Dear Ry-chel/Parks Planning:
Thank you so much for speaking with me today, Ry-chel, regarding securing playground
equipment for Laurie LaMotte Park on LaMotte Drive in Centerville.
It would mean a great deal Byron and I, not to mention many of our neighbors, to be able
to have a playground area for our children to meet and play with each other. We have a
Z�/z year old son, Karsten, and the majority of my neighbors on LaMotte Drive and ,
LaMotte Circle have school-aged children. There isn't any place for them to go to play on I
piayground equipment (the closest area appears to be about a quarter mile away), and I I
would like to work with you to see what can be done for the kids in my neighborhood. I
Ry-chel, would you/parks planning please seriously consider placing some playground
equipment (jungle gym, slides, swings, climbing areas, and, perhaps some picnic tables for
the adults to oversee the kids) in Laurie LaMotte Park on LaMotte Drive (i.e., the kind of
piayground equipment you would see at Centerville Elementary school).
I know the neighbors would love to see this happen, and I would provide you any support �I
you ne�d to y"�� i��is accrrr�piisned. Please c�ntact rr�e �phone rrumbers above) and ie't me '�
know what we can do to make this a reality for our kids. Ry-chel, would you please stay
in touch with me and let me know the follow-up to this request.
Thank you very much for taking your time to consider this proposal -- anything you can do
to accomplish this, would be very much appreciated!!
Sincerely,

The Council discussed renewin� the garba�e contract, eartendin� the contract beyond the October
renewal date and addressin� the due dates at the next Council meetin�.
Mr. Biil Joslin (2054 Willow Circle) expressed concern re�arding the truck traffic, noise and dust
activity east of Willow Glen. Mayor t�ilharber su�gested Plannin� and Zonina Committee
consider amendin� the noise ordinance to eliminate truck traffic prior to 9:00 a.m. on weekend
morrungs.
Ms. Debra Kops (2055 Willow Circle) said perhaps the city could address the weekend noise
concern to enst�re residents in the fiit��re will not have to deal with the same sihiation.
Mayor �jilharber thanked the residents for voicin� their concern.
UNF�ISHED �3USINES5
The �r�oods of Clearwater Creek Prelirriinarv Coa�sideration �'or
(Grading Pla�/Preliminary Ptat/Deveiopr�ent Contract)
Mr. March reported the Plannin� and Zoning Commission recommended "The Woods of
Clearwater Creek" preliminary plat approval contin6ent upon the issues presented by the
En�ineer, and City Inspectors are addressed, and specific attention given to the developm�nts
drainage and run off specifically in re�ards to the south properties. And, an "As Built" is
completed prior to certificates of occupancy beina issued that a variance is �ranted pertaining to I
the len�h of the road and a temporary cul-de-sac. �,
Mr. March Qave a brief overview of the proposed preliminary plat. Mr. Peterson said he had ,
received the plans just prior to the Council meetin�. However, the cul-de-sac ri�ht-of way needs �
to be established and the grading pIan incIudes previously stated corrections. Mayor Wilharber
questioned the Engineering Staff as to the cost to continue the watermain throu�h the park to the
west of the Development. Mr. March responded in the past the City has requested Developers to
pay a percenta�e of the watermain truck cost. Councilmember Helmbrecht questioned the
Engineer in re�ards to the distance of the dead-end watermain if it is not looped through the park.
l��Ir. Peterson estimated the watermain will be close to 890' if it is not looped.
Mr. Travis commented the RCWD stated the first pond does not need a sl:immer because the
water is draining into the regional pond. Mr. March noted the lang term maintenance to the City
is to clean out the sediment in the regional pond. Also, it may be less expensive to maintain a
smaller and thinner pond than a lar�er regional pond. Mr. Peterson commented the developer
may not be required to install a skimmer. Ma Wilharber confirmed Mr. Peterson will talk to
RCWD and confirm if a skimmer is recommended or required for the �Joods of Clearwater Creek
development.
Mr. March stated the Developer is Iooking for preliminary plat approval and direction on the
development. In addition, the Developer would like to start installing the utilities and suggested
3
preliminary plat approval contin�ent upon RCWD approval and permit. Mr. Peterson sua�ested
including a skimmer.
Councilmember Helmbrecht moved to at�prove preliminarv plat a�Droval for the Woods of
Clearwater Creek Develonment contint ent upon the eneineers final at�aroval and his
recommendation hat-e been met. Councilmember Brenner seconded the motion. Motion carried
u:�animouslv.
Deveionment Contr�ct
Mr. March gave an overview of the development contract and stated the stormwater fee ma_y have
been considered for the whole 19.3 acre property instead of the proposed 10-acre development.
Mr. Hoeft commented that City can tailar the disbursement a�reement to accept a performance
bond or a letter of credit from the Developer.
Laurie LaMotte A'�e�nori�l Park
NIr. Mzxch explained the �au:ie La��l2ctte Park prcgress and that the City is �repared to install the
watermain. �ay�r w'ilhar'oer su�ge5ted athletic teams be notified of the construction and that
signage indicate the purpose of construction.
Mr. Peterson reported a preconstruction meeting was held an September 8, 1998. He also said '
that Forest Lake Contracting would like to commence work as soon as possible. Forest Lake �
Contractin� plans to remove fihrtures at the park (fence posts, back stops ect. ). Forest Lake '�
Contracting plans to install 1�00' of six inches of waterrnain ( PVC) pipe from Centerville Road to �,
the Park buildin�. I
I
In spite of Mr. Petersons request to meet with H.R. Green engineezs to discuss Laurie LaMotte
Park gradin� plans, H.R. Crreen declined the offer. Mr. Peterson felt the meeting is imperative ��
because he noticed fla�ant errors on the LaMotte Park gradin� plan and he believed there are �
reasons to support H.R. Greens �radin� methods. �
I
Councilmember Helmbrecht confirmed the Parks �rading plans wi11 be resubmitted ta the Council �!
for consideration. As requested, Mr. Peterson commented on a letter dated September 4, 1998 �
zrom the Elect, ical Engineer, ?��Ir. Howard Stanford (E�ibit A). The letter indicates a series of
electrical additions and changes at a cost of $50,000. Mr. March noted the additional electrical
expenses will strain the Park and Recreation's budget. However, the Park and Recreation
Committee did not select any alternative for the Parks development durin� the September
meetin�. Therefore, additional funds may be available, however, exact fi�ures are not available.
Mayor Wilharber �ave a rou�h estimate of $177,8?9.00 as a Park and Recreation budget which
includes the Woods of Cleai Creek. Mr. Palzer noted an addition $17,OQ0 will be needed if
the Council considers installinQ the hockey rink in time to be used winter of 1998.
Mayor Wilharber noted an $8,000 budget short fall with the base bid, the hockey rink installation
4
for winter activities and the $�0,000 electrical adjustments. Furthermore, this does not consid�r
a redesign of the �radin� to ensure proper drainage, nor administrative fees, which will increase
the expenditures.
Councilmember Helmbrecht su��ested the Council delay the hockey rink construction until the
Cit_y knows the total proiect cost. Mr. Palzer questioned the Council if the City should maintain
the e�tra electric service south of the hockey rink. The Council aareed with Mayor Wilharber's
suggestion to pull the electric service and preserve it in the attempt to save the line.
Cou�ci�member Helmbreeht moved to ex�end an additioaal �15.000 as ner the Enaineers
�ette� in rea�rds to Laurie LaMotte 11'Iemoria! P�rk. Councilmember Brenner seconded
the anotion. 1l�Iotion carried unanimousEv.
Fiashing Crosswalk I,i6t�t
Mr. March updated the Council on the flashin� crosswalk li�hts. He also reported the city is in
receipt of a letter from the school district indicatin� that they are willing to pay 50 percent of the
traf�ic si�nal desi�n cost. The Council discussed if the City or the County will be responsible for
inspection and suggest the City protectin� its interest and inspectin� the installation of the liQhts.
Mayor Wilharber reported the City received a letter irom Commissioner Mar�aret Lan�feld,
which indicated the County's efforts and results of implementin� the flashin� crosswalk li�hts on �
Main Street. i

Frelian�a��r Coa�sidera�ioa� for �uechIer �s�a��s -�'arE� D�e�fie�tzon O�tie�ns
Mr. March updated the Council on the proposed Buechler Estates. Mr. March refered to
Ordinance #8. �sr.rticle 2- Besign Standards - Section 21.02 1r.AN� B��BICATIQPrT. In
essence the subdivider shall be reauired to pav a fee as per schedule in effect ner lot created or
ten (101 nercent ofthe subdivisian land i-�alue whichever is areater n�ior to subdivision: the value
(marketZof the land shall be determined bv netrotiation between the Citv and Developer. Lots
created in anv manner that are lar�er than five (51 acres or three hundred (3001 feet in width shall
not be sub�.ect to dedication of land for bublic use. Furthermore, the rriost recent developments,
(i.e. Parkview, Eagle Pass, Clearwater Meadows) have cantributed �900 per lot for park
ciedication fees, not 10 percent of the subdivision land.
5
Mr. March reported Mr. Navin (Park and Recreation Chairman) did not foresee the Park and
Recreation taking property in lieu of cash. However, Mr. Porter (Park and Recreation Member)
su��ested the city take the park funds.
Councilmember Helmbrecht questioned the Developer as to the purchase price of the property.
Mr. Buechler responded the purchase price has not been settled. Mr. Buechler confirmed a four
unit subdivision would not require a 10 percent park dedication fee. Mr. Jay Mcl�Tab (Mr.
Buechler's legal council) defined the ordinance pertainin� to 10 percent of land value as "the land
value" prior to subdivision or in its current status.
CounciImember Brenner requested Park and Recreation's recommendations prior to Council
action.
Mr. Lloyd Drillin�s (7185 Mound Trail) implied the park dedication fee ordinance was desiQned
with the idea to obsorb the population impact on the community, namely the parks. Whereas, this
smalt development will not have a si�nificant impact on the community. Mr. Hal Liebel (7397
Main Street) shared because of the condemnation process Anoka County took hundreds of acres
for park purposes. Mr. Drillin�s commented that five Iots will have less impact on the community
then a 42-lot development.
Mr. Jim Hoeft (Legal Council) noted the value of a property is based on recent sales and the
purchase price. For example, the amount of dollors paid for the vacant land is the worth of the
land. The Council discussed the City's history re�ardin� park dedication fees. Counciimember
Brenner and Helmbrecht favored tabling the issue until the Parks and Recreation Committee has
an opportunity to make recommendation. Councilmember Buckbee favored neaotiatinQ the park
fees between the Developer and the City. Mayor �Vilharber favored ne�otiatinQ a fee, but felt the
$900 per lot fee, is too inexpensive.
Councilmember Buckbee moved to direct Citv Staffto investitrate Parkview. Acorn Creek. and
('learwater Meadows land value/ t�ark dedication fees and the ratio in combarison to the 10
nercent of land vs �.ark dedication fees within the last two vear. Councilmember Helmbrecht
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimouslv.
('ouncitmember Brenner moved to refer this matter to the Park and Recreation Committee for its
consideration Councilmember Helmbrecht seconded the motion Motion carried unanimouslv.
The Council elected to diseuss the Buechler Estates roads if the Develop�r's plans are to proceed
with the development.

Est�b[ish Truth and T�xadon HearinQ Dates
Mr. March mave an overview of the available truth and taxation hearin� dates and he noted
conflictin� dates with other ;overnmental agencies. Moreover, he recommended rescheduling the
December 23, Council meetinQ to Monda_y, December 21, 1998. Therefore, the Counci] can hold

• Wifh growth, noise level is too high, especially along the main traveled roads through
town.
• Too many cars & too many psople already.
• The unappeafing and "cluttered look" with the current downtown businesses.
• Community pride
• Poor water quafify of Lakes, especially with new developments.
• Garbage from Waterworks in lakes and around shores.
• Und�rage drinking at Waterworks. Waterworks & Main Str. too much a pofice "troubled
area."
• Current parks are too "tucked away", dark and not very inviting. ,
�
Would Nev�r Like fo See !n Centerviile ,
• No n2w businesses in what is considered the current downtown area. ��
• No new bars in Centerville. ',
• No freeways through Centerviile. (14 or Main Str., grand plan for fufure highways can I
be found at public library.) ��
• No new duplexes or multiple-unit-housing complexes in Centerville (exciuding Senior
Housing) '
• Never a(fow businesses on city's vacant land (Sorel Str. & Centerville Rd.) ,
Would Like To See Chancred fn Centerviffe
• Move all businesses down east toward freeway area -- Ke�p all businesses in the same
area, not peppered ti�roughout the town.
• Create a new area for "Downtown" (i.e. - more fowards 35, 20th & Main) Turn current
downtown area into residential area.
• Clean up look of current - Centerville bus+nesses. Give them more of a quaint look. C�t
rid of muftip(e buildings per business, especially those that are falling apart.
• Restore buildings and homes in Centerviile to original c�ndition.
• Get regulations or covenants for businesses & homes "in the books" so as to ensure
consistent and constant esthetic appeal.
• Take down oid public works bui(dings on Sorei Str. and move out of downtown area and
closer to 20fh & 14. Keep ail city offices together.

• Change Waterworks into a far►cy supper club-(i.e. -Toby's By The Lake)
- Pui up signs around town, "No Jake Brakes", as in other towns.
Dreams For The Future
• Have a coordinated Master P(an for �(i of Centerville, with immediate and specific
emphasis on the esthetic appeal of the current downtown area. Have Design Team help us
with these ideas.
• Woufd fike to see Design Team give us ideas on how to limit growth, even though soma
growth is inevitable.
• Like to live in homes in peace and quiet.
• Downtown area become more like that of White Bear Lake, with quaint shops. {i.e. -
Antique, gift and coffee shops) Shops and streets have a French theme decor, in keeping
with Centervilie's French Canadian & lndian heritage.
• Walking path down Main Street & Centerville Road. Connect walking path of Lino Lakes
to future & current waiking paths in Centerville. '�
• A Centervilie Community Center (+ndoor pool, game room, tennis, gyms, etc.- perhaps I �
on the church's 10 acres?) - Others have expressed if that 10 acres selis, should t� I
kept residential. Move Community Center more towards the "new" downtown area (35 & i
14). Perhaps corroborate with neighboring towns (Hugo, Lino, Circle Pines, Forest '�
Lake, White Bear Township) for Cammunity Center on 14. ,
i
City's Vacani Lot (oid public works & fire hall area}; �
• Put in a rose/flower garden, with fountain (very French), benches and Gazebo on the �
city's vacant lot. Seniors from Senior Housing & other citizens could help to maintain !
gardens. I �
• Take down Pubfic Works building. '
• Preserve jail part of building at current pub(ic works - turn into a museum. ',
• Tum city's vacant lot into park. '
• incorporate museum & park on city's vacant lot.
• Cemetery - paved road with better and more appealing fencing & lights.
• For higher community pride: fashionable French lamp posfs along sidewalks with
Centerville fiags thai would change with the seasons. Ffanging flower baskets, garland
and fight strands from telephone and lamp poles. A Centerville LOGO & phrase.
• Encourage ali new Centerville businesses to be "high qua(ity."
• Give current parks a facelift.
