÓs PUD request
APPLICABLE R-2 STANDARDS
The following standards apply in a R-2 zoning district:
Minimum lot area is 15,000 square feet.
Minimum lot width is 100 feet.
Front setback is 35 feet.
Rear setback is 25 feet.
Side setback is 10 feet.
REQUESTED VARIANCES
This development is in an R-2 zoning district. The land is comprised of large areas of wetland
interspersed with high ground suitable for development. These large tracks of wetland are a
challenge to develop. The planners needed to alter the wetlands to join areas of high ground
suitable to build houses with streets to access those homes. These areas follow the existing contours
of the land. This minimizes the areas where land infill is necessary to join areas of high ground.
The developer now asks for variances related to lot size and building placement to accommodate
the challenge of developing this land.
The developer asks for a variance from each of the R-2 standards stated above. Given the
undulating nature of the proposed lots and lot configurations, there is no uniformity in their
requested variances. The developer proposes to define the variances for each lot on a diagram.
(This diagram will be drawn once approvals are recommended. This diagram is similar to the
Grading & Drainage Plan included with this memo.) Generally stated, the requested variances are
as follows.
Minimum lot area. The proposed lots vary in area from 4,166 to 5,557 square feet.
Minimum lot width. The proposed lot widths vary from 48.9 to 65.7 feet wide.
Front setback. As proposed, the average front setback is approximately 13 feet.
Rear setback. As proposed, the average front setback is approximately 10 feet.
Side setback. As proposed the side setbacks are 5 feet.
LOT SIZE AND SETBACKS
During the design process in 2017, lot location, size, setbacks and backyard requirements were
negotiated and discussed. The layout of the development shown is the result of those discussions.
The developer is not proposing any changes to that layout with this application.
NOTABLE FACTS
In 2017, the City rezoned this parcel from R-1 to R-2. The City rezoned this parcel to accommodate
this proposed development and lot configuration which are the subject of this PUD request.
The Rice Creek Watershed District approved the proposed plat configuration where homes and
roads follow the existing areas of high ground.
It is an important goal of the City to have an interconnected roadway system. The proposed street
within Peltier Estates does not connect to Brian Drive. Creating this connection through the
existing wetland would be cost prohibitive and resulted in large wetland impacts that could disturb
the natural function of the larger wetland complex. The developer proposes a trail and boardwalk
to create a pedestrian connection with the rest of the City, enabling residents to access nearby parks
and trails without walking on the county highway. The boardwalk connection minimizes wetland
impacts.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The CityÓs Comprehensive Plan (Growth Management Plan) guides the property for Low/Medium
Density Residential. The R-2 zoning district is a low-density residential district. These 24 lots are
consistent with the density aspect of the Comprehensive Plan and the R-2 district, given the
undevelopable wetland portions of this plat. The density of this plat will not change since the
wetlands will be protected by easement against future development.
CITY OF CENTERVILLE, ANOKA COUNTY, MINN.
Findings and Decision regarding
Conditional Use Permit/Planned Unit Development
The Planning & Zoning Commission met on March 3, 2021 to hold a public hearing to
consider a request of Sharper Communities, LLC for a Planned Unit Development of
their property.
FINDINGS:
1) The property is currently described as:
The North Half of the Northeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 14,
Township 31 North, Range 22 West, Anoka County, Minnesota, except the
following described property:
That part of said North Half of the Northeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of
Section 14, Township 31 North, Range 22 West, Anoka County, Minnesota,
described as follows: Beginning at the Southeast corner of said North Half of the
Northeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter; thence North 125 feet along the east
line of said Section 14; thence westerly 348.5 feet on a line parallel to the south
line of said North Half of the Northeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter; thence
southerly 125 feet to a point on the south line of said North Half of the Northeast
Quarter of the Southeast Quarter; thence easterly 348.5 feet to the place of
beginning.
2) The applicant has submitted a request for a Planned Unit Development in conjunction
with applications for subdivision. The proposed development provides for 24 units of
detached townhomes.
3) City Code Sec 156.210 specifies that approval of a Planned Unit Development be in
substantially the same form as for approval of a conditional use permit.
4) The Commission finds that the unique characteristics of this property make
development difficult due to numerous wetlands on the property.
5) The Commission finds that the development could not occur at a reasonable density
without some flexibility in the design of the plat, lot size, and building placement.
6) The Commission finds that development will benefit the City by granting variances to
the following standards which apply in the R-2 zoning district:
a) Minimum lot area of 15,000 square feet.
b) Minimum lot width of 100 feet.
1
c) Front setback of 35 feet.
d) Rear setback of 25 feet.
e) Side setback of 10 feet.
7) The Commission finds that each element of City Code Sec 156.210, as required for
approval of a Planned Unit Development, has been met by the proposed plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
rd
The Planning & Zoning Commission, by its action on this 3 day of March 2021,
recommends that the council grant approval of the Planned Unit Development, subject to
the following:
1) Developer shall execute a Planned Unit Development agreement to be
approved by City Council.
2) Staff recommendations are forwarded to Council with this recommendation.
3) The elements of the Planned Unit Development shall be enforced by a
Conditional Use Permit which includes the following:
a. The variances approved in these findings shall be set forth in a detailed
survey drawing.
b. Easements governing the wetlands on the Plat, for their perpetual
maintenance by the homeowners, and with prohibitions against future
development.
c. Construction and perpetual maintenance by the homeowners of a trail
connecting the development to Brian Drive.

Centerville Lake Water Quality Project
The Rice Creek Watershed District was awarded a $954,500 Clean Water Fund grant for an alum treatment on
Centerville Lake. Matt Kocian, Lake and Stream Program Manager, said: “We’re very excited for this project, and
confident that it will improve water quality conditions.” If possible, the goal would be to complete the first “dose”
of treatment as early as April of 2024, with a second dose programmed for the spring of 2026. The watershed plans
to hold some public informational meetings in the coming months as part of a larger public engagement strategy,
including social media posts and appearing at city meetings, among other things. Mr. Kocian presented information
at the January 24 City Council meeting and answered questions on project logistics. The watershed is seeking
partner participation on the cost of the project from the two cities and the county parks department. Centerville’s
share is estimated at $35,000. The City Council will consider their support of this cost at their March 27th meeting.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
New Planning & Zoning Commissioners
The Planning & Zoning Commission will have two new members sworn in at their April 2 meeting. Matt
McCabe and Jeannie Seppala have been formally appointed by the City Council and are being brought up
to speed on everything going on in terms of development proposals around the city.
1687 Westview Street (LaLonde Property)
A Memorandum of Understanding was approved at the December 13 City Council meeting, outlining the
various facets of a potential development deal involving Tax Increment Financing in support of a 110-unit
market rate apartment building. The development was also presented to the planning commission for a
sketch plan review on January 2, 2024. Ebert Companies is now working to prepare an application for a
Preliminary Plat and PUD as the next step in the entitlement process.
The developer for the LaLonde Proposal will be on hand at the Town Hall Open House on Monday, March
25th to answer questions regarding their proposed development. Recent updates to the site plan have the
building shifted more to the south, to accommodate a fire lane along the north side of the building.
Additionally, the parking lot on the west side of the building has been eliminated in lieu of more underground
parking. This eliminates the need for improvements to Westview Street.
Peltier Estates
Sharper Homes has submitted an application for a Preliminary Plat and Planned Unit Development for the
th
19 acres in the northeast portion of the city along 20 Avenue, just north of Deer Pass. The development
th
proposal features 24, detached townhomes served by a cul-de-sac off 20 Avenue. A trail connection to the
sidewalk on the west side of Brian Drive will be made from the end of the cul-de-sac. A public hearing on
nd
the development will be held on April 2
, at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting (6:30 PM at City
Hall). The proposal is substantially the same as what was proposed in 2017 and again in 2021.
rd
Old Mill Estates 3 Addition
rd
The developer of Old Mill Estates is proposing a 3
Addition concept that went before the Planning &
Zoning Commission for a “Concept Review” at their
th
March 4, meeting. This subdivision was always a
st
part of the discussion when Old Mill Estates (1 and
nd
2
Additions) was platted. However, the developer
needed more time to work out wetland and power line
easement issues. With some of those issues more in
hand, the proposed subdivision would break up Lot 8,
Block 2, into 4 lots (3 new lots). We anticipate a
formal application for Preliminary Plat, leading to a
public hearing in May.
Block 7 Property (Downtown)
Kennedy Property Development
Staff has not received any meaningful response from
Kennedy Development.
Other Interested Parties
Our realtor has been speaking with a developer who
is interested in exploring up to 50 townhome units on
the site. Their product involves 3-story buildings, in
a high-density arrangement, like row-homes.
1737 Main Street (Block 3)
An interested party contacted the city, wishing to explore a retail/office storefront for a real estate business
with apartments above.
7087 Centerville Road – Connor James Salon (Block 8)
The required fencing has been installed along the west edge of the parking lot. An inspection of the seeding
will take place in the spring to wrap up the initial items on the Interim Use Permit.
stnd
Old Mill Estates 1 and 2 Additions
The developer has had surveyors working on site to complete necessary documentation for close-out of the
development’s Rice Creek Watershed District Permit, which is the main remaining item to be addressed
before we can look at closing out the development escrow.
The city continues to work with the developer and builders on site clean-up items.
Centerville Storage
The facility is now open for business. The developer has completed drainage corrections along the north
side of the facility and will continue to work on watershed permit close-out.
Rehbein Commercial
Developer securities have been received by the city for 35% of the initial project costs and will be held
through the 2-year warranty period, which will end in 2024.
Kwik Trip
The city council approved a reduction in the development’s security, with the final escrow release coming
at the end of the 2-year warranty period (Dec. ’24)
Rehbein Industrial
Developer securities have been received by the city for 35% of the initial project costs and will be held
through the 2-year warranty period, which will end in 2024.
Bay View Villas (Waterworks Site)
Application for a wetland permit close-out has now been received by the watershed and is in process for
approval. Several minor punch list items remain.
Max Storage (Fairview Street)
The building has been given a Certificate of Occupancy and is now fully operational.
Drilling Estates
The owner of the westernmost two lots on Mound Trail is looking to shift the common lot line between the
two. After some discussion, all parties agree that platting the property (it’s not currently platted) would be
the best way to accomplish this. An application for preliminary plat has now been received and a public
hearing will be held at the May Planning and Zoning Meeting. The plat would not create any new lots. The
plat will be jointly signed by Centerville and Lino Lakes, since the properties straddle the municipal
boundary.
Development Inquiries
Real Estate business owner looking to build storefront for “Staging” business, with some finished space
nd
for storage of staging items. Also interested in 2 floor apartments.
Commercial Investor looking to purchase a commercial/industrial building in Centerville and convert it
to commercial/industrial condominiums.
