PRESENT: Chair Kathy Welk Linda Broussard- Vickers John Buckbee ABSENT: Tina Vermeulen Al LaMotte STAFF: Jim March, Administrator Ry-Chel Gaustad, City Clerk Paul Palzer, Public Works Director Official CALL TO ORDER Chair Kathy Welk called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING (S) Joyce Stevens - Lot Split Ms. Joyce Stevens -Green (7007 20th Avenue) briefed the Commission on the reason for a lot split request. Ms. Green explained a business owner voiced an interest in purchasing the pole style building located on her property. The business owner planned to house equipment in the pole building. Furthermore, the business owner is aware the pole building is located within the floodplain. In addition, the business owner planned to purchase the pole building and house. However, the business owner will not be in a financial position until a later,date. Ms. Broussard- Vickers questioned the property zoning classification. Mr. March noted the property is in B1 Commercial. Mr. March added, Ordinance #33. FLOOD P LA IN MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE. SECTION 7.0 SUBDIVISIONS states, "No land shah be subdivided which is held unsuitable by City Council £or r-. • 4f •••• • .1■• - • . •._. W. . - _.f •_ -w.•- treatment facilities. All lost within the flood plain districts shah contain a buildingsite at or above the Regulatory Flood 1 Protection Elev ation All subdivisions shall have water and sP_ w ,age disposal f acil ;ties that comply with the_provis;ons of this ordinance and have road access both to the subdivision and to the individual building sites no lower tha one foot below the R -. 1. .r 1... Pr. - '.n ley. 1. ." Mr. Palzer added, a property owner can fill the flood plain, but not in the floodway. In addition, each proposed property must have a buildable site, in the case reconstruction is needed. If the current building is 51% destroyed, the proposed lot must have an area outside of the flood way to build another building. The city cannot issue a building permit to reconstruct the existing building if it is destroyed by 51% or more. Chair Welk confirmed the existing building is in the flood way. Public Hearing closed at 7:20 p.m. Mr. Palzer noted city ordinances require new structures be two feet above flood plain elevations. Mr. March said the legal council noted the subdivision can be approved with an approved variance. Mr. Buckbee questioned Staff if the business owner considered purchasing parcel "A" with parcel "B." Ms. Green replied selling the property as a whole is too financially restricting for the proposed business owner at this time. Gerald Rehbein - MUSA Swap Mr. March gave a brief overview of the different MUSA dedicated phases and he noted the request to relocate MUSA from the property on the north east corner of the city to the property located south of Main Street and west of 20th Avenue. Also, Mr. March updated the Commission on the City's Comprehensive Plan and its MUSA designation areas. Mr. March added, the proposed MUSA Swap would afford the city and property owner to develop the strip of land along 20th Avenue. Also, the proposed property is not slated for MUSA until year 2001. Chair Welk inquired about comments from the Metropolitan Council. Mr. March commented the best way to address the MUSA shortage on 20th Avenue is to switch the MUSA properties. Councilmember Helmbrecht questioned Mr. March about requesting a Comprehensive Plan amendment from the Metropolitan Council. Mr. March replied the City is not required to file a formal Comprehensive Plan Amendment. However, the City will need to inform the Council that a "House Keeping Amendment" will need to 2 be completed. Chair Welk questioned the audience for comments in regard to the MUSA request. The Planning Commission heard no comment from the audience. Public Hearing closed at 7 :24 p.m. Bill Bisek - Variance Mr. Bill Bisek (7098 Centerville Road) presented a plan to expand Kelly's Korner on the northeast corner of the building. Mr. Bisek noted the expansion will create an ADA entrance into the bar area, provide a larger kitchen and dinning area. Mr. March commented several variances have been issued in the downtown area. This appears to be because of non - conformance issues. Mr. March added, the addition will not be further north than the existing north wall. Ms. Brossard - Vickers questioned setting precedence. Mr. Palzer commented variances can be issued to bring a building to a less non - conforming building. Mr. Buckbee questioned Staff if the existing building was destroyed and then rebuilt would the building be within the required set backs. Mr. Palzer noted the County requires a 50' building set back from the center of County Road 14. The Planning Commission suggested waiting until the Design Team reports its findings to the City, prior to approval. Mr. March commented the Design Team will make recommendations to the City on linking trailways, providing downtown access. Chair Welk questioned Staff as to the Design Teams time line to report back to the City. Mr. March commented the Design Team should report back its findings by mid- September. Mr. Buckbee questioned Staff about the County's variance process. Mr. March said Anoka County has plans to widen Main Street. However, it may be in the City's best interest to develop its own way prior to that time. Also, Mr. March understood the City has planting power. Mr. Bisek noted zoning ordinance #4 needed to be changed to address the downtown area because of the unique layout and the age of the buildings. Mr. Buckbee commented the City needs to change the ordinances instead of the City granting variances. 3 Public Hearing closed at 7:42 p.m. Amendment to Ordinance 44A Chair Welk read aloud the public notice, the current ordinance and the proposed amended ordinance. Mr. March clarified the reason behind the ordinance amendment which was to eliminate pole buildings and address wood frame buildings. Essentially, one building constructed of brick may be worth $800,000 whereas, a building next to it may be constructed with wood frame material and worth $200,000. The taxing capacity is different due to the site and value of the building. Public Hearing closed at 7:46 p.m. APPEARANCES Roger Kolsted - Rezone and Vacate Property South of Main St. Mr. Kolsted reiterated he had met with the Planning Commission in March and his request was denied. Currently, Mr. Kolsted is requesting the Planning Commission to reconsider a bank at Main Street and Dupre Road. Furthermore, changes have been implemented to address the citizens' and the Commissions comments from the last hearing. Foremost, a sidewalk can be constructed from Dupre Road west to Progress Road, then north to Main Street. The sidewalk would address school children walking. Mr. Kolsted commented the property owners are willing to close on the land and commence building in the spring of 1999. Therefore, he requested the Planning Commission table the issue instead of denying the request. Chair Welk addressed traffic exiting onto Dupre Road. Mr. Buckbee noted the property is currently zoned R2 (Single Family Residential) and several new homes have been constructed on the adjacent property. Mr. March reiterated the city's position on spot zoning and the City's requirement to act on rezoning requests. Furthermore, Mr. March reported the city is in receipt of a 60-day waiver form. Thus, no action is required from the Planning Commission. Mr. Jake Shoepe (7084 Dupre Road) stated he was opposed to the bank construction on the corner to the Eagle Pass Development. Mr. Shoepe also had concerns regarding the safety of school children that walk to the elementary school. Chair Welk noted receipt of a letter drafted by the Hammerick family. (Exhibit A) 4 • Ms. Roberta Wirth (7065 Eagle Trail) shared a similar situation which occurred in the City of Mahtomedi, and she commented the homeowners are very unhappy with the City's rezoning decision. In addition, the Mahtomedi bank has been held -up for ransom which subjects the neighborhood to violence. Mr. Marcel Rivard (7022 Progress Road) voiced concern his property may become landlocked if the Clearwater Road is vacated. Mr. Kolsted clarified the vacation of road is from Main Street to Sorel Street. Thus, the property in questioned would not be landlocked. Ms. Peggy Anderson (7082 Progress Road) questioned the Developer who would pay for the sidewalk and its maintenance. Chair Welk noted the city needs to acquire an easement prior to the sidewalk installation. Ms. Linda Paulson (1764 Main Street) commented the bank will not create more traffic than the tree farm generated. Ms. Paulson added, children should not be playing around Main Street area. Mr. Rick Paulson (1764 Main Street) recalled when deer roamed the area. Now, there are townhomes and diesel trucks running. In' addition, there is a chiropractic office on Main Street in a residential district, a bank is better for tax purposes. Mr. Buckbee emphasized the City's need to wait on acting until the whole Main Street plan is considered. Ms. Brossard - Vickers suggested waiting until the city receives a report back from the design team, thus affording the city the opportunity to work with all the properties along Main Street. Also, unfortunately, neighborhood opposition does not determine approval or denial if a property is rezoned. Ms. Roberta Wirth (7065 Eagle Trail) stated the zoning change will have an impact on the safety and welfare of all parties, which needs to be taken into consideration, as per state law. And if not, what criterion needs to be met for rezoning. Mr. March replied the city has "Police authority" which gives them zoning rights. Mr. Buckbee commented Mr. Kolsted has presented an interesting concept. However, the idea does not address spot zoning. Mr. Buckbee recommended waiting until the design team brings their ideas back to the city. 5 Mr. Bisek suggested the Planning Commission not place too much weight on the design team. Ms. Brossard- Vickers replied Mr. Kolsted's intent is to pursue the purchase of the property and the construction of the building in the spring of 1999. Therefore, it may be in the city's best interest to wait. Mr. Doug Porter (7046 Eagle Trail) observed south of Main Street is primarily residential and the main corridor of property is a blend of businesses and homes. Mr. Porter suggested the city cater to residential or commercial for future developments. Mr. Porter added, he is opposed to the construction of the bank and stressed the need for children's safety in and around the bank. Chair Welk commented it is difficult to consider all options at this time. It is the City's intentions to bring both residential and business together in harmony. Mr Buckbee moved and it was seconded to recommend to the Council not to approve the rezone and vacation of property request for reasons of rezoning_and to wait for the downtown revitalization committee report Motion carried unanimously Ms. Brossard- Vickers moved and it was seconded to recess for five (5) minutes. Motion carried unanimously. John Snyder - Site Plan for Terminal Transport Mr. March gave an overview of the proposed business. The facility located at the south east intersection of 20th Avenue and Ceder Street would be constructed to house offices for the payroll business function and for a truck maintenance department. Mr. March foresaw concerns with County Road 54 access. Mr. Buckbee noted it would be nice for the City to attempt to protect the residential properties south of Ceder Street. Clearwater Meadows Industrial Park Mr. Rehbein briefed the Planning Commission on a proposed layout plan for Clearwater Meadows outlot and he discussed businesses that are interested in building on the proposed property. Ms. Brossard - Vickers questioned the properties zoning. Mr. March indicated the property is identified as B1 Commercial. The Commission discussed light industrial lot requirements of one acre with a minimal lot width of 125' and the set back requirements along County State Aid Road 54. 6 Mr. Buckbee explained the proposed layout meets the minimal lot size. However, the rezone is not conducive to the comprehensive plan. Mr. Palzer suggested the City consider adjusting the ordinances to allow light industrial and commercial in the same category. The Commission discussed identifying commercial, industrial and light industrial districts and its differences. Mr. Rehbein noted the suggestions and commented updates will be implemented and he will reproach the Commission at a later date. Willow Glen Business Park (WGBP) Preliminary Plat Mr. March reported on the WGBP and new developments. Mr. March reiterated the October Commission meeting minutes where the WGBP sketch plan was addressed. Mr. March also distributed a letter from the City Engineer and another from Anoka County Highway Department. Mr. Rehbein pointed out a discrepancy in the right -of -way (ROW) between Anoka County Highway Department and himself. Mr. Rehbein felt Anoka County is requesting too much front footage for the ROW. Mr. March commented the Commission moved to recommend the developer address access onto County Road 14 (Main Street). Ms. Brossard- Vickers questioned future access to outlot A. Mr. Rehbein indicated County Road 21 north is proposed and will service outlot A. Chair Welk recommended implementing one access onto County Road 14 and one access onto County Road 21. Mr. Rehbein stated the west access will be an exclusively right turn entrance only and another in and out access on Main Street and another on 20th Avenue. Action on Lot Split Request Ms. Brossard - Vickers confirmed the city ordinance and the state laws restrict lot splits in the floodplain /floodway. Mr. Palzer read aloud uniform building code 7.0 and 7.1. In summary, a property cannot be subdivided in the floodplain unless a buildable site is located on both of the proposed properties. In addition, the buildable area must be 2' above floodplain elevation. Mr. Palzer noted a building can be constructed in the floodplain. However, the building regulations are restrictive and can be costly. Ms. Brossard- Vickers confirmed the prospective owner knows the property.is in the floodplain and cannot be reconstructed if 51% or more of the building is destroyed. 7 Mr. Jack Green. (7007 20th Avenue) stated denying this request • places the property owner in an unusual position to pay taxes on property that is restricted from utilizing the property. Ms. Brossard - Vickers moved and it was seconded to table the lot split in r orde to r gathe more infrm oation and reconsi to der the request. Motion carried unanimously, Action on the MUSA Swap Mr. Buckbee moved to approve the MUSA swap reques and to • • recommend to the City Council. Chair Welk second the motion. Lotion carried unanimously. Action on Variance Request Kelly's Korner (7098 Centerville Road) Ms. Brossard- Vickers understood the nonconformity ADA concern, but noted the Commission has delayed other projects in anticipation of the design team's findings and questioned Staff if the Commission should wait to act on the variance request. Mr. Palzer commented on federal mandates allow buildings to become less nonconforming. Thus, suggesting the variance request is granted for an ADA ramp. • • Ms. Brossard- Vickers moved to recommend approval of the variance ruest as requested due to the current ADA non- conformance. Also, recommended the trash containers are enclosed. Motion carried unanimously. . Ordinance 44 A Chair Welk moved and it was seconded to table ordinance 44A until the June Commission meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Discharge of Firearms Mr. Buckbee moved and it was seconded to table ordinance #5 until the June Commission meeting. Motion carried unanimously.

PRESENT: Chairperson Kathy Welk Commission Members: Linda Broussard - Vickers John Buckbee ABSENT: Commission Member Al LaMotte STAFF: Jim March, City Administrator Ry -Chel Gaustad, City Clerk Paul Palzer, Building Official/Public Works Director David Nyberg, City Engineer Phil Bergem, P.E. Engineer ******************************* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** Roll Call Chair Welk called the June 2, 1998 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. PUBLIC HEARINGS Lessard Rezone R Mr. Willy Lessard (21080 Floral Bay, Forest Lake, Minnesota) addressed the Commission and requested the property at 7005 20th Avenue be rezoned from residential to commercial. Mr. Lessard explained in the past, the property was zoned and taxed commercially. However, recently the City changed the zoning from commercial to residential. Unfortunately, Mr. Lessard was unaware of the zoning change, therefore, he is requesting the property be rezoned back to commercial. Mr. Lessard further explained his intent is to focus on attracting good businesses in the commercial area. hvIr. Ronald Lenz (7008 Brian Drive) stated, he and his family moved from St. Paul to Centerville for the peace and quite. Mr. Lenz read aloud a poem. In summary, the natural woods and its habitat are beautiful, so please don't forget about the little chipmunks and birds when considering to develop this property. 1 Mr. Lessard said he appreciated the citizens' interest in nature and noted the property was classified commercial prior the Clearwater Meadows Development and the property will be • developed. Mr. Michael Hunter (1917 Center Street) stated he has an investment to protect. The value of his property will decrease if commercial businesses are built behind his home. Ms. Maureen Wilson (7094 Brian Drive) stressed the through street connecting Brian Drive to 20th Avenue will increase traffic and the possibility of children getting hit by a vehicle. Mr. Lessard proposed to install a collector street to have the businesses access 20th Avenue and then eliminate a through road to 20th Avenue. Mr. Donald Moe (New resident on Brian Court) shared him and his family moved two blocks to stay in Centerville. However, had the property behind his lot been zoned commercially, he would not have purchase the lot. In addition, he supported single family homes for the safety and welfare of the community. Also, the property value will be consistent and the area will be more esthetically pleasing to have his property abut residential homes rather than commercial businesses. Ms. Darlene Kurshener (7005 Brian Drive) commented had she knew this property may be rezoned commercial, she would not have purchased her house. Mr. Tim Pelican (1889 Center Street) commented, he and his family moved to Centerville two weeks ago to raise their children in a good community away from commercial businesses. Furthermore, he is opposed to the rezoning request and he believes the streets would be safer without commercial businesses located in the proposed area. Mr. Brad Hanggi (7003 Brian Drive ) stated the existing houses on Brian Drive and Brian Court account for approximately twenty children and safety should be a city concern. Mr. Paul Gordy (6936 Ivy Court) moved to the city seven years ago, because of the peace and quite. Although, Mr. Lessard may lose money, if the property is not rezoned to commercial, however, the current residents will lose money. Mr. David Luke (7026 Brain Court) noted that recently he and his family moved from Peltier Lake Drive to Clearwater Meadows for the natural surroundings. Now, he may be looking out his back window at a commercial district. In addition, why should the residents' pay for the City's lack of planning. Mr. Brain Hoffman (1949 Center Street) said, whether it is commercial or residential the City should be aware that all the water from the twenty -acre parcel drains into the small pond behind lot 21, of Center Oaks development and it should be addressed. 2 Mr. Lessard comment there is an engineering study in progress to address drainage. Mr. Lessard added, the bulk of the City's tax burden is placed on businesses, therefore, the commercial district is a benefit to the City. Furthermore, Mr. Lessard would not propose anything that would be detrimental to the surrounding properties. The new businesses would be well designed with good commercial buildings to blend with the residential area. Mr. Jim March (7147 Brian Way) addressed several concerns that arose. Mr. March stressed any property owner can make a request to the city and the request must be addressed by the City. Therefore, the city is not endorsing the rezone request. Also, the City publishes public hearings and notifies all residents within 350' of the property in question. Therefore, some residents may not have been notified because their property is too far a distance from the proposed property. The City is governed by the people, and comments and concerns are taken into consideration. However, the City will do what is best for the City has a whole. Finally, the developments of Clearwater Meadows and Eagle Pass were designed by the City to connect Eagle Trail and Brain Drive. Mr. Buckbee questioned Staff if the last comprehensive plan indicated the twenty -acre parcel was zoned commercial. Chair Welk noted receipt of three letters received from the Kurshener family (7005 Brian Drive), Carter family (6944 Ivy Court), Johnson family (7017 Brian Drive), and the Lenz family (7008 Brian Drive) (Please see attached). Mr. Buckbee moved to adjourn this section of the public hearing at 7:45 p m Ms Broussard - Vickers seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously, Terminal Transport - Special Use Permit Mr, Brent Coatney and Mr. John Snyder gave a presentation on Terminal Transports concept and landscaping plan. The building will be approximately 14,000 square feet and will sit on 6.75 acres. Terminal Transport Developer plans are to break ground for the new building on June 15, and open for business in September of 1998. Mr. March clearly stated the certificate of occupancy will not be issued until the utilities are available and operational. Ms. Norma Nadeau (6644 20th Avenue, Lino Lakes) questioned the business owners if their entrance will be from 20th Avenue or Cedar Street. Mr. Snyder confirmed the business will have access onto 20th Avenue, Mr. March reported the property is industrially zoned and the lot size is similar to Northern Forest Product's lot size. Mr. Brian Hanson (1950 Center Street) said, the semi traffic has increased on 20th Avenue which 3 has caused an increase in noise and pot holes. Mr. Coatney explained the business will be used for central dispatch and a semi truck maintenance service center. Moreover, the semi truck traffic will consist of one to ten trucks daily, and central dispatch hours will be from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Mr. Michael Hunter (1917 Center Street) stated it appears the City of Centerville is becoming a business community and then the City will not be a quite community. Mr. Pete Nadeau (6644 20th Avenue, Lino Lakes) suggested the semi truck traffic be directed east on Ceder Street to eliminate 20th Avenue traffic. Mr. Buckbee suggested the developer screen the businesses from the residential district along Cedar Street in Lino Lakes. Mr. Joe Ulrich (7055 Cottonwood Court) commented additional office/ warehouse space will be good for the community tax base. Mr Buckbee moved to close the Ternunal Transport Special Use Permit public hearing Ms Broussard- Vickers seconded the motion Motion carried unanimo Continuation of Ordinance #44A - Building Construction Chair Welk read aloud ordinance #44A - building construction and its proposed amendments. Ms. Broussard - Vickers moved to close the Ordinance #44A - Buildine Construction publi hearing. Mr. Buckbee seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Continuation of Joyce Stevens (Greene) Lot Split Request Ms Broussard - Vickers moved to close the Joyce Stevens (Greene) lot s lit public hearing. Mr Buckbee seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. APPEARANCES Mr. John Snyder Site Plan for Terminal Transport Mr. Snyder approached the Planning Commission and requested approval of the Terminal Transport site plan. Mr. March suggested revising the special use permit (sup) and require a shield between Terminal Transport and the Cedar Street residences: • Ms. Broussard- Vickers confirmed the building size and setbacks are in compliance with the city code. Mr. Phil Bergum addressed right -of -way (ROW) concerns referred to in a letter dated June 2, 1998. The engineering firm recommended implementing a 33' ROW based on the center line. Likewise, Mr. Bergum suggested the Commission consider permitting the parking lot encroach on the drainage easement to assist in drainage. 4 Chair Welk questioned the engineering staff in regards to the future expansion along the east side of the property. Mr. Bergum noted the proposed parking lot allows for extra water storage. Mr. March reported a pond is to be constructed north of the site. Mr. Nyberg commented the pond plans are being prepared, however, Mr. Rehbein will propose a comprehensive drainage plan for the 40 -acre industrial property. Mr. Buckbee questioned the engineers if the 40 -acre grading plan concept is conducive to Terminal Transports grading plans, Mr. Snyder replied Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) approved Terminal Transports grading plans. Ms. Brossard - Vickers confirmed with Staff the sup is compatible with contiguous properties, and that 20th Avenue is able to handle the increased semi truck traffic. In the like manner, Ms. Brossard- Vickers inquired about Anoka County's comments in regard to 20th Avenue access. Mr. March stated 20th Avenue is maintained by Anoka County. Also, Anoka County requested entrances accessing onto 20th Avenue are not within 200' of the intersection of 20th Avenue and Cedar Street. The proposed entrance complies with Anoka County Highway Departments requirements. Mr. March reiterated the sup addresses the fact that no utilities are at the property and no operation will be permitted until utilities are available to the property. Mr. Nadeau hoped the City will restrict noise from the trucks and maintenance shop. Mr. March explained the City has a noise ordinance. Ms Brossard - Vickers moved to grant th sup continge u t he dr con be addressed and no operat take place at the site until utilities are available Also that there i n o access fr om this building to Cedar Street in the future_ and the Commission approves the site ela as submitted, contingent unon the City Engineer's approval Mr Buckbee seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimousl Dick Travis - Sketch Plan for Moore Properties (7305 &735$ 20th Avenue North) Mr. Dick Travis (7264 Twin Lakes) briefed the Commission on a proposed sketch plan with six lots, and one 10 -acre outlot, on a 20 -acre parcel and he requested the Commissions consideration for sketch plan approval. Mr. Travis planned to independently finance the utility improvements. Incidentally, a trail easement is proposed to access the park and additional park fees will be in lieu of park land. Mr. March reported due to an abandoned house east of the proposed development, the sketch plan is not in compliance with city ordinances. The ordinance states a septic system is allowed on a minimal 10 -acre parcel, The proposed development will cause too many structures on the south 20 -acre parcel. Mr. Travis replied the existing house will either be demolished or relocated. Chair Welk confirmed the property is within the MUSA. Mr. March said it is unlikely the utility line will serve the east property because of the wetlands. Mr. Nyberg explained that a shallow, 10" line is located south east on 20th Avenue. Moreover, the utility connections will have to be 5 further investigated. Chair Welk confirmed the proposed lots conform with the R5 zoning, 17,000 square feet requirements. Ms. Brossard- Vickers suggested the Travis family return with a more defined plan and the further suggested they request to rezone the property from RI to R5. Mr. March noted the City will work with the Travis family to develop the developer's agreement, streets, curb, gutters and utility plans and specifications. Mr. Buckbee moved to recommend to the Council the property be developed as an R5 zoning district. Ms. Brossard- Vickers seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Hu nik Hime - ketch PI for 'r • North of Main tre t Mr. Paul Husnik (2640 Westergreen, White Bear Lake) presented a sketch plan for the property on the north east corner of Main Street and Peterson Trail. The proposed building will consist of a couple retail units with rear delivery truck access. Mr. Husnik hoped the building will be constructed and ready for occupancy fall of 1998. Ms. Broussard - Vickers confirmed the first of two driveways is located 90' from County Road 14. Mr. March noted the building is proposed to be of brick construction and encroaches 10' within the drainage easement. Ms. Broussard- Vickers said the building meets with the B1 (commercial) requirements. However, four thousand square feet buildings are identified within the light industrial zoning district. Therefore, Mr. Husnik may need to redesign the building or request a variance for the building square footage. Mr. Nyberg explained the building is proposed to encroach on the drainage easement. However, there may be room on the east side of the property to create a deep swale so the drainage would not be hindered. r• Wat o - St rfir• G a- is scant trite t o t of .' eTr ckin Mr. Watson (Senior Project Manager) addressed the Planning Commission and gave an overview of the proposed building construction and the site plan for a gymnastics facility. The 15,000 sq. ft. gymnasium is proposed to be located on Clearwater Meadows outlot C. The facility will be used as a modified day care, dance studio and gymnastic training location. The owners plan to hold summer camp and Special Olympics at the proposed site. Mr. Buckbee questioned the project manager as to the height of the building. Mr. Watson said the height is proposed at 21'. Mr. March noted the ordinance allows a maximum of 35'. Ms. Broussard - Vickers questioned the engineer about the drainage concept. Mr. Nyberg explained the drainage from the rear parking lot will drain into the creek. In addition, Mr. Nyberg suggested extending the berm to buffer the residents from the commercial property. Ms. Tina Riehle (7044 Cottonwood Court) felt concerned about the drainage because water 6 collects on the property and then the overflow drains onto her property. Ms. Pain Neulkenes (7054 Cottonwood Court) asked what guarantees do the property owners have that in the future the gymnasium will not be converted into an industrial building. The Commission replied there are no guarantees. Mr. Watson stressed a desire to obtain a building permit to ensure the business will be in operation by September 1998. Mr Buckbee move t r to the Council that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend Starfire Gyrnnastics be permitted within the uses of that distri ct and t they ma proceed without a public hearing for a s ecial use permit. Motion seconded by Ms. Broussard - Vickers Motion carried unanimo Ms. Broussard- Vickers moved to recommend the preliminary sketch plan is approved with special attention to landscaping (to mitigat the west side of t he properly) and s nested the engineer work with the drainage issue Motion seconded by Mr Buckb Motion carried unanimously Action o n Lessard Rezone Request The Commission discussed the Lessard rezone request. Mr. Buckbee commented traffic will increase with more homes and suggested leaving the property zoned, as is, commercial and residential. Mr. Lessard explained a blend of doctor offices, dentist offices' and/or business offices will make a nice transition between the residential and commercial zones. Mr. Buckbee suggested Mr. Lessard return to the Commission with an idea of how he would like the property to develop. Ms. Broussard- Vickers commented she would like to research the legal guidelines and explore why and how the property was and is zoned. Mr. Lessard stated he will sign a 60 -day rezone waiver form. Mr. Nyberg commented Eagle Pass is a PUD (Planned Unit Development) and suggested Lake Area Utilities land be developed as a PUD. Furthermore, the City's intention is to connect Eagle Trail to Brain Drive. Mr. Buckbee moved to table the Lessard rezone request until the July 7 1998 Plannin Commission mee ing and to direct staff to r no ify the surro ing property ow ners the issues will be revisited. Motion ,seconded by Ms. Broussard- Vickers, Motion carried unanimously. Actio of Ste (Greene' L relit Reques Mr. March briefed the Commission on flood plain regulations pertaining to Stevens lot split request. Mr. March discussed City ordinance 433 - Flood Plain; in summary, a structure cannot be built within the flood way. Mr. Palzer reported the state law states, in order to approve a lot split within the flood way the site must provide a building site outside of the flood way. Mr. March said the proposed lot will not have an area for constructing a building outside of the flood way. In any case, the city has authority to grant a variance to its own ordinance, but not to state 7 laws. However, the property owner can apply for an amendment to FEMA for a map amendment.

He also planned to independently finance the utilities and to pay park funds in place of park dedicated property. Ms. Peterson noted the city plans to install utilities along the southeast property boundaries and he suggested the developer provide a 20 -foot wide utility easement along the sanitary sewer, east of the plat. A 20 -foot easement should be provided for the entire length of the easement, not a 10- foot easement. The easement will allow the city to maintenance and repair the lines. He also commented a tree may need to be removed to install the proposed utilities. Mr. Joe Holiday (1295 Mound Trail) noted the willow tree is located on his property and felt no concern to remove the tree. Ms. Cathy Holiday (1295 Mound Trail) voiced concern pertaining to the developer ensuring the 1 proper drainage. Also, the Holiday property is adjacent to Lot 1, of the proposed development. Mr. Buechler commented the drainage has been addressed and will not affect the property at 1295 Mound Trail. Mr. Peterson stressed the bad soils in the area and suggested soil borings on each lot and prior to building permit approval. Ms. Broussard- Vickers noted a potential concern with draining from lot 5 onto lot 4, and she noted item #5 of the Public Works Directors/Building Officials comments. #5. "The proposed drainage swale in the roadway ditch doesn't meet with the City's requirements of a 1% minimum grade." Mr. Peterson suggested a drainage swale between lot 5 and west of the existing lots. Mr. Rod Holhizer (7193Mound Trail) questioned the Developer about the slope between lot 5 and his lot and hoped that no future drainage problems would occur. Mr. Lloyd Drilling (7185 Mound Trail) addressed and questioned the Commission in regards to the Mound Trail and its condition, who owns and maintains the road and who is responsible for road repair. Furthermore, he confirmed an RCWD permit is required and that a Saint Paul Utilities (City of St. Paul) permit is not required. Mr. Holhizer had a point of information considering this house is located in the City of Lino Lakes, his mail box is in the City of Centerville and his mailing address is in the City of Hugo - will the cities consider redesigning the corporate boundaries or annexing the last two lots on Mound Trail.

Usually, additional language is intended to be more restrictive than the lack of words. The Commission discussed amending the ordinance to reduce rear yard accessory structures from 10 percent to 8 percent and specifically address corner Tots. The Commission requested Staff investigate the items below and report to the Commission. * Shed permits that are added onto basement permits * The Building Inspectors interpretation of the ordinance & section in question, * Elevation requirements and changes for new structures. * Research to see if another similar permit has been issued and if one is pending, the Commission makes strong recommendation not to issue another similar permit until this issue is resolved.

This item has been referred to the Planning Commission by the City Council. The main issue is that the current Ordinance does not eliminate the discharge of firearms (shotguns) that emit multiple projectiles within the corporate limits. Duck hunters, trap- shooters, etc. are not banned from discharging their firearms as long as they are shooting multiple projectiles. This item needs to be amended in the current Ordinance. Enclosed in your packet is a copy of the Weapons Ordinance that was adopted this year by the City of Circle Pines. The Circle Pines Ordinance also defines other weapons of less than mass destruction. I would recommend adopting the same Ordinance to have consistency within the Cities for the enforcement by the police department. 1 ORDINANCE NUMBER 5 AN ORDINANCE TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE PUBLIC'S SAFETY BY REGULATING THE DISCHARGE OF FIRE ARMS WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF CENTERVILLE AND PROVIDING A PENALTY FOR VIOLATION THEREOF.
