Tourville reconvened the Lakeland Hills public hearing from January 7, 1997. Tourville
opened the discussion to Mr. Mike Black of Royal Oaks Realty, Inc.
Mr. Black explained he was present to requested approval of the preliminary plat design
and rezoning. Mr. Black explained Royal Oaks have complied with the R2 zoning
requirements. Since the last meeting Royal Oaks met with MSA Consulting Engineers
and their staff and revisions have been made since the last meeting.
~fr. Black briefed the Planning and Zoning Commission of the revisions. The 50 feet rear
lot line has been addressed. The comer lots have a ten percent area addition. Mr. Black
suggested Planning and Zoning consider looking at comer lot requirements in the
ordinance as Mr. Black felt they were vague. Mr. Black updated the grading plan with
additions to include additional grading between homes and the wetlands will be addressed.
~tr. Black commented the utility plans have not been changed. An issue that will need to
be addressed is the need to extend the watermain and the future location of the extension
of the watermain.
Mr. Black has presented the sketch plans to the Army Corp of Engineers, RCWD, MSA,
City Staff, Planning and Zoning, Anoka County Highway Department, Tom Hoovey of the
..-
Planning and Zoning February 4, 1997
MnDNR. Royal Oaks is doing what they can to preserve as much wetlands and natural
surroundings in the development.
Mr. Black explained after the RCWD meeting Royal Oaks lost a building lot, dropping the
count from 41 to 40 buildable lots. Continuing, Royal Oaks may be loosing more since
they need to obtain permits from the Army Corp of Engineers, PCA, DNR - wildlife and a
nation wide permit.
Mr. Black described the lot layout and explained the over all street concept will not
change. Mr. Black is asking for the Planning and Zoning support to make a
recommendation to the City Council to approve the rezoning and preliminary plat. Mr.
Black suggested first, accepting the general street design not to exceed 40 buildable lots.
Second, approval is subject to the approval from the required review boards:
MnDNR, RCWD, and the US Army Corp of Engineers. Third, settle the watermain
easement location. Forth, developer work with the City Council to develop an avenue to
work out a watermain loop from Lalonde's property, either across the creek or down
Peltier Lake Drive. Fifth, entrance island with minimal maintenance shrubs, bushes and
contingent upon MSA - Dave Nyberg's approval. Mr. Black requested consideration for a
1000 feet block variance.
Nyberg recommended constructing the road with no curbs or gutters but put in guard
rails. Tourville asked what is the tonnage on these roads? Nyberg responded 7 ton
although, he felt it was best to go without curbs and gutters for maintenance purposes.
LaMotte questioned the road guarantee since the same issues were addressed and handled
with Peltier Lake Drive but it didn't work? Broussard-Vickers asked if it was required to
keep the road outlet to Main Street? Nyberg said yes its required for emergency vehicles
and access.
Tourville asked if the erosion issue was addressed from the last meeting? Nyberg
commented there is a sift fence that would protect erosion unless the watermain goes
under the creek, then some disruption may occur.
Nyberg identified the three options for the watermain loop:
1) North, under the creek
2) South, under the creek
3) Running the watermain down Peltier Lake Drive
Nyberg commented the utilities will be addressed on the utility plan sheet. Further, the
watermain easement will need to be shown on the final plat.
Nyberg felt confident with the developers attention to detail and suggested forwarding the
preliminary plat to the City Council with the mentioned contingencies.

Planning and Zoning February 4, 1997
Hatem Qamhieh 7251 Clearwater Drive, questioned the drainage flow. Mr. Qamhieh
second concern was the run off on the east side of the home by the creek. Mr. Qamhieh
asked if the drainage could be directed to the west, keeping the drainage away from the
creek. Nyberg explained the back yards will have sod which will absorb more run off then
the current landscaping. In addition only four homes will contribute to the run off.
Nyberg continued RCWD requires certain peak discharged rates to meet certain criteria's
which will apply on the run off issue.
Tourville asked Mr. Qamhieh ifhis questions were answered satisfactory? Mr. Qamhieh
said no, he would like the four homes to have all the gutters direct all drainage away from
the creek.
Bill Lalonde of 1687 Westview Street questioned the restrictive convenient time frame of
five years and asked iffive years was long enough? Mr. Black felt there was no need to
have the restrictive covenant have longer terms since no one local would enforce it.
Mr. Lalonde addressed his concerns, suggesting three not two car garages, no dog kennels
so there wouldn't be dogs yelping. Mr. Lalonde felt no disturbance of the wetlands.
Further, the park dedication land should be on lots 1,2, and 3. The streets should be
wider than narrow and have sidewalks. Mr. Lalonde felt lots 1 - 8 leading to the school
should have sidewalk access. He felt there should be curbs and gutters all the way. Mr.
Lalonde feels there is a real water problem. In addition he feels the watermain should be
brought to Peltier Lake Drive because if it crosses the creek it won't do any good for
anyone. Mr. Lalonde requested Mr. Nyberg to view the south west lot in the spring since
there is a bigger water issue than there currently appears. Mr. Lalonde stated for the
record "he is not in favor of further development in the city, and the city should put a
moratorium on all building".
Mr. Qamhieh agreed there should be sidewalks for children to get to school. Tourville
questioned the sidewalk issue and asked how this would be addressed? Nyberg explained
it would be an issue the City Council would address in the developers agreement.
Tourville asked what happen to the sidewalk issue from the last meeting? Nyberg
explained the city requires sidewalks on 9 ton collector street"s, Lakeland Hills will have 7
ton street.
Tourville asked how much traffic should the city expect from the development to the
school? Mr. Black explained the school will have a back door provided for children
walking to school and when the school expands a path will be provided. The school has
seen the plan and are comfortable as it is. Tourville asked if the trail should be an
easement? Nyberg explained the city should identify the walk way as an outlot or trailway
easement. Mr. Black explained he wouldn't want an easement because of the value of the
homes and the salability.
Broussard- Vickers suggested since the one lot is being vacated, provide an access to the
school there instead of through the northern lot. Nyberg suggested approval contingent

Planning and Zoning February 4, 1997
upon Mr. Black's comments regarding the state agencies, engineers approval and
recommend the preliminary plat and rezoning to the council.
Tourville commented the restrictive covenant is slightly more restrictive than the zoning
ordinance. Nyberg commented the restrictive covenant is more for the plan review.
MOTION by Tourville, seconded by Broussard-Vickers to close the "Lakeland Hills"
public hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
Public hearing closed at 9:00 PM
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
January 7, 1997 meeting minutes - tabled
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
Zoning/or the Leroux/Henselproperties:
Tourville felt the 1000 feet length of the block variance is no problem with Planning and
Zoning. Short straight streets are okay, as it is an Engineer issue. Tourville liked to
entertain the idea of minimal maintenance center islands, the City would welcome them if
something could be worked out.
MOTION by Broussard-Vickers, seconded by LaMotte to recommend rezoning of the
LerouxlHensel property from R3 to R2 contingent upon final plat approval. Further,
Planning and Zoning recommend the preliminary plat to the City Council contingent upon
the approval of all review boards, the City Engineers approval. Motion carried
unanimously.
March mentioned a developer would like Planning and Zoning review the tentative plat for
Eagle Pass 3rd addition. March informed the Commission the proposed area is staged for
development in year 2000. Tourville commented Planning and Zoning does not want to
entertain listening to this addition since the first comprehensive plan had just been
submitted to the Met Council and the area is staged for year 2000.
MOTION by Tourville, seconded by LaMotte to adjourn the Planning and Zoning
Meeting.
Meeting was adjourned at 9:55 PM.

Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City
ofCenterville held their regular meeting and a public hearing on Tuesday, January 7, 1997,
at City Hall. Chairperson Tourville called the regular meeting to order at 7:05 PM.

PUBLIC HEARING CALLED TO ORDER AT 7:05 PM
Tourville introduced Mr. Mike Black from Royal Oaks Realty, Inc. whom was proposing
to have Lakeland Hills preliminary plan and rezoning approved.
Mr. Black explained the Royal Oaks Realty, Inc. is proposing a 33.9 acres development
"Lakeland Hills". The minimum square feet per lot of 15,000 has been met. The average
lot size is over 33,000 square feet. Mr. Black introduced Mr. Tim Kytonen the Registered
Land Surveyor of Glenn Rehbein Companies. Mr. Kytonen will be working with Royal
Oaks since they have done a majority of the plans and excavating for the previous land
owner Rocky Goertz.
Mr. Black explained RCWD is currently reviewing the wetlands and mitigation, however
some of the wetland impacts cannot be avoided. Mr. Black is proposing to run sanitary
sewer and water off Centerville Road. Black explained the City Engineer will have to
address the pressure and long extension of the waterrnain from the north.
Mr. Black explained this will be a closed development but they will open lots to a couple
builders. Although other builders will be involved, Royal Oaks will approve all building
plans prior to building. The home values will be between $175,000 and $200,000 and
higher by the creek or with a lake view. The Leroux property consists of 17 acres and the
Hensel property is approximately 17 acres.
Tourville asked, "What will happen with the Hensel house?" Mr. Black explained the
home will be moved and the exterior remodeled but currently Royal Oaks plans to leave it
in the development.
Planning and Zoning Meeting January 7, 1997
Tourville asked "Was Royal Oaks was requesting R-2 Single Family rezoning?" Mr.
Black said yes. Tourville asked if there is a building pad on each lot including the smallest
lot. Mr. Black said yes there is a building pad on each lot and 15,000 square feet is the
smallest lot. Tourville confirmed the three accesses; two off County Road 14 and one off
Centerville Road. Mr. Black explained if guard rails are requested from the city there will
be one on the north entrance exiting off County Road 14.
LaMotte asked what would happen with the shrubs and trees. Mr. Black said the majority
of the shrubs and trees will remain. Royal Oaks felt preserving the atmosphere would lend
to the development. LaMotte questioned the Centerville Elementary Schools drainage.
Mr. Black mentioned a portion of the drainage will be flowing on Lots 7,8,9 and 10. Mr.
Black has been in contact with Bill Martin and Gary Korpella at the school and RCWD.
Royal Oaks is happy to work with the school on the drainage issues. Although the
majority of the ponding is on the school property, Mr. Black was not sure ifRCWD will
allow ponding in wetlands. LaMotte suggested placing a fence along the pond area to
keep kids out. Mr. Kytonen mentioned the ponds are very shallow.
Mr. Black mentioned the lowest floor elevations will be two feet above the flood plain.
Tourville questioned the trailway to the school. Mr. Black said the trailway will be a 15
feet wide and 140 feet along the trail right of way to the school. If the city would prefer
something else Royal Oaks is happy to discuss it. Although Mr. Behrind, Mr. Martin and
Mr. Korpella from the school have seen the plans and were comfortable with the trail
leading to the ballfields.
Tourville asked if the school was against a through road. Mr. Black understood the
school was not in favor of a through road. Whereas, the Fire and Police departments were
in favor of the road going through.
Mayor Wilharber commented the city could have the developers put in sidewalks.
March commented sidewalks could be included in the developers agreement. Tourville
asked "What is to keep motorized vehicles or bikes from driving on the sidewalk?" Mr.
Bill Lalonde of 1687 Westview Street, felt it depends how the city address the sidewalks.
Tim Schweppe of 7249 Centerville Road, questioned the distance between the
development and the north side abutting properties. Mr. Black said it will be a minimal of
30 feet but it could be 50 - 60 feet in distance. Mr. Schweppe asked about drainage. Mr.
Kytonen said they could install a berm and redirect the flow of water.
Mr. Schweppe asked "What will happen with the row of pines and the other trees which
run along the wetlands?" Mr. Black said the trees will stay, unless the lot purchaser
wishes to move their house in that area.

~.... ..
Planning and Zoning Meeting January 7, 1997
Mr. Schweppe asked "What was the proposed width of the road from Centerville Road
since it was constructed at 34 feet?" Mr. Kytonen said the width of the road right of way
will be 60 feet with a 34 foot road.
March mentioned the City Engineer has not submitted comments on this development.
Tourville suggested Planning and Zoning have an opportunity to review the engineers
comments prior to approval.
Hatem Qamhieh, 7251 Clearwater Drive, questioned the water run off to the creek and
requested directing the drainage to flow to the west away from the creek. Mr. Black
explained the storm water system directs the water flow away from the creek but some
water will flow into the creek. Mr. Qamhieh said there must be protection since the creek
is eroding and wondered what there is for protection. Tourville asked ifthere is a
sedimentation pond needed. Mr. Black commented during construction the creek will be
protected from sediment and erosion. Mr. Qamhieh mentioned several years ago the
creek was about 7 feet wide now it is 15 feet wide, he felt it was due to run off from
developments. Mr. Qamhieh suggested directing water to Centerville Lake instead of the
creek.
Bill Lalonde felt too much building is going on, at least until the school, sewer system and
water towers catches up. Mr. Lalonde requested Planning and Zoning not put this before
the council on January 8th. Mr. Lalonde said for the record "He is not in favor of this
development although this is a nice development". Mr. Lalonde was not in favor of any
encroachment on the pines and rough trees on the property and suggested the roughest
trees be taped off for protection. Mr. Lalonde recalled an artesian well on the west side of
the property. Lots 8, 9, and 10 of Block 3 will not be able to be filled.
Mr. Lalonde is against allowing the city to accept park dedication fees in place of park
dedicated land. If the City is not able to maintain the park, they should slow down on
development. Mr. Lalonde feels the drainage should be addressed. Further, a minimal
digging time should be allowed and if exceeded, apply a penalty of$500.00 per day. Mr.
Lalonde felt re-sodding instead of re-seeding is necessary and he is for a moratorium on
building in the city.
Bob Knabe, 7241 Main Street, questioned the drainage on Main Street since it appears the
drainage is collecting on his property, north of the proposed development. Mr. Knabe
suggested cleaning the culverts out so the water runs free and doesn't back up.
Mr. Schweppe suggested placing the Hensel home in another area to avoid an eye sore.
Mr. Black mentioned it is a very nice home and Royal Oaks would do what they can to
match the Hensel house with the other new homes.
Tourville asked if the Police and Fire Department wanted Centerville Road to go through?
3
Planning and Zoning Meeting January 7, 1997
Wilharber mentioned the police had no problem with the development, the Fire
Department would like Centerville Road to go through. March mentioned Milo Bennett
would rather have Centerville Road go through but the proposed plan is okay.
Tourville mentioned if the City decides to go with a park the City will shy away from
accepting wetlands. Mayor Wilharber mentioned maybe the city and the school can work
together with the park area.
Mr. Qamhieh asked "Where will the school expand?" Mayor Wilharber mentioned the
school has proposed an expansion within the center of the school, they are not expanding
outside of the existing building walls.
Broussard-Vickers asked "What if Planning and Zoning postponed approval until another
meeting, what impact would it have on the development?" Mr. Black explained he would
understand if the Planning and Zoning would like to table the preliminary plat, he then
questioned the rezoning approval. Tourville explained its been the city's practice to
approve rezoning upon final plat approval. Tourville asked if anyone had any further
questions.
MOTION by Vermeulen, seconded by Welk to continue the Public Hearing until
February 3, 1997 to hear the comments from the City Engineer. Motion carried
unanimously.

Planning and Zoning Meeting January 7, 1997
Tourville questioned the future expandability. Mr. Craig Kozar had reserved about 80 feet
to the west for future expansion.
Tourville suggested speaking to Rehbein to correct the swale if needed. Tourville was
concerned with the landscaping on the north side of the building. Mr. Craig Kozar was
thinking of small bushes and trees on the north side of the building.
Tourville said for the record "Screening is not necessary between this building and Noble
Welding" .

maintenance, traffic, the land is not level and there is no purpose, I am not in favor of
granting a Special Use Permit".
