Curtis Coffman & Brad Hanggi - Clearwater Meadows Sidewalk/Trail Easement /Community Mail Boxes 2. Ken Sorenson - Benefit for Flood Relief OLD BUSINESS: 1. Garbage Contract 2. Lakeland Hills NEW BUSINESS: 1. Light Industrial District 2. City Pin COMMITTEE REPORTS: AD~STRATORSREPORT ADJOURN '~__.,OtI , . ANNOTATIONS PETITIONS AND COMPLAINTS 1) We have received a petition requesting that Peltier Lake Drive be disconnected at Centerville Road into a cuI de sac. I will request comments from the Police and Fire Chief. APPEARANCES 1) Curtis Coffman and Brad Hanggi will be present to discuss the possibility of moving the trail easement to the south of their homes on some undeveloped lots. In my opinion this only shifts this issue to someone else. There would be expenses incurred in redrafting and recording easements in both the Clearwater Meadows and Eagle Pass developments. 2) Ken Sorenson will be present to request a noise permit for another fund raiser benefit for flood relief. I would recommend denying this permit due to failure to perform on requirements associated with the Summer Jam event and due to the conflicting timing with the City Celebration. OLD BUSINESS 1) Garbage Contract - Please bring your copy of the proposed garbage contract with you to the meeting. If you do not have a copy contact City Hall. I would like to finalize this document so we can send this out for proposals. I would like to award the contract on July 23. The current contract expires on August 8, 1997. I received a 30 day extension until September 8, 1997 from United Waste. They are more than willing to extend the contract to whatever time period we need. I had Troy survey some of the other licensed haulers in the County to discuss their ability to service our accounts in a timely fashion if they would be awarded the contract. It does not seem to be an issue with most haulers. My initial concern was that we would eliminate potential bidders if we had too short of a time period from when the current contract would end and when the new contract would commence. This is why I requested the 30 day extension. I can discuss this in more detail at the Council meeting. 2) Lakeland Hills - The City Engineer should have copies of the final plans and we should have a Final Plat by next week Monday. I indicated that we would be assembling packets earlier than normal this week, but we could deliver the additional material to Councilmembers on Monday. ~ ~ NEW BUSINESS 1) Light Industrial District - The Planning and Zoning Commission has held a public hearing to consider the establishment of a new light industrial zoning district. I am checking on the intricacies of how this would be established during the interim while our comprehensive plan is being reviewed. I should have answers for Wednesday. 2) City pin - Attached is a price list for ordering City pins. I think this would be a worthwhile expenditure. I will see if I can get another quote prior to Wednesday. I will bring the pin samples to the meeting. .If' CITY OF CENTERVILLE CITY COUNCIL MEETING WEDNESDAY, JULY 9,1997 A regular meeting of the Centerville City Council was called to order by Mayor Tom Wilharber at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers ofthe City Hall, 1880 Main St., on July 9, 1997.

We appreciate very much the fact that the City has been working on this comprehensive plan for well oyer two years and that it has come in to the Council during that awkward time when we have significantly changed our regional policies as they apply to the City of Centerville and other communitie$ in the region. As we discussed, this plan is in verj good shape and we think that with a few minor modifications, this plan could be adjusted or amended to meet the requirements for the 1998 Metropolitan land Planning Act update, which is due by December 31, 1998. It's clear trom our conversations that the City ofCenterviHe sees itself as a life-cyde community that is sensitive to providing a range of housing types to meet the needs ofresidents now and into the future, and that the policy direction for the City is very consistent with the regional objectives. We also understand that it is import~mt to move on the comprehensive plan in its present fOml on June 16 as there are sensitivities the City has regarding some imminent development that you would like to see occur, Therefore We will move that plan on in its present fonn to the Community Development Committee on June 16 and to the full Metropolitan Council on Thursday, June 26. The staff analysis and recommendation will include the following items, as we agreed today: 1) The City will amend the plan to reflect its overall residential density of approximately 2.9 units per acre in the MUSA expansion area and make the appropriate modifications to the tables, maps, and text of the plan. 2) The term of the plan will be extended through the year 2020. 3) The plan review will be brought to the Committee on June 16, with Council review the following week. 4) We will make a recommendation to approve this plan with the above modifications. 5) And tinally, the Council will fund additional workt&revise the existing plan as part of the comprehensive plaI".ning grant process up to an estimated $1500.00. Again, I very much appreciate your willingness to take the time to problem-solve these issues with us. I believe that the resolution we've agreed to, as summarized in this memorandum, benefits both the City of Centervi11e as it grows to 2020 as well as the metropolitan region. If you have any questlons n:garding these understanding5 or modifications, please contact Dick Thompson (602-1457) or myself (602-1306).
