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.

Metropolitan Council
Working for the RegiQfl, Plallningfor Ihe Future
Internal Memorandum
DATE:
June 5, 1997
TO:
Jim March, Dean Johnson
FROM:
Tom McElveen, Richard Thompson
SUBJECT:
City of Centerville Comprebenslvt Plan I Meeting of June S, 1991
Thank you very much for taking the time to come in and visit with Diok and Michael Munson and me
today ro discuss the Centervilie comprehensive plan update. 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).
