Economic Development Committee
City of Centerville
1880 Main Street
Centerville, MN 55038
Dear Economic Development Committee:
This letter is to introduce myself as a pOSsibie candidate for memberShip on the Economic
Development Committee of Centerville. My family and I live on Cottonwood Court have been
residents of Centerville for seven years.
My current employment is as assistant professor of accounting with Metropolitan State University.
I joined Metropolitan State as a full-time faculty member in January 2005, and have been actively
involved in academics for five years. Prior to academics, I worked for Deluxe Corporation (2
years) and Wells Fargo (12 years). My work at Deluxe and Wells Fargo was in various corporate
finance and accounting roles.
My interest in the economic development committee is two-fold. First I'm concerned with the rapid
growth in the community and the upcoming expansion of county road 14. I would like to become
more involved in the community in which I live as we experience these changes. Secondly, part
of my role as a resident facUlty member at a state institution of higher learning, is service to the
community. I hope my financial background could be of use to this committee and the community.
I would like to attend the next meeting of the Economic Development Committee on June 14,
meet current members, and consider next steps regarding my joining this committee.
Please call if you have any questions or concems, 651/407-9936
Thank you very much,

included the traditional down-town (a cent:taI
business district) and the TH 95 comm=:ial strip and
1-35/TH 95 comrnerc.ia.linterchange area.
Fmally,B.iko Associates prepared the first
comprehensive plan for the City of North Branch, .
Minnesota, fallowing the metgec of Branch Township
and North Branch. Biko Associates was rCllponsible
for completing all elements of the comprehensive
plan including:
· Public participation process
. Land use
· Community services,
. Ttansportation,
· Public infrasttuctute, and
. Open space protectinn
The comprehensive plan was complered in 1997.
Following completion of the plan, Biko Associates
was contracted to update the new colIU1lunity's
zoning and subdivision ordinances.
Pine City Comprehensive Plan 1998
Bike Associates was contracted to prepare the
Comprehensive Plan for Pine Oty. The planning
process included community ~ This WItS a
first.time occurrence for COmmunttles In MinnesOta.
Critical issues were orderly housing development and
slahiJizing the downtown area. The recommended
approach was developed during .. community
charrette process where residents discussed logical
ways to define districts (latger neighborhoods) within
the l:ommunity. Bach district was a.lJocated .. share of
anticipated future residential development in the
comprehensive plan.
Athens Township Comprehensive PI.a.n 2003-
2004
The Athens Township Comprehensive Plan was only
completed in 2004, and represented the l:ommunity's
first comprehensive planning effort. Critical issues
included: a) the possihilityofhosrile annexation from
the city of lsanti, b) impacts ofTH 65 as a barrier
that prevents l:ommunity cohesion, c)
environmenta.lly sensitive lands and the identification
of appropri-ate land uses (most importantly .
residential development), and d) development of ,.
town l:enter.
The most significant element of the Comprehensive
Plan relative to Cenrerville is the introduction of the
Town Center for Athens Township.
Biko Associates produced 9O"A of the Comprehensive .
Plan. A $l1lH:onsu,1tant to OUt te:!-tn prepared zo~

Bilro Associates was founded by indMd~ who
believe In the effectiveness and value of an inclusive
and empowering planning and design process.
Commit:cnellt to this approach led the partners to
design their secvires around community involvement
and participation and the principal that opportunities
to choose should be given to Institutions and
individuals who are often excluded from public
debates and decision-making processes.
Bilro Associates stresses objtctive and fair aoaIysis,
attention to detail, clear and precise presenwions and
high level of client contact and communication. Biko
Associates is recognized as a leader in the area of
public involvement and citizen participation.
Bilro Associates are experts in the areas of planning
and design. Stakeholders of Centerville are experrs in
understanding local needs and issues that will read to
a successful future. Out mission and philosophy is to
bring these two talents together to fotge a plan that
responds to local, gta5sroors interes!S and needs and
is tempered by a knowledge of local, area, and
regional planning and design issues that will help craft
the most effective Msster Plan foe Downtown .
Cenrecville.
We are adv~es and adherents of the philosophy
and practice of Smart Growth. We promote these
goals in cnrrent and past projects. We are champions
ofTtlIOSit Oriented Development (rOD). Out work
professionally and our afIiIiatjon with the Congress
fur the New Utbanlsm and the ~ota Design
Team are wil:ncsS to Q\lt commitment.
It is Oljl: undetlItanding that the City of Cenrecville,
like most sitniIu communities in the Metro Area, are
experiencing those inte1:tlal and exremaI influences
that cause the need to reassess near term and long
range tn?intenJ>nce and groWth strategies and goals.
Mssrer Plans by their very title and nature are
activities that accomplish these goals, This planning
process must address the current needs of Centerville,
fut example, to compete favorably with adjacent
communities, and to enSUIe its fotnre viability by
pteparing and fullowing a guide. a Msster Plan.
We also understand that planning and design aoaIysis
for the dawntown area will need to be jnformed by
com~ted research and plao.ning studies and ongoing
planning efforts. Among the completed planning
studies are the city's comprehens1ve plan, the result of
the Minnesota Design Team's visit in 1998, a
Srreetscape and Urban Design Guideline Plan, A,noIta
County's plans for the realignment llnd roo.rganization
oflands adjacent to CSAH 14 & 21, llnd studies that
addressed utilities, housing and Centerville's
economic marker.

The Downtown Redevelopment Master Plan study
should additionally be informed by the community's
zoning regulations, development of zoning standards
and coordination with Anob County's
comprehensive p1an.
Centerville's Downtown Redevelopment Master Plan
should not only address immediate concerns, but also
provide the community with design~,
development pollcies, and an implementation plan
that can be used to stage future development. One of
those future stages is dealing 'With the private
deveioptpent !X'ffimunity. We have had recent
success with assisting Cities with public/private
development coordination in term.s of p1~f'ning lilid
design efforts md assisting with developer selection
and plan implementation.
Our pJ~nn"'g/~ process will track that of a
typJcm cornptehemive plan with the focus being the
downf.9Wti and associated influence zones awu.!ld the
existing downtown. The identified pl.nn;ng and
~ issues include:
. Co~unitr Imggr and ,r.dl"flt1~
WbJlt Mil where is Cente.MIIe? A ~a1 first
qtlC$tion is what does Ct:1:>tetville have to offer
and how can that message be.transmil;ted to the
region. This is a community visioniog exercise
not d1ss;m;l.r to process and exercises conducted
dUJ:jng the Design Team visit. .It is important to
recogtliz<:t:bpse effortS and relnfotce them
through this Master Plan effort Past wotk will
fotm the fuundation for answers to the what and
where ~tion.
. rrnnple~ ll1Vt!ntnri""
We will conduct complete inventories of existing
systems including housing, business,
trans~ tr.ill, shore land, buJlding
conditions, city propet:tiq. O:mnty 1-{jghway /and
~ and envitonmental to assess Plan needs to
address specific topics. This task will be further
refined as we move through the planning and
~ process.
. lAnd Use and Growth M~ent
The City needs to ensure that /and.is being
consumed in a logical and sustainable In.n"<'t in
order to conserve resources and provide residents
the greatest efficiencies and economies possible.
Growth is not a problem. Unbridled growth that
occurs where it should not occur and in a mannet
that does not teinforce the community's vision,
goals, and objectives is a problem. Growth that
is nol reflective of the vision, goals and objectives
for the downtown area is counterproductive.
Smart Growth philosophies and practices apply
well to Centerville. Centerville would do well 10
investigate and embrace the practices of Smart
Uving; prior to and together with the Stated
desires to incorporate Sntart Growth principals.
Sntart Living embraces those' activities that we
can all enjoy and use today that help to reinforce
Sntart Growth principals. One example would
include opting to bike or walk: fot some daily
ernnds even though there might not, as yet, be a
dedicated bikiog or walking path available.
Another example is opting to live near
employment Gunted, not all can afford 10
lIllm: based solely 011 eJ7'lPloyment, but great
benefits can be derived to reducing commuting
time 2nd energy consumption.
· Economic DevelQpment .nr! Market Amlysis
Protecting that whkb exists and augmenring
existing vet1tures "With complementllty uses is vital .
to the success of any downtown area. CenterviIIe
must identiJY its role in the area and region and
approach market and economic development
opportunities that are realistic given sutrol.1nding
influences and the needs of lhe local community.
We will rely on existing market data and studies
prepared by The McComb Group to assess
I:I:llUket conditions and make recommendations to
adjuSt the economic development focus to better
respond to influences. The end teSuit will be to
determine the direction of business activities, and
evalllate the potential for strengthening the
downtown through economic development
opportunities.
. HOlls,pg-
There is general understanding that a mix of
housing 6ptions conttibutes to the health 2nd
divertity of a community. Housing, arguably the
most ~ investment a community's
residents will ever tnJlke, is the single most
important factor that conttibules to a
community's identity.
An inventory will be conducted as part of the
planning process to assess the current state of
housing supply, location, condition and value
based 011 available data and studies. Analysis will
also be conducted to assess future demand for
various types of housing (single family and multi-
Page 6
0/1
family) for various housing markers and a range
of price points.
Housing recommendations will address lOOltion
lUld design issues. A focus will be
on s\:\Stainable housing development thaI might
be suitable for the dOWlllOWn area.
. Trao~tioo
The ability for eeoterville to influence the nature
and extent of proposed County Rood 14/21

. Environmental Analysis
~~ will be conducted to identify natur:U:and
built _ where potential environmentallssues
may arise. ArellS of 0011= will often be where:
a) sensitive recrPtots interface with the
externalities of development (parking lots,
parkinglot lighting, traffic, etc.) and b) ",-here
development interfaces with the natural
environment, edge conditions.
Polluted sites are mentioned in the RFP. We will
document know sires and consult with the EP A
to determ1ne mitigating measures and potential
costs.
We stress environmenllllly sensitive planning and
design in all our wotk. CenterviUe offers unique
opportunities given the downtown's proximity to
centerville LUre. Green technology will be
incorporated into the planning process to ensure
compliance with environmentally sensitive
practices.
. Dem~bic and F.rnnomic lnfo~..tio"
Ftl......-
Past smes will form the foundation for this
work. Past and current US Census dsta will be
analyzed to provid~ II base of information about
the Cotrimunity. Socio-economic and
demographic data will serve as the base from
which projections will be made.
. Desi~ GujpeJinM
Urban design and architectora1 design guidelines
will be deve.loped that reinforce Smart Growth
princ.ip9ls and the unique historic character of
CenterviUe.
. Develqpment s_+
One of the key components of a Masiet l"Ian is
implementation Of the "Now What" section.
CentervilIe will need assistance frorn the
development coriununity to ensute .. yiable and
suctilssfuI downtown. One _y to ensure
success is to engage the development community
eady in the ptOO:ss all a soUnd.mg board and a
resonrtC for decislon-maldog. 'We have found
success by involving devclopers in t6\1.rs and
roundtable discussions. We have aSsisted Cities
with the preparation of Requests for Proposals
from the development community and have
acted as a liaison between Cities and developets
to ensure plan.integrity.
Bike Associates' proposed work program is divided
into three phases, and each phase is divided into task-
specific activities.
PHASE 1; GETTING STARTED
This Phase will be deroted to establishing and
working with a community-based Sleeting Committee
and building a database of information and redefining

Biko Associates was retained by Athens Township 10 assist with the preparation
of their ftrst Comprehensive Plan. Prior wnrk for the Township included the
preparation of a Township Framework Plan that addressed critical, sholHerm
issues of annexation pressure from adjacent communities and access issues along
Highway 65 with MnDOT. Biko Associates successfully completed the
Framework Plan that resulted in opening responsive communications with
adjacent communities and an earned respect from MnDOT in dealing wilh
transportation issues.
Athens Township recognized that the Framework Plan was merely the flfSt step
in what the Township really needed, a complete Comprehensive Plan. Biko
Associates worked closely with the Board of Supervisors, Planning Commission,
Township staff and all residents through a questionnaire that received a 25%
response rate to ensure a thorough planning and design effort and to help ensure
easy public acceptance and implementation.
Key components of the Plan included a sound environmentally based process to
guide future growth in a manner consistent with the overriding concern of
residents that Athens Township retains its rural character. Potential land
planning techniques such as transfer of development rights and the introduction
of a Town Center to accept the majority of future growth were used to assist the
Township in achieving their goals.

growth has challenged the City in many ways,
including planning the future of their downtown.
An emphasis 'llIfIS plated an creating 1m appealing,
walWle pltut fir St. Michael residents to enjrIJ fir
[ mtmy years.
In 2003, the City Council began working with SRF
to develop a Downtown Plan that sets a vision
'"' fur the coming decades. A key part of the
planning effort was preserving the downtowns
unique character, which includes the historic St.
Michael church, schools, recreation center, and
locally significant businesses. One of the City's
primary concerns was managing traffic at an
increasingly busy intersection in the heart of
downtown.
A citizen's committee considered possible
alternatives for downtown streets and furore
development. Access to and retention of existing
businesses and a welcoming environment for
pedestrians were among the group's most important
criteria for the plan.
-
~
Approved by the City Council in 20M, the plan
guides the expansion of Downtown, calling for
new offices, retail, and residences and a possible
addition to the St. Michael Elementary School. It
also provides the most advantageous parking and
access layout for e:risting business while maintaining
key local landmarks. The emphasis on creating an
appealing, walkable place ensures that Downtown
St. Michael will continue to be a place for residents
to meet and mingle in the years to come.
Columbia Heights
Downtown Master Plan
The City of Columbia Heights asked SRF to
prepare a master redevelopment plan to improve the
image and vitality of their downtown. The area
includes the traditional downtown commercial core,
City Hall and Community Center area, and
adjacent neighborhoods.
An Advisory Task: Force, including citizens and SRF
staff, established objectives and developed a vision
for recommendation to the City Council. The Task:
Force began its work by:
· Analyzing the physical, demographic, and market
factors impacting the study area.

· Developing several alternative land use scenarios
and comparing them against project objectives.
· Gathering public input on alternatives.
The cwo alternatives chosen for inclusion in the
master plan report offer variations in character and
focus for a new downtown identity while
supporting the broader goals of the project. The
"Town Square" alternative centers a mix of civic,
commercial. and residential activities on a
community square adjacent to Central Avenue, and
the "Urban Green" alternative presents Central
Avenue as the focus of civic and commercial activity.
A streelScape plan was also developed that includes
lighting, pavement, street trees, and furnishings that
define the scale and character of the streets within
the downtown core area.

the area and assess its fiscal feasibility for
redevelopment. Market analysis and an inventory of
existing conditions supported the preparation of
three alternative concepts for the study area. Each
concept was evaluated and a hybrid was chosen as
the preferred alternative for refinement.
Understanding the fiscal feasibility of
redevelopment on the Crystal Heights site was a key
feature of the planning work.. SRF worked closely
with our subconsuItants and City staff to ensure
that the proposed alternatives were viable from
an economic feasibility perspective. Discossions
of project costs and potential revenues prompted
planning decisions about the level of residential
density, the land use mix, and other community
amenities on the site.
Transit service and facilities were considered as an
integral component of the area's redevelopment.
Each redevelopment concept was evaluated from an
"if/then" perspective to understand how transit
service and facilities could influence the site\;
redevelopment potential.
The preliminary redevelopment plan was presented
to the Crystal Economic Development Authority in
2003.

The Elmwood area of St. Louis Park is a 50-year-
old industrial and commercial use area located near
the emerging town center at Park Commons.
Changes in land use along Excelsior Boulevard and
the areas residential and commercial real estate
market have been increasingly visible in the last few
years. The character of the area is strongly
influenced by access to and from major regional
roads such as Highway 100, Highway 7, and
Excelsior Boulevard. The areas fumre will be
similarly shaped by these connections and the
arrival of LRT in the Southwest Corridor.

At the request of Hennepin County and the City of
5t Louis Park, SRF completed a long-range plan to
guide land use and transportation changes. We
focused on the areas of redevelopment planning,
market analysis and fiscal impacts, land use,
transportation, and urban planning.
Extensive stakeholder involvement occurred to
solicit input and build consent. We developed a
public involvement plan to elicit input from public
agencies, local businesses, property owners,
neighborhood residents, and developers during the
planning process, which ensured that the needs of
the neighborhood and primary stakeholders were
understood.
The end product provides the City with an
understanding of the economic and physical
influences that will affect the area in the furore.
Changes to Highway 100 access, rail crossings of
Highway 100, and the arrival of LRT service are all
anticipated in the next ten to 20 years.
Redevelopment strategies and analysis of
transportation,c~tionandttanmtstation
locations, and market assessments of future land use
change ",ill assist the private and public sector alike
in future decision-making for the Elmwood area.
Our work on this project was completed during

In many of the mettopolitan area's rapidly growing
communities, citizens, and leaders are actively
seeking methods to retain a unique sense of place
and character. The pace and scale of growth in
many outlying communities poses a clear prospect
of change fur places like CenterviUe. Our experience
has shown us that planning grounded in a pragmatic
vision of the future is the best way to respond
proactiveJy and preserve the community's most
important physical and civic features.
For this project, we have outlined an approach that
is based on applying best planning practices that are
associated with downtown revitalization to an
intensive and focused series of public participation
events. Based on our project experience, we have
fuund that well-informed citizens who are actively
involved in planning can be the most effective
engine to drive good planning ourcomes.
SRF always works as an impartial
advocate - presenting information
to our dients in order to facilitate
their decision-making process.
Our approach is described in the diagram below. It
is a progressive approach that bnilds on the
successes and knowledge gained at each phase of the
work.
As shown in the diagram, two large scale public
events would occur at Step 3 (Workshop) and Step 5
(Open House). Other important points of public
involvement would occur at Step 2 (Walking Tour)
and Step 8 (Approval and Adoption). Additional
details of om approach and understanding are
presented in the work program"

. Building condition and activity
· Topography
· Soils and/or contamimtion

. Ownership
· Infrastructure assessment, including sidewalks
and trails
· Parking

Maxfield's market research must be completed
before the first major public event, which is planned
for the third phase in the planning process, can be
initiated. Maxfield will coordinate their efforts with
the McComb Group to deliver a market study
recommending a range of residential and non-

Phase 3 The Big Picture!
This phase will revolve around a public workshop
called "Downtown 2030.>> At this workshop, we will
use a slideshow to educate the general public about
existing conditions downtown, trends that affect
downtown redevelopment in the metropolitan area
and nationwide, and, finaI1y, the issues and
opportnnities identified by the Steering Committee
during Phase 2.
Following this presentation, participants will be
invited to playa planning game that illustrates the
community's vision for Downtown 2030. The
game will consist of representing the market
research study recommendations with appropriately
scaled game pieces. which will be laid down and
moved around by small groups of citizens according
Phase 2. What Are the Issues &
Opportunities?
After assembling the available data and creating new
information when needed, SRF will meet with the
Steering Committee and City staff to conduct a
walking tour of Downtown. The purpose of the
tour is to look at what is on the ground today,
discuss potential opportnnities or problems as future
change occurs, and share thoughts about real places
and conditions.
The discussion will end with a qnick sketch
mapping exercise, where observations and
[] possibilities will be noted on the base map. In
addition, we will also observe areas where there are
conflicting ideas, as heard on the walking tour.

to their ideas of what the future downtown should
look like. Game pieces will represent housing,
commercial and industrial uses, civic and
community facilities (parks and civic buildings),
parks and open spaces, as well as trails and
sidewalks. Additional categories can be added if
needed.
Involvement in this workshop should be broad
based and inclusive. It is important to extend the
invitation to the broader community, including
young people and families who may not typically
participate in such events. The planning game can
be played simultaneously by between 60 to 80
participants in small groups of up to 10 people,
which will each be led by a facilitator.

Using planning games gets the public involved

Workshop participants can be recruited through
social and civic networks, including youth groups,
service clubs, and religious congregations. We
recommend designing the planning game and other
materiala to be accessible to older kids and teens by
using imagery and interactive materials.

Downtown Centerville 2030 plans created during
the public workshop and evaluate the recommen-
dations. Based on this information, we will prepare
two alternatives to simplity the possibilities and

Phase S What Works?
At this point, our efforts will be focused on
evaluating the alternatives according to land use,
transportation impacts, and development feasibility.
In addition, two refined alternatives will be
produced for public presentation and review at the
community open house.
Ir would be useful to have a preferred alternative
selected before the open house, although both
alternatives should be presented. This strategy
enables the public to provide focused input yet still
offers an opponunity to respond to the feedback
and revise the preferred alternative before bringing
it ro City elected leaders and decision-makers.

We suggest using a community survey at the open

particularly from people who are not comfortable
speaking at public meetings, but have important
feedback to offer.

This phase is dedicated to defining a preferred
alternative and finalizing recommendations that can
be advanced for City Council approval and,
ultimately, implementation. Although the budget

The City of Hastings, a dassicMississippi Ri_town, enjoys acoounerciallyvibrant,
historically intact downtown district that serves local residents with a variety of
services and retail options andattracts visitors from around theregion.Anumber of
changes, either alreadyio the works or visible on the horizon, prompted the City to
hire HKGi to complete a livable Communities Grant application to help fund a
downtownmasterplanning elfort that will help the City guide those changes so they
have a positive effect on the downtown.
Highlights of the Downtown Master plan ioclude: greater connections between

Although the City of Hutchinson's downtown maintained much ofits original
character, signs ofits age and decreasing eoonomicviabilitywere beginning to show,
prompting the City to hire a oonsultingteam, led by HKGi, to develop amasterplan
to guide future efforts to revitalize downtown Hutchinson. The study included an
extensive assessment of downtown's current conditions; amarketanalysis; land use,
traffic, and parkingreoommendations; streetscape and building design guidelines;
and an implementation strategy to guide the City through planimplementation.
The Master Planattemptsto build uponHutcbinson's existingstrengths. For example,
the City's residents have a strong history of supporting the performing arts and
wouIdlike their downtown to include such opportunities.The Master Planseizes on
this objective byproposing aninitiative to reuse a downtown school auditorium as
amuIti-organizational perfurming arts centertbat oouIdhostlocally-produced and
touringproductions. Civicuses such as the Ubrary---a Carnegie library surrounded
by library Square park--also form a pillar of the downtown fabric. Revitalization
efforts should capitalize on the activity generated by civic uses. Otherinitiatives
build on the downtown's historic character, the Crow River and Luce line Trail as
recreationalattractions, and1bedesire ofHutchinson'sresidentstoseemore downtown

Less than two years after a downtown redevelopment plao failed to receive City
Council approval, the Rosemount PortAuthorityturned to HKGi to help chart a
course for the future ofDowntownRosemount. HKGiledan eight-month planniog
process that drew on input from the public, market research, financial analysis,
developer reviews, andHKGi's urban design and project experience. Furthermore,
because of the history ofplanniog efforts in downtown Rosemount, HKGi placed
additional emphasis on formulating a plan that the City could immediately begin
toimplement
Downtown Rosemount is facing several imminent changes that will have a great
effectonthe economicandphysicallaodscape.Wrthoutsoundstrategies to guide the
City through changes such as the relocations of St. Joseph's Church and the Genz-
Ryao business; aredevelopmentproposalfortheBrockaway Glass Factory; a purchase
agreementfor akeypiece of downtown property; siting of aDakota County library;
andfutureimprovements to the downtown schools, such changes mighteither havea
detrimental effect on the downtown environment or might not berealized to their
fullest potential as catalysts forpositive downtown redevelopment.
The planning process identified eight separate "focus areas" within the downtown.

HKGi must first understand what exists and what people desire for
development in this area. The first steps in this process are meant to provide
that base of understanding, so that subsequent explorations are directed
toward concepts that can be supported by the community and property
owners. HKGi intends to work directly with a Steering Committee, whose
primary role is to guide the development of concepts and to evaluate them
as they evolve into a final plan. We also believe that the community _
especially land and building owners and local businesses _ should be
exposed to the work before it is completed. We have structured the work
program to allow input from the community at key points in the
development of the plan. HKGi proposes to conduct a significant portion
of the investigation and exploration "on site." It is our intention to conduct
an intensive work session (commonly known in design circles as a
"charrette"), which would include meetings with the community, affected
property owners and the Steering Committee. The charrette process allows
for very direct community participation and is one of the best ways of
engaging people in planning processes. The charrette encourages sharing
d exploration from the beginning and throughout the planning process.
e charrette process would be used in tasks 1 and 3, with the more
intensive charrette as part of task 3. The Work Program that follows is the
basis for this proposal and can be modified to more directly meet the needs
of the city.
Task 0.0 Organize the effort
Prior to undertaking anyinvestigations or preparing anyplans, the HKGi team will
collect all available background information. We will begin compiling base map
information, so that mapping can be efficiently verified during our first visit to the
community. Basemap data will come &omAnoka County and the City's consulting
engineers. We willmeetwith Staff and representatives of a Steering Committee to
review the project, define project roles andresponsibilities, agree to a schedule and
the approach to the work. The purpose of this task is to clarify'intentions and roles
atthe outset of the project, rather than having to refocus or redirect effortl; once work
has begun.
Sub - Tasks Indude:
0.1 Collect and assemble background data including butnotlimited to =t

Task 1.0 Identify what exists
The creation of the RedevelopmentPlan should be rooted in whatis appropriate to
Centerville--nota set of directions imposed withoutregardforits unique character
and qualities. CenterviJlehas much to draw from: a strong and compellingplanfor
thispart of downtown should have a way of reflecting the character of the town and
the desires of its people, and the opportunities that might be afforded by the
realignmentofCR 14. HKGi will establish the local influences for design and
development character - a process that will lead to a plan that reinforces local
qualities and opportunities-and will define the functional character that will be
necessary to support developmentwithin the project area. The catalyzing event for
thisprojectis theproposedimprovements andredesign of CR 14, the HKGi team
will be particularly observant regarding key transportation characteristics.
The redevelopment area does not exist in a vacuum. It is located near a major
regional park and open space amenity and is directly connected to the regional
freewaysystem. A part of our investigations willinclude the pursuit of information
for concerns or opportunities that lie beyond the particular bounds of the project
area. his our experience that the work of investigating the community might best
begin with a tour lead by"local experts." While we will be gathering quantitative
information abouttheprojectarea, the tourprovides us with an opportunity to hear
anecdotal information - which often is more interesting and to the point than
whatwe findin our research
It will also be important in this stage of the work to examine thepotential of various
types of development. An DVerviewwill be provided that addresses the likelihood of

retail, entertainment, lodging, office and even residential uses -information
that will be essential in understanding the land use patterns that might
ultimately occur in this part of downtown. In this aspect of the work,
market potential will be framed (by the McComb Group) in a more general
way to allow for realistic discussions of possible development scenarios.
The charrette process will be used to present our findings from the tour
and various research in graphic form. This stage of the work will assess or
examine:
.

in the redevelopment plan, in an effort to maintain or enhance its
role as a significant part of the downtown commercial district;
land use patterns that might influence directions for development
in the downtown;
the ability of existing utilities to serve potential new development;
the character and function of streets within and surrounding the
project area and their ability to reasonably serve potential new
development;
the supply and demand for parking to serve existing uses and the
needs for new parking to serve potential new development;

Task 2.0
Understand what is desired
Meaningful plans must not only recognize those patterns or factors that
reflect the character of a place and the physical. or economic potential of
an area, they must also strive to capture the spirit of what the people
desire. HKGi proposes to begin the involvement of the community at this
point in the process; at Workshop One, the community shares their concerns
and provides insights about its desires for the future of this area. It's
particularly important because the change to CR 14 presents challenges
and offers a significant opportunity for uniting downtown Centerville.
Our task, in this phase of the work, is to better understand how the oommunity and
those property owners directly affected by these changes, see downtown evolving.
Direction provided through the workshop will form the principles that will guide
theredevelopmentmasterpIan.
We hegin this prooess with an understandingthatno redevelopment decisions have
heenmade, no directions have heen set, andno plans have been drafted. We would
begin with a presentation - building the case for a redevelopment plan,
understanding changes to CR 14, citing benefits for the community and
businesses, outlining the process for developing the work (and indicating
opportunities for future input); presenting our thoughts about downtown
Centerville and where we see opportunities within the redevelopment
area; and then taking input from participants.
Beyond Workshop One, HK Gi will conduct a seriesof targeted interviews
with individuals or small groups defined by the Steering Committee. These
interviews, conducted anonymously, will allow HKGi t9 gain deeper insight
into the issues and concerns of the community, and permit us t9 understand
the views of "key players" - most likely, those individuals that are directly
affected by any changes within the project area. By agreeing to conduct
the interviews anonymously, We have found the people are more willing
to share critical information, offer opposing viewpoints, and, most
importantly, to simply participate in the planning pr?cess.
llitimately, this part of the process will be used to inform the planning
process and guide the creation of alternatives for land use and development.

Task 3.0 Explore possible directions
We propose a charrette format to explore a series of alternatives for the
redevelopment area. The charrette's most significant element is the
collaborative work session conducted on-site by the HKGi team. The session
allows for the interests of the entire consulting team to be shared in a
process that affords balance to the redevelopment scenarios. In this sense,
those alternatives will address not only the physical design and function of
the redevelopment area, they will consider issues of market potential as
provided by the McComb Group.
The HKGi team will generate to to three alternative scenarios for
redevelopment to demonstrate a range of possible solutions, and to provide
a means of evaluating potential directions when no clear solution is evident.
Each alternative might have different implications in terms of aesthetics;
the role of CR 14 as it relates to potential development; the changes in
traffic patterns as a result of the CR 14 redesign; access to development
for both cars and pedestrians; the demand for (or impacts on) parking;
relationship to other community features/institutes (such as the school);
establishment or reinforcement of landmarks or other identity features;
cost; development potential; or the means of implementation. Sketches,
diagrams, sections and photographs will be used to illustrate the intentions
of each of the alternative copcepts.
The HKGi team will demonstrate various development types and begin to
frame implementation strategies that underlie each concept alternative.
Early consideration of both market potential and development feasibility
will ensure the plan is credible in the marketplace and realistic in terms of
the City's ability to make development occur according to the directions
of the plan. The translation of alternative scenarios to more final direction
occurs only after the Steering Committee has the opportunity to consider
the implications of the alternatives and understand how each alternative
supports other goals of the City. While the community will be asked to
indicated a preference during Workshop Two, the Steering Committee will
be asked to con6rm the preferred scenario, or to combine the best aspects
of any of the scenarios presented. The HKGi team will then begin the
process of refining the preferred alternative and creating the final
redevelopment plan.

the community and affected property owners and offers continuity through
implementation. HKGi will prep;u-e an illustrative dorument - with photographs,
sketches, diagrams andsupportingnarrative- to allow people to fullyunderstand
what is anticipated by the redevelopment plan. The document will be
"friendly and approachable" - a key step in ensuring that it is both read
and understood. It will also provide the requisite technical information to
ensure that implementation of the redevelopment plan occurs with
consistency, coherency and credibility.

The plan that results will provide solid direction for the subsequent steps
in the redevelopment process, and will demonstrate how the vision of the
community can be articulated through key redevelopment strategies. It is
important that this redevelopment plan be seen as the tool the community
will use to foster the redevelopment process. Each private sector developer
interested in creating a project in the redevelopment area should be fully
aware that their proposal will be reviewed using the redevelopment plan
as both guide and criteria for suitability
The strategies to be employed in implementing the redevelopment plan
will also be defined during this stage of the work. Important aspects of the
implementation strategy includes defining the financial tools and resources
that might be applied during the implementation process as well as the
identifying and describing "first step" projects. The HKGi team expects to
work closely with City Staff resources in this task. In order to effectively
move forward the plan must also be put into context with the City's
Comprehensive Plan. The Metropolitan Land Planning act requires that

zoning be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and to that extent, the
redevelopment plan should indicate any changes needed to the
Comprehensive Plan.
The redevelopment plan and implementation strategies will be reviewed
with the Steering Committee and adjustments will be made based on input
received.
Sub- Tasks Iuclude:
4. 1 Refine the preferred alternative into draftredevelopmentplan.
4.2 illustrate character of development and special elements andfeatures of

4.3 Defineimplementationstrategiesrequiredformoving ahead with theplan.
4.4 Review the plan with the Steering Committee;andmake adjustments as
f9Uired.
Task 5.0 Agree to move forward
The redevelopment plan is the community's effort to guide development
along a path that supports their vision. Informing the community of the
drrections that have been set might best occur in an "Open House" -
before the work is brought for formal review. An Open House allows the
public to view the master plan at their own pace, to ask questions drrect1y
of the consultants without having to ask the questions publicly, and to offer
written and verbal comments. In particular, this format allows those who
feel they are most drrectly affected by the plan to ask questions and voice
their thoughts or concerns drrectly to the consultant team. HK Gi proposes
to conduct such an Open House to receive final comments from the
community prior to preparing the final redevelopment plan document.
Input received at the Open House .vill be reviewed with the Steering
Committee and incorporated into the work as drrected. HKGi will then
prepare a draft document for presentation to the City Council. Based on
comments received, the final document will be produced.
Sub - Tasks Include:

Downtown Brooklyn Center
SCOPE: The Brooklyn Center Smart Growth opportunity site is
situated in Brooklyn Center, a city of nearly 30,000 about five and a
halfmiles northwest of downtown Minneapolis. The lOa-acre town
center area encompasses a large area of auto-oriented and "big box"
retail which has grown up around BrookdaJe mall, some of which is
performing poorly; the Earle Brown Heritage Center, a popular
convention center within the buildings of a historic farm; several city
and county facilities such as the city hall and county h'brary; some areas
of single family and multifamily housing; and a transit hub which Metro
Transit plans to upgrade in the future. Nearby natural and recreational
areas include Shingle Creek, Brooklyn Center's Central Park, and the
Shingle Creek Pathway.
Like many cities developed according to the surburban model, Brooklyn
Center lacks a sense of"center: It has the elements that make a good
town, but they are separated and disjointed, and no place feels like the
true heart of the city. While aging retal! areas pose a challenge fur cities,
they also present a great opportunity to improve the qualityoflife of the
citizens and for the making of a true community place. The plan will
show how one such area could befil1ed in with newhumsn scale
development to serve as Brooklyn Center's newest neighborhood.
Damon Farber Associates has been hired to guide the development of a
Framework Land-Use plan and set of Design Guidelines to p'l'Ovide the
development community with direction on preparing development
propoaals that reflect the vision for the town center. The opportunity
site phtn illustrates how Smart Growth development in an older
suburban commercial area could serve to revitalize the area and ensure

SCOPE, Excelsior 8< Grand is a new mixed-use redevelopment which
employs traditional neighborhood planning principles in an existing,
1950'S era neighborhood. Excelsior 8< Grand is the result of a community
wide visioning process that created a plan for redeveloping an eight square
block area into a vibrant space for living, shopping and working. It
represents the new, transit related, pedestrian friendly, vertically
integrated, mixed-use downtown which this community has never had.
The centerpiece of the 19 acre projectls theTown Green; a 2.75 acre public
open space fronted by retail shops and restaurants. Elements such as
decorative street lighting, banners, seasonal planters, public art, arbors,
fountains and decorative pavers reinforce the pedestrian atmosphere and
promote the image of a vital community destination. The Town Green
connects the major arterial street on the south with the existing public
park on the north. This is designed to encourage public events and
activities, both planned and spontaneons.
The Masterplan calls for 660 apartment homes and condominiums for
a variety of income levels, on the upper levels of the mixed-use
buildings. The ground floors contains 76.000 square feet of retail and
restaurant space. Additional retail/service space occupy the ground
llooroftwo 'boutique" office buildings totaling 130,000 square feet.
A five hundred person Veterans' Memorial amphitheater provides a
space for community eventa and also provides ADA access to nearby
Wolfe park. The unique partnership between private development and
public open space results in a space that reflects the vision of the
community.

The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes - Lifestyle Center
SCOPE: The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes Ufestyle Center results from an
environment that embodies methods of wayfinding, an
experiential atmosphere, clarity of organization, a feeling of warmth
and familiarity, and a pedestrian scale. The development of the lifestyle
center responds to the initial phases of Arbor Lakes by providing open
space for community gathering whicl:1 is not currently present in the
"Main Street" development.
The intent throughout the development is to provide a variety of plant
materials that are hardy, salt tolerant and drought resistant. The
landscape enhances the cl:1ange of seasOU$ through the introduction of
materials of various scales, forms, textures and colors.
The outdoor focus of this development is the 375 foot-long by 12,5 foot-
wide .PIaza of the Seasons." The plaza reinforces the concept of
celebrating the four seasOU$ by incorporating Ial'ge expanses of planted
areas that will accommodate a variety of programmed activities from
small summer concerts, to outdoor markets to wandering min.strels and
costumed storytellers. All the elements combine to create an inviting
and exciting year-around outdoor envixonment.

The Village at Mendota Heights
SCOPE: The "Village at Mendota Heights", currently under construction,
will be a mixed-use development with approximately 135 new housing
units and approximately 47,000 sf. of retail space and 40,000 sf of office
space. The Developer and the city have made a commitment to outdoor
living and wellness; the projects own signature 'Market Square', open space

We will provide the City of Centerville with the highest level of
professional expertise. We believe that a well crafted process that
balances community input with market feasibility will result in a
visionary plan for the future and reflect residents' needs for a quality
downtown experience.
(
(

(
C
The foundation created through this process will ultimately assist the
city in the analysis of development proposals and provide the
information required for the development community to respond with
proposals that better reflect the vision of the community.
Key guiding, planning and design principles that should be considered
as a part of the downtown planning process include:
Creation of a quality public Creative building density
realm reflecting the unique Balance pedestrian and auto
qualities of New Market Shared district parking
Mix of uses Mix of architectural expression
Astreetscape network A green network and landscape
Mixofaffordability Abluenetwork(wetlandsf
Public-private partnerships stormwater management)
Financial sustainability
c'
Each of these principles should be considered prior to finalizing a vision
for the future of downtown to have it become the vibrant community
destination that will make it successful in the long-run. Two steps are
important in getting the project off to a good start - engaging key
stakeholders and the community in the process and a firm
understanding of the existing site and infrastructure. The knowledge
gained from these initial steps will serve as a point of reference
throughout the process. This will help to insure that all aspects of a
rich, downtown experience are rea1ized in the master plan.
The plan and guidellnes developed through this process must also be
tested against the realities of the market. We are oommitted to working
with The McCombs Group to insure that the plans and guidelines are
realistic. Our experience tells us that if significant publlc investment is
made to create a unique sense of place that the market forces can
change during a redevelopment effort. We will work with the McCombs
Group to better define how Ii new vision for Centerville might create
new market forces.
(I
(1
c
c
(
(
(
('
Once the plan has been tested against market realities it will be our
responsibility to work with the city to modify the City's Comprehensive
Plan and/or Zoning Ordinance to reflect the final plan. The vlslon
created through this study will ultimately guide the development
community in the continued growth of this area.
(
(
(
The approach we have outlined has resulted in plans and guidelines
that are embraced bY the communities, in which they were created,
reflect the unique qualities of each city and have become intertwined
with the planning fabric of each community. Our plan is to work with
Centerville to realize a plan that reflects your vision, is feasible and
builds community pride. We are enthusiastic about the opportunity to
build a long-term relationship with the City of Centerville based upon
trust and respect.

PROJECT SUMMARY
>>Redevelop several vacant and underutilized buildings in downtown Centerville
into retail, office and second story high-density housing in order to introduce
a new and different retail, office and affordable housing into the market area.
>>Extend utilities to serve the redevelopment site.
>>Create a streetscape and architectural style as part of this redevelopment for
this site that will be environmentally and pedestrian friendly and form a guide
for the redevelopment of the entire downtown.
>>Remove the existing vacant and marginal buildings, reconfigure and
concentrate them into a "critical mass" to ensure the synergy required to
keep the area viable and vital.
1. FUNDING REQUEST

LCDA grant and total requested amount.

b. Prioritization:
If fewer dollars would be available, priority funding would go towards extension of the
water main, construction of storm water management and, finally, construction of
streetsca pe.
c. The "But-For" test:
The redevelopment costs of "East Block 7" are extensive due to:
1. The high cost of acquiring marginalized and vacant properties.
2. The needed publiC investment in extensive improvements to Centerville Road.
3. Introduction of streetscape to the downtown for improved pedestrian use; and
4. Greatly reduced (40%) TIF revenue due to tax rate compression.
After applying tax increment proceeds generated from the redevelopment, grant funds
and other City funds, there is still insufficient funds to finance the anticipated public and
private redevelopment costs. Without this grant, it will be impossible for the City to
assist in completing a comprehensive redevelopment effort (there is a $ 450,000 gap that
the grant would assist in filling, on key, selected developments).
Jf9
2. PROJECT GOALS, SCOPE AND COMPONENTS

viable and vital.
b. Objectives:
1. Use land more efficiently, create a sense of place and achieve a compact, mixed-use
development that will provide a long-term community solution.
2. Redevelop vacant, blighted and under utilized sites.
3. Enhance the existing successful transit services by creating pedestrian friendly and
transit oriented streetscape standards.

CITY OF CENTERVILLE, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION IDENTIFYING THE NEED FOR
LIVABLE COMMUNITIES DEMONSTRATION ACCOUNT FUNDING AND
AUTHORIZING AN APPLICATION FOR GRANT FUNDS
WHEREAS the City of Centerville is a participant in the Uvable Communities Act's Housing
Incentives Program for 2005 as determined by the Metropolitan Council, and is therefore
eligible to apply for Livable Communities Demonstration Account funds; and
WHEREAS the City has identified a proposed project within the City that meets the
Demonstration Account's purposes and criteria and is consistent with and promotes the
purposes of the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act and the policies of the Metropolitan
Council's adopted metropolitan development guide; and
WHEREAS the City has the institutional, managerial and finandal capability to ensure
adequate project administration; and
WHEREAS the City certifies that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations as
stated in the grant agreement; and
WHEREAS the City agrees to act as legal sponsor for the project contained in the grant
application submitted on June 30, 2005; and
WHEREAS the City acknowledges Livable Communities Demonstration Account grants are
intended to fund projects or project components that can serve as models, examples or
prototypes for development or redevelopment projects elsewhere in the region, and
therefore represents that the proposed project or key components of the proposed project
can be replicated in other metropolitan-area communities; and
WHEREAS only a limited amount of grant funding is available through the Metropolitan
Council's Livable Communities Demonstration Account during each funding cycle and the
Metropolitan Council has determined it is appropriate to allocate those scarce grant funds
only to eligible projects that would not occur "but for" the availability of Demonstration
Account grant funding.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that, after appropriate examination and due
consideration, the governing body of the City:
1. Finds that it is in the best interests of the City's development goals and priorities for
the proposed project to occur at this particular time.
2. Finds that the project component(s) for which Livable Communities Demonstration
Account funding is sought:
(a) will not occur solely through private or other publiC investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future; and
/5"~
(b) will not occur within two years after a grant award unless Uvable Communities
Demonstration Account funding is made available for this project at this time;
3. Authorizes its Finance Director to submit on behalf of the City an application for
Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Demonstration Account grant funds for the
project component(s) identified in the application, and to execute such agreements as
may be necessary to implement the project on behalf of the City.
Adopted this 22nd day of June, 2005.

individuals employed or residing in Twin Cities metro area communities. The corporation shall
make an effort to identify and recruit as directors individuals representing a broad cross section

of qualified board candidates who themselves are low- and moderate-income Minnesota
residents or who work with organizations and enterprises serving low- and moderate-income
communities throughout the seven county Twin Cities metropolitan area, as described in
Section 2.02.
The initial board of directors shall be appointed by written action of the incorporators and shall
serve until the first annual meeting of the corporation.

designated as .Class A" director positions to be filled by the vote of the Class A members; two
of the elective director positions shall be designated as .Class S" director positions to be filled
by the vote of the Class S members; and, two of the elective director positions shall be
designated as .Class C" director positions to be filled by the vote of the Class C members. At

position is vacant or the term of the present occupant is expiring, the appropriate class of
members shall assemble to propose and consider nominees, who may but need not be
associated with members of the corporation, and to vote to fill each such designated director
position. The votes cast by members shall be weighted proportionally to the total contribution
and/or loan amount made to the corporation for working capital, plus the deposit made by such
member to the loan fund, as provided for in Section 2.01 of these Articles. Each $1,000
contributed, loaned or deposited by the member (fractions thereof shall be disregarded) shall be
equal to 1 vote. The director candidate receiving the greatest number of votes from each
respective class of members shall be deemed elected.
The remaining director positions, which have not been designated as Class A, Class B or Class
C director positions, shall be at-large positions filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
member-elected directors present at a meeting of the board.

elected at an annual meeting under these bylaws, up to one-third of those elected shall hold
office for a term of two (2) years and up to one-third of those elected shall hold office for a term
of one (1) year. Election of additional directors or of replacements for directors whose terms are

director shall hold office until a successor shall have been elected and shall qualify, or until the
earlier death, resignation or removal of such director.
Section 3.03 Board Meetinas: Place and Notice. Meetings of the board of directors may be
held from time to time at such place that the board of directors may designate. A conference
among directors by any means of communication through which the directors may
simultaneously hear each other during the conference constitutes a meeting of the board of
directors, if the number of directors participating in the conference would be sufficient to
constitute a quorum at a meeting, and if the same notice is given of the conference as would be
required for a meeting. The chair may call a board meeting by giving not less than five (5) nor
more than thirty (30) days notice to all directors of the date and time of the meeting. The notice
of a meeting need not state the purpose of the meeting. Notice shall be written and may be

waiver of notice by a director is effective whether given before, at or after the meeting and

Section 3.05 Quorum. A simple majority of the directors currently holding office is a quorum for
the transaction of business. If a quorum is present when a duly called meeting is convened, the
directors in attendance may continue to transact business until adjournment even though the

required for a quorum.
Section 3.06 Vacancies. Vacancies on the board of directors resulting from the death,
resignation or removal of a director may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
remaining directors. Each director elected under this section to fill a vacancy shall hold office

end of the term that he or she was elected to fill.
Section 3.07 Removal of Directors. Any director may be removed at any time, with or without
cause, by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the remaining directors. Absence of a director at
three consecutive board meetings without written or oral explanation to the chair of such
absences shall be deemed to be the resignation of such director.
Section 3.08 Manner of Actina. Unless otherwise required by law or these bylaws, the action of
a majority of directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the
board. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the board may be taken without a

The Next Generation of MRFs:
Improving Efficiency and Material
Quality (A)
Material recovery facilITies (MRF) are a
critical link in the recycling chain, and their
efficiency can make or break the econom-
ics of recycling, Substantial investments are
being made in technologies to more effi-
ciently process a recyclables stream that is
increasingly commingled, including optical
sorting, air-classification, complex screen-
ing, and centrifuge. New transportation
strategies such as hub and spoke are also
bringing down costs. See what's driving the
next generation of MRF technologies and
how they will affect your program.
Educating Your Community about
Recycling on a Shoe-String Budget
(B)
For many communities, funding for recy-
cling education is stretched thin, and
creativity and resourcefulness must fill in
the gap. This session will inspire you to do
more with less, and to leverage partner-
ships and the media to get your message
out Without spending lots of money.
Recovering Food Scraps:
Successful Community
Approaches (A)
Food waste can constitute up to fifteen
percent of the residential and commercial
waste stream. To push the envelope on
maximum recycling levels, these materi.
als will need to be targeted for recovery.
Attend this session and hear from cities on
the cutting-edge of food waste recovery in
North America.
How to Build Alliances with Other
Movements (I)
Recyclers can argue whether they work in
a movement or an industry, or both, but
either WErj, the work we do can have a pro- I
found impact on our natural environment,
the social fiber of our communities, and
our local and national economies. Come
discuss how we can increase our effective- (
ness as a movement by understanding and ;
aligning our efforts with the work of peers (,
in other fields, including environmental pro-
tection, economic development, and more. ')
Paying for Electronics Recycling:
What Will Work Best? (I)
Several competing models have emerged
for how state and national systems should
be designed and financed to recycle
the miJJions of electronic products that
Americans use each day. The critical ques- )
tions being debated is who should pay, \
and at what point in the product lifecycle? '
This session will bring together the primary (
)
players in this debate for an open and "
engaging discussion on the pros and cons (
of various models. (

Recycling on the Run: Helping
Americans Recycle Away from
Home (A)
Americans are busier than ever and cor)- ~
stantly on the move. We now consume <
large amounts of food and beverages away \'
from home, where finding a trash can is /
usually easier than finding a recycling bin. (
What can be done to capture both the <
attention of people on the go and the con- ~
tainers and other materials they are using? \
Come discuss the latest research and
ways to address this segment of the waste ~
stream. )

College Campus Recycling
Programs: Digging Below the
Surface (I)
College campuses are microcosms of the
greater community and harbor impressive
opportunities for waste recovery. College
recycling programs are leading the way
through modeling innovative waste reduc-
tion practices that are being replicated by
communities, businesses, government
and industry. Learn how college recycling
programs are addressing several challeng-
ing issues.

June 15,2005
Mr. Ronald Dailey
6908 Sumac Court
Centerville, MN 55038
Dear Mr. Dailey:
The City sent you a notice asking for your cooperation in bringing your property into
compliance with City ordinances related to weeds and debris storage. Subsequent to that
notice, you called to indicate that you would comply with the requirements, but needed a
few days of extra time.
Mr. Daily, we would like to be accommodating, but you have not made significant
progress in more than fifteen days. We must insist that you mow the entire yard and clean
the debris and yard waste from your property, including the drainage way. We are unable
to ignore this and must now insist on compliance.
On Wednesday, June 21, 2005, the City will be at the site to finish whatever work you
have not done and will bill you for the time and equipment. We are estimating six hours
of labor at $75 per hour to do the cleanup, and two hours of mower time at $75 per hour.
You will be billed for the actual time spent regardless of how much time it requires. If
the billing is not paid promptly, the City will collect the amounts due as a special

Bonestroo Project No. 616-03-130
Dear Paul:
/
Transmitted herewith is a letter dated June 8, 2005 from Maguire Iron, Inc. requesting a 30 day time
extension. This letter and accompanying daily reports was sent to us due to the large number of rain
days the project has experienced duringJhe painting phase of the work. As you are aware, they
have missed many days and continue to. miss more due to rain or the threat of rain and high
humidity. We do not feel. .that the recfuest is unrea~onable and that the rains, which are out of their
control, have definitely slowed down their attempts to paint the tower in a timely mamier. We
recommend that the City of CentervilIe grant Maguire Iron, Inc. the 30 day time extension to the
Contract as requested.
If you have any questions concerning this request, please feel free to call me at (651) 604-4881 or

Re: Centerville, MN-Elevated Water Storage Tank
Dear Mr. Grinstead:
As you are aware, we have been experiencing an abnormal amount of rain
delays on the tank painting portion of this project. Arndt Enterprises, Inc., our
painting subcontractor on this project, has provided us with their daily reports
from the start of the project to May 21st, 2005 and as of May 21 st they had
already experienced approximately 14 rain days. They will be forwarding
additional daily reports when they receive them in their office as they have
experienced additional rain delays since May 21st. At this time, we are
respectfully requesting a 30 day time extension on this project as a result of the
weather delays that we have experienced that were out of our control in order to
finish the tank painting and tank electrical items. We would greatly appreciate
this extension, and we look forward to completing this project for you and the City
of Centerville in a timely manner.
Once again, Maguire Iron, Inc. truly appreciates the opportunity to work with you
and the City of Centerville on this new water tower project. Please do not
hesitate to call us with any questions or comments that you may have.
Please feel free to contact me at your convenience at (605) 334-9749 with any
questions or if you require any additional information.

PROJECT SUMMARY
~ Redevelop several vacant and underutilized buildings in downtown Centerville
into retail, office and second story high-density housing in order to introduce
a new and different retail, office and affordable housing into the market area.
~ Extend utilities to serve the redevelopment site.
~Create a streetscape and architectural style as part of this redevelopment for
this site that will be environmentally and pedestrian friendly and form a guide
for the redevelopment of the entire downtown.
~ Remove the existing vacant and marginal buildings, reconfigure and
concentrate them into a "critical mass" to ensure the synergy required to
keep the area viable and vital.
1. FUNDING REQUEST

LCDA grant and total requested amount.

b. Prioritization:
If fewer dollars would be available, priority funding would go towards extension of the
water main, construction of storm water management and, finally, construction of
streetscape.
c. The "But-For" test:
The redevelopment costs of "East Biock 7" are extensive due to:
1. The high cost of acquiring marginalized and vacant properties.
2. The needed public investment in extensive improvements to Centerville Road.
3. Introduction of streetscape to the downtown for improved pedestrian use; and
4. Greatly reduced (40%) TIF revenue due to tax rate compression.
After applying tax increment proceeds generated from the redevelopment, grant funds
and other City funds, there is still insufficient funds to finance the anticipated public and
private redevelopment costs. Without this grant, it will be impossible for the City to
assist In completing a comprehensive redevelopment effort (there is a $ 300,000 gap that
the grant would assist in filling, on key, selected developments).
2. PROJECT GOALS, SCOPE AND COMPONENTS
a. Goals:
1. Create a model for redeveloping aging and obsolete downtown retail centers.
2. Introduce and foster the development of a new building market in the area to
provide for economic integration and diversification.
3. Increases overall site access through new streetscape.
4. Create a significant retail/office/housing amenity for the Centerville community.
5. Redevelop, reconfigure and concentrate the area's retail/office/housing base into a
sustainable, compact "critical mass" to ensure the synergy required to keep the area
viable and vital.
b. Objectives:
1. Use land more efficiently, create a sense of place and achieve a compact, mixed-use
development that will provide a long-term community solution.
2. Redevelop vacant, blighted and under utilized sites.
3. Enhance the existing successful transit services by creating pedestrian friendly and
transit oriented streetscape standards.
4. Integrated facilities, which enable and/or enhance pedestrian circulation in order to
simplify access to local service and to lend and atmosphere of activity to downtown
Centerville.
C. Current land use:
The redevelopment site is occupied by one vacant duplex and two substandard block
structures.
d. Proposed land use c:hanges:
The proposed use to be constructed in place of the demolished structures are a mix of
retail, office and housing occupying approximately 32,000 square feet.
e. Existing housing:
Currently there is a vacant duplex on part of the proposed redevelopment site.

CITY OF CENTERVILLE, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION IDENTIFYING THE NEED FOR
LIVABLE COMMUNITIES DEMONSTRATION ACCOUNT FUNDING AND
AUTHORIZING AN APPLICATION FOR GRANT FUNDS
WHEREAS the City of Centerville is a participant in the Livable Communities Act's Housing
Incentives Program for 2005 as determined by the Metropolitan Council, and is therefore
eiigible to apply for Livable Communities Demonstration Account funds; and
WHEREAS the City has identified a proposed project within the City that meets the
Demonstration Account's purposes and criteria and is consistent with and promotes the
purposes of the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act and the policies of the Metropolitan
Council's adopted metropolitan development guide; and
WHEREAS the City has the institutional, managerial and financial capability to ensure
adequate project administration; and
WHEREAS the City certifies that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations as
stated in the grant agreement; and
WHEREAS the City agrees to act as legal sponsor for the project contained in the grant
application submitted on June 30, 2005; and
WHEREAS the City acknowledges Livable Communities Demonstration Account grants are
intended to fund projects or project components that can serve as models, examples or
prototypes for deveiopment or redevelopment projects elsewhere in the region, and
therefore represents that the proposed project or key components of the proposed project
can be replicated in other metropolitan-area communities; and
WHEREAS only a limited amount of grant funding is available through the Metropolitan
Councii's Livable Communities Demonstration Account during each funding cycle and the
Metropolitan Council has determined it is appropriate to allocate those scarce grant funds
only to eligibie projects that would not occur "but for" the availability of Demonstration
Account grant funding.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that, after appropriate examination and due
consideration, the governing body of the City:
1. Finds that it is in the best interests of the City's development goals and priorities for
the proposed project to occur at this particular time.
2. Finds that the project component(s) for which Livable Communities Demonstration
Account funding is sought:
(a) will not occur solely through private or other publiC investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future; and
(b) will not occur within two years after a grant award unless Livable Communities
Demonstration Account funding is made available for this project at this time.
3. Authorizes its Finance Director to submit on behalf of the City an application for
Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Demonstration Account grant funds for the
project component(s) identified in the application, and to execute such agreements as
may be necessary to implement the project on behalf of the City.
