Motion carried. IV. PUBLIC HEARING (6:30 PM or shortly thereafter) 1. Preliminary Plat & Planned Unit Development (PUD) – Peltier Estates Administrator Statz introduced this item, noting that this is the third time this project has been submitted. Prior submittals were previously approved by the city council; however, the project has not moved forward. This submittal is the same as previous ones. Planning consultant Phil Carlson reviewed his planning memo, noting that this is a Planned Unit Development (PUD) as there are significant features, such as wetlands and ponding features. With the flexibility of a PUD, the lot sizes are smaller. Staff reported that at one time there was conversation about connecting the cul-de-sac to Brian Drive and that is no longer the plan due to the large wetland complex that would need to be filled. Staff added that a trail easement for a trail that connects to Acorn Park is important. A Trail easement is not shown on a plat – it is recorded as a separate document. The development plans include a trail from the west end of the new cul-de-sac to the north terminus of Brian Drive, where it will connect to the sidewalk there. A portion of that trail will be an elevated boardwalk to limit wetland impacts. An easement over the entire trail segment will need to be provided by the developer, at their cost. Administrator Statz noted that the existing trail segment from the Deer Pass cul-de-sac that was planned to serve the 20 acres to the north may no longer be necessary. Instead, the city would require a trail to be constructed from the entrance of the new development down across the east th edge of the property, adjacent to 20 Avenue (CSAH 54). The city might have to finish the trail th connection between the southern end of Peltier Estates, along 20 Avenue, and the Deer Pass entrance.” Chair Krueger opened the public hearing at 6:49 p.m. Page 2 of 4 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission April 2, 2024 Motion by Chair Krueger to open the public hearing at 6:49p.m. Kari Clark with Sharper Communities addressed the Planning Commission and noted the homes would be detached with loft options. The price point is anticipated to be between $650,000 to $800,000. The square footage is around 1,600sf and Sharper Communities is looking to get started this year. The homes would be built on spec and as they are sold. This would be groundskeeping association with no snow and no mow. Public Comments: Megan Olson who resides at Deer Pass asked what the habitat would look like with the development. Administrator Statz noted that there would be some impacts where you see the streets and homes, but for the most part the wetlands would be left alone. Tree clearing is not part of the plan. There is not a sidewalk planned because it is tight in the right-of-way. Administrator Statz received an email from a resident who asked about the connection to Brian th Drive. The resident’s main concern was about traffic on 20 avenue. Discussion ensued about the path between Brian Drive and the development, the width of the road th for public works operations and addition of the 20 avenue trail. The public hearing was closed at 7:08 p.m. Motion by Commissioner Kalina seconded by Commissioner Nelson to close the public hearing at 7:08 p.m. All in favor. Motion carried. V.
