PROCLAMATION The Mayor will read a proclamation commending Eagle Scout Matt Borchers for his Scout achievements. 4. COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES The Council will consider the minutes from the following meetings in a single motion: a. The Regular City Council Meeting from February 3, 2015; b. Two Council Work Sessions from February 3, 2015; and c. The Council Work Session from February 12, 2015. 5. CONSENT AGENDA The Council will consider the following items, which are routine and non-controversial in nature, in a single motion: 5.1 Approval of the list of license applications submitted by the City Clerk to the City Council, a list that is on file in the office of the City Clerk; 5.2 Approval of disbursements over $25,000 submitted by the Finance Director to the City Council, a list that is on file in the office of the Finance Director; 5.3 Approval of a resolution accepting a donation of $25 from Virginia Timmerman for the Crystal K-9 Unit; 5.4 Approval of a resolution amending the 2014 Budget; 5.5 Refunding a 2014 variance application fee for 6602 59th Avenue North; and Crystal City Council Meeting Agenda February 17, 2015 5.6 Approval of three solicitor licenses for James Harper Jr., Aaron Jahnke, and Joshua Stover of The Window Store Home Improvements, Inc., to go door-to-door in Crystal from February 18 — March 17, 2015, offering free estimates and scheduling appointments for home improvement projects. 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS 6.1 The Mayor will open a public hearing to receive comment and consider a resolution allocating 2015 Community Development Block Grant funds. The U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) provides funds to communities through its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Crystal does not receive funds directly from HUD, but it does receive a specific allocation of funds through Hennepin County. Crystal's anticipated 2015 CDBG allocation is $106,088, which is slightly less than the $107,956 2014 allocation. CDBG funds are limited to: ❑ Housing when at least 20% of all housing resulting from redevelopment, whether new or rehabbed units, is to be affordable to lower income persons. ❑ At least 70% will be spent on programs that benefit lower income persons. Because the deferred home improvement /oans are only available to lower income households, 100% of the housing units qualify as affordable and 100% of the funds would benefit lower income persons. ❑ No more than 15% can be spent on activities that provide public services. No funding for services is recommended. If the Council does decide to fund services, then the 15% maximum would be $15,913 of the $106,088 allocation Recommend approval of the resolution allocating the city's 2015 CDBG funds to the deferred home improvement loan program. 6.2 The Mayor will open a public hearing to receive comment and consider a new off- sale liquor license for Samarani Liquor, LLC d/b/a Maddie's Discount Liquor located at 5924 West Broadway. There is nothing in the background to prevent issuance of the liquor license for 5924 West Broadway. Recommend approval of the off sale liquor license. 7. OPEN FORUM (Open forum is an opportunity for persons in attendance to address the Council regarding items of concern. Each person will be allowed three minutes to speak and no items may be addressed for more than ten minutes. No Council action may be taken on any items brought before the Council on Open Forum. The Council may place items brought before it on Open Forum in agendas for subsequent Council meetings and staff reports may be required.) Crystal City Council Meeting Agenda February 17, 2015 8. REGULAR AGENDA 8.1 The Council will consider appointing Joseph Selton to the Ward 2 vacancy on the Planning Commission for a three-year term expiring December 31, 2017. The Interview Committee recommends the appointment of Joe Selton to the Planning Commission. 8.2 The Council will consider appointing James Einfeldt-Brown to the Ward 4 vacancy on the Planning Commission for an unexpired term expiring December 31, 2016. The Interview Commission recommends the appointment of James Einfeldt- Brown to the Planning Commission. 8.3 The Council will consider a resolution ordering the preparation of a Feasibility Study for the 2015 Alley Reconstruction Project #2015-07. This year's alley reconstruction project, Phase 8, is in the Welcome Park neighborhood and includes 4 deteriorated alleys between 47th and 48tn, between Welcome and Zane Avenues. Recommend approval of the resolution ordering preparation of the feasibility study for this project. 8.4 The Council will consider a resolution authorizing the purchase of the Public Works Fuel Station. The new Public Works facility includes a fueling station. The cost of this feature is included in the total project cost but is not part of the construction contract awarded to the building contractor. Recommend approval of the resolution authorizing the purchase of the fueling station. 8.5 The Council will consider a resolution authorizing the purchase of the Public Works Mechanical Lifts and Lubrication System. The new Public Works facility includes mechanical lifts and a lubrication system for city vehicles. The cost of this equipment is included in the total project cost but is not part of the construction contract awarded to the building contractor. Recommend approval of the resolution authorizing the purchase of the mechanical lifts and lubrication system. 8.6 The Council will consider first reading of a zoning ordinance amendment to allow impound lots as a conditional use in the I-1 district. North Suburban Towing ("NST") operates an impound lot at 5170 West Broadway and is a lawfully nonconforming use. The Burlington North Santa Fe and Canadian Pacific railroads are proposing a connector track through NST's current location. NST would like to relocate to another industrial location in Crystal and has applied for a zoning ordinance text amendment to Crystal City Council Meeting Agenda February 17, 2015 allow impound lots as a conditional use in the I-1 Light Industrial district. At its February 9 meeting, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed amendment and recommended approval of the ordinance amending the code to allow impound lots as conditional uses in the I-1 district. 8.7 The Council will consider a resolution regarding the proposed Canadian Pacific- Burlington Northern Santa Fe freight connector track in the 5100 block of West Broadway. As the Council is aware, there are discussions about a connection between the Canadian Pacific and Burlington Northern tracks. This has significant negative consequences for public safety and emergency services, as well as community quality of life. The proposed resolution is modeled after one being introduced in the Minnesota House and Senate this session. Recommend approval of the resolution. 8.8 The Council will consider first reading of an ordinance amending Section 1175 regarding secondhand goods dealers. Section 1175 regulates secondhand goods dealers and has requirements regarding location and reporting.

The Adequate General Fund Policy calls for a fund balance of at least $6,623,960. An additional year-end transfer of $600,000 to the Major Building Replacement fund will be made. General Fund — Reductions in Department Budgets Administration. The department under spent its budget for LOGIS services and supplies.

This was done in an effort to spend the remaining cash in 2014 so that the fund could be closed. All cash was not spent, so the fund remains open. 5.4 City Initiatives Fund Program activities were higher than anticipated, mostly in the areas of the Canine Unit and Police Explorers. Expenditures exceeded the budget by $6,500. This was partially covered by higher revenues and partially from fund balance. Special Projects Fund Program activities were higher than anticipated, mostly in the areas of the traffic enforcement programs. Crystal also served as the pass-through agency for a Hennepin Youth Sports Grant going to Armstrong Cooper Youth Baseball. Expenditures exceeded the budget by $13,600. This was partially covered by higher revenues and partially from fund balance. Capital Projects Funds: Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund The purchase of play equipment for Bassett Creek Park planned for 2015 required a down payment in order to receive a matching grant. Expenditures exceeded budget by $63,000 for this item. Expenditures exceeded budget by $30,000 for the PIR as a whole. Major Building Replacement Fund An additional transfer of $600,000 is being made from the General Fund. Police Equipment Revolving Fund Higher than anticipated costs were incurred for mobile radios.

Some work anticipated to be completed in 2013 was done in 2014 instead. Expenditures in 2014 were $202,000 higher than the budget.

When renters ha�e pxoblems involving their homes, those who don't know their righis and responsibilities can end up living in housing that is unsafe, lose money that is rightfiil�y theirs, or make decisions that cost them their hame. HOME Line provides renters with the tools necessary to keep their ha�nn.es safe and affordable. HOME Line runs a tenant hotline that provides free Iega1 advice ta tenants about lar�dlord/tenant law. These ser�ices help prever�t prablems ranging from homelessness ta illness from unsafe living conditions, and result in reducing the use of the city's emergency resources. These services prevent problems ranging from homelessness to illness from unsafe living conditions, and result in reducing the use of the city's emergency resources.

In 2014, we assisted 1�3 Crystal renter housek�alds, prevented the evictions af 14 families, and saved Crys#al renter families an estimated $16,147. The most common reasons Crystal residents call our hotline are repairs, and security deposits, and repairs. There are �,398 Spanish speaking and 531 Sub-Saharan Africans, the vast majority of whom are renters. Tn 2014, HOME Line added Somali and Spea.king advocates to reach out to these immigrant populations in their own language.

The Bonfire KidPack program ser+res children preschool through grade fi�e who are ki�ing in po�erty--a requirement for consideration of CDBG funds and who are residing or going to school within the City of C rysta I. One in five households in Minnesota are food insecure. Oftentimes these households have to make difficult decisions between purcfiasing food and paying for mor�gage or medicine. O�er 40� of the individuals ser�ed at food shelves are children. Hungry children face unnecessary barriers as they stri�e to become healthy, productive and engaged members af society. Hunger can contribute to increased �isits to the school nurse, beha�ior reports and poor attendance. Food shel�es cannot fight hunger alone. School stafF report that oftentimes children li�ing in po�erty come to schoal on Monday mornings seeking out food. Many children have either skipped meals o�er the weekend or simply did not get enough ta eat. KidPack is a local community-wide initiative to combat wee[cend hunger. Bonfire has an annual KidPack budget of $70,000. Bonfire respectfully requests consideration of this request for $5,000 of Crystal's Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant funding for the KidPack initiative at Forest and Meadow Lake �fementary schools and the Family Lit program (ser�ing English Language Learners].

Weekend KiciPack Program Is this an existing CDBG-funded program? No. 2 6.1 Where is the program focated? KidPack is assembled at The Food Group, locaied in New Hope. KidPack is then deli�ered by The Food Group warehouse staff to Meadow Lake Elementary, Farest Elementary and the preschool students at the Sandburg Family Lit program Custodians deliver the KidPack bins to the ckassrooms where students pick up a bag on their way out the door on Fridays. What is the ser�ice area of this program? Bonfire Ministry is a non-profit formed by initially three congregations who wanted to collecti�ely hetter serve the cvmmunity. Bon#ire KidPack program directly serves preschool and elementary students through grade fi�e, living in po�erty and attending Meadow Lake Elementary (New Hopej and Farest Elementary (Crystal) and the preschool students who accompany their parents learning English and parent education in the Farnily Lit. pragram at Sandburg Learning 5chool (formeriy located at Winnetka Learni�g Centerj. Each elementary school within fto�binsdale Area 5thools has a KidPacEc partner or partners who ha�e adopted the students at that schobl and pro�ide KidPacks to students. Parents are notified and either opt-in or opt-out of the KidPack program. For schools with high paverty, the entire school is offered KidPack and parents have the choice of opting out of participation. This whole-schoo� approach helps to remove stigma to families living in po�erty. In addition, at high pa�erty schools, many families are s�ightly abo�e the income guidelines for the Federal Free & Reduced Lunch program, meaning they stil! aftentimes struggle to put food on the table. Who is the targeted clientele? Children in po�erty, preschool through grade 5. What need does this program address? Direct need: Basic need of foad for our youngest citizens. lndirect need: 5upparts for academic success; improved sense of helonging for studenis and �olunteers involved in KidPack. Is the need grawing? Steady for the past four years with slight iricrease in need. With all-day kindergarten and the addition of preschool Great Start program this schoal year, the number of students participating in KidPack has increased. How does the program address these needs? Federal school breakfast, lunch and snack programs address children's needs for foad during the school day. Food shel�es have a great demand and cannot address all childhood hunger needs alone. 5ome families cannot get to food shelves. School staff report while many families qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch, many more families are just barely abo�e the income criteria. Many families accessing faad shelves and participating in Federal Free & Reduced l.unch program are the working poor -- oftentimes warking two jobs. Families who are food insecure aftentimes ha�e to cl�oose between paying the mortgage, medical bills, transportation costs or putting food on the tahle. Children who li�e in food insecure hornes oftentimes face unnecessary barriers as th�y strive to became healthy, producti�e and engaged members of society. Many children in food insecure �3 6.1 homes skip meals or do not ha�e enough food to eat on the weekends. School staff re�ort Monday mornings as a time when children come to them IaokEng for food right away. Hungry children often face additiona! barriers to schaal success. Hunger can contribute to increased �isits to the schoo! nurse, attendance and behavior and academic concerns. K9dPack helps address weekend hunger. In addition, the KidPack bags often contain flyers with infarmation on additional community resources such as Fare For Ali, insurance supports, Adult Academic Programming, medical and health resources in the communiiy, Hennepin County health rnessaging -- all providing additiona! connections for families experiencing financial difFiculties. KidPack addresses an immediate response for one af life's basic needs — nutrition. KidPack sends a message to our youngest citizens of, "We care about you" and "We know what to do." One schovl started a"Pay It Forward" program. For e�ery time they felt someone cared about them, they wduld pay it forward three times. KidPack was recognized bythis school (Meadow Lake) as one of the programs where students felt the community cared about them. Robbinsdale Area 5chools, the Redesign Family Service Collahorati�e and the KidPack program were recagnized in 2012 with a Humphrey Institute Government Innovation award for an innovative way schools are brea[cing down barriers and working with community partners (faith communities included) to address a local community need. Haw many persons were ser�ed by this program in the last 12 months? During calendar year 2014, Bonfire Ministry ser�ed 1,z71 unduplicated families by pro�iding 34,317 KidPacks to students at Meadow Lake, Farest and the preschvolers enroiled in the �amily Lit program at 5andburg Learning Center (formerly lacated at Winnetka Learning Center). �ach KidPack bag costs $2.00. The iotal KidPack food expenditure for the last calendar year was $68,634. What is your goal for the number of persons served July 1, 2015 — June 3D, 2016? With integrated re�enue streams, Bonfire Ministry projects servir�g 1,280 unduplicated students from 5eptember 1, 2015 through .fune 3�, 2016. The Bonfire KidPack budget for the 2015-2D16 school year is $70,000. Integrated funding sources will allow Bonfire to continue to pro�ide KidPack three Fridays a month to approximately 1,280 undupiicated families (34,560 KidPack bags for the school yearJ to students at Meadow Lake, Forest and the preschoolers at the Family Lit program. What percentage of your ckients are [or are estimated to bej Iow and moderate-income persons? CDBG requires at least 51%. The Federal Free and Reduced Luneh program is one indicator of poverty. Currently there are 604 students enroiled at Forest Efementary, located in Crystal, MN. 57.5% of students enrolled a� �orest participate in the Federal School Lunch program. Of the 604 students currently enroiled at Forest Elementary, 2fi5 reside within the city of Crystal and 283 live within the city of New Mope. Currently there are 597 students enrolled at Meadaw Lake Elementary (located in New Hope). 75.7% of all students currently enralled at Meadow Lake participate in the Federal 5chool Lunch program. Ofthe 597 students currently enrolled at Meadow Lake Elementary, 13.5 reside within the city of Crystal and 3fi3 resid� within the Cifiy of New Wope. �'he Family Lit program enrollment varies throughout the year.

Bonfire has demanstrated success in sustainabifity and growth thraugh fihe demands of the community and the passion of the board of directors and community members. FinancialCapacity: Bonfire's financial commitrnent to KidPack is substantial.

Bags are purchased as cost from Trio bag company in North Minneapolis. The Food Group (food hank in New Hope} donates their warehouse for ordering and storing food at the warehouse. On-staff Food Grvup nutritivnist works with the Food Group purchaser to obtain food which meets 1/3 daily nutritional content for children. Over 6fl �olunteers attend monthly to assem�le the KidPacks at The Food Graup. The Food Group warehouse employees deii�er the bins to schools on Fridays. Schools accept the pallets of KidPack bins on Fridays and deli�er to the rooms. Studenis take home bags on Fridays. The KidPack project has another un-intended outcome -- that of socialization and an increased sense of helonging to their community. Describe how the acti�ity meets a need nat currently or adequately being addressed by other services: Federal food programs meet the needs of hungry children while they are at schaol. Food shel�es do a great job of assisting families witi� food. This oftentimes is not enough for families.

The goal is to rebuild all the alleys in the city over a ten year period. The proposed 2015 project is shown on the attached location map. The project would reconstruct three existing deteriorated asphalt alleys located between and parallel to Welcome, Xenia, Yates and Zane Avenues, and between 47th and 48th Avenues. All in the Welcome Park Neighborhood. The feasibility study will evaluate the cost and benefit of replacing the existing alley with a concrete "V" section alley. Besides replacing the pavement, the project will improve drainage, and offer a driveway reconstruction and sanitary sewer repair program to interested property owners. To date, the financing policy has been 40% of the project is paid by the Storm Drain Utility because the new alleys act as surface conduits for storm water runoff, and the remaining 60°/a is paid by special assessments to the adjoining benefitting property owners. This assessment has ranged from approximately $1,250 to $1,620 over the previous eight projects. In order to keep the project on schedule for 2015 construction, it is necessary to prepare the feasibility study, conduct a neighborhood meeting, and then have the public hearing to order the project. The neighborhood meeting is scheduled for Thursday, February 26 at City Hall. If the Council accepts the feasibility study at the March 17 council meeting, the public hearing to order the project would be scheduled for the May 5 meeting. It is recommended that the Council adopt the attached resolution, ordering the preparation of the feasibility study by the Engineering Department.

BACKGROUND North 5uburban Towing ("NST") operates an impo�and lot at 5170 West Broadway. The zoning ordirtance does not allow impound lots but NST is lawfully nonconforming which means it may remain in pkace but car�not expand or relocate to another site in Crystal. The Burling�on North Santa Fe and Canadian Pacific railroads are prapasing a connector �rack �hrough NST's current locat+on. NST wauld iike to relocate to another industrial location in Crystal anci therefare has applied for a zoning ordinance text amendmen# to allow impound lots as a conditional use in the I-1 Light Ind�striai district. No#ice of the Planning Commission's February 9 pubiic hearing was published in the Sun Pos# on January 29. No camments ha�e been recei�ed to date, and no one apart from NST and Po{�ce Chief Stephani� Re�ering testified at #he public hearing. The Planning Commission �oted 5-0 fo recommend adopt�on of fhe �roposed text amendment aitached as Exhibit C. The �ollawing Exhibi#s are attached: A. Narrative submitted by NST B. Aerial photos showir�g NST's curre�t iacation C. Proposed ordinance amendment drafted by staff D. Crystaf zoning map showing general lacation of north and south industr�al areas E. Zoning map excerpts and aerial photos showing poten#ial locations in detail PAGE 1 OF 3 : ., B. STAFF COMMENTS The purpose of the I-'f Ligh# Industrial district is to pro�ide for light industrial de�elopment such as warehousing and manufacturing, with office and retail allawed as limited accessory uses. The city's zoning ordinance does not ha�e a heavy industrial district because there is no existing h�a�y industry in the city and the I-1 district regulations allow a wide range of uses either as permitt�d ar conditional uses. Howe�er, impound lots are not a permitted ar conditionai use in Crystal, which is not unusual in a ful�y developed, predominantly residential suburb. For example, the ad�acent cities of Brooklyn Center, Robbinsdale and Golden Valley similarly do not allow impound fots. Howe�er, New Hope and Brooklyn Park do allow them in their general industrial districts with a CUP. The proposed ordinance drafted by staff and recommended by the Pfanning Commission is attached as Exhibit C. 1. The following cansiderations could serrre as the Council's findings for amending the ordinance: a. There are sma11, isolated pockets of tf�e c�ty's I-4 district that have the feel of a mare general industrial area. Rather than create an I-2 distric#, the city can accommodate a wider range of uses, such as impound lots in this case, by adding them as conditional uses with standards and requirements designed to protect the other praperties in the I-1 district and the community as a whole. b. Impound lots are an esser�tial s�rvice for law enforcement and there is r�o guarantee that an impound lot would be granted a CUP to locate in New Hope or Brooklyn Park. There is the potential for increased costs ta the Crystal Police Department if there is na towing company located in ar close to Crystal. c. This ordinance change is a reasonable response to the proposed #aki�g af property by the railroad. d. Impound lots would only be allowed in very kimited locations. 2. If the Council chooses to not amend the ordinance, then following considerations could be used as findings to deny the appiication: a. Crystal's curreni 1-'i district regulations are intended to encourage uses with a higher density of employment and property value than an impound lat. This is reasonable and appropria#e in a fully developed suburb with limited industrial land ar�d a n�ed for a more balanced resident-to-jobs ratio. b. New Hope and Broaklyn Park are adjacent cities with m�ch more industrial property than Crystal. Their current ordinances a�ready alEow impound lots by CUP. Crystal �oes not need to change its ordinance �or impound lots to be able to locate in and pro�ide service to this part of the metro area. PAGE20F3 : ., c. It is unfortunate that the railroad may farce NST to move and Iose its nonconforming use status, but it is not the city's obiigation to change its orc��nance to lessen the impacts of the railroad's connector frack an existing properties. d. Th�s ordinance change would open up Crystal to any impound 1ot not just NST. C. REQUESTED ACTlON At its February 9 meeting the Planning Commissior� voted 5-0 for approval of the ordinance attacheci as Exhibit C. If t�ere is a motion to appro�e first reading, then it sl�ould incl�de by referer�ce #he cons�derations in S�ction B-1 of this staff report, or other find�ngs as desired. The anticipated schedule would be as #allows: February 17 City Cour�cik (first readin�) March 3 City Council (second reading & adoption) March 12 Publication of th� ordinance amendment {if adopted) April 11 Effective date per City Charter (if adopted) If ti�e zoning ordinance is amended, t�en NST anticipates submiiting a CUP application fo� a sp�ci�ic site. A site-spec�fic notice would be published and mailed at that time. If there is a motion to deny the applicatian, then it shauld include by reference the considerations in Seciion B-2 of this staff report, or other findings as desired. Council action is requested. PAGE' 3 OF 3 : ., North Suburban Tawing Relocation North Suburban Towing has heer� notified that the Canadian Pacific Railway will be a�quiring the prflperty at 5170 West Broadway, North Suburban Towing's eurre�t location. The railroad has given no specific tim�line other than this acquisition may take place any time in the next 60 days to two years. North Suburban Towing has provided towing and police impound services for o�er 40 y�ars. The following police agenci�s currently rely on North Suburi�an Towing for service at the Crystal lacation: - Crystal Police Department - Robbinsdale Police Department - NEw Hope Police Department - Golden Valley Police Department - Brooklyn Center Polite Qepartment - MN State Patrol - Hennepin County Sheriff's d�partrnent North 5uburban Towing is looking to relocate within Crysta! due to the cur�ent office and lot space beir�g taken by the railroad. A change to current city cade is bein� requesteci to allow North Suburban Towing to remain in Crystal. The proposed location for this relocation is 5128 Hanson Court. The Hanson Court property is ideal for the North Suburban Towing relocation for the following rea$ons: - This property has been �acant for a lo�g time and would now be used and maintained. - This praperty is not near any residential areas - This �roperty is not clearly visible by any major roadways within Crystal.

Peters, Community Development Director �1 �� li' TO: Anne Norris, City Manager (for February 17, 2015 City Council Meeting) DATE: February 10, 2015 RE: Proposed resolution petitioning the SurFace Transportation Board to require an Environmental Impact Statement for proposed CP-BNSF rail connection in Crystal BACKGROUND In mid-November Crystal staff learned from affected property owners and an acquisition consultant working on behalf of Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) that the BNSF and Canadian Pacific (CP) railroads are proposing to construct a connector track in the southwest quadrant of their "diamond" crossing in Crystal. Exhibit A illustrates the vicinity of the proposed connection, and Exhibit B is an engineered illustration provided by BNSF that shows the impacts of the connection on existing businesses in Crystal. BNSF representatives confirmed that the connection will bring a significant increase in the frequency of heavy freight trains on the BNSF line through Crystal, extending into Robbinsdale, Golden Valley and Minneapolis. BNSF representatives stated that the pending agreement with CP does not include restrictions on the type of freight to be moved on the BNSF track and that they are aware that Bakken oil is among the cargo currently being shipped on the CP. Dozens of heavy freight trains currently run on the CP each day. According to BNSF, those trains can be between 1-2 miles in length. BNSF representatives did not speak for CP when asked what percentage of CP trains would be diverted to the BNSF at the connection. Today, east-west running CP trains block 2 intersections in Crystal: Douglas Drive and West Broadway. When this occurs emergency responders can rely upon Corvallis Avenue to provide access to Bottineau Boulevard and the northern one-third of the city, as illustrated in Exhibit C. With the proposed rail connection, a freight train of only 4,000 feet (3/4 mile) in length diverted from the CP to the BNSF would simultaneously close all four of the at-grade crossings in Crystal (Douglas Drive, West Broadway, Corvallis Avenue and again at West Broadway), thereby eliminating access to Bottineau Blvd and the northern one-third of the city of Crystal. Exhibit C also illustrates how a mile-long train diverted to the BNSF would close the 45'/2 Avenue crossing in Robbinsdale simultaneously with Crystal's four crossings. As a result, all crossings between Winnetka Avenue in New Hope and Highway 100 in G:\BNSF-CP Connector Track�2015.02.17 Staff Report_Council Resolution Petitioning STB for EIS.docx Robbinsdale, a track distance of 2'/4 miles through a fully developed urban area, would be closed by a single mile-long train. The simultaneous closing of these at-grade crossings will significantly impede access for residents and businesses and extend Crystal's primary emergency vehicle response times on calls to the northern one-third of the city, which includes Crystal's major commercial and business activity center. First responders heading north to a call would be forced to turn around and backtrack to either Winnetka Avenue in New Hope or Highway 100 in Robbinsdale because the current Corvallis "escape route" to Bottineau Boulevard would be closed by the same train. in addition to impeded emergency response times, significant increases in noise and vibration can be expected for businesses and residences in close proximity to the BNSF. The City's legal counsel have advised that the proposed rail connection is not subject to any local, county or state permitting or review processes; and MnDOT staff indicates that their role is to simply assess grade crossing safety. Nevertheless, a thorough environmental review process including an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is essential to fully understand the impacts of the proposed connection. The U.S. Department of Transportation's Surface Transportation Board (STB) is responsible for issuing a certificate of authorization for such a connection and directs any environmental review process. If the STB determines that an EIS is required, that process would include publication of the EIS and a public comment period that would provide for community and citizen input on the project. BNSF representatives stated in the meeting with Crystal staff that they are seeking a "class exemption" and that their in-house attorneys have advised that they need to acquire the properties necessary for the connection before filing with STB. City staff believes this is a strategy for BNSF to evade the normal federal requirement for an EIS, thereby reducing or eliminating consideration of the impacts on the communities along the BNSF line. BNSF is taking a significant financial risk by buying property before filing anything with STB, which suggests BNSF is aware that the impacts of the connection will be significant and want to avoid an environmental and public review. Completion of an EIS for this proposed project is critical so that the connection may be scrutinized by citizens, businesses and stakeholder agencies in light of the potential for significant adverse impacts on the environment, neighborhoods and emergency service response times. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Crystal City Council adopt the attached Resolution (Exhibit C) petitioning the SurFace Transportation Board to require an Environmental Impact - ----- - Statement for-the-proposed-rail-proje�t.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk for the City of Crystal is directed to prepare copies of this Resolution and transmit them to the Chairman of the Surface Transportation Board, Minnesota's Senators and Representatives in the United States Congress, and Crystal's Senators and Representatives in the Minnesota Legislature. Approved by the City Council of the City of Crystal this 17th day of February, 2015 Jim Adams, Mayor ATTEST: Chrissy Serres, City Clerk : / Memorandum f_'ll Y' uf CKi Sl'r►J. DATE: February 11, 2015 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Anne Norris, City Manager (;�,C�'4-� Chrissy Serres, City Clerk SUBJECT: Section 1175 — Secondhand Goods Dealers BACKGROUND: Staff has had discussions with a local business who wants to open an appliance sales store in which some new but mostly refurbished appliances will be sold. There would be no consignment and the public wouldn't be able to drive up with their old appliances and sell them. The business owner is planning to purchase refurbished appliances from a local appliance dealer and purchase refurbishable appliances from property management companies, etc. In reviewing Section 1175, it appears that this proposed use would be required to get a secondhand goods dealers license and be subject to the limitations of such a business. Secondhand goods dealers are also limited to property that is appropriately zoned and such uses may not be located within 300 feet of a school or church. Additionally, there are recordkeeping and daily reporting requirements for such uses. Based on a work session discussion, it appears this was not the intent of this portion of the City Code. Attached is an ordinance amending Section 1175 to exclude this type of use from the secondhand goods dealers requirements. RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval of the first reading of the ordinance amending Section 1175 regarding secondhand goods dealers.

In September 2014 the EDA authorized the purchase of this property for a price not to exceed $25,000. Staff negotiated a $20,000 price with the county and the closing is expected to occur by the end of February. On the back of the property there are some garden encroachments, a misaligned fence and a shed under a power line. These improvements were built by the prior owner of 4724 Lakeland but have since been taken over to some degree by the adjacent neighbors at 4725 and 4733 Regent. The presence of these improvements, and the visual encroachment they represent, is one of the factors that may have made it difficult for the county to sell the lot. As an alternative to clearing out this area, staff has explored the possibility of replatting 4724 Lakeland to create two outlots to be sold to the respective owners on Regent. The prices would be $3,749 from the owner of 4725 Regent for Outlot A and $2,266 from the owner of 4733 Regent for Outlot B. This would cover the additional costs related to reptatting the property and the reduced value of the 4724 Lakeland lot due to its reduced size when it is sold for new home construction. The EDA discussed this alternative on January 20 and both homeowners have expressed their desire to purchase the outlots. The following Exhibits are attached: A. Proposed resolution authorizing the sale of Outlot A to the owner of 4725 Regent B. Proposed resolution authorizing the sale of Outlot B to the owner of 4733 Regent C. 2012 aerial photo including enlargements with current and proposed lot lines marked D. December 16, 2014 survey E.

For residential property, EDA activities generally involve using voluntary acquisitions to replace blighted, structurally substandard or functionally obsolete houses; or providing assistance to homeowners to help them make improvements to their houses. Multi- family and commercial/industrial redevelopment are typically accomplished in larger, more complex projects made possible by a combination of different funding sources; they also sometimes require participation by multiple government agencies, non-profit organizations and businesses. As in previous years, the EDA recommended and the Council approved an EDA levy to provide funding for redevelopment activities. The following are specific descriptions of 2014 EDA activities: 1. Sinqle Familv Residential - Scattered Site Redevelopment 6 lots were sold in 2013. As of December 31, 2014 three houses have been completed and sold, two are under construction and one is scheduled to start construction in 2015. a) Lots Sold in 2014: 1. 4326 Zane (acquired 2002) — house construction to occur in 2015 2. 5824 Regent (acquired 2008) — house under construction, for sale 3. 4349 Xenia (acquired 2012) — house under construction, has buyer 4. 4720 Douglas Dr (acquired 2012) — house completed & sold 5. 5335 Corvallis (acquired 2012) — house completed & sold 6. 5332 50t" (acquired 2012) — house completed & sold b) EDA Lots for Sale as of December 31, 2014: 1. 5626 Vera Cruz (acquired 2007) 2. 3533 Lee (acquired 2008) 3. 4331 Vera Cruz (acquired 2008) — sale pending to MT Builders 4. 5700 Regent (acquired 2009) 5. 5255 Edgewood (acquired 2009) 6. 5715 Regent (acquired 2009) PAGE 1 OF 4 2. 3. 4. 7. 4901 Vera Cruz (acquired 2009) 8. 6601 62"d (acquired 2012) 9. 5924 Elmhurst (acquired 2012) 10. 6526 45t" (acquired 2014) Lot sales from 1998-2014 are summarized in the attached Exhibits A(map) and B(chart), with detailed information about 2010-2014 lot sales in Exhibit C. Sinqle Familv Residential - Scattered Site Acquisition and Rehabilitation The EDA does not acquire and renovate houses because city-managed rehab projects are not a very cost-effective way of advancing the city's housing goals when compared with other approaches. Instead, the city utilizes a combination of regulatory tools, rehab incentives, and other agencies' programs to encourage home renovations by homeowners, investors, contractors and others in the private sector. Sinqle Familv Residential - Home Improvement Incentive Rebates In 1998, Crystal and four other communities partnered with the Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation (GMHC) to provide an incentive rebate for improvements to owner occupied homes. Households up to 120% of Twin Cities metropolitan area median income are eligible. Approximately 75% of program expenses are funded by available increment from expiring TIF districts and the other 25% are funded by the EDA levy. 99 Crystal homeowners used the rebate program in 2014. The expenditure history and approximate 2014 locations are shown in Exhibit D. The total and average 2014 rebates are as follows: TOTAL 2014 REBATES + $136, 392 AVERAGE 2014 REBATE + $1,378 TOTAL PAI D BY HOMEOWNERS $827,110 AVERAGE PAID BY HOMEOWNER $8,355 TOTAL COST OF ALL = 2014 PROJECTS $963,502 Sinqle Familv Residential — Communitv Fix-Up Fund AVERAGE COST PER 2014 PROJECT $9,733 The EDA and the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency provide an interest rate write-down for Community Fix-Up Fund home improvement loans. In 2014 there were 17 Crystal projects receiving a total of $48,170 from state funds and $37,535 in available increment from Crystal's expiring TIF districts. PAGE20F4 5. Sinqle Familv Residential — Deferred Home Improvement Loans Since 1982, Crystal has used part of its federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation to provide interest-free home improvement loans to low income homeowners (up to 50% of regional median income). Repayment is deferred for 15 years and then forgiven if the recipient continues to own and occupy the property throughout that time. Homeowners from 50%-80% of regional median income are also eligible but those loans are interest-bearing. Hennepin County administers this program for Crystal and eight other cities (Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Edina, Hopkins, Maple Grove, New Hope, Richfield and St. Louis Park). Crystal's 2014 CDBG allocation was $107,956 and 100% was allocated to this program. In addition to the allocation, the program also recaptures previously loaned funds in cases where the homeowner sells or moves out within the 15 year term. This means that available funding fluctuates within and between each year. Demand for the program also fluctuates, meaning that eligible projects must sometimes be put on a waiting list until the next round of funding becomes available. The twelve months ending September 30, 2014 were unusually active. $106,000 was spent and $199,000 was committed for projects. Eight projects were started, two projects were completed and one property is on the waiting list. Of the eight other Hennepin County cities with similar programs, only Richfield had more activity than Crystal. 6. Multi-Familv Residential Redevelopment The Cavanagh (5401 51St Avenue North). In October 2012 the EDA acquired the 8.3 acre Cavanagh property from Robbinsdale Area Schools which had determined that it no longer needed the property. In December 2012 the EDA transferred the east 4 acres to the city for park purposes. In April 2013 the EDA completed the demolition of the school with funding from Metropolitan Council for asbestos abatement and Hennepin County for demolition. In June 2014 the EDA sold the west 4.3 acres to a private developer (Dominium) for construction of affordable senior housing ("The Cavanagh"). It will be a four story, 130 unit, age-restricted rental building addressed as 5401 51St Avenue North. Units will range from 1 BR-1 BA to 2BR-2BA and all units will be affordable to households at or below 60% of Twin Cities metropolitan area median income. Construction of The Cavanagh began in summer 2014 and completion is anticipated in fall 2015. The approved plan for The Cavanagh is attached as Exhibit E. 7. Commercial and Industrial Redevelopment No EDA-involved development activity in 2014. PAGE 3 OF 4 8. Land Bankinq for Future Redevelopment In addition to the more immediate redevelopment activities discussed in Section 1, the EDA also takes advantage of opportunities to acquire and hold property for future development. These parcels will be sold depending on market conditions, site characteristics and the status of adjacent properties. As of December 31, 2014 the EDA is hotding the following vacant parcels for future development: 1. 3240 Hampshire (acquired 2000) ■ Holding for future development of 32xx Georgia 2. 3556 Major (acquired 2002 - private donation) ■ Will add to "for sale" lot list in 2015 3. 3409 June (acquired 2003 - tax forfeit) ■ Holding for future development of 34xx June 4. 3122 Douglas Dr (acquired 2003) ■ Will add to "for sale" lot list in 2015 5. 5901 56t" (acquired 2008) ■ Holding until street reconstruction in 2016-2017 6. 4824 56th (acquired 2009) ■ Holding until street reconstruction in 2016-2017 7. 4741 Welcome (acquired 2009) ■ Holding to see what happens with adjacent 4-plexes 8. 3401 & 3415 Douglas Dr (acquired 2009) ■ Will seek development proposals in 2015 9. 3443 Douglas Dr (acquired 2009) ■ Holding to see what happens with adjacent medical clinic 10. 5417 35t" (acquired 2010 from MnDOT) ■ Holding to see what happens with house at 5409 35th 11. 5565 Vera Cruz (acquired 2011 - tax forfeit) ■ Holding until street reconstruction in 2016-2017 12. 3354 Douglas Dr and 6213 34t" (acquired 2011) ■ Holding to see what happens with house at 3342 Douglas 13. 3443 Edgewood (acquired 2012 - tax forfeit) ■ Holding for future development of 34xx Edgewood A map of city and EDA-owned parcels as of December 31, 2014 is attached as Exhibit F.

ZC �1. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF CRYSTAL 2015 Work Proqram 1. Deferred Home Improvement Loans (administered by Hennepin County) $106,000 planned expenditures from Community Development Block Grant) This ongoing program is administered by Hennepin County and offers no-interest loans to Crystal homeowners below 50% of Twin Cities area median income ("AMI"). The anticipated funding level would typically allow four projects in Crystal per year, although this fluctuates from year to year depending on a number of factors. The loans are fully forgiven after 15 years provided the homeowner continues to own and occupy the property. If the homeowner sells or moves, then the loan becomes due and payable in full, and the recaptured funds go back into the program to assist other homeowners. Also available are deferred loans with a modest interest charge for homeowners between 50% and 80% AMI, but these are funded by other sources. The county's administrative costs are embedded within overall CDBG funding. 2. Home Improvement Incentive Rebates (administered by GMHC) $232,000 planned expenditures • $209,800 from TIF Housing Districts • $22,200 from EDA Fund This ongoing program offers a rebate for homeowners who complete home improvement projects. The program is administered by the non-profit Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation ("GMHC") at its Housing Resource Center located at 2148 44t" Avenue North in Minneapolis. Homeowners with household income less than 50% of Twin Cities area median income ("AMI") qualify for a 20% rebate, 50%-80% AMI qualify for a 15% rebate and 80%-120% AMI qualify for a 10% rebate. Households over 120% AMI are not eligible. The application must be made before beginning the project and the project must have a total cost of at least $2,000. No property may receive rebates totaling more than $10,000 in one year. Administrative fees paid to GMHC are 11 % of the rebates paid and the admin fees are included in the planned expenditures figure above. Please note that actual expenditures may be less than planned depending on program demand. Note: Twin Cities area median income ("AMI') was $82, 900 in 2014. PAGE 1 OF 3 3. Communitv Fix-Up Fund Interest Rate Buv-Down (administered by GMHC) $25,000 planned expenditures •$12,500 from Minnesota Housing Finance Agency • $12,500 from TIF Housing Districts This program writes down the interest rate for Crystal homeowners using Community Fix-Up Fund loans from GMHC's Housing Resource Center. Minimum loan is $2,000; maximum is $35,000. Maximum loan-to-value ratio is 110% of the after-rehab value. Maximum loan term is 10 years (for loans up to $10,000) or 20 years (for loans over $10,000). The interest rate, normally 5.75%, is discounted to 3%. Maximum household income is 80% of Twin Cities area median income ("AMI") for state funds and 115% AMI for the EDA's TIF funds. There are no administrative costs for the EDA. 4. Scattered Site Acauisition/Demolition and Lot Sales $110,000 planned expenditures from EDA Fund $140,000 planned revenues to EDA Fund This would be a continuation of the city's longstanding acquisition, demolition and lot sale program. The adopted budgets are based on two properties being acquired/demolished and three lots being sold for new house construction, although actual property purchases and sales would depend on market conditions and each transaction requires specific EDA board approval. As opportunities arise, additional property acquisitions may be authorized by the EDA using the fund balance. The initial 2015 lot notice is attached showing 2 pending sales and 9 lots for sale. The EDA expects to add the following lots to this "for sale" list in spring 2015: • 3556 Major Avenue North • 4724 Lakeland Avenue North • 3122 Douglas Drive North 5. Other Redevelopment a. The Cavanagh (5401 51St Avenue North). The EDA sold this 4.3 acre site to Dominium in June 2014 and construction on a four story, 130 unit, age-restricted apartment buitding is underway. Units will range from 1 BR- 1 BA to 2BR-2BA and all will be affordable to households at or below 60% of Twin Cities area median income. Completion is anticipated by fall 2015. b. 3401-3415 Douglas Drive North. The EDA intends to develop this 0.7 acre site at the northwest corner of 34t" and Douglas. After determining its desired development parameters, the EDA will issue a Request for Proposals from developers for the purchase and development of this site. Note: Twin Cities area median income ("AMI ") was $82, 900 in 2014. PAGE 2 OF 3 6. Redevelopment Fund Balance The EDA board may authorize expenditure of part of its fund balances during the year to respond to unforeseen opportunities. The amount available at any particular time cannot be predicted because the fund balance varies throughout the year depending on actual expenditures and revenue from unanticipated property sales. Note: Twin Cities area median income ("AMI') was $82, 900 in 2014.

For more information, please see the Request for Proposal packets which may be found by clicking on "EDA Lots for Sale" under "What's Happening" at www.crystalmn.qov. PAGE 1 OF 2 .�.-,rrn nnrnirin T� nnoTiri li A� I(1TC• GENERAL NOTES: The EDA considers proposals on a"first-come, first-served" basis. The EDA board retains absolute discretion to decide whether to accept any particular proposal or waive any of its guidelines. Proposals must be submitted by state-licensed builders who have built at least three houses in Minnesota in the last five years, or have equivalent experience acceptable to the EDA. The house may be built speculatively or for a specific buyer. If you would be the house buyer, then your builder must submit the proposal; and if the proposal is accepted, then the EDA would sell the lot to your builder. The new house must be an owner-occupied, single family house. It must have at least three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two-car garage (attached or detached, depending on the site). On a case-by-case basis, the EDA may also consider the sale of a lot to provide a new location for an existing house currently located in Crystal. The moved house would have to meet the general requirements described above, be brought up to current codes, and have a final value and long-term viability comparable to a new house. Builders may purchase a 6-month option on a lot for $500, renewable for an additional 6 months for an additional $500. The option provides the builder with exclusive rights to purchase the lot and build a house subject to the normal EDA requirements and guidelines. As a condition of the option, the builder must list the lot with a to-be-built house on the MLS for the duration of the option. The number of options is limited: The EDA will not approve additional options for a builder if they already have more than 10% of the EDA's lots under option, and no more than 50% of the EDA's lots may be under option at any time.

At a February 4�h meeting, BNSF representatives provided Crystal staff with the engineered drawing below that depicts the alignment of the connection, and they confirmed that the design speed of the curve is 25 mph. This is the first illustration of any kind received by the city despite the City's repeated requests of both BNSF and MnDOT Rail. 7 � i �, r < <f t ?',�i�-CJ/`xe" c �w , C' ; \ `� �, f � �� ! t �1�5�.

BNSF representatives confirmed that the connection will bring a significant increase in the frequency of heavy freight trains on the BNSF track in Crystal and e�ending through Robbinsdale, Golden Valley and Minneapolis. d. BNSF representatives stated that the pending agreement with CP does not include restrictions on the type of freight to be moved on the BNSF track and that they are aware that Bakken oil is among the cargo currently being shipped on the CP. e. BNSF acknowledged that currently only 2-3 trains make round trips/week on the BNSF and they are much shorter than those running on the CP. Dozens of heavy freight trains run on the CP each day; and according to BNSF, those trains can be between 1-2 miles in length. f. Currently, east-west running CP trains block 2 intersections in Crystal: Douglas Drive and West Broadway. When this occurs emergency responders can rely upon Corvallis Avenue to provide access to Bottineau Blvd and the northern one-third of the city, as seen below. ,,_ � ::�-. 4'1�(y > ' � r '' � Y `'I ��i �.�' u � i�i�K h d''�+ , ,.�,�� N � � � V �z�5¢s7 fr', �.. -r - Fl�' n,� g. With the proposed rail connection a freight train of only 4,000 feet (3/ mile) in length diverted from the CP to the BNSF would simultaneously close all four of the at-grade crossings in Crystal (Douglas Drive, West Broadway, Corvallis Avenue and again at West Broadway), thereby eliminating access to Bottineau Blvd and the northern one-third of the city of Crystal. Page 2 of 3 February 5, 2015 h. A mile-long train diverted to the BNSF would close the 45'/z Avenue crossing in Robbinsdale simultaneously with Crystal's four crossings. As a result, all crossings between Winnetka Avenue in New Hope and Highway 100 in Robbinsdale, a track distance of 2'/4 miles through a fully developed urban area, would be closed by a single mile-long train. The simultaneous closing of these grade crossings will significantly impede access for residents and businesses, and most importantly, extend emergency vehicle response times on calls to the northern one-third of the city, including Crystal's major commercial and business activity center. First responders heading north to a call would be forced to turn around and backtrack to either Winnetka Avenue in New Hope or Highway 100 in Robbinsdale because the current Corvallis "escape route" to Bottineau Blvd would be closed by the same train. j. With the proposed connection in place, significant increases in noise and vibration can be expected for businesses and residences in close proximity to the BNSF track. A thorough environmental review process including an Environmental Impact Statement is essential to fully understanding the impacts of the proposed connection. 2. The Permitting Process a. The City's legal counsel have advised that the proposed rail connection is not subject to any local, county or state permitting or review processes. b. MnDOT staff indicates that their role is to simply assess grade crossing safety. c. The U.S. Department of Transportation's Surface Transportation Board (STB) is responsible for issuing a certificate of authorization for such a connection and directs any environmental review process. d. If the STB determines that an Environmental Impact Statement is required, that process includes a public comment period to provide for community and citizen input on this project. e. BNSF representatives stated in a 2/4/15 meeting with Crystal staff that they are seeking a "class exemption" and that their in-house attorneys have advised that they need to acquire the properties necessary for the connection before filing with STB. The City believes that this is a strategy for BNSF to evade the normal federal requirement for an EIS thus reducing consideration of the impacts on the communities along the BNSF line. BNSF is taking a significant financial risk by buying property before filing anything with STB, which suggests BNSF is aware that the impacts of the connection will be significant. 3. MnDOT Rail Crossing and Safety Study MnDOT's safety study completed in December 2014 did not consider this proposed connector track or its impacts. Page 3 of 3
