Crystal City Council Meeting Agenda
June 16, 2015
7.6 The Council will consider first reading of an ordinance amending various sections
of Chapter XII of the City Code regarding the sale, consumption and display of
liquor and beer.
At its June 2 work session, the City Council discussed changes to Section
1200 of the City Code regarding liquor permitting for taprooms and the new
“Bloody Mary” law for Sunday sales. Recommend approval of the first
reading of the ordinance making these changes.
7.7 The Council will consider approval of a resolution requesting 6-lane restriping of
Bottineau Boulevard (CSAH 81) from 47th Avenue North to Wilshire Boulevard.
At its May 14 work session, the Council asked about restriping the four lane
segment of Bottineau to six lanes. The original 2010 construction agreement
for reconstruction of Bottineau Boulevard required Hennepin County to
maintain the 47th Avenue to Wilshire Boulevard segment as a 4-lane segment
for at leave 5 years after project completion, unless the city of Crystal
requests restriping to six lanes at an earlier date. Hennepin County is able to
do the restriping and signage and signal changes in 2015 at no cost to the
city but the City Council needs to request the change soon to get in this
year’s schedule. Recommend approval of the resolution requesting
Hennepin County restripe this segment of Bottineau Boulevard.

Lake Road Station Area Planning.
At its June 2 work session, the City Council discussed a Community Working

Planning Commissioners who live within half a mile of the proposed station,
and the four Blue Line Extension Business and Community Advisory
Committee members.
7.9 The Council will consider a resolution authorizing contract for Gaulke Pond
expansion study.
With the relocation of the Public Works facility later this year, a portion of the
current facility site in the flood plain will be vacated. It is appropriate to
consider studying the site for materials storage (currently in Bassett Creek
Park) and possible additional storm water storage. Recommend approval of
the resolution authorizing the study of this site.
