Improvements – Old Mill Road City Administrator Larson explained that Old Mill Road had been on the agenda in late summer and early fall for consideration of improvements for Hanzal’s Addition. He then explained that the improvements would also impact additional benefiting property owners for municipal improvements. City Administrator Larson asked Council to consider directing the City Engineer to update the cost estimate for the proposed improvements to allow for more accurate information to be utilized for further discussion and proposed assessments. Page 3 of 19 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 2006 City Engineer Statz explained that Bonestroo previously drafted a feasibility report; however, the Developer is requesting another to determine whether to proceed with the project and to discuss same with neighboring property owners. Council Member Paar asked whether the fact that this project would no longer be tied to the construction of the backage road would increase construction costs. City Engineer Statz felt that costs should remain similar to the previous estimate due to the construction climate. City Administrator Larson indicated that the City would need to hold a public hearing unless there is a petition and waiver of assessment, which would require total agreement of all the benefiting property owners Council Member Lakso asked if the Developer and his neighbors were in agreement. Mr. Hanzal indicated that there are some issues to iron out with the neighboring properties and they have added another lot to the subdivision and are trying to work out the details to make that possible. City Administrator Larson explained that the Developer may not get credit for the improvements if the property was never assessed. Mr. Hanzal questioned whether he could obtain partial plat approval. City Administrator Larson indicated that the City would have to have the City Attorney take a careful look at the situation. Mr. Larson stated that City Code is clear that a plat can not be approved without utilities being available. Motion by Council Member Lee, seconded by Council Member Lakso, to direct the City Engineer to update the cost estimate for the improvements to the Hanzal property. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. 3. Resolution #06-055 – Adopting Pay Equity Study Report & Implementation of Pay System City Administrator Larson explained that Council has discussed this issue at work sessions. Mr. Larson explained that Springsted had been contracted to complete a pay equity study and identified areas of concern that should be addressed. Mr. Larson indicated that Res. #06-055 addresses areas of concern and includes Council’s desire for implementation as of July 1, 2007 Motion by Council Member Lee, seconded by Council Member Paar, to approve Resolution #06-055, Adopting Pay Equity Study Report & Implementation of Pay System.

He then said that this Resolution is in preparation for the next submittal. Motion by Council Member Paar, seconded by Council Member Lakso, to approve Resolution #06-054 – Sponsorship of Community Development Block Grant Application. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. 4. P & Z Recommendation for Approval of Conditional Use Permit for Jackson Commercial/Sedona Townhomes, LLC City Administrator Larson explained that the Planning Commission held two public hearings on this request and indicated that at both public hearings there was very little public comment and with no abutting property owners in attendance or objecting. City Attorney Glaser commented that the Planning Commission reviewed his memo. He then said that part of his memo was Council questions and part was a summary of his Page 5 of 19 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 2006 questions. Mr. Glaser stated that he felt that the Developer did not address all of his questions at the Commission meetings. City Attorney Glaser said that he would like to see if there is a way to make this project work but the first there are issues to be resolved. He then said that there were negotiations on the Developer’s Agreement and concessions made by the city. If the original concept is off the table, should the Developer pay back the concessions. City Attorney Glaser asked the Developer to answer some of the outstanding questions from the memo. City Attorney Glaser indicated that the first issue is blending of styles and the use of the building as a buffer. He then said that the original sales pitch was the earlier units were lower buildings spread apart and they do sit on the edge of a residential area. He further said that the original buildings are more residential in appearance and the proposed building is a traditional commercial structure. City Attorney Glaser asked the Developer to address the design to serve as a buffer and to make the look of the new structure similar to or blend into the existing structures. Mr. Keleher, Chief Manager for Sedona Townhomes, addressed the Council and explained that when they came to the City in 2003 and did a study to see what type of structures would be recommended by Maxfield Research, townhomes were recommended. Mr. Keleher requested that Council consider replatting the development for one large building rather than the original plat approved by Council, (three (3) of nine (9) townhomes have been completed to date. Mr. Keleher indicated that they had been approached by Eagle Brooke Church last year to construct one building to house their administrative offices. Upon further research and site consideration, Sedona Townhomes is appearing before Planning and Zoning and the Council for approval of the change. City Attorney Glaser indicated that Council is familiar with the history of the site and asked the Developer to address the question raised. Mr. Keleher stated that he feels screening has been addressed. Mr. Keleher also stated that he feels the design of the building fits the site. City Attorney Glaser explained that the majority opinion is that this building does not do what was originally proposed and the Council is looking for changes to make it look like the other buildings on the site. He then said that this building is a bit more contemporary and the colors are different. Mayor Capra said that she feels that the large building needs to somehow match or be related to the smaller buildings. Ms.Capra stated that Council was excited about the townhome project and felt that is was wise phasing; however, with the current proposal, Page 6 of 19 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 2006 the building is extremely modern building and being located in close proximity to commercial townhomes. Council Member Lakso commented that the site has gone from nine (9) buildings down to (3) and now has this proposed large structure. Mayor Capra said that she feels that the City needs to make a good choice on how to make this work on the site. Council Member Lee commented that one of the selling points was that these buildings looked like townhomes and this new building does not blend into the residential area very well and the screening does not help it to blend in. Mayor Capra said that this building will be there for many years so it is important that it fits and looks appropriate on the site. Mr. Keleher indicated that from the CUP approval at the Planning Commission there are conditions and the two that are subjective are color and style of the building. He then asked what direction to go with on this building. Mayor Capra said that she took some pictures of some buildings in the area that will be reviewed later. City Attorney Glaser explained that the Developer was granted some concessions on parking spaces, the trail easement and waiver of park dedication fees and some screening and drainage issues. So, the opinion is, if this is another commercial structure and the Developer was granted, on the other plan, concessions, the City would like to know if the Developer intends to return the money and add the parking spaces back in that were granted for the other design. Mr. Keleher indicated he met with Mr. Larson on changing the parking spaces from 22 to 14. He then said that when they presented the original plan there was a study on how many spaces were needed per office and that is how they arrived at seven (7) per building for a total of 14. He further said that the number of parking spaces per office is working out well and the need for the three buildings is 142 and they have provided 149 and that meets the requirements. Council Member Lee indicated that the City has a standard per square foot of building and that is where the 22 spaces came from and the reason the concessions were made earlier is because Council felt that this design would need only 14 but the standard was 22 and that same standard would apply to this new building. City Attorney Glaser asked if the Developer had done any parking studies to justify the claim that fewer than the Code required parking stalls would be adequate. Page 7 of 19 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 2006 Mr. Keleher indicated that they have met Code for the new building and they feel that the number of parking stalls for the existing buildings is adequate. City Attorney Glaser said that it looks like the Developer has agreed to put the City trail easement back into the design. Mr. Keleher agreed and said that the County design was not done at the time they began this process. He then said that the County has bought 10 feet of additional right of way for a total of 70 feet of right of way along with an additional 15 feet of temporary easement. Mr. Keleher indicated that they feel they could provide the trail easement in the temporary easement after the County is done with it. City Attorney Glaser asked the Developer to address the park dedication fees. Mr. Keleher indicated that, according to Ordinance, the fee is $2,175 per acre multiplied by the number of acres is a total of $11,253.45. He then said that they have been making payments and intend to pay the $11,253.45 in total. Council Member Lee asked how many units there would be. Mr. Keleher indicated that it is only one building and that is how the dedication fee was calculated. City Administrator Larson explained that commercial/industrial park dedication fees are calculated on a per acre basis but the City agreed to break it down per unit to make it easier for the Developer. City Attorney Glaser asked the Developer to address the waiver of screening and drainage requirements. Mr. Keleher indicated that he does not understand that issue because they have planted out and exceeded the number of trees and provided screening on the west side and along th 20 Avenue and he reviewed that with Staff. Mr. Keleher indicated the area on the north end of the parking lot was decided that rather than having an open swale with retaining wall there was approval from the City Engineer to bury a pipe to channel the water and there are trees planted where that swale retaining wall area is and the City public works has a catch basin with a pipe that drains into that pipe to collect water off the City’s public works site and the City water tower has a discharge for emergencies into their retention pond. Mayor Capra indicated that was a concession because part of that berm was on the City’s property. City Attorney Glaser asked the Developer to address the issue of the private improvements that were due to be completed in 2003. Page 8 of 19 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 2006 Mr. Keleher indicated that they were given an extension to do the development on the site. He then said that the landscaping fee was associated with that and revolved around the buildings that were not built and the sod in the common areas has been done in the developed area. He further explained that they do not have the second lift of blacktop on the parking lot and the retaining wall was not done in favor of the pipe and landscaping and the lighting is not up. Mr. Keleher indicated that the trash enclosure is done as are utilities, sewer, and water and they paid the storm water fee. Mr. Keleher indicated that he wrote a letter to Mr. Larson and then provided copies to Council. Mr. Keleher indicated that they would like to have a work session discussion to work on the colors and style of the building. He then said that they want to work with the City and feel that the client would be good for this community by bringing 70 jobs into town and they would be a good neighbor. He further said that the neighboring property owners were invited to their offices to discuss the plan and were contacted by the City for the public hearing. Mr. Keleher indicated that they began this process on September 20, 2006 and have been going through this process as requested. City Attorney Glaser recommended holding off on approval of the CUP until the plans are further revised. He then suggested that the Development Agreement was not followed through to the letter and some things are late and the suggestion from Planning and Zoning was to issue approval that states the Developer would execute a Development Agreement to the satisfaction of the City. City Attorney Glaser indicated that the Developer should resolve some outstanding issues from the existing Development Agreement. He then said that tabling approval will give Staff time to have the items written out line by line along with time for consideration of changes to the building. Mayor Capra thanked the Developer for the samples they brought and said that it helped to understand what the color would be. She then said that she would be open to a work session to discuss the building style and color. City Engineer Statz said that with having the nine (9) buildings there is justification for the claim that there can be shared parking but that justification goes away when the number of buildings is reduced to three. He then said that Council should consider that future uses in the buildings may change and those uses may have different parking requirements. Page 9 of 19 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 2006 Mayor Capra commented that existing staff people are moving from one City to the other and they are not creating any more positions. She then said that she is concerned about the parking and would like the City Engineer to review it. City Engineer Statz asked if the existing buildings are stucco or cement. Mr. Keleher indicated that it is Hardy board, which is a 95% cement product. City Engineer Statz said that usually, in his experience, tip up concrete panels are frowned upon in commercial uses as they are more of an industrial application. Council Member Lee asked what species of trees were shown for screening. Mr. Keleher indicated that along the westerly boundary are spruce trees and maple and ash trees. Council Member Lakso asked if one entrance into the parking is adequate. The Developer indicated that they feel it is adequate. Mr. Keleher showed the Council the samples of colors to be used. Council Member Lee indicated the townhomes are two stories and this is three and it is a tall three. Mayor Capra indicated the corners will match the stone on the townhomes and said that the front entrance area would be painted white. She then said that she feels that a cornice would improve the look of the building and make it seem lower. Mayor Capra said that the building, as proposed, looks very stark and she feels that changes are needed to make the building blend in to the other buildings on the site. Mayor Capra said she feels that the cornice shown in the picture would make it match better than not having anything. Mr. Keleher provided a new drawing with some changes that he said he feels begin to bring the new building closer to the look of the existing buildings. Mayor Capra asked the Developer to work with Staff on the parking and other issues so this could be considered at the first meeting in January. Mr. Keleher asked if he and Mr. Larson were on the same track with regard to interpretation of the Developer’s Agreement. City Attorney Glaser indicated that the current Development Agreement is not his style and it does not state that the development was to be phased. Page 10 of 19 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 2006 City Attorney Glaser said that with the two major projects going on he will not be available to have this prepared until the first meeting in January. Motion by Council Member Lee to table. The Motion failed for lack of a second. City Administrator Larson indicated that the City has deadlines within which to either approve or deny a request. He then asked for an extension from the Developer to allow time to work out the details and changes to the building. City Administrator Larson asked for an extension from the Developer to January 10, 2007 and asked that the Developer agree not to assert any rights to litigate due to timeframe constraints prior to the January 10, 2007 meeting. Mr. Keleher agreed to allow this matter to be continued. Mr. Keleher agreed to waive the 30 day time requirement and allow for this matter to be continued to January 10, 2007. Council thanked Mr. Keleher for agreeing to the waiver to allow time to work on the look of the building and the other outstanding issues. Council Member Paar said that he respects what was done but said this is a major change to the previously approved plan so he wants to make sure that this is done right and everything is covered. Motion by Council Member Lee, seconded by Council Member Paar, to table to January 10, 2007 and ask the Developer to work with Staff on the outstanding issues. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. 5. P & Z Recommendation for Approval of Extension of Special Use Permit th Launderville Auto Repair – 7139 20 Avenue (Review in 12 Months) City Administrator Larson explained that the Special Use Permit was transferred to Launderville Auto Repair six months ago with a condition to review it to ensure there are no issues with the operation. He then said that there have been no complaints and the Planning Commission recommends approval with a condition of another review in 12 months. Council Member Lakso asked whether there are any outside storage issues at the site. She then said that she would like approval to be subject to review of the site by City Staff. Motion by Council Member Lakso, seconded by Council Member Paar, to approve the extension of the Special Use Permit for Launderville Auto Repair subject to Page 11 of 19 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 2006 review of Staff to make sure there aren’t any outside storage concerns. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. 6. Parks & Recreation Committee Recommendation for Allocation of $100,000 from General Funds for Development of Park Improvements at 1601 LaMotte Drive Mayor Capra indicated that she attended the Park & Recreation Committee meeting and explained that they have asked Council for funding for development of park improvements at 1601 LaMotte Drive. She then asked Staff if there will be any budget surplus that could be used for funding the request. City Administrator Larson explained that there will not be much of a surplus but said that there are some things that may be reimbursed that could be considered for funding the park improvements. Council Member Lakso asked if charitable gambling dollars could be solicited. Mayor Capra indicated that the Committee is looking at charitable gambling dollars. Council Member Paar suggested using the public works building fund. City Administrator Larson indicated that there is money in reserve that could be temporarily tapped into. Council Member Lee asked for Staff to provide a better picture of the budget before any decision on funding the park improvements is made. City Administrator Larson suggested a preliminary commitment from the Council and said that the finance staff will spend some time looking at avenues for funding. Council agreed to work with Staff on funding improvements to the park. Council Member Lee asked the Committee to look into assistance from the Lions. 7. Appointment to Fill Vacancy on P & Z Commission Mayor Capra indicated that Council held interviews for three candidates for the vacancies on the Planning Commission and Parks & Recreation Committee. She then thanked the candidates for coming in to interview for the position. Motion by Council Member Lakso, seconded by Council Member Lee, to appoint Mr. Ben Fehrenbacher to the Planning Commission and Mr. Darrin Mosher and Ms. Lori Harris to the Parks & Recreation Committee. Motion carried unanimously. Page 12 of 19 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 2006 Mayor Capra asked Staff, after the candidates accept, to contact the Chairs of both Committees and to send the newly appointed individuals a letter welcoming them and providing them with a copy of the Bylaws and the Code of Ethics. Mayor Capra indicated that Council had some guidelines for consideration for adoption but will need to look at them in 2007. 8. Appointment to Fill Vacancy on Parks & Recreation Committee This item was handled as part of the previous Agenda item. 9. Draft Massage Ordinance/Amendment City Attorney Glaser explained the changes to Section 115 noting the changes bring an update to the Ordinance to bar sex trade types of activities but recognize that therapeutic massage is a legitimate business. Mayor Capra asked whether the language proposed means that no minors could get a massage as it limits it to adults. City Attorney Glaser indicated that is in the purpose statement area of the ordinance and is really talking about keeping the “Johns” out of Centerville. Mayor Capra asked whether licensees could go somewhere else to do this massage. City Attorney Glaser explained that this draft ordinance requires that massage happens on the premises of the establishment to allow the City the ability to check up on them. Council Member Lee asked if leaving this ambiguous would leave room for Council discretion at a later time. Council Member Paar said he would think it would be better to be clear. He then said that he is concerned about allowing massage out of a home. City Attorney Glaser explained that if there is a residence involved there must be an external entry and exit. City Attorney Glaser said that it is his opinion, from a public safety standpoint, not to put this in homes. Council Member Lee indicated he would like to limit them to commercial zoned areas of the City. City Attorney Glaser suggested allowing them in mixed use provided the building is commercial. Page 13 of 19 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 2006 Ms. Lisa Kieselhorst said that Dr. Schlavin was an established practitioner and asked whether she would need to provide a blueprint of the building. City Attorney Glaser indicated that the Applicant would need to provide a drawing. Mayor Capra suggested requesting a copy of the building plan from the City. Ms. Kieselhorst indicated that a certificate is different from a license. She then said that she has had a hold up with the school getting the certificates so she went and got a transcript and had it stamped. She then asked whether there really is a requirement to be photographed at the police station. City Attorney Glaser said that being photographed is common licensing procedure. City Attorney Glaser reviewed the amendments to Section 115.15(a) adding: and that the establishment must be located in a commercial district and in a commercial enterprise; Section 115.34(a) these minimum requirements are any of the following: Council Member Lakso pointed out a typographical error in Section 115.21(b). Staff will make the correction. Motion by Council Member Lee, seconded by Council Member Lakso, to approve Ordinance #16, Second Series, Amending Section 115 Relating to Commercial Sauna and Massage Services and to approve the Summary Ordinance for publication. City Attorney Glaser read the Ordinance summary for the record. CHAPTER 115: COMMERCIAL SAUNA AND MASSAGE SERVICES SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS: Changes made to Chapter 115 consist of renaming chapter heading, making amendments to chapter sections 115.01 through 115.99, and adds section 115.21. The new heading and text of Chapter 115 consist of twelve pages in length. PURPOSE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS: Recognize the evolution of therapeutic massage as a service industry and guard against illegal activities. EXPLANATION OF SUBSTANTIVE AMENDMENTS: Changes to Chapter 115 exchange barriers to entry of licensees to provide massage services within the City with educational and monitoring systems to encouraging legitimate massage therapy services. The Chapter regulates the industry by Page 14 of 19 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 2006 creating a licensing requirement for each applicant providing therapeutic massage and for each business, which provides these services. The changes now recognize the education which massage therapists receive and requires that anyone who desires licensing to complete a sufficient amount of formal education and training in the area of massage, physical therapy or nursing to ensure the public will receive legitimate services. Any potential massage therapist is required to complete a background investigation, which serves to screen individuals who have a history or ties to the illegal sex trade. These requirements also create barriers to the entry of casual individuals who either have an actual history of association with criminal activity or those persons likely to engage in illegal activity traditionally related to the illegal massage. Existing provisions related to sauna and day spa services are retained. Application for licensing in these industries and massage therapy are unified into a single licensing regimen for all services governed by Chapter 115. 10. Purchase of Roberts Rules of Order (Council/Committees/Commissions Mayor Capra indicated she would like Council to consider purchasing Roberts Rules of Order for the Council/Committees/Commissions. Council Member Lakso suggested two or three copies instead of one for everyone. City Attorney Glaser agreed to provide a short form sheet for reference. 11. Resolution #06-056 – Recognizing the Service and Dedication of Mr. Harley Wells Mayor Capra noted that Harley Wells was a driving force for the North Metro Telecommunications Commission and said she feels that something should be done to recognize his years of service. City Engineer Statz said that Spring Lake Park has been Bonestroo’s longest standing client and he and Bonestroo would like to join in recognition of Mr. Wells. Mayor Capra read Resolution #06-056. Motion by Council Member Lakso, seconded by Council Member Paar, to approve Resolution #06-056, Recognizing the Service and Dedication of Mr. Harley Wells. Council Member Paar requested that the Resolution be amended to 100% rather than 110%. Page 15 of 19 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 2006 Council agreed. Council Member Lakso indicated that the Resolution would be presented at the next cable meeting. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. 12. Resolution #06-057 – Establishing a Deed Restriction on Land Purchased with DNR Grant Funds Mayor Capra indicated that this is to keep the City in compliance with the grant funds. City Administrator Larson indicated that this Resolution will demonstrate to the DNR that the land will be used for the purpose intended. Motion by Council Member Lee, seconded by Council Member Paar, to approve Resolution #06-057, Establishing a Deed Restriction on Land Purchased with DNR Grant Funds. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. 13. Centennial Youth Hockey/Laurie LaMotte Park Council Member Paar indicated that he was contacted concerning the issues with someone turning off the main breaker at LaMotte Park. He then said that they do not wish to upset the City and would like to work with the public works staff to ensure that they are doing things correctly. City Administrator Larson indicated that Staff would look into the situation with Public Works. IX. ANNOUNCEMENTS/UPDATES 1.City Administrator, Mr. Dallas Larson None. 2. CSAH 14 JPA (Update) City Attorney Glaser indicated he would be presenting the final JPA to Mr. Fischer tomorrow and the County has its last board meeting on December 19, 2006 and he is optimistic that the County will see the City’s side on several of the issues. Mayor Capra said that ponding will almost be a legislative issue for the cities in Anoka County with regard to what the County is asking communities to do and she does not know how much can be done with this. Page 16 of 19 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 2006 City Attorney Glaser indicated that the City could get stuck maintaining the ponds and doing whatever Rice Creek requires if the JPA agrees to the ponds. Mayor Capra indicated she would like the Engineer to check at his office to find out what other counties are requiring of cities with county roads and whether ponding is being pushed off on cities within other counties. Mayor Capra indicated that this could be a huge cost for cities in the future and it concerns her. 3. Downtown Redevelopment City Administrator Larson explained that work is being done to create an agreement with the Developer with a draft coming for review soon. City Engineer Statz provided a written report for Council to review. He then reviewed it with Council. 4. Centerville Sesquicentennial - LaCompany Mayor Capra indicated that she would like to use LaCompany as part of the Sesquicentennial Celebration as they are an historical reenactment group that act out the lives of the French trappers. 5. Other Updates Council Member Lee provided an update on the Police Governing Board meeting. He then handed out an Emergency Management booklet for Council. Council Member Lakso indicated that they would like to work on neighborhood watch groups in 2007 to turn them over to Certified Emergency Response Teams to be used in times of emergency. Council Member Lee indicated that another consideration is setting up a command post at City Hall as a backup to the backup location. Council Member Lakso indicated that the recommendation was to have each assigned position have three people assigned to it. She then explained that, in an emergency, the assigned person may not be available but the next in line could be. Council Member Paar asked that the City Attorney’s firm be changed to the new firm. He then suggested that for after hours emergencies the contacts be either Mr. Peterson or Mr. Palzer since Mr. Larson lives out of town. Council Member Paar indicated that he would like Public Works to come to a Council meeting sometime in early 2007 to go over the steps for emergency procedures. Page 17 of 19 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 2006 Mayor Capra provided an update on the Centennial Fire District noting that the City is pretty much on for the same number of calls as last year. She then said that the group discussed instituting a fine for having to go back to repeatedly inspect businesses that have been asked to correct a code violation. City Attorney Glaser indicated that Staff could set up an administrative fine. Mayor Capra wished everyone a Happy Holiday season. X.
