Ry -Chel:
I am writing to express my interest in the position on the Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission.
I moved to Centerville from Virginia Beach, Virginia in February 1999 and am looking to become
involved in the community. I came to Minnesota after serving as an officer in the United States Navy
and would like to continue in public service.
I am employed with Guidant Corporation (Cardiac Rhythm Management) in Arden Hills. My wife Claire
and I have a 19- month -old daughter, Madison, and we look forward to making Centerville our home for
a very long time. Therefore, I have an acute interest in the community of Centerville and seeing the
area develop and prosper properly.
I have lived in many different communities (rural Kentucky, Nashville, TN; Pensacola, FL; Sacramento,
CA; Jacksonville, FL; and Virginia Beach; VA) and seen many different approaches to managing area
development. I feel these experiences will benefit the Planning and Zoning Commission greatly.
You will find my resume enclosed and 1 thank you for considering me for this position. I hope to hear
from you soon.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms Gaustad,
As you suggested, I am writing formally to be considered for the vacancy on the
Planning Committee of the city.
Although not yet a resident of Centerville, my wife and I are in the process of
building a house at 1661 Lakeland Circle, which is scheduled to be completed
by October 15th. A purchase agreement has been signed with Imperial Builders.
A brief resume of my background is as follows: 1 retired from 3M after spending
twenty -six years mostly in senior management positions. The last six years in
the International Division, as Business Development Manager; first for Asia and
then for Europe. Since 1982, I have lived in Bloomington.
I am interested in becoming involved with local government having enjoyed the
experience of participating in various town councils in my younger years in
England. The planning aspect of the opening particularly interests me as I like
the rural atmosphere in the Centerville area and would like to see this preserved
while appreciating that there must be planned development. Incidentally, most
• of my life has been concerned with planning one way or another.
I should be grateful if you would submit my application to the planning committee
and look forward to hearing from you in due course. If you require any other
information, please let me know.
Yours sI erely,
W�. v.c.; /j 1

RE: Animal Control Ordinance
DATED: June 29, 1999
I was requested to review the existing animal control ordinance number 24 and 24 -a in order to
update and revise the ordinances as needed. My review of the existing ordinances find them to
be disjunctive self contradictory, and just downright confusing to read much less interpret their
enforcement. Accordingly, instead of trying to revise the existing ordinances related to animal
control, it would be my recommendation to have each of the Council Members review the model
animal control ordinance from the League of Minnesota Cities and decide what they like and
don't like about that model ordinance. We could then tailor that ordinance to better fit the needs
of the City of Centerville. Even if there are recommended additions to, or deletions from the
League's model ordinance, it is a much better template to start out from than the existing
ordinances.
My request from the Council would be a consensus on the type of animal controls, procedures,
and violations they would like to see enforced. From that censeraus I can then discuss with the
Council the pros and cons of what they wish to do (or not do) and draft a new animal control
ordinance specifically for the City of Centerville.
I would like to emphasize that if there was a quick fix available to the existing ordinances, it
• would certainly be my preference to do so. However, your existing ordinances are quite honestly
not worth saving, and should be overhauled in their entirety.
Please advise as to the Council's wishes.

within the surrounding area or in any other
respect impair the public health, safety, or

HORSE ORDINANCE
The City of Andover has an ordinance -that is
designed to regulate the keeping of horses. This ordin-
ance has been in effect since August 16. 1974. The
major points of said ordinance are as follows:
No horses, ponies or foals shall be kept on any
plat of less than 25S acres; and no more than one horse t
per half acre on any plats under five acres. A minimum
enclosure, or corral of at least 800 square feet per animal
is required, with a roofed enclosure of not less than 100
square feet; said structure shall not be closer than 100
feet from any occupied residence. All animals must be
kept in the rear yard only.
All persons keeping horses on less than five
acres must have a permit. These permits, while not
available at the time of this Newsletter, will soon be
at the City Hall. A Horseman's Council, made up of
five persons, will review all applications for permits, all
complaints and requests for variances, and make reom-
mendations to the City Council. / 1
All residents who have horses, or are contem-

I OPENING
Chair Welk opened the Planning and Zoning meeting at 7:00 p.m.
II PUBLIC HEARING (S)
A. Variance Request - D. Killian (1695 Sorel Street)
Mr. Killian explained that his wife is handicapped and needs ramp access into their home.
He proposed to convert his porch into a ramp. Currently, the porch is on the set back
line. Ms. Broussard Vickers felt other homeowners enjoy the right to access their
home. Whereas, the Killian family does not have access, nor enjoyment. Mr. Killian
mentioned at the last Council meeting the Attorney did not have a concern with the
request.
Motion by Ms. Broussard Vickers, seconded by Mr. Hanson to close the pubic
hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
B. Rezone Request - Rehbein Properties
Ms. Gaustad gave a synopsis of the rezone request to transform property identified as RI
(Rural Residential) to 11 (Industrial). Also, the property is identified in the Comprehensive
Plan as park areas.
Motion by Mr. LaMotte, seconded by Ms. Broussard Vickeres to close the public hearing.
Motion carried unanimously.
III APPEARANCES - NONE
IV ACTION ITEMS
I Action on Variance Request - Killian (1695 Sorel Street)
Motion by Broussard Vickers, seconded by Mr. LaMotte to grant the variance
request based on close consideration of the variance standards and the consideration
of ADA. However, since ADA does not necessarily mandate provisions for
residential use, we feel the spirit of the law should be considered. Motion carried
unanimously.
II Action Rezone Request - Rehbein Properties
The Commission discussed the advantages and disadvantages of rezoning the property.
One disadvantage if the request is granted, is that a commercial property owner may
return and request this 10 acre residential property be exchanged with 10 acre of
commercial property. Furthermore, the area identified as RI is located within an industrial
corridor and the area would not be conducive to residential structures. Mr. Hanson
mentioned what type of park would enjoyable in the middle of an industrial park. Mr.
Rehbein said the Comprehensive Plan indicates the area as parks, but it is not correct.
Motion by Chair Welk, seconded Hanson to recommend the property in Cl
remain and the portion RI (Rural Residential) be rezoned to Il (Industrial) and the
area that is park be rezoned accordingly, contingent upon the Parks and Recreation
Commission approval. Motion carried unanimously.
