VI. COMMITTEE BUSINESS
Acorn Creek Park Satellite
This item was added to the agenda for discussion per request from the City Administrator Larson
and Mayor Capra as a written complaint was received from a resident. Council Member Lakso
inquired as to what has been done or discussed in the past. Chairperson Peterson and Committee
Member Peil stated this issue has been discussed for multiple years. At one time all the
committee members went as a group to each park to determine the best placement for the
satellites in each park. Currently there are satellites at 4 of the 5 City parks, with Royal
Meadows Park being the only park without a satellite. The satellite at Royal Meadows Park was
removed a few years ago because of vandalism at that park. The only park that receives
complaints regarding the placement of the satellite is Acorn Creek Park. The placement of the
satellite needs to be handicapped accessible as well as easily serviced by the satellite company.
The Acorn Creek Park satellite has been moved multiple times to accommodate one resident and
then it was unacceptable to another resident. The spot it currently is placed at was determined to
be the best spot for all factors involved. Screening has been discussed and the committee priced
wooden structures to be placed around the satellites, but if one park was done, they would all
need to be done. The structures were expensive to build, even with volunteer labor. Pine trees
were planted around the Acorn Creek Park satellite when trees were thinned from the Eagle Pass
tennis court area, but the trees did not survive transplanted to Acorn Creek Park.
Council Member Lakso questioned whether a permanent structure for a restroom has been
considered. In discussing this option the committee thought the expense of this would be
considerable and difficult to justify for one park and not the others, especially since Acorn Creek
Park will never have ball fields. The way the play structure was situated on the property does not
leave any room for ball fields unless at some future time additional property was purchased by
the City. Acorn Creek Park does not have parking, which would also be a necessity if ball fields
were added to the park. There would also be the issue of maintenance with a permanent restroom
structure.
One of the resident's complaints regarding the satellite at Acorn Creek Park was the odor coming
from the satellite. Committee Member Seeley said that her experience with the park system is
that if satellites are maintained properly they typically do not have an odor issue and she
questioned whether the company we use for the satellites provides the city with the service we
would like. Chairperson Peterson stated a few weeks ago at Acorn Creek Park the truck itself
had an odor, but when the truck left the satellite was fine. The committee would like more
information from the resident regarding the odor problem and have Public Works Staff try to
determine exactly what the odor problem is so that it can be pursued with the satellite company.
The satellites are currently serviced weekly.

Parks & Recreation Committee
Meeting Minutes July 6, 2005
The committee feels that the issue is mostly about aesthetics as it is unattractive to have a satellite
close to your home, no one wants it near their home, but it is a necessity to the park. Committee
Member Peil reiterated that the committee has already spent many, many hours on this issue and
there are no easy solutions, even fencing eliminates accessibility to some extent. Council
Member Lakso said she would talk to Mayor Capra about this issue and perhaps have the resident
be proactive by notifying the city when the odor becomes an issue so Public Works can
determine what the problem is.
Participation in Fete des Lacs
The committee discussed the volunteer needs and opportunities of Fete des Lacs.
Tracie McBride Memorial Park Renovation
Council Member Lakso requested this item be added to the agenda for a status report. The
committee previously had a subcommittee involved with this project, but was put on hold waiting
for a timeline of when the old water tower will be taken down. Since that time, two of the three
subcommittee members have resigned from the Parks & Recreation Committee. Chairperson
Peterson reported the new water tower will be online approximately in September 2005 and the
old water tower needs to remain functional for a year following the new water tower coming
online.
Committee Member Peil and Chairperson Peterson updated the new members as to what has
been looked at for this park. Committee Members had walked around the neighborhood
surrounding Tracie McBride Memorial Park and surveyed the residents as to what they would
like to see at the park. Ms. Stephan will provide the committee with those results at the next
scheduled meeting. At the time there were residents interested in being involved with the
subcommittee when the park is actually being planned. Chairperson Peterson explained it is a
small park, approximately 2 acres, so the options are limited. The current play structure is
outdated and has some safety issues with equipment that is in bad shape. A completely new play
structure will be designed and the space utilized to the best advantage. Council Member Lakso
would like to see the pond used as a focal point for a picnic area. Public Works Staff does do
safety inspections on all the park equipment, checking for things like lost nuts and bolts and
broken objects, which are then replaced. A safety audit is more intense and requires a specific
license and has not been done recently or required by the state. A League of Minnesota Cities
representative (insurance) reviews the parks yearly and gives suggestions as to what could
eliminate safety hazards.
VB. UPDATES
Church of St. Genevieve Trail
Chairperson Peterson explained to the new members that Park Dedication Fees will not be
received from the Church of S1. Genevieve in connection with the new church building as the
church did not sell or subdivide property. The city had a previous agreement when Goiffon Road
was vacated to give the city a trail easement through the church property, but there were
30f5
Parks & Recreation Committee
Meeting Minutes July 6, 2005
problems with this when the time came to actually deicide where the trail would be. With the
new building the trail easements will be included with the survey and in writing per City Council
request. There are three small trail easements on this property to connect to existing trails with
the City being responsible for the installation and cost of the trail. Committee Member Peil
stated that hopefully we will be able to piggy back the trail with the parking lot of the church
The committee went over the locations of the parks within the city and what type of park each is
with the new members. Committee Member Seeley informed the committee that she adopted a
wood duck house and requested Mr. Drew Johnson install the house on the little Peltier Lake
park property near Peltier Preserve. Committee Member Seeley had this approved by Public
Works Staff prior to the installation and she will maintain the wood duck house.
St. Paul Water Utility Prooerty on Centerville Lake
The Finance Director, Mr. John Meyer has submitted a DNR Grant Application for the purchase
of 1601 LaMotte Drive. The City has not heard anything regarding this grant at this time.
Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Plav Structure
Chairperson Peterson reported to the committee that a letter had been received from the Spring
Lake Park Lions regretfully informing the committee that they did not have funds available at
this time for the Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park play structure. The committee had requested
$10,000.
Committee Member Peil suggested the committee look into information on grants for the
purchase and/or planting of trees as she felt that Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park is in desperate
need of some shade. Chairperson Peterson said he would rather see an open sided structure for
shade, but this does not really help in between the three (3) sets of ball diamonds. Committee
Member Peil will look for more information and report back to the committee.
Wheels Skate Park
Chairperson Peterson stated all the new equipment has been installed and is actively being used
by many residents. Committee Member Seeley said the sign however, has already been
vandalized. Public Works staffwill take a look at it.
Chairperson Peterson gave the prospective new committee members a brief history of the
committee regarding projects, funding, park dedication fees, trail systems, etc.
Additional Li2hts at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park
Public Works received a bid from Rivard Electrical regarding the installation of the additional
lighting at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park for the pleasure ice skating rink. Rivard Electric will
be able to utilize wiring in the existing lights. The original amount approved by City Council
was $3,000, this was in the event they would not be able to use the existing wiring. The bid
received was $1, 595. Chairperson Peterson will talk to City Administrator Larson and have the
work done as soon as possible.

Trails
Class 5 trail from Lamotte Park to Meadow Lane (700' @$7). Note: 5,000 A
also discussed on the park walk was ahemate use of Centerville road
and the "temporary" road. The temporary road must not become a
road because Anoka County does oot want a turn lane there.
Background: Obtain easement or purchase a strip of land for a trail
from Lamotte Park to Meadow Lane. This is a safety issue for people
going to/from Lamotte Park. The land is currently church property.
Note: On Dee 14,2002, Wayne LeBlanc talked to Father Fitzgerald
about possible trails on cln1rch property. Father Fitzgerald was
agreeable to trails on the edges ofthe property from Lamotte Park to
Meadow Lane and from Lamotte Park north along Lamotte Drive to
the cln1rch school. He did not want trails in the middle of the
property as that would limit possible future development. He was
also agreeable to a trail going through the church/rectory property
somewhere to get to Main St. Details would all have to be worked, of
co lUse.
Asphalt for trail from Lamotte Park to Meadow Lane (700' @$10) 7,000 B
Class 5 trail just east of and parallel to Centerville Road from 11,000 A
Meadow Lane to Hunters Crossing trail (1500' @$7). This is also a
safety issue for anyone who has to use Centerville Road. Anoka

possible city improvements.

Subject: RE: Portable Toilet
Dear Ms. Abrahamson:
I have discussed your issue with staff and learned that the location of the portable toilet has been an ongoing
concern. It was moved before after complaints from the public. The current location was chosen by the Park
Board based upon all of the competing concerns that were known at the time.
Since the Park Board chose the current location, it is not just a simple matter of our staff moving it. It will be
necessary for you to discuss this with the Park Board to see if another location would be acceptable. The next
meeting of the Park Board is August 3,2005, at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall. Thank you for contacting me, and I hope
you will be able to work something out with the Park Board.

Dear Mr. Larson,
Mary Capra suggested writing you to ask for your assistance in relocating the satellite
(porta-potty) located at Acorn Creek city park. Our home is the only home that
specifically borders the park located at the end of Revoir St. As it so happens, the only
satellite in the park is located approximately 15 yards from our front yard. We would like
to suggest with all the open space in the park there might be a better spot to relocate the
satellite so it doesn't have to border the only house next to the park. A suggestion of
placing it directly north of the playground area has been made, but still very accessible.
That would probably still geographically place it closer to our home than any other that
borders the park.
With the hot weather we have recently been having, just standing in our driveway brings
an odor. It also invariably brings a sarcastic comment from anyone who visits us how it
"must be nice to have a toilet in your yard." It presents an eyesore introduction to the
park as the backdrop to the park sign introducing the park. There is also the safety issue
we currently see where the door opens directly onto the path, so that if someone was
riding their bike or running and the door were opened as they were going by, it would
present a safety issue.
There has been an argument that it needs to be close to the road so the service truck
doesn't have to drive on the grass. We always see the service truck drive up to the
7/21/2005
Page 2 of2
satellite on the grass currently for servicing anyway. We see the city trucks driving
directly on the grass to empty the garbage cans next to the playground area. That
argument doesn't seem to hold true by what's actually happening. And even if it did,
there's got to be a different spot that offers the same access that isn't right next to our
home.
Thanks for your consideration in this matter. Please keep us informed as to what further
information we can provide or if you would like to meet us at the park to discuss
alternatives or anything else you might need to understand our frustration.
Sincerely,
Loren & Lisa Abrahamson

SUBJECT: Update on Park Dedication Fees for Centerville Redi-Mix
DATE: July 18, 2005
The following excerpt is from the June 22, 2005 City Council Meeting Minutes concerning
Commercial Park Dedication Fees for Centerville Redi-Mix:
A W ARDS/PRESENTATIONSlAPPEARANCES
Mr. Dennis Shudv - Centerville Redi-Mix (Fees and Char2es)
Mr. Shudy addressed Council and asked to consider reducing the park fee for his development. He then
asked that the $2,600 storm water fee be waived explaining that he has his own storm water system and he
has run his own sewer and water to Centerville. He further commented that he would be putting in the costs
to run sewer and water.
Mayor Capra asked what the costs are.
Mr. Shudy indicated it would be $25,000 to $30,000 to run sewer to his development.
Mr. Shudy indicated he was asked to pay $4,197 for his parcel.
Council Member Lee indicated that after Mr. Shudy purchased his property, but before he obtained the
permit, the fees were raised.
Council Member Lakso indicated she is concerned with reducing park fees as the City needs the money to
fund park maintenance.
Council Member Lee said he could see reducing the storm sewer fees as he has his own storm water system
on site and would not benefit but the park fees are important to the City.
Mayor Capra commented that there was an exception for the town home development because the process
was in the works.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the fee structure is set and if the City is going to deviate from that then it
needs to be a unique situation.
Mayor Capra indicated that Mr. Shudy is running sewer and water to his parcel at his own expense and that
would stub it down almost to 21 st Avenue.
Council Member Paar indicated this is a unique situation as the fees were raised and created for commercial
development during Mr. Shudy's development.
Mayor Capra indicated she has no issue with waiving the sewer fees and agreed under these circumstances to
reduce the park fee to $2,100.
Council Member Terway indicated the City has a schedule of fees and asked whether this would set a
precedent for reducing fees upon request.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated that unique circumstances could justify the fee reduction and then said that the
fact that this project was underway when the park fees were created for commercial development could be
found to be a unique circumstance.
Council asked whether there is any impact to the storm sewer system of the City.
City Administrator Larson indicated that developers are required to do ponding on their site as weJJ as pay
storm water fees.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated it is a choice to hook up to City water and there are benefits to Mr. Shudy. He
then said that he feels there almost has to be some water runoff to the storm water system from Mr. Shudy's
property so there is impact to the system.
Mr. Shudy indicated he has a half an acre of pond for water settlement and seepage and rain garden.
Council Member Terway indicated that all developers are required to do ponding but a fee is still charged.
He then said that there is room for negotiation on the park fees.
Mayor Capra indicated she would be wiHing to reduce the park fees to $2,100 but leave the storm sewer fee
as IS.
Mr. Shudy commented that he understood the storm water fees but he was looking to try and reduce his
extensive costs to hook up to Centerville's water.
Council Member Lee asked whether developer's pay 100% of costs to run water.
City Attorney Hoeft reminded Council that this is a choice and he suspects Mr. Shudy is making that choice
because the costs of the weJJ and maintenance over time not just initial time is more expensive than running
City water.
Motion bv Council Member Terwav. seconded bv Council Member Lee. to approve a reduction in
park dedication fees and reauire Mr. Shudv to pav $2.100 and the rest of the fees remain the same.
The reduction is based on the fact that the plans for the property were submitted prior to the creation
of the commercial park dedication fees. All in favor. Motion carried unanimouslv.

RE: FY 2006 Local Initiatives Grant Application for the
Outdoor Recreation Grant Program
City of Centerville, City Park
Dear Mr. Meyer:
The review and ranking of the Local Initiatives Grant Program applications have
been completed. The Local Initiatives Grant Program inclu~es applications for the
Natural and Scenic Area, Regional Parks (outside the metro area) and the Outdoor
Recreation Grant Program. This review, which included a careful analysis of each
application was completed by staff of the Local Grants Unit.
About $2.4 million in federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LAWCON) dollars,
State Bonding dollars and State Environmental Trust Fund dollars were available for
grants this year. Competition for the limited grant dollars available was intense. Only
14 applications, out of 86 applications submitted were recommended for funding.
Unfortunately, your application did not rank highly enough to be recommended for
funding this year.

The following excerpt is from the May 11,2005 City Council Meeting Minutes concerning the Church
of St. Genevieve Site Plan Review - Trail Easements.
VII. NEW BUSINESS
Church of St. Genevieve Site Plan Review - P & Z Recommendation for Approval
Tom Wilharber of6849 CentervilIe Road appeared before Council as one of the two trustees
for the Church ofSt. Genevieve and gave a history of the Church.
Mayor Capra provided an overview of the comments at the Planning and Zoning meeting
and noted that the landscape plan was accepted showing less than normal requirements but
the normal requirement would have been 220 trees and the Commission did not feel that was
necessary since the Church intends to continue to expand.
Mr. Wilharber indicated the first building is a community center or gathering space and
there will be a kitchen and bathrooms and mechanicals and at a future date there would be
an administration building and educational building and then a larger church and possibly a
gym and that is why they did not want to plant trees to be removed later.
Mayor Capra indicated that Park and Recreation would like a trail easement across from
Meadow Lane up to the City park and on the west side to connect.
Mr. Wilharber indicated that he discussed the easements with Father Fitzgerald and he did
not have an issue with it but the Administrative Council meets at the end of the month and
will discuss it. He then said that he does not feel the easements would be an issue.
Council Member Lee asked if Park and Recreation has seen the plans.
Ms. Stephan indicated that Park and Recreation discussed it at the last meeting.
Mr. LeBlanc indicated it was discussed and they would like to see trails along LaMotte
Drive and some way to get from Meadow Lane to LaMotte Park.
,
Mr. Wilharber suggested that Park and Recreation come to the Church and ask for what they
want and then the Church will discuss it and respond.
City Administrator Larson was asked to send a letter to the Church outlining the
request.
Ms. Stephan indicated that Park and Recreation made a motion on this but she does not have
that information.
Motion by Council Member Lakso. seconded by Council Member Lee. to table for
further information on the trails.
Mr. Wilharber explained that there is no requirement for park dedication fees from the
Church so the easement is of the Church's own free will. He then said that he has stated that
he does not think that the easement would be an issue for the Church and asked that Council
not hold up approval of the site plan for another two weeks.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated that there is no ordinance requirement for the easements and
suggested that Council consider approval of the plan and direction to Staff to work out the
easements with the Church.
Council Member Lee indicated that when the City vacated Goiffon Road there were
discussions that the City would get an easement for trail around the lake and he would like
something defined before approval.
Mayor Capra clarified that the easement was not around the lake it was on the Church
property but not around the lake it was east of the Church building.
Council Member Lee commented that Park and Recreation thought it was around the lake.
Mr. Wilharber indicated that the Church had no issue with it on the east side of the property
but did not want an easement through where Goiffon was vacated due to liability and if the
ground would ever be sold.
VOTE: Ayes - 4. Nays -l(Capra). Motion carried.
The following excerpt is from the May 25, 2005 City Council Meeting Minutes concerning the
Church of St. Genevieve Site Plan Review - Trail Easements.
Church of St. Genevieve Site Plan Review - P & Z Recommendation for Approval
City Administrator Larson indicated that Park and Recreation had reviewed this
development and made a recommendation to request an easement from the Church in the
northwest and southeast comer of the property to allow connection to trails and City
property. He then explained that Staff met with Mr. Wilharber to explain the request and
was told by Mr. Wilharber that he did not think the Church would have an issue with the
request.
Mr. Wilharber indicated that he and City Staff met to discuss the request and then the
Church Council met and agreed to provide the easements provided that the City pays for all
costs associated with them. He then explained that a civil issue has come up with the survey
and the adjoining property owner and the Church has agreed to give the 13 feet six inches in
dispute to the property owner at 1680 Heritage with the restriction that if there is a
continuation of Goiffan the Church would like to line it up and the Church feels those
conditions can be worked out with Mr. Highland.
Mr. Wilharber indicated that the Church has requested that the City install stop signs on the
trail at the SW comer at the driveway so that traffic does not cross the driveway without
stopping as a safety measure.
Mayor Capra asked Staff to note the stop sign requirement.
Mr. Wilharber indicated that the legal documentation would not be totally taken care of until
the Church clarifies title for the easement but the Church is in agreement with the
easements.
Mayor Capra indicated that she and Council Member Lakso are parishioners and asked if
that is a conflict of interest with voting.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated that it would not be a conflict of interest.
Motion bv Council Member Lakso. seconded bv Council Member Terwav to aoorove
the Site Plan Review as recommended bv the Plannine: and Zonine: Commission with
the information orovided concemine: the easements at this meetine:. All in favor.
Motion carried unanimouslv.
Council Member Lee indicated he looked through the plans and this looks like it will be a
great addition to the community and it seems to be very well thought out.
Mayor Capra indicated that it would be a nice addition to the Community and the Church
has always made its facilities available to the community for use.

Subject: City of Centerville
Good Morning Ms. Hilker,
I would like to request your assistance as our Met Council representative in
two matters regarding the City of Centerville.
The first is the City of Centerville's desire to purchase a piece of
shoreline property located in Centerville which is currently owned by the
St. Paul Water Utility. We applied for a DNR grant for LCMR grant money to
make this purchase, but were unsuccessful in that request. We currently are
submitting a grant application for Federal Transportation Enhancement grant
money for the purchase of this property.
We are a City bordered by two lakes without any city access to either of
those lakes. The St. Paul Water Utility owns the entire Shoreline of both
Peltier and Centerville Lakes and is currently selling off this property.
The shoreline property would be a great assets to our park system and is
probably our last chance to gain lake property within the City of
Centerville for our residents.
The second issue is our application for a Livable Communities Act grant for
our downtown area. We are a small community represented by your appointment
to Met Council. Being a small community within the Metro we need your help
and assistance more than many of the larger communities with greater staff
available to be lobbyist for support of their projects.
I fully understand the busy schedules we all have in our lives, but I would
like to request an hour of your time to come to Centerville to see the areas
and property mentioned above so you can better understand our needs. We
will accommodate your schedule whether it be during business hours or
evening hours. Please contact myself Mary Capra 651-653-1732 or our City
Administrator Dallas Larson 651-429-3232 to arrange a visit to Centerville.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this request we look forward to
showing you around our community.
Respectfully,
Mary Capra
Mayor - City of Centerville

Committee regarding the trail easements on the 81. Genevieve property and excerpts from the City
Council Meeting Minutes with Council's response. This was included as information for new
members, but also as review. When and how would the committee like to proceed with this item?
Pheasant Marsh. Phase Three
Also added to your packet for review is information regarding the Parks & Recreation Committee's

TO: Honorable Mayor & City Council Members

SUBJECT: Parks & Recreation Committee's Recommendations
DATE: May 16,2005
Preliminary Plat for the Church of St. Genevieve
The committee discussed what trail proposal they would like to recommend to City Council for the
Church of St. Genevieve's preliminary plat. Chairperson Peterson questioned whether the Church of
St. Genevieve will be required to pay Park Dedication Fees and would like to know what fees have
been waived for this project.
The committee would like to see a trail connection on the northwest/north comer of LaMotte Drive and
Heritage Street to the existing trail that runs along LaMotte Drive. There is an existing utility
easement on this comer. City Council previously approved Dressel Contracting doing a subcut for a
trail extension on the southwest comer of the property from the existing LaMotte Drive trail north of
the lift station. The lift station is in the southwest comer and the existing trail runs into the parking lot
at the entrance of the park. For safety issues the committee would like to see the trail on the north side
of the lift station emptying onto the current temporary trail so bikers do not have to go into the parking
lot from the trail. The committee would also like to recommend a trail extension from the temporary
trail in the southeast comer of the property to line up with the Meadow Lane sidewalk on the east side
of Centerville Road. Chairperson Peterson will determine the footage as it is unknown at this time
Motion was made by Chairperson Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Peil to recommend
to City Council that trail easements be negotiated with the Church of St. Genevieve for a trail
connection on the northwest/north corner of LaMotte Drive and Heritage Street to the existing
trail that runs along LaMotte Drive, a trail extension from the existing LaMotte Drive trail
north of the lift station to the temporary trail in the southwest corner of the property and a trail
extension from the temporary trail in the southeast comer to line up with the Meadow Lane
sidewalk on the east side of Centerville Road. All in favor. Motion passed unanimously.
Memo...
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Kim Stephan
SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Committee Recommendations
DATE: October 3, 2003
Pheasant Marsh. Phase Three - Trail
Chairperson Peterson requested a discussion of the trail through Pheasant Marsh, Phase Three be
added under Committee Business. Chairperson Peterson started the discussion by saying the
original trail proposal winds through the east side of the development in a low area. There is
quite a bit of green space, probably because it is low. What Chairperson Peterson would like the
committee to consider is readjusting the placement of the trail along the far east edge where there
is higher ground and the trail would overlook the edge of the pond on the adjacent property.
The original proposal shows the trail ending at Outlot A, Center Oaks II, with the idea of the trail
eventually being continued east to 20th Avenue.
Chairperson Peterson proposes a trail stub be added heading north across Outlot A to Center
Street. If the trail cannot be connected to 20th Avenue in the near future, at least this trail would
continue to Center Street instead of dead-ending. The trail stub would be paid for from Parks &
Recreation trail funds. Chairperson Peterson estimates the stub to be 270' - 300' in length. The
committee felt this was a better alternative to the trail dead-ending and not being used by
residents. Chairperson Peterson also reported there is a 6 foot county ditch which runs through
this property to the south. It will be necessary for a culvert to be installed in the south-east
comer.
Council Member Lee suggested attaching a map with the suggested changes to the motion for the
next council meeting. Ground Development is currently looking for approval on the Developer's
Agreement and Final Plat for Pheasant Marsh, Phase Three. Chairperson Peterson will supply
Ms. Stephan with a map of the proposed changes/additions.
Motion was made by Chairperson Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Seeley to
recommend to council adjusting the trail location for Pheasant Marsh, Phase Three and
adding a trail stub through Outlot A, Center Oaks IT with the funds for the trail stub to
come from Parks & Recreation trail funds. Please see the attached map for trail
placement. All in favor: Motion carried unanimously.

COWlcil Meeting Minutes
A TIF District may also contain south of Public Works for the proposed water tower
location and the dOMltoMl area.
Council set a work session for Monday, October 20,2003 at 6:30 p.m to discuss TIF and
economic development.
3. Ordinance #4 - Zoning Pennit Amendment (Accessory StructureslFences)
Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that Staff had proposed the idea of a pennit for accessory
structures and fences to the Planning and Zoning Commission previously as a way of
eliminating or reducing some of the issues Staff has with them, but the Planning and
Zoning Commission was not in favor of adding another permit fee. She then said that
Staff would like to suggest that the pennit fee for accessory structures and fences be
reconsidered.
COlDlCil directed Staff to have the Planning and Zoning Commission discuss the matter
and come to Council with a recommendation on an appropriate permitting fee for
accessory structures and fences.
Mayor Sweeney asked that Staff and the Commission consider the fee carefully and
assure that it covers Staff time but is not too high because the pennit process will not help
Staff if residents feel it is too high and do not apply for pennits.
4. Parks and Recreation Committee Recommendation
Council indicated this recommendation should be held over until it is determined whether
the development will proceed.
VIII. OLD BUSINESS
1. Pheasant Marsh. Phase II1- Developer's Agreement & Final Plat
Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated this item was tabled from the last meeting.
Council Member Capra asked whether there had been any progress on the issue of the
WaIver.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated that he has no issue with regard to the sidewalk, trail ways
and mailbox language added by Staff. He then commented that Mr. Runkle may wish to
comment on the escrow for the mailboxes.
Mr. Dale Runkle, Ground Development, indicated that he does have a concern about the
escrow for the mailboxes as it was not required in the other two phases and mailboxes
were installed. He then said that they have arrangements in place to have the mailboxes
installed and he does not feel the need for another escrow. He also commented that he
does not see where the ordinance requires it.

October 8, 2003
Council Meeting Minutes
Mr. Runkle indicated he was concerned with the language added on the top of Page 6
where it says the developer will construct concrete sidewalk on the north and west side of
Dupre as the feasibility study for the street and utility improvements included the
sidewalk and that will be done at the same time.
City Attorney Hoeft suggested amending the language to state that the sidewalk comes
under the street and utility improvement by indicating the developer hereby requests the
City construct a concrete sidewalk. He then indicated that he would work out the
language and provide it to the developer.
Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that the Parks and Recreation Committee had asked for
language in the developer's agreement to ensure that the sidewalk and trailways were
constructed.
Ms. Karen Marty indicated she had nothing new to say with regard to the waiver.
Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if the developer was willing to sign a new
Waiver.
Ms. Karen Marty indicated the developer is not willing to sign a new waiver.
Council Member Broussard Vickers asked for the options from the City Attorney.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated the City could proceed without a waiver, make the
assessment and wait to see if the amounts over the waiver will be contested. He then said
there is a cost to defend a contested assessment but he feels the developer's agreement
obligates the developer to pay for those costs. He further commented that, other than for
entertainment value, he does not know why the developer would challenge the
assessments because he feels that the benefit can easily be proven.
Council Member Capra indicated that Ms. Marty had stated that there was an original
waiver in the original agreement and that is why they do not want to waiver this
agreement.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated the developer says the City approved the development plan
for all construction and waived up to $1.8 million so that is what they are obligated to so
the question is whether the City is obligated to do the 429 process on this portion of the
land and he is not convinced that the City is. He then indicated that the City has given
independent approval by this body for each phase and just because it is indicated in the
initial agreement that the City would proceed with the 429 process with a waiver of X
number of dollars does not commit the City to going forward with 429 process. He
further commented that the interesting question is if the City does not go forward with
429 process for the fmal phase and waiver of $1.8 million he would anticipate that the
developer would say that the $1.8 million was for a three phase project and try to factor
Page 7 of14
City of Centerville
October 8, 2003
COIUlcil Meeting Minutes
out the first two phases so the City may have an assessment challenge even if Phase III
does not go forward.
Mayor Sweeney indicated that he is nervous due to the comment that Ms. Marty made
that the developer was not consulted when the bids came in higher than the estimates. He
further commented that makes him feel that if this goes forward and the amounts are over
the $1.8 million the developer will contest it and the City is faced with legal costs to
defend.
Mayor Sweeney asked what the original date for Phase III was before it was moved up.
Council discussed it and thought that the original date was 2006 but was not sure.
Council Member Capra commented that the City was shorted approximately $130,000
with the first 429 process. She then asked if Ms. Paulseth had the exact figures.
Ms. Paulseth indicated that she has been figuring about $150,000 depending upon interest
rates.
Council Member Lee indicated he is not interested in moving forward without the waiver.
Council Member Paar indicated he does not want the City to get stuck again with extra
costs to develop the property. He then said he does not understand how they can contest
something that they gave the City the authority to do through the 429 process.
Council Member Broussard Vickers commented that the City did not lose the money
because of the waiver issue, it was lost because of the bonding situation and prepayment.
She then said that this bond would be set up differently to account for early payoffs. She
further commented that the City knows that the costs are going beyond the $1.8 million
and it is likely that the developer would contest the amounts over that amount.
Council Member Lee indicated that, based on comments made previously by the
developer and counsel, he would assume there will be a challenge.
Council Member Broussard Vickers asked how the City would deny the 429 process.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated that not approving the developer's agreement would mean
the 429 process does not go forward and the developer would have to finance the project
differently.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated there would be a different development contract for
improvements with escrows required and the developer would need to have its own
engineer and own contractors and the work would have to be done to City specifications.
Mayor Sweeney indicated the developer would be responsible to pay for City inspections
as well.

C01DlCil Meeting Minutes
City Attorney Hoeft asked Council to provide direction to the developer as to how it
wished to proceed.
Mayor Sweeney indicated that Council wants to see a waiver for the costs for Phase III or
it is not prepared to move forward with the 429 process.
Ms. Karen Marty indicated that they were aware that COlIDCil might take this action and
she thinks they have discussed everything that they are going to discuss and could not
bring anything different back at another meeting. She then said that, unless Council has
specific direction for them, she does not feel it is necessary to table the matter.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the City is not asking the developer to
assume financial risk but is just asking the developer to pay the assessments for what the
property improvements cost so the City is ensured that the costs are not picked up by the
City. She further commented that this is not a case of beefing up the costs, the costs are
what they are for the improvements and the City wants the developer to agree to pay
those to limit financial risk to the taxpayers of this City.
Council Member Capra asked if the developer was open to considering financing the
improvements rather than the 429 process.
Ms. Marty indicated the developer did a waiver based on the estimate for 429
improvements for all three phases. She then said that they believe that the City has some
obligation to follow through with its side of the bargain which is to construct those 429
improvements. She then said the City can do what it wants and the developer will
respond accordingly. She further commented that it is unfortunate that the City incurred
costs but she does not see where it is possible for the developer to write a blank check to
the City for a waiver.
COlIDCil Member Broussard Vickers indicated that the City is not asking for a blank
check but an additional specific amount on the waiver for the costs for Phase III. She
further commented that the assessment was an estimate and all parties knew that in the
beginning.
City Attorney Hoeft responded by indicating that the original waiver did not obligate the
City to construct under the 429 process.
Mr. Peterson indicated that he is in the process of working with Staff on the numbers for
Phase II for the assessment hearing on November 12, 2003 and he expects to have those
figures for the next meeting so that the City will have a better idea of where it is at on the
$1.8.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated that counsel for Ground Development has already initiated
a challenge to the assessments whether it is a challenge to Phase I, Phase I and II or Phase
III, there is a challenge riding out there.

City of CenteJville
October 8, 2003
COIUlcil Meeting Minutes
Council Member Broussard Vickers asked how the developer could challenge when they
agreed not to.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated the developer felt that what was being assessed for Phase I
and/or II was somehow more than what should have been assessed under the estimated
costs. He then said that brings back the comment that, if the City does not go through
with Phase m, and the developer challenges the City on whether it is obligated he
anticipates that the developer will follow through with the dispute on the assessment for
phases I and II over some extrapolated number over the $1.8 so there may still be an issue
with one and/or two.
Ms. Marty asked what Council did because she heard a public hearing opened.
Mayor Sweeney indicated that the noise ordinance public hearing was opened but no one
was present to speak at it so the Pheasant Marsh matter was moved up to accommodate
the parties.
Ms. Marty commented that Council looked at this issue that is on the agenda and chose to
take no action. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that was correct.
Mr. Runkle from Ground Development and his counsel, Ms. Marty, left the meeting and
returned a minute later. Ms. Marty then asked for permission to address Council.
Ms. Marty indicated they would like to request some action one way or another on the
matter.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated that Council did not have to take any action as this is a
negotiation over the development agreement. He then said the agreement, as proposed, is
not acceptable to Council and Council has indicated what it wants the developer to do
and, until there is a revised development agreement, there is no approval.
Council Member Capra commented that the developer needed to take out the 429 or add
the waiver in.
Council Member Capra asked that Ms. Marty and Mr. Hoeft work on the matter.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated he would look at any proposed additional language or
would anticipate receiving pleadings.
2. Resolution #03-054 - Water Tower

an eye on the garden so it is. weeded regularly
and watered when needed. The daisies are ,al- -. "

Mary Capra, Mayor
City of Centerville
1880 Main St.
Centerville, MN 55038
Dear Mayor Capra and Council Members,
Thank you for your letter advising me of the appointment of Richard Terway as the new
Council Member, and inviting me to apply for one of the vacancies existing on three of
the city's committees. I appreciate this invitation as I would like to serve as a member on
anyone of these committees.
As I stated in my letter of interest for the City Council, I am new to the area having
moved from Eagan in July of last year. I think this is a great place to live, and I have
already observed growth and development in this area in the short time that I've lived
here. I think it's exciting and I would like to playa part in.
I have been employed by Dakota County as an advocate for Veterans in the County
Veteran Services Office since 1991. Prior to that, I was employed by Control Data as a
Buyer and Contract Administrator from 1974 to 1991 after earning my B.A. degree at
Louisiana State University in 1972 and working for two years for the Louisiana
Department of Public Welfare.
I am available for an interview. My home telephone number is (651) 454-5465.
Thank You,
Linda L. Merkel
