Administrator Statz introduced this item, and asked the developer to explain the changes they made
since the public hearing in May.
Presentation by Developers
Marcus Ebert with Ebert Construction thanked the Commission for having them back and explained
that they listened to the feedback from the May public hearing and incorporated some of the requested
changes.
Notable changes:
1. The west portion (shown in orange) on the north leg of the building has been moved on the
west side of the south leg of the building, thereby lowering the height as viewed from the
west quite a bit.
2. Two units were then removed from the third floor at the west end of the south leg to give the
building a softer appeal.
3. A combination of a fence with arborvitae is proposed to draw a hard line between the
property and the school from a safety perspective.
Questions from the Commission
Commissioner Nelson asked about garbage and the ability of the trucks to turn around. Jacob
Budenski, with Ebert Construction, reviewed the location of the dumpster caddy on the plan and
reviewed options for trash removal.
Commissioner Seppala asked if the dumpster caddy was big enough for 300 residents. Mr. Budenski
noted that there would be two or three dumpsters (trash and recycling) and the size is sufficient.
Commissioner Thompson asked what the trash enclosure would look like. Mr. Budenski noted that
there would be a fence around the dumpster. The fence does not match the fence around the property,
but he noted that that fence could be any color.
Commissioner Kalina asked why there are gaps in the fence on the north side. Mr. Budenski stated
that it is for the arborvitae. The Commission expressed preference for a continuous fence. Mr. Ebert
said that would not be a problem.
Commissioner Seppala asked about the noise from the garbage haulers backing up. She also asked if
the city code allows garbage bins to be placed on the street. Administrator Statz noted that the trash
needs to be hidden from public view, adding that he doesnÓt know that it would be a problem for a
couple hours.

Commissioner Kalina asked where moving vans would unload. Mr. Budenski noted the primary
location, which is at the main entrance. Commissioner McCabe asked if the times are staggered with
several people moving in at once and Mr. Ebert explained that they do that when needed.
Commissioner Seppala asked for clarification on the number of parking spaces with 2 units being
removed. Mr. Budenski noted that the parking ratio is the same. Commissioner Kalina asked if a fire
truck would park on the north end and the developer said yes. Administrator Statz noted that the Fire
Marshall discussed the project with the developer and made modifications in the northwest to
accommodate access to the northwest corner of the building. The Fire Marshall is comfortable with
staging vehicles for adequate coverage for the entire building. Originally the plan only had access to
the south and east sides of the building.
Commissioner Kalina asked about the number of people that would be permitted in the units. Mr.
Ebert noted that it would be 2-4 people for a two bedroom. Chair Krueger asked if these restrictions
would be done in the leases and the developer said yes and there would be background checks. Mr.
Budenski added that all people living in a unit need to be listed on the lease. Commissioner Kalina
asked about temporary stays and Mr. Ebert noted that the one-off scenarios would be impossible to
predict, but there would be a full-time person on staff who would monitor and bring situation(s), as
needed, to their attention. The property manager and other staff would be monitoring the premises.
Presentation by Administrator Statz (summary)
Administrator Statz reviewed his slides as presented in the packet. A summary of the slides follows.
Slide 1 Î Land Use
The proposed use is a residential use with a density between 12 and 45 units/acre.
Slide 2 Î Preliminary Plat
The developer has proposed a two-lot plat to qualify for Tax Increment Financing (TIF) should the
city elect to offer it. Administrator Statz noted that there have been some questions about the shape of
the lot proposal, noting that the city does not get to draw the lines, the developer does, and the city
evaluates whether those lots meet the requirements laid out in the code. Administrator Statz
explained that both lots meet the requirements in the code. He added that just because the
Commission feels the proposal does not need two lots is not a reason to deny the plat; there would
need to be an issue with public health or safety, such as one access to a public street on a curve.
Commissioner Seppala stated that information about the two lots being split to qualify for TIF was not
disclosed as she did not find it anywhere in the materials for the Planning and Zoning Commission,
adding that she found it when she was reading her water bill. Administrator Statz reviewed criteria
for parcel(s) to qualify for TIF, noting that our financial consultants confirmed that splitting lots for
TIF consideration is common.
Commissioner Seppala asked about needing to address the Planning and Zoning Commission to
explain a reason for a lot split, and Administrator Statz noted that a reason is not necessary because
the Commission would be reviewing the plat. Administrator Statz added that part of the disclosure
process, when issuing a public notice, was disclosing that the lot split was in preparation for an
apartment.

City of Centerville Planning and
Zoning Commission
June 4, 2024
Attorney Glaser added that the city has a legal duty to approve a lot split if the applicant meets
whatever criteria applies, and as a city, we do not have to have a reason or duty to ask. Attorney
Glaser added that private landowners have rights to do with their property whatever the law allows
them to do and that itÓs our job as a city to effectuate that, and in this case, thatÓs exactly what the
situation is. The applicant wants to split the lot and take advantage of the TIF tools, and the way they
decided to do it qualifies under the city rules, therefore we must let him do it.
Slide 3 Î Density
The proposed density meets the Zoning Code. Administrator Statz said stated that the code was
recently changed to align with the Master Plan and Downtown Master Plan, adding that we were
quite open about that. We had a public hearing and there was one person that commented. It was
explained why we were doing it, adding that because we knew there was a proposal, and in reviewing
it and others that we have received or talked about with developers previously, we understood that
density was appropriate for the scale and size of the buildings that were contemplated in the
downtown master plan for this district.
Slide 4 Î Building Height
Administrator Statz reviewed the definition of building height, which is the vertical distance from the
average elevation of the finished grade at the front of the building, to the highest point of the roof for
flat roofs. He noted that no structures or buildings may be erected to a height exceeding 35 feet without
the issuance of a conditional use permit (CUP). He reviewed (city code 156.121) provisions for
increases to building height with a CUP. Administrator Statz noted that a conditional use permit is
allowed with reasonable conditions. He added that all development in this district is done through a
conditional use permit and planned unit development and that in the staffÓs view, this building meets
the definition of height requirements in the city code.
Commissioner Thompson asked if the Commission could deny a conditional use permit on the height
of a building.
Administrator Statz stated that they could not deny a conditional use permit if the building meets the
conditions. Commissioner Thompson asked a few clarifying questions about conditional use permits
and Administrator Statz explained that conditional uses can have reasonable conditions allowed and
planned unit developments are allowed.
Commissioner Kalina asked who issues a conditional use permit. Administrator Statz explained that
the Planning Commission issues a recommendation to council and council approves it.
Commissioner Seppala asked about the Stantec analysis that says the height of the proposed building
would be at least 35 feet as defined in the Centerville Zoning Code but would appear 48 feet in height
on the north side due to the ground level, on the northwest corner of the buildings.
Administrator Statz explained that the Stantec memo has three different options for the Planning and
Zoning Commission to consider: one for approval, another one is for approval with enhanced
conditions, and one is for denial. Since staff heard a mix of options, they prepared three options.
Page 4 of 16
City of Centerville Planning and
Zoning Commission
June 4, 2024
Discussion ensued about the building height. The City of Centerville Code height is based on the east
elevation. Some codes will take into consideration the entire perimeter of the building. Administrator
Statz noted that the developer has made efforts to soften the height.
Slide 5 Î Parking
Administrator Statz reviewed this slide, highlighting the number of parking spaces required per code,
and explaining that a conditional use permit may be granted to provide fewer parking spaces when it
is clearly demonstrated by the applicant that the use will not require the number of spaces indicated.
Administrator Statz also explained a condition for proof of parking, whereby the land being held in a
landscape reserve in the event the use or parking needs change could be used. He added that he thinks
proof of parking is a nice way of ensuring that there are no issues with parking overflowing into the
school and/or streets. Administrator Statz also mentioned that the conditional use permit has further
restrictions, which allow the city to restrict the number of units being rented if parking were to become
a problem.
Commission Kalina asked if the developer would be charging for parking and the developer
responded that they are.
Administrator Statz reviewed his slide on parking ratios, also showing ratios on similar projects in
Farmington and Delano.
Commissioner Seppala asked if the other communities had a land-locked issue like we do. Mr. Ebert
explained that Delano is more like Centerville and there have not been reports of problems there.
Commissioner Kalina asked if their code allows for on-street parking. Mr. Ebert and his colleague
confirmed there have not been any problems reported and that driving by every night on the way
home (for 2 years) the parking lot has not been full. Commissioner McCabe asked about parking
conditions to gain a better understanding of the similarities with the Delano project.
Commissioner Olson asked if anyone has looked at what the project would look like if the site had
parking requirements of 2:1. Mr. Ebert said they are looking at proof of parking.
Administrator Statz pointed out that there are several bills that were introduced at the legislature and
got hearings at committees. One bill was about parking. Another was termed the missing middle,
where restrictions were placed on planning commissionsÓ ability to regulate development in terms of
lot size, size of buildings, preempting local zoning authority. Administrator Statz noted that there is
a narrative out there that cities are overregulating things like parking, causing the price of housing to
skyrocket and if we could eliminate then we would have affordable housing. He added that the council
opposed those legislative actions by writing letters stating that we value this board and their discretion
on these issues and that we trust they will make discretionary choices. Further, Administrator Statz
said that if the bills had passed, this would have taken away local authority to decide on how much
parking is allowed and it would have disallowed public hearings. In addition, construction of
duplexes, triplexes (up to eight plexuses with no restriction on additional parking, utility connections,
etc. would have been allowed).
City Planner Phil Carlson added that he is seeing many projects in suburban locations being built to
a 1.6 standard, adding that parking minimums are way too high.

Slide 6- Proximity to Elementary School
Administrator Statz noted that there is nothing within the cityÓs zoning code specifically disallowing a
multi-family building in the vicinity of a school, adding that the Centerville Elementary School
playground and ballfields are surrounded by homes with porches, decks and rear windows with views
of these areas. This development would be similar with a limited number of units with these views.
Administrator Statz asked the Commission for clarification on why it makes sense to eliminate
balconies when the views are like the ones that homeowners surrounding the school have.
Commissioner Seppala noted the difference in sight line from the balconies.
Commissioner Seppala, referencing the balconies on the east side of the building, asked how
preventing people from drinking intoxicating beverages and vaping would be regulated since per city
code you canÓt drink intoxicating beverages in sight of the elementary school or children.
Commissioner Thompson noted that there is a bar across the street in view of children and Chair
Krueger noted that there is an apartment building with 14-15 units in the school parking lot. City
Attorney Glaser noted that law enforcement is trained to use discretion and that maybe the first time
someone received a warning and is asked to quiet down, and the next time may result in a violation.
Attorney Glaser stated that the law would be enforced the same whether itÓs in the apartments or
Lakeland Hills.
Commissioner Kalina asked if there were anything in the apartment lease that would prevent residents
from drinking or having a cocktail on their balcony. Mr. Ebert said there is no smoking but there is
nothing prohibiting people from having a cocktail. Attorney Glaser noted that the city does not have a
crime free rental ordinance, noting that this is one of those measures that you use for people who are
getting out of control and that we have the regulation because it applies to everybody in town.
Chair Krueger asked how big the balconies are. The developer said they would be about 5ft by 10ft.
Slide 7 Î Crime
Administrator Statz said that he does not see evidence in Centerville that a multi-family building
creates more crime than a single-family home. He reviewed examples of single-family owner-
occupied homes that have an overwhelming problem for our police department, noting that crime
exists in a variety of different housing types, adding that we have crime at commercial sites.
Administrator Statz noted that the top calls for service at this time include gas stations and assisted
living facilities Î thatÓs whatÓs taxing our public safety right now. Administrator Statz stated that he
does not have any evidence that shows that a multi-family development will cause more crime than
any other type of development.
Commissioner Nelson said that we did not have anything else in the city to compare with and that
maybe we could look in Lexington at places that have had some problems. He said he feels like the
medical calls we respond to are a routine part of doing business in the city. Commissioner Seppala
asked if Commissioner Nelson was saying he wanted some analysis done on buildings of comparable
size around us and Commissioner Nelson said he thinks itÓs worth looking into.
Chair Krueger stated that he patrolled in Lexington for 27 years and he oversaw the crime free rental
program. He added that as far as the police department is concerned the city of Lexington has multiple
high rises and the one that causes a lot of problems (at first) is the Landings, which are lower income
apartments, adding that the city of Lexington has done a lot to address the initial problems. Chair
Page 6 of 16
City of Centerville Planning and
Zoning Commission
June 4, 2024
Krueger also said that the city of Lexington has a lot of other high-rise buildings (Ephesians and the
Loft) and the calls for service there are low due to higher rents.
Slide 8 - Screening
Administrator Statz reviewed the slide, noting that the existing trees on the east of the property line
will remain in place and offer some screening, as well as a fence and arborvitae on the east side of
the property edge. Administrator Statz noted that the developer, as noted earlier, stated that they are
open to an opaque fence along the north and east sides of the property of 6-8ft. City Planner Carlson
added that one of the main reasons for a fence is to screen headlights.
Slide 9 - Parks
Administrator Statz reviewed the park fees that would be paid upon execution of the development
agreement and is not refundable through TIF. The amount collected would be $312,000 and can be
used to expand or add new equipment to our parks system (not eligible for use on maintenance).
Discussion ensued about the retaining wall staying and what would happen to trees if the parking lot
were to be extended. Administrator Statz explained that if there is no more room for trees due to added
parking, the Commission could ask for tree replacement elsewhere or for a donation to the tree fund.
Discussion ensued about requiring more trees of a certain caliper as a condition of proof of parking.
City Planner Carlson added that a caliper of 2.5 in or 6ft evergreen is what is optimal for survival.
Slide 10 Î Utilities
Administrator Statz reviewed the slide, noting that the city utilities are sufficient to handle the
development; he also explained how utilities fees can be used. Administrator Statz noted that
connection fees paid to the city for water, sewer, and stormwater would be $435,000. The
development will be fully paying users of these utilities (not refundable through TIF).
Slide 11 Î Traffic
Administrator Statz noted that the traffic study shows that the development does not degrade the
function of any neighboring intersection, and he reviewed key findings of the study, which are
outlined in his presentation. Commissioner Seppala stated that she does not see how the number of
cars coming out of a one-way area and adding another 700 to the stub will not cause problems for
traffic and/or safety; she showed a picture of several bikes at the school. Discussion ensued about
traffic and traffic calming measures such as a roundabout or traffic signal. Administrator Statz noted
that staff has talked to the county about this and that from his perspective (engineering) that a traffic
signal light would be green most often and this would not be the case for a roundabout; he added that
the county will make the decision. Administrator Statz added that traffic calming will be needed in the
next few years regardless of if this development goes through or not. Commissioner Kalina asked
how pedestrians cross at a roundabout and Administrator Statz explained. Commissioner Seppala
asked about the misalignment of the parking lot, adding that she felt it would be a good thing.
Administrator Statz explained they will probably do a radius reduction to give people more room to
get out of the development and maybe widening of the driveway. Discussion ensued about the added
trips and traffic added (phase 1 and phase 2 of the development). Administrator Statz reviewed the
traffic study slides in his presentation.
Slide 12 Î School Capacity
Administrator Statz reviewed his slide, noting that the new students that would be coming from the
development would not overburden the schools. Discussion ensued about the developerÓs market
study, which shows there will be about 30% young professionals and about 20% young families or
Page 7 of 16
City of Centerville Planning and
Zoning Commission
June 4, 2024
single families and then 50% empty nesters. Commissioner Kalina asked how this information is
collected, and the developer noted that this information is based on similar high end luxury buildings in
suburban markets (like Delano). Administrator Statz added the Elementary SchoolÓs strategy for open
enrollment is that as the population reaches its peak, they will drop open enrollees to ensure that
people that live in Centerville will attend the elementary school. Commissioner Kalina asked what
the average class size is, and Administrator Statz noted that he does not have the number but the limit
to require hiring another teacher is not different here than in other areas.
Slide 13 Î Architecture
Administrator Statz reviewed his slide, noting historical elements from the old school, facades,
architecture previously used downtown. Administrator Statz added that the proposed building
substantially meets the requirements of the Downtown Master Plan, however, more detailed
architectural plans will be required subject to review. Commissioner Olson asked what the developer
will do to the northwest to hide the blank wall since the masterplan states that designs should
minimize blank walls on public roadways. Administrator Statz noted that the first thing they did was
take nine feet off. Mr. Budenski noted that in addition to reducing the size, they will screen with some
type of greenery, and full windows (not real windows because the parking garage will be behind it).
Commissioner Olson noted that there are other requirements in the Master Plan regarding materials
that can be used. Administrator Statz noted that the detailed architectural plans would need to be
reviewed by the Commission.
Slide 14 Î Garbage and Snow Management
Administrator Statz noted that since this was covered earlier, he will move forward to the next slide.
Slide 15 Î Small Town Feel
Administrator Statz reviewed his slide, noting that the Downtown Master Plan calls for both small
town feel and high-density housing. He asked the Commission to consider how these two could co-
exist. Commissioner Kalina asked for clarification on the front side of the building; she asked why
the front is not the lake since thatÓs the desirable view. Administrator Statz noted that the code used to
be different twenty years ago, but today it is considered the street side or yard (east). Discussion
ensued about measurement and height.
Chair Krueger asked if there were any other questions on anything before entertaining a motion. Since
there were none, City Planner Carlson reviewed the three options: Approve with Conditions and
Findings, Approve with Enhanced Conditions and Findings, or Denial.
Mr. Carlson noted that the staff recommendations is option 1: Approve with Conditions, noting that
there are twenty-one conditions and without reviewing each condition, the underlined ones are new
thth
from the May 7 meeting and the findings (also underlined) are based on the May 7 report. Mr.
Carlson added that the twenty conditions and ten findings are what staff would recommend for this
project.
Mr. Carlson noted that the second option: approve with enhanced conditions, i.e., proof of parking,
occupancy, balconies, etc. Mr. Carlson said that there really needs to be extraordinary reason to deny
a conditional use; he added that either of the first two options are recommended from his view, noting
that staff has provided material in case the Commission wanted to deny the plan.
Page 8 of 16
City of Centerville Planning and
Zoning Commission
June 4, 2024
Commissioner Seppala asked Mr. Carlson some questions about city code 156.210 items b and c; she
noted that the code says that all conditions for a CUP or IUP must be met for a PUD and wondered
if preservation of unique natural resources of land an exception would be because tree removal and
other activities associated with development would alter the natural landscape. Mr. Carlson noted
that while this is a wonderful site, he would not consider these natural resources in the sense that the
Grand Canyon is Î itÓs a residential property with some old trees. Commissioner Seppala asked about
item c, Ðplanning and development proposal appears to harmonize with both existing and area
surrounding the projectÑ and does a 4-story building harmonize with the school right next door or
with the lake or the neighborhoods around it. Mr. Carlson said there is probably not one right answer,
but the property to the north is about 200 feet from those homes Î itÓs not ten or twenty feet. Other
homes are next to each other and there are also existing trees in the area, noting that the development
certainly harmonizes reasonably. Mr. Carlson added that a school is a busy place during the day and
a building next to it does not seem unreasonable or out of character. To the lake, the building is set
back significantly; the other part of the clause is future proposals, and the intent of the downtown is
that it will be built up with more intense dense development. Commissioner Seppala read aloud the
definition of harmony, noting that she does not know how this development is compatible with the
school, lake, or surrounding neighborhood, because it is not a visually pleasing combination, adding
that it sticks out like a sore thumb. Mr. Carlson noted it falls in the area of judgement. Commissioner
Seppala further added that the code says that all conditions must be met. Commissioner Seppala asked
how we get past the Master Plan limiting buildings to three stories and the development is four. Mr.
Carlson noted that with sloping site, it meets the criteria. Discussion ensued about a definition of
ÐstoryÑ in terms of livable space. Discussion ensued about evaluating the project in terms of criteria
that are currently in place. Discussion also ensued about changes to the density in the M2 district last
year. Discussion ensued about internal inconsistencies in the Downtown Master Plan such as Ðlow to
mid-rise housingÑ in the M2 district.
Commissioner Thompson noted that the city has a Comprehensive Plan and Downtown Master Plan
that says we want to grow downtown within the parameters of the planning documents, adding that
then we go out to the development community and say this is what we want and then a developer
comes in and tries to meet most of what we want. He added that if there are things that we want to
change, like parking, the view to school, etc., the Commission can set conditions through the CUP.
Further, Commissioner Thompson said that he is having trouble understanding why the Commission is
having trouble moving this forward to the city council when the CommissionÓs role is to review the
project against the city code and guiding document Î he added that the CommissionÓs role is not to
consider political ramifications of rental housing versus home ownership TIF, etc. Commissioner
Seppala said that the Commission needs to do due diligence and vet this for the Council, adding that
they should point out the parking, height, contradictions in the Master Plan and the conditional use
permit. Commissioner Thompson asked if the Commission wanted to point out the contradictions
and pass this forward or deny it.
Commissioner Seppala noted that she would make a motion to deny the LaLonde Property CUP for a
PUD based on not conforming with zoning related to parking, related to height as outlined in the
Stantec denial, that it conflicts with the Master Plan Î specifically the height and mass of the building
do not protect the integrity of the surrounding residential neighborhoods. The design of the building is
not consistent with the architectural design standards in the referenced Master Plan. The Master Plan
limits projects to three stories, whereas, the proposed project would rise more than three level on the
western north side, the conditional use permit 156.21 that it does not harmonize with the existing
surroundings, for safety and the proximity to the Centerville Elementary School, and the
Page 9 of 16
City of Centerville Planning and
Zoning Commission
June 4, 2024
school children walking and playing, and that short stop, The Master Plan contradiction of downtown
neighborhood and the cityÓs Comprehensive Plan, the LaLonde is incompatible and inappropriate for
the scale and size of the project considering its proximity to the elementary school and adjacent single-
family homes Î she noted that she would not go on.
Motion by Commissioner Seppala, seconded by Commissioner Kalina to deny the LaLonde
CUP for PUD for the reasons of parking, height, contradictions in the Master Plan, conditional
use permit 156.21, the proximity to the Centerville Elementary School and safety of the school
children and that short stop, Master Plan contradiction of downtown neighborhood and the
cityÓs Comprehensive Plan, the LaLonde is incompatible and inappropriate for the scale and
size of the project considering its proximity to the elementary school and adjacent single family
homes.
Discussion:
Commissioner Thompson noted that a lot of the things cited are subjective and he thinks it exposes
the city, but thatÓs something the city council will have to deal with. He stated that the issues with
parking can be addressed by requiring proof of additional parking, but he thinks we would need to
determine how much parking is needed. He added that if the Commission wants the developer to
meet the city code of the two parking stalls per unit, then that becomes the norm, i.e., the standard for
all developments as we move forward. He noted that the proximity to the school, thereÓs a whole bunch
of other multifamily residential units that are near schools. The developers have also taken a step to
try and mitigate the interaction with kids in this property through innovative screening, so he does
not see that as a big issue. Commissioner Nelson asked how he felt about the small-town feel.
Commissioner Thomoson noted that if we are going to grow from 4,000 to 5,000 people, there will
be an impact on small town feel. Discussion ensued on who ÐweÑ is in wanting the city to grow to
5000. Commissioner Thompson clarified that the Commission, Council, and residents had the
opportunity to prepare the documents that are currently in use Î if the Commission wants something
different then they should consider that after a decision is made on this proposal. Commissioner
Seppala noted that in addition to the city code, denial should be done because the Commission should
listen to the residents. Commissioner Thompson reiterated that it is the CommissionÓs role to review
the documents. Discussion ensued about the sentiment of the public comments, changing housing
needs and adding apartments to the housing inventory. Chair Krueger noted that if this doesnÓt go
through another use could be proposed, like a church and no taxes would be collected on that.
Commissioner Olson noted that the project meets the code but that additional conditions can be added,
so the Commission could push the developer to limit the north façade or to break the building apart
to look smaller. Chair Krueger noted that the height meets the code, parking could be an issue, but he
likes the proof of parking condition. Commissioner McCabe noted that the development meets in
terms of height and that the superintendent of the schools has weighed in, the proximity of the school
is no different than other residential homes, adding that there is an apartment building in the parking
lot of the elementary school. Commissioner McCabe asked if the Commission could have a visual of
what additional parking would look like, should they need it. Commissioner McCabe also stated that
he was looking at something that was not subjective, something that was not open for interpretation
as to why the proposal could be denied.
Motion restated as:
Motion by Commissioner Seppala, seconded by Commissioner Kalina to deny the LaLonde
property CUP and PUD based on not confirming with zoning-related to parking, related to the
height as outlined in the Stantec denial, it conflicts with the Master Plan, specifically the
Page 10 of 16
City of Centerville Planning and
Zoning Commission
June 4, 2024
height and mass of the building do not protect the integrity of the surrounding residential
neighborhoods and the design of the building is not consistent with architectural design
standards in the referenced Master Plan. The Master Plan limits projects to three stories,
whereas the proposed project would rise more than three levels on the western north side.
Paragraph 156.21 conditional use permit that it does not harmonize with the existing
surroundings, talking about safety in proximity to the Centerville Elementary School for the
school children playing. Number seven, the Master Plan denotes that the downtown
neighborhood is reserved for mid-rise housing. The proposed project of three to four levels and
over 40 feet in height does not fit this description. The cityÓs comprehensive plan policy has a
goal to protect residential neighborhoods from incompatible and offensive uses and to identify
areas appropriate for multifamily housing opportunities. The LaLonde property is
incompatible and inappropriate for this scale and size of the project. Considering its proximity
to the elementary school, and adjacent to single-family homes. The applicant has not presented
enough information as to the public benefit of the PUD. The public benefits do not outweigh
the relaxation of standards of being requested. And, lastly, the safety of people walking across
Main Street. Commissioner Seppala yay, Commissioner Kalina Yay, Commissioner Nelson yay,
Commissioner McCabe nay, Commissioner Thompson, Nay Commissioner Olson Nay,
Commissioner Krueger, nay. Motion failed 4 to 3.
A different motion was made to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat and conditional use
permit for a planned unit development with the findings outlined in the Stantec memo under the
Enhanced Recommendations and Conditions Heading.
Motion by Commissioner Thompson, seconded by Chair Krueger to recommend approval of
the Preliminary Plat and conditional use permit for a planned unit development with the
findings outlined in the staff memo and the Stantec Enhanced Recommendations and
Conditions.
Discussion ensued about lighting, height, materials, parking, garbage and recycling, screening, and
the other conditions in the enhanced Stantec memo.
Commissioner Seppala requested an amendment to have the building façade approved by the
planning and zoning Commission in addition to the planner and engineer. Commissioner Thompson
accepted this change.
Commissioner Seppala requested an amendment to have the planning commission approve the final
construction plans as they relate to luxury materials and luxury amenities. Commissioner Thompson
accepted this change.
Commissioner Seppala requested an amendment to for the height of the fence on the east side to be 6Ó

along with proof of parking. Commissioner Thompson accepted this change. Condition 11 was
removed and substituted for condition 23 (proof of parking).

removal plan. Commissioner Thompson accepted this change.

VIII.APPROVAL OF MINUTES
1. May 7, 2024, Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes
Administrator Statz introduced this item as presented in the packet, noting revisions to comments
th
. Mr. BriglÓs comments were expanded to
provided by Tyler Brigl at the public hearing on May 7
include the last two paragraphs:
Tyler Brigl, 1295 Mound Trail
Mr. Brigl said that when he tells his friends he lives in Centerville they do not know where it is and
thatÓs what a small town is and thatÓs what a small-town feel is. He stated that small towns do not
have 104-unit apartment buildings. Mr. Brigl asked the Commission to look at the situation and the
morality of it because community matters, and the community does not want this. Mr. Brigl also
stated that things should be built on merit, so if the development goes through then make them build it
on their own, without financial assistance because it is not right or fair for the community.
Page 15 of 16
City of Centerville Planning and
Zoning Commission
June 4, 2024
Mr. BriglÓs statements include an example of making the developer pay for the project on their merit;
he stated you take $2.5 million over 15 years, noting that first you divide by 15 and get about
$166,000 and that would do a lot of good for our fire department, police, public services, and schools;
Mr. Brigl added that the developers do not get a free ride.
Mr. Brigl provided another example of what this would mean for the builder and operators, noting
that $2.5 million over 15 years - taking $160,000 and dividing by 104 units is another $138 per month
per unit. Mr. Brigl said that if that doesnÓt survive then they do not build; he added that all they would
have to do for this luxury apartment is charge the market rate plus $138.00. Mr. Brigl also said that
there should be no tax subsidy because itÓs not right or fair to the community and the Commission
needs to say no.
Motion by Commissioner Seppala, seconded by Commissioner Olson to approve the May 7,
2024, with the additional comments of Mr. Brigl. All in favor. Motion carried.

V. AWARDS, PRESENTATIONS, APPEARANCES
1. Public Comments
Nancy Golden Î 1654 Lakeland Circle
Ms. Golden addressed the Planning and Zoning Commission, noting that over the last eight months she
has been engaged with the Planning and Zoning Commission, Council, and committees, and she has
realized that the city has conflicting documents, which are a source of frustration for the Planning
Commission, Council, residents and likely developers. Ms. Golden stated that everyone in the room
Page 1 of 4
City of Centerville
Planning and Zoning Commission
July 9, 2024
wants to improve Centerville and protect the Crown Jewel of the northern cities, but that we need to be
smart and diligent. Ms. Golden stated that she would like to request a six-to-twelve-month moratorium
on all planned unit developments (PUDs) downtown so that we can regroup and engage with quality
developers that will be coming forth.
Anita Rios Î 1680 Lakeland Circle
th
Ms. Rios addressed the Planning and Zoning Commission, noting that at the June 12 City Council
Meeting, Jeannie Seppala requested a moratorium on all planned unit developments (PUDs) downtown
due to inconsistencies in the 2006 Downtown Master Plan, 2040 Comprehensive Plan, and zoning codes
and that she is here to support that request. Ms. Rios said that it would take some time to update the
documents and that she did not want decisions that do not reflect the updated documents to occur in the
meantime.
Ms. Rios stated that the city council recently updated their Strategic Plan to include engaging the
community in the review and revision of both the Master Plan and Comprehensive Plan and she applauds
this effort. Ms. Rios stated that she thinks the LOCi study should be considered when reviewing the
Master Plan. Ms. Rios said that the LaLonde proposal was a wake-up call for her and others about what
they do not want the city to look like. Ms. Rios said that she hopes that city leaders can work together
with Centerville residents to preserve the small town feel of the city and manage growth. Ms. Rios
requested that the Commission consider a one-year moratorium on PUDs downtown.
Heather Carciofini Î1652 Lakeland Circle
Ms. Carciofini stated that she is here to support the one-year moratorium on all new Planned Unit
Developments (PUDs) in downtown Centerville. Ms. Carciofini said that the public outcry that weÓve
seen over the past few months, in her opinion, underscores the need for a more thoughtful approach to
downtown development. She added that the world has changed significantly since the creation of the
Downtown Development Master Plan and that she does not think the 2006 documents serve the
community well in 2024. Ms. Carciofini said that she thinks we have an ideal opportunity right now to
pause and ensure that future development is truly in sync with the wants and needs of current Centerville
residents. Ms. Carciofini requested that the Planning and Zoning Commission vote in favor of a
moratorium.
2. Variance Concept Review - 7021 LaValle Driveway Width
Administrator Statz introduced this item as presented in the packet, adding that the Planning and
Zoning Commission updated the code pertaining to driveway widths not too long ago. Mr. McCall,
the resident requesting the variance, addressed the Commission and explained that he wanted to
widen his driveway because he said that the rock and width are problematic. Discussion ensued
about the area for improvement (up to the road, west to the property line, south of the front property
line).
Administrator Statz stated that State law is very specific about when municipalities can grant a
variance:
If the change would fit with the character of the neighborhood
If the need for the variance was not created by the owner
If the change is a reasonable use of the land
Mr. Statz added that he thought it would be difficult to justify granting a variance that the owner
would not need additional driveway width for without the RV. However, Administrator Statz noted
Page 2 of 4
City of Centerville
Planning and Zoning Commission
July 9, 2024
that the resident could expand his driveway the width of his garage without a variance, and this is
approximately 7 feet.
VI. OLD BUSINESS
1. Review of Committee By-Laws
Administrator Statz introduced this item as presented in the packet. Discussion ensued about the
process for amendments and friendly amendments to motions. Administrator Statz also noted that
if there is a question about a motion on the floor, then it is appropriate for someone to call for a
point of order at the meeting (not after the meeting).
Chair Krueger acknowledged Resident Cara Johnson at 1862 Partridge Place, allowing her to
address the Commission to speak about a letter she sent staff the day after the vote on the LaLonde
property. Ms. Johson stated that she really appreciated the follow-up and that going forward, she
would like to advocate that the city follow RobertÓs Rules of Order on matters that are of extreme
importance to the town; she added that she would like to see the city lean out of going through a
friendly amendment process as it would help bring confidence to the way the city is making
decisions.
NEW BUSINESS
1. Development Concept Review Î Eric Marshall Property Î 7216 & 7230 LaValle
Drive.
Administrator Statz introduced this item as presented in the packet, reviewing the 3-lot concept
and the 2 two-lot concepts (as outlined in the staff memo).
Property owner Eric Marshall addressed the Commission, explaining that he is looking for the best
use for his property. Mr. Marshall explained that he met with Administrator Statz to discuss
concepts, adding that he brought some plans to the city about six years ago, but paused pursuing
anything due to some personal circumstances. Mr. Marshall addressed the Commission to gauge
their interest in considering a planned unit development (PUD) on his property. Discussion ensued
about setbacks, ponding, height, home price, timeline to get started, and flex points at Bay View
Villas. The consensus among the Commission is that they would entertain further discussion on a
PUD.
2. Review Downtown Guiding Document Inconsistencies & Next Steps to Address Them
Administrator Statz introduced this item as presented in the packet, reviewing his slides and staff
recommendations (noted at the bottom of each PowerPoint slide). Discussion ensued about density,
height, definitions (of story and floor), parking (ratio and in height consideration), parameters of the
downtown, architecture and the inclusion of examples of French-Canadian architecture. Discussion
ensued about the process for making tweaks to the existing plan and/or recommending a moratorium
on planned unit developments (PUDs) in the downtown while more substantial changes are made
to the Downtown Master Plan. The consensus among Commissioners is to recommend that the City
Council approve a moratorium, so Administrator Statz reviewed the next steps.
Motion by Commissioner Seppala seconded by Commissioner Kalina to Approve the
Agenda as revised. All in favor. Motion carried.

MEMORANDUM
TO:MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KURT GLASER, CITY ATTORNEY
SUBJECT: STRATEGY TO REVISE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN & MORATORIUM
DATE: 8/8/2024
ISSUE FOR DISCUSSION: Should the City impose a moratorium while studying potential
revisions to the Downtown Master Plan and regulation of the Mix-Use zoning districts?
DISCUSSION:
The Planning & Zoning Commission recommends the City study revisions to the Downtown
Master Plan and regulations governing Mixed Use zoning districts. Discussions surrounding a
recent development project revealed potential benefits of revisiting the Master Plan and these
regulations. During this period of review, the City can choose to institute a moratorium prohibiting
development governed by the Master Plan and these regulations. A moratorium could be tailored
to allow some types of development while prohibiting others. Staff proposes three options for the
Council to discuss and consider.
Option #1 – No moratorium
Option #2 – A moratorium prohibiting development by a planned unit development.
Option #3 - A moratorium prohibiting development by a planned unit development for projects
with:
1. Residential uses with a density equal to or greater than twenty (20) units per acre;
2. Uses greater than two habitable floors above grade; and
3. Uses greater than thirty-five (35) feet in height.
The City is not required to institute a moratorium while it reviews the Master Plan and these
regulations. The benefit of a moratorium would allow Staff and the P&Z a period of time to focus
its efforts on reviewing these topics without the distraction of pending development projects. To
the contrary, any moratorium temporarily halts development and takes away options of effected
property owners. There are several parcels within these zoning districts that are ripe for
development. A moratorium could prevent these projects from moving forward as desired by their
owners. However, a moratorium allowing for revisions to the dated Master Plan and regulations
may help guide future development projects in these zones toward their highest and best use.
Examples of Moratorium ordinances are attached to the Memo.
OPTION 2
CITY OF CENTERVILLE
ANOKA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
ORDINANCE #____
SECOND SERIES
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM
REGARDING
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT IN MIXED-USEZONING DISTRICTS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CENTERVILLE ORDAINS:
SECTION 1: Purpose and Intent.
The City of Centerville (“City”) recognizes significant public interest and concern over the
complex nature of regulating the development and operation of development in mixed-use zoning
districts.
Development in these districts is regulated by the City’s Code of Ordinances, Comprehensive Plan,
and the Master Plan and Development Guidelines for Downtown Centerville (a.k.a., Downtown
Master Plan). New development in these districts must be performed pursuant to a planned unit
development. Formal review and study of these governing documents and procedures may
improve same, identify apparent conflicts, and clarify ambiguity. Moreover, the Downtown Master
Plan, being developed approximately 20 years ago, should be subject to periodic review.
Minnesota Statutes Section 462.355 allows the City to adopt a temporary interim ordinance for a
period of up to twelve (12) months from the date it is effective, to allow for such study and adoption
of comprehensive plan, zoning and/or other official land use controls in order to protect the public
health, safety and general welfare. The same statute allows for the limited extension of the period
under particular circumstances.
The City concludes that review and study is required to clarify terms and conditions for
development by planned unit development, in particular, such development in mixed-use zoning
districts and development subject to the Downtown Master Plan. The City also concludes that
periodic review and study of the Downtown Master Plan is required due to the age of the Plan and
relevance to present and forecasted market conditions.
There is a need for an interim ordinance to be adopted for the purpose of protecting the planning
process and the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City until such a study has been
completed.
SECTION 2: Prohibition.
OPTION 2
Pursuant to State Statutes 462.355, the City hereby adopts and approves this interim ordinance
temporarily prohibitingdevelopment by planned unit development in its mixed-use zoning
districts.
The interim ordinance shall regulate, restrict, or prohibit any use, development, or subdivision
within the jurisdiction or a portion thereof for a period not to exceed one year from the date it is

ORDINANCE #____
SECOND SERIES
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM
REGARDING
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT IN MIXED-USEZONING DISTRICTS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CENTERVILLE ORDAINS:
SECTION 1: Purpose and Intent.
The City of Centerville (“City”) recognizes significant public interest and concern over the
complex nature of regulating the development and operation of development in mixed-use zoning
districts.
Development in these districts is regulated by the City’s Code of Ordinances, Comprehensive Plan,
and the Master Plan and Development Guidelines for Downtown Centerville (a.k.a., Downtown
Master Plan). New development in these districts must be performed pursuant to a planned unit
development. Formal review and study of these governing documents and procedures may
improve same, identify apparent conflicts, and clarify ambiguity. Moreover, the Downtown Master
Plan, being developed approximately 20 years ago, should be subject to periodic review.
Minnesota Statutes Section 462.355 allows the City to adopt a temporary interim ordinance for a
period of up to twelve (12) months from the date it is effective, to allow for such study and adoption
of comprehensive plan, zoning and/or other official land use controls in order to protect the public
health, safety and general welfare. The same statute allows for the limited extension of the period
under particular circumstances.
The City concludes that review and study is required to clarify terms and conditions for
development by planned unit development, in particular, such development in mixed-use zoning
districts and development subject to the Downtown Master Plan. The City also concludes that
periodic review and study of the Downtown Master Plan is required due to the age of the Plan and
relevance to present and forecasted market conditions.
There is a need for an interim ordinance to be adopted for the purpose of protecting the planning
process and the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City until such a study has been
completed.
SECTION 2: Prohibition.
OPTION 3
Pursuant to State Statutes 462.355, the City hereby adopts and approves this interim ordinance
temporarily prohibitingdevelopment by planned unit development in its mixed-use zoning
districts of:
1. Residential uses with a density equal to or greater than twenty (20) units per acer;
2. Uses greater than twohabitable floors above grade; and
3.Uses greater than thirty-five (35) feetin height.
The interim ordinance shall regulate, restrict, or prohibit any use, development, or subdivision
within the jurisdiction or a portion thereof for a period not to exceed one year from the date it is
effective.
SECTION 3: Effective Date and Duration.
This ordinance shall take effect and be in full force from and after its passage and publication. It
shall remain in effect until the adoption of all official controls contemplated herein or one year,
whichever occurs first, after which occurrence this ordinance shall lapse, unless properly extended
pursuant to state law.
PASSED AND DULY ADOPTED this ____ day of ______________ 2024 by the City Council

City Council Meeting Minutes
July 10, 2024
Jr. Council Member Sauber stated that she believed the changes accurately reflect previous discussions
and that she felt that the changes were positive. Council Member Koski asked how does the Council
measure or evaluate items in the plan (e.g. employee education/development, etc.) and discussion ensued
regarding achievable goals and monthly review of the Administrator. Council Member Koski felt that the
information would be valuable to Staff. Mayor Love stated that he felt that Priority #1 Î Economic
Development fit better under Priority #4 as Goal III as it was the public being referred to. Council Member
Taylor suggested Priority #2, Item #3. should include a bullet point for communicating with the public
regarding opportunities for consumers/community engagement with businesses. Mayor Love stated that
the Council is unaware of employee education/development unless employees attend sessions with a
Council Member or Members or it is stated at a meeting, and Administrator Statz suggested that he would
place training in his AdministratorÓs Report.
IX. NEW BUSINESS
1. City Hall Improvements
Administrator Statz stated that the City Hall was remodeled in 2020 and since some of the smaller projects
have been completed along the way that were not included in the original remodel (parking lot lighting, a
section of sidewalk that extended to the fire hall, etc.). He stated that in efforts to continue to provide the
public with an aesthetically pleasing City Hall and the continuation of the EDAÓs beautification of the
downtown area, staff had been exploring turf and its maintenance in the boulevard along with other
sections of the property surrounding the building. He stated that installation of a handrail along the
sidewalk was also considered. He also stated that staff had obtained quotes for the projects and would
recommend installation of irrigation in zone 1 as depicted in the presented sketch. He stated that zones 2
and 3 would be nice but a value discussion for Council, (zones 1-3 - $29,000 and just zone 1 - $17,000).
He added the quote for the freestanding rail was $13,500. He stated that it was felt that the current
sidewalk was showing signs of its age, but staff would recommend the free-standing rail. He stated that
summation of the recommendation would be to install irrigation in zone 1 - $17,000, install sod in zone 1
- $1,100 and staff time to install along with the installation of a free-standing handrail Î 13,500 for a total
of $31,600. He stated that the Council could consider one, or the other or both.
Discussion ensued regarding installation of artificial turf in the boulevard, water source use of the pond
on site for irrigation, RCWD regulations and their monitoring station, native plantings, moving the
existing trail, installation of a rain garden, footing depth for the handrail (continuous or post by post
foundation) and potential for quoting error, plantings in the right-of-way, salt tolerance of sod/plantings,
effects on the budget, etc. Additional discussion took place regarding funding, width of the boulevard
being 4 to 5Ó, more welcoming bike access to the front door if the trail was moved in excess of $50,000,
environmental impacts, example setter, plantings and raingarden along with applying for a Rice Creek
Watershed grant for financial assistance, installation of concrete, stamped concrete, pavers w/decorative
plantings similar to the downtown area, staff believes that zone 1 was the area in need of irrigation and
does not feel that zone 2 and 3 without the inclusion of zone 1 would be wise, concerns for aesthetics for
the parade, permanent solution for the boulevard.
Administrator Statz stated that as he stated previously, recommendations can be made for all the proposals
or just one and he would encourage Council to consider the handrail installation as there was consensus
regarding that and allow him to complete additional options and research for zone 1.

City Council Meeting Minutes
July 10, 2024
Motion by Council Member Koski, seconded by Council Member Sweeney to Approve the
Installation of a Free-Standing Handrail Along the Sidewalk in Front of City Hall Subject to
Clarification on the Depth of Footings. All in favor. Motion carried.
2.Security Release Request
a. Rehbein Commercial
b. Rehbein Industrial/Sutton Transport
c. Old Mill Estates
Administrator Statz stated that three different developers are requesting some level of reduction in their
securities. He stated that Rehbein Commercial installed Michaud Way near NorBella Senior Living and
Kwik Trip. He also stated that all punch list items have been addressed, that they have received a full
release of escrow from Rice Creek Watershed District and the two-year warranty on the project was to
expire on July 12, 2024, with no warranty issues being identified and staff would be recommending a full
release of the escrow.
Administrator Statz stated the same existed for the Rehbein Industrial/Sutton Transport project in that they
st
have completed an extension of Fairview Street from a cul de sac to being connected to 21 Avenue. He
also stated that utility improvements were made associated with both Sutton Transport and Amazon
developments. He also stated that all punch list items had been addressed along with Rice Creek
Watershed District releasing their escrow along with the two-year warranty on the project was to also
expire on July 12, 2024, with no warranty issues being identified and staff would be recommending a full
release of the escrow.
Administrator Statz stated that Old Mill Estates has been through several years of punch list items with
just a handful remaining along with ensuring that their other permits are finalized. He also stated that the
last permit is the RCWD permit which involves numerous items, but mainly checking of the stormwater
infrastructure ensuring that the pipes, catch basins and stormwater ponds were installed correctly. He
stated that they required a bathymetric survey to check depth, etc. and they all checked out. He stated that
it could cost thousands of dollars if it did not pass, and it would then need to be corrected by the developer
along with a large risk for them. He stated that the Wetland Permit is also a large issue, and it covers what
they said they were going to impact was really what they impacted, and he described wetland credits.
Administrator Statz stated that he has reviewed the data and that they are very close a few dozen square
feet costing just a few thousand in banked credit. He stated that staff would be recommending that their
current escrow be released to a level of $20,000 with the belief that the city would retain enough money
to allow for items no being completed pertaining to the Wetland Permit. He clarified that it would be
releasing the existing Letter of Credit, and the developer could either issue a new Letter of Credit in the
amount of $20,000 or provide a cash deposit. He stated that he contained the language of the proposed
motion in the Staff memorandum to allow Staff to release the remaining $20,000 escrow upon the release
of the Wetland Permit escrow by RCWD.
Council Member Mosher asked about the bike path and how it turned out. Administrator Statz stated that
it was moved approximately 4Ó and paid for by the abutting property owner and in areas narrower than 6Ó.
Council Member Mosher asked how snow removal was completed, and Administrator Statz stated that
the trucks handled the clearing appropriately and without issues.

of all securities for the Rehbein Commercial Development as requested. All in favor. Motion

Motion by Council Member Sweeney, seconded by Council Member Koski to approve the reduction
of the DeveloperÓs security to $20,000, with a full release granted upon RCWDÓs approval of the
final wetland delineation.
Council Member Taylor asked if the developer failed to complete required check list items and if the
amount for the City to complete them on their behalf exceeded $20,000 what would happen. City Attorney
Glaser stated that we would first ask them for the money or to complete the items and if they stated no,
the city would sue them. He explained that there was still a DeveloperÓs Agreement that can be relied on.
He also stated that generally the escrow amounts are 125 to 150% higher than the estimates. Discussion
ensued regarding backyard drainage issues and Administrator Statz stated that staff has been working with
the builders and homeowners regarding rectifying their issues, but the system is there and functioning
properly. Council Member Koski stated that he relies on staff to make these financial decisions and if

TITLE OF ISSUE:
Master Services Agreement and Statement of Work - Arete/McDonnald Hopkins LLC
BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
Several weeks ago, a city employee clicked on a link which turned out to be a spoofed invoice, purporting to be
one of our vendors. The cyber-criminal was able to gain access to the employee's email and Microsoft 365
account. They began sending emails out from our employee's email address. City staff worked with our IT
providers to identify the problem and lock the account. We also called our insurance carrier, the League of MN
Cities Insurance Trust. The LMCIT acted quickly to add resources to our IT provider's response. The
combination of law firm McDonnald Hopkins and IT forensic experts Arete were recommended to assist us in
determining what information may have been accessed and/or shared. All expenses for these two consultants
are reimbursable, less a small deductible, up to our coverage limit. Work under this contract has already begun,
due to the time-sensitive nature of the task. This confirms our commitment to the contract.
COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING:
Estimated fees of $10,750 (reimbursible from insurer, less $500 deductible)
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION:
Motion to approve the Master Services Agreement and Statement of Work presented by Arete and McDonnald
Hopkins, LLC, authorizing the City Administrator to execute the same.

14.4 Notification. The Conveyor shall identify Confidential Information disclosed
orally within three (3) days of disclosure. The ConveyorÓs failure to identify information as

to that information.

protect such information from the access or acquisition of such data by an unauthorized third party.

acknowledges that this Section 14 applies equally to any subcontractor and Performing Party

information of the Conveyor, and that disclosure thereof may cause irreparable injury to the
Conveyor. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that monetary damages may not be

Agreement, without such constituting an election of remedies.

appropriate remedy; and

this Agreement, then the Recipient may furnish that portion (and only that portion) of the
Confidential Information that, in the written opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Conveyor, the Recipient is legally compelled or otherwise required to disclose. The Recipient
shall make reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be
accorded any part of the Confidential Information so disclosed;

contraband, for example contraband images, which we reasonably believe are unlawful to possess,

Music in the Park
Music in the Park wrapped its 2024
season last week with a great
performance from On Tap. Attendance
this year averaged over 125 people, with
as many as 250, the week of Fete des
Lacs. A number of Thank-You’s are
due: First, thanks to all of our performers,for sharing your talents at a home-town discount price. Next,
thank you to our partners at Carbone’s for being a reliable food vendor. It’s great to have a local business
be a part of our programming. Finally, the Parks and Recreation Committee wishes to thank their colleague,
Brian Peterson for his tireless efforts, booking bands, setting up, running the sound board, and so much
more. See you again next season!
Vacancy on the Parks & Recreation Committee
The Parks & Recreation Committee interviewed a candidate for the open seat on the board at its last meeting.
A recommendation was put forward for consideration by the City Council. If the recommended appointment
is accepted, the committee will again be full.
Playground Equipment Replacement Plan
At their August meeting, the Parks and Recreation Committee discussed their long-term Capital Equipment
Replacement Plan. The city’s 5 playgrounds were installed during a 12-year spurt of development, between
1996 and 2008. Now approaching 25 to 30 years in service, these facilities are showing their age and are in
need of replacement, or substantial repairs. The committee reviewed the financial impacts of replacing all
5 in a short span, eventually landing on a plan to immediately complete some needed repairs to ensure safety,
while spreading the replacements out over a more manageable 15 year timeframe. The city council will
review this plan and consider whether the impacts to the 2025 budget are feasible at their August 28 meeting.
Main Street Market
Aarf, aarf, yip, yip, bark, bark, grrrrr…Let me help you out if you don’t have a translator app on your phone:
Thanks to everyone for coming out to watch our pet parade. We had over 350 visitors to Pet Night at Main
Street Market. Next up is Kids Night, August 15, 2024, featuring crafts, games, touch-a-truck, face painting
and a bounce house along with 25 vendors to peruse. The Market runs from 5:30 to 7:30 on Thursday nights

Local Government Aid (LGA)
Many years ago, the state of Minnesota instituted a system of direct
financial aid to cities to bridge the gap between cities with similar needs, but vastly different tax bases.
Aging cities with declining populations and deteriorating housing stock were at a great disadvantage to
newer, growing communities. A formula was put together, which accounts for these factors, among others
and divides the appropriation based on the formula.
Thisyear, the city received around$25,000. In 2025, we are slated to receive$0.Of the 854 Cities in
Minnesota, Centerville was one of just 105 to not receive any State Aid in 2025. By contrast, some of our
neighboring cities of similar population, receive around $400,000 - $500,000. Centerville continues to lobby
for changes to this formula to provide less fluctuation and an opportunity for all communities to receive
some aid.
Met Council Population Estimates
Each year, Met Council goes through an exhaustive process to estimate city by city population and
households based on the most recent census, and their records of sewer connections. Estimates are certified
mid-year, for the previous calendar year. Among other things, we use this information to calculate our
contributions to our joint police and fire organizations. Here are the final numbers for Anoka County
Communities:

Thank you, Paul, for your dedication to our city.

accepted, construction could begin in the spring.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
1687 Westview Street (LaLonde Property)
There are no formal applications pending on the site at this time.
stnd
OldMill Estates 1
and 2 Additions
The development security has been reduced to $20,000, pending receipt of approval from the Rice Creek
Watershed District of the final wetland delineation.
rd
Addition
Old Mill Estates 3
rd
The developer of Old Mill Estates is proposing a 3 Addition concept that went before the Planning &
th
Zoning Commission for a “Concept Review” at their March 4, meeting. This subdivision was always a
stnd
part of the discussion when Old Mill Estates (1 and 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).
Block 7 Property (Downtown)
A developer met with city staff on 7/23 to discuss a townhome style development. They are awaiting the
decision on a moratorium before moving forward with further exploration of the project.
1737 Main Street (Block 3)
No recent activity.
Max Storage
The developer is preparing to submit plans for Phase II of the development; a second building of the same
size. The next building may contain fewer, larger units. Other than the change in the number of units, it
looks like there won’t be any other changes to the site layout.
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)
Bay View Villas (Waterworks Site)
Wetland permit issues have been resolved with the watershed. The developer was issued a final letter
requiring action on the remaining punch list items prior to August 19.
Drilling Estates
A copy of the plat was circulated and signed by the Mayor and Clerk. It should be recorded soon.
Marshall Properties
The owner of 7216 and 7230 LaValle Drive has submitted several concept sketches for a 3 to 5 lot
redevelopment encompassing the two existing lots. The 3 lot development would seek to align with R-2A
zoning and would need minimal flexibility through a PUD. The two, 5-lot concepts would require PUD
flexibility similar to that afforded the Bay View Villas development. The planning and zoning commission
reviewed the concept plans at their July 9 meeting and had generally positive feedback for all of the options.
We anticipate a preliminary plat application in the near future.
