Thank you for the opportunity to review your comprehensive plan. We noted the following items: 1. Your future land use map indicates a high density residential zoning district on the Centerville north boundary just west of 20th Avenue. Our current zoning district as well as our future land use plan for property adjoining that location is single family residential. This high density designation could cause traffic concerns for Centerville as noted in comment 2. We may not want any street interconnects if you choose to proceed with this density. Our Planning Commission asked that you consider removing the high density zone from this location and making it a low or medium density area. If you need to replace the acreage to maintain overall densities, consider a location on the south boundary of Centerville west of 20th Avenue. Centerville has high density residential on our south as well as industrial zoning immediately adjacent to 20th Avenue. (You should have our future land use map in your files, as you reviewed our draft plan.) We believe this location for high density development would be more compatible. 2. Your figure 6-4 map shows a future street connecting to Centerville's Old Mill Road. Your map shows estimated traffic counts of 7000 AADT. Centerville has concerns that our streets could become shortcuts for traffic from these areas which may be this high because of your proposed high density residential district noted in comment one above. Our streets on this side of Centerville are not designed for traffic volumes of this magnitude. 3. In your map Figures 7.3 and 7.4 as well as narrative on page 7 -20, it should be mentioned that Lino Lakes residences on the end of Mound Trail as well as LaMotte Drive are served with sanitary sewer via an interconnect with Centerville.
