Memorandum
DATE: February 10, 2016
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Anne Norris, City Manager
SUBJECT: Task Force – Constitution Week
At its last work session, the City Council discussed a request Councilmember Parsons
received from a resident to create a task force committed to hosting a “Constitution
Week 2016.”
The resident has a small group of folks interested in planning and hosting a Constitution
Week event this year. Below is a series of emails from the resident outlining plans for
the event.
From January 2016:
Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop for what is happening for Constitution
Week 2016.
So far I have not heard any definitive answers from anyone about how they
would like to proceed. I need to hear from the city that there will be a task force
or what I need to do to start the task force (not just that it is a good idea) or I
need to hear from people that "Yes, I want to do something and here is my
contact information," so I can schedule meeting times. I have contacted my
contact from School District 281 and we will be meeting in February. I included
the e-mail I sent back in October 2015, just as a reminder of why I'm starting
things this early. Also my idea for the Theme for 2016 is:Arguments against the
Constitution- (1)Do we see any from the time of the founding that have come true
or (2)Which ones from the time of the founding are still going on today or (3)How
do today's arguments against the Constitution compare with those at the time of
its founding? (I haven't picked one yet) I am happy to discuss other topics as
well. I just want to get the ball started, so that no one is rushing to do things and
everything is a lot better planned out and publicized as much as possible.
From October 2015:
I'm looking to start a Constitution Week Task force for 2016. I want to do it
through a task force rather than a commission so that no one has to spend 3
years on a commission, working on a bunch of different things all because they
just want to be part of this one event. I spoke with Olga Parsons (Crystal section
2 rep) and Pat Frigerio (Robbinsdale Area Schools Community Education Youth
and Development & Adventure Club Program Assistant) and they are both on
board for doing another Constitution Week event in 2016 and creating a task
force to run it.
I know that the event itself is still months away, but the biggest complaint I have
heard with every event I've been involved with is that it does not have enough
publicity. That means we have to start recruiting now, so that we have people
and can start publicity planning in early 2016.
The deadline for getting into the summer 2016 "The Crystal Connection" is
March 2016. I assume that the deadline for school program publications and
anything other publications we want to be in are going to be similar. We want to
be in the summer publications, and perhaps the falls ones too, because the event
starts in the beginning of September and that's normally when the fall books
come out. We want people to already have Constitution week on their minds, so
that they are already planning to attend the event before the fall issues come out
and haven't already planned to do something else. Then if the event is in fall
issues, it reinforces promotion for the event.
So anything you guys can do to start recruiting efforts for people, including
yourselves, that may want to participate in this, that would be great.
The City Council agreed that it was interested in supporting the effort but that creation of
a task force was not necessary. The City Council also requested a brief discussion with
the organizer; Carolyn Maristany will be at the February16 work session for that
discussion.

5. 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.)
6. PUBLIC HEARINGS
6.1 The Mayor will open a public hearing to receive comment and consider a resolution
allocating 2016 Community Development Block Grant Funds.
Crystal receives approximately $95,000 in CDBG funds annually. These
funds are intended to assisted qualified low and moderate income residents
with specific programs. Historically, Crystal has used the majority of or all
its allocation to fund a deferred home improvement loan program for
qualifying households (less than 50% of area median income). Because there
is a consistent, on-going demand for the deferred home maintenance loans,
staff is recommending that the 2016 CDBG funds are again allocated to the
deferred home maintenance loan program. At this time, we have not received
any requests from any social service agencies requesting an allocation of
CDBG funds. Recommend approval of the resolution allocating Crystal’s
2016 CDBG funds to the deferred home maintenance loan program.
6.2 The Mayor will open a public hearing to receive comment on preliminary design
plans for the Blue Line Extension light rail transit project.
Blue Line Project staff will provide a brief presentation and overview of the
Blue Line project and project timeline. This hearing is to provide residents
the opportunity to comment on the project. The Council will not be asked to
consider formal action on municipal consent of the Blue Line project until its
February 29 meeting.
7. REGULAR AGENDA
7.1 The Council will consider 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.
Recommend approval of disbursements over $25,000.
7.2 The Council will consider a resolution approving a conditional use permit for
expansion of Forest Elementary School (6800 47th Avenue North).
The Robbinsdale School District is proposing the addition of 12,000 square
feet to the Forest School to accommodate 136 additional students.
Institutional uses in residential areas are permitted with conditional use
permits. A neighborhood meeting on the proposed expansion was held in
December and the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the
proposal at its February 8 meeting. The Planning Commission unanimously
Crystal City Council Meeting Agenda
February 16, 2016
recommended approval of the conditional use permit, subject to the
conditions outlined in the staff report.
7.3 The Council will consider a resolution approving the preliminary plat of Gardendale
Subdivision (32xx Georgia Avenue North) and a related variance.
SVK Development, owner of the properties in the proposed subdivision, is
proposing a preliminary plat which would create 10 single family lots on two
acres near Georgia and 32nd Avenues, between Florida and Hampshire
Avenues. SVK Development is also requesting a variance to reduce the
street width from the required 30 feet to 28 feet. A neighborhood open house
on the proposed subdivision was held on January 27. The Planning
Commission held a public hearing on the proposed plat at its February 8
meeting. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of
the preliminary plat and related variance for Gardendale Subdivision.
7.4 The Council will consider a resolution authorizing the PIR purchase of the parts
and labor necessary for the new Yunkers Park Shelter.
The 2016 PIR includes $45,000 for the construction of a picnic shelter at
Yunkers Park to replace the seldom used warming house currently in the
park. The Park Commission met with the neighborhood last summer and the
neighborhood supports this improvement. Recommend approval of the
resolution authorizing this purchase.

TO: Mayor and Council
Chrissy Serres, City Clerk
FROM: Kimberly Therres, Assistant City Manager/Human Resources Manager
SUBJECT: Resignation from Human Rights Commissioner Sandra Harb
I received the follwoing notice of Human Rights Commissioner Harb’s desire to resign
from the Human Rights Commission:
Dear Kim Therres, Mayor Adams, Anne Norris,
It is with regret that I am writing to inform you of my decision to resign my
position as Chair of the Human Rights Commission effective Friday, February 5,
2016. I have several reasons, one of which is the breakdown of the commission
and a lack of guidance leading to the breakdown.
I was happy to share our accomplishments with the Mayor and Council at the
work session in January. I am happy to see the Council working on an agenda
and goals with the commission for 2016. I am very proud of our
accomplishments and the hard work our volunteer members put into the
activities we took part in. I believe we met many of our goals with our limited
numbers of members. Although we had challenges at times, it has been a good
experience serving on the commission.
I can be available, if requested, to share any information with the new leadership
and members that will be appointed to this commission. I wish the best for the
new commission and hope they have an active working relationship with the
Council and Mayor in serving the City of Crystal.
Sincerely,
Sandra Harb
Please accept her resignation.

FROM: Dan Olson, City Planner
DATE: February 12, 2016
TO: Anne Norris, City Manager (for February 16 meeting)
SUBJECT: Consider adoption of a resolution approving a conditional use permit
to allow an approximately 12,000 SF building expansion at Forest
Elementary School located at 6800 - 47th Avenue North
A. BACKGROUND
Robbinsdale School District, property owner of Forest Elementary School, is proposing
a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow an approximately 12,000 SF building expansion
at the school located at 6800-47th Avenue North. The property is zoned Low Density
Residential (R-1).
The applicant is proposing to expand the capacity of the building from 568 students to
704. This would be accomplished by adding 10,835 SF of classroom and mechanical
room space to the building along 47th Avenue North and 965 SF of cafeteria space on
the north side of the building. According to City Code Section 515.33 Subd. 4 (b),
public institutional uses, such as the existing public elementary school, are a conditional
use within the R-1 zoning district. A CUP was approved by the City Council in 2004 to
construct this elementary school. Any expansion of that use also requires a CUP.
Notice of the February 8 public hearing was published in the Sun Post on January 28
and mailed to owners within 350 feet.

PAGE 2 OF 4
B. PROPOSED CONDITIONAL USE
The applicant is proposing to add approximately 12,000 SF of space to the existing
building in order to accommodate 136 more students. The applicant held a
neighborhood meeting on December 16, 2015, which was attended by the City Planner
and three area residents. The purpose of the meeting was to provide information on the
proposed project to property owners near the school. Attendees expressed a desire for
exterior lighting near the building entrance on 47 th to provide security, and that any trees
removed would be replaced. No one from the public spoke at the Planning Commission
public hearing on February 8, 2016.
Conditional Use Approval Criteria: City Code Section 515.33, Subd. 4(b) provides
requirements for public institutional uses as a conditional use in the R-1 zoning district.
The following are those requirements, followed by staff response.
1) Side setbacks shall be double that required for the district.
Response: According to the Zoning Code, this property is defined as a
corner lot. The side yards are both 47 th and 48th Avenues North, which
have a setback requirement of 10 feet. Double that setback requirement
would be 20 feet. The proposed building addition along 47th Avenue is
45 feet from the property line, and the building setback along 48th
Avenue is 120 feet.
2) The facility is served by arterial, collector or municipal state aid streets and
such pedestrian facilities as are necessary to accommodate the traffic
generated by the facility.
Response: According to the City’s Comprehensive Plan, 47th Avenue
North and Louisiana Avenue North are municipal state aid streets and
minor collector streets. The existing school is served by entrances and
exits on both 47th and 48th Avenues North. The City’s Public Works
Director and the West Metro Fire Rescue District have reviewed this
proposal and found it adequate to continue meeting vehicle movement
within the site, including fire trucks. The property is currently accessed
by sidewalks along 47th, 48th, and Louisiana. According to the City’s
Comprehensive Plan, there are no planned trails for this area.
3) The city council determines that all applicable requirements of subsection
515.05, subdivision 3 a) and section 520 are considered and satisfactorily
met. Section 515.05: 1) Consistency of the proposed use with the
comprehensive plan; 2) Characteristics of the subject property as they relate
to the proposed use; and 3) impact of the proposed use on the surrounding
area. Section 520 contains the requirements for a site plan.
Response: 1) The 2030 Comprehensive Plan land use designation for
this property is “Public Institutional (Low Density Residential)” and
7.2
PAGE 3 OF 4
“Public Institutional (Park)”. The existing school facility with its large
open space is consistent with these designations; 2) The property and
existing building are designed for a public institutional use with a great
deal of open space, and the school facility will continue to exhibit these
characteristics; 3) The property has been used for a public school for
many years, and will continue to be compatible with the surrounding
residential area. The proposed addition is in conformance with the
requirements of Section 520 of the zoning code, Site and Building Plan
Review.
C. NOTABLE SITE PLAN ELEMENTS
Parking - According to City Code Section 515.17, Subd. 5 (e), with the
proposed building addition at least 58 parking spaces are required for the
property. Currently, there are 125 parking spaces on the property. Therefore
the parking requirement is met and the applicant is not proposing to construct
additional parking.
Bus Loading and Unloading - Currently there are two bus loading and
unloading areas for the school. These areas are accessed off of 47th and 48th
Avenues North. The applicant is not proposing to alter these loading and
unloading areas to accommodate the additional students, but will adjust the
number of students loading and unloading at each area so that one area is not
used more than the other. The City’s Public Works Director, the West Metro
Fire Rescue District, and the Police Department have reviewed this school bus
circulation plan and found it adequate to continue meeting vehicle movement
within the site, including fire trucks. The City will continue to monitor the bus
pick and drop off areas to ensure bus traffic does not negatively impact the
surrounding residential area. Staff recommends making this a condition of
approval of the CUP.
Stormwater management – There is an existing stormwater detention basin
(“dry pond”) on the property which accommodates runoff before it is
discharged into the City’s storm sewer system. The applicant has provided
documentation that the existing basin is adequately sized to accommodate
the additional stormwater runoff for the building expansion.
Landscaping - The landscape plan shows that eleven trees will be removed
from the property to accommodate the building additions. Most of these trees
are less than 12” in diameter. However two maple trees, one 15” and the
other 13” in diameter, are proposed to be removed. According to City Code
Section 830.11, Subd. 2, a tree over 12” in diameter that is removed must be
replaced with either a tree that is at least 5” in diameter or two trees that are
at least 3” in diameter. The applicant will be planting eight “American Sentry
Linden” trees and three “Japanese Tree Lilacs”. Shrubs to be planted are
“techny arborvitae”. Since the applicant did not show correctly sized trees on
their landscape plan to meet the City’s tree replacement requirements, staff
recommends that the submittal of a revised landscape plan be made a
condition of approval of the CUP.
7.2
PAGE 4 OF 4
Exterior Elevations – The proposed addition will be constructed to match the
exterior building materials of the existing school.
Exterior Lighting – The applicant is proposing to add new exterior wall lighting
on the front building addition. This lighting will meet the City’s requirements.
Screening - The applicant is not proposing any new rooftop or ground
mechanical equipment that will need to be screened.
Signs – The applicant is not proposing any new additional signage on the
property.
D. REQUESTED ACTION
At the February 8, 2016 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission recommended
approval to the City Council of the CUP to allow an approximately 12,000 SF building
expansion to Forest Elementary School at 6800 – 47th Avenue North by a vote of eight
to zero (one member absent), subject to three conditions of approval. After the
Planning Commission meeting, the City’s Building Official requested that a fourth
condition be added, which is that the applicant would pay the required sewer availability
charge (SAC) prior to disturbing the site. The SAC fee is required by Metropolitan
Council for any new increase in sanitary sewer demand, such as would occur for a
building addition. The following are the recommended conditions of approval for the
CUP:
1. The relevant conditions from the 2004 CUP approval are still in effect.
2. The applicant will submit a revised landscape plan that meets the City’s
tree replacement requirements.
3. The City will monitor the bus loading and unloading areas to ensure that bus
circulation does not negatively impact the neighboring residential areas. The
City may require changes to these areas if it is determined that there is a
negative impact.
4. The applicant shall submit a request to the Metropolitan Council to determine
the sewer availability charge (SAC), and pay the City this fee prior to disturbing
the site for the building additions.
City Council motion to approve the proposed resolution (Attachment G) is requested.

DATE: February 12, 2016
TO: Anne Norris, City Manager (for February 16 meeting)
SUBJECT: Consider adoption of a resolution approving a preliminary plat and
variance for the Gardendale Subdivision
A. BACKGROUND
SVK Development, owner of properties involved in the Gardendale Subdivision,
is proposing a Preliminary Plat Application to create lots for 10 new single-family
homes on two acres. The preliminary plat is located near the intersection of
Georgia Avenue North and 32nd Avenue North, between Florida and Hampshire
Avenues North. All of the properties involved in this application are zoned Low
Density Residential (R-1). In addition to the preliminary plat, the applicant is also
requesting a variance to reduce the required street pavement width from 30 feet
to 28 feet.
Notice of the February 8 public hearing was published in the Sun Post on
January 28 and mailed to owners within 350 feet. At the Planning Commission
meeting on February 8, 2016, public comment centered around the stormwater
management plan for the proposed subdivision with concerns by meeting
attendees of how the development might impede storm drainage in the area.
Those concerns were addressed by the City Planner, Dan Olson, and the
applicant’s Engineer, Reid Schulz. After hearing public comment, the
Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval to the City Council of
the preliminary plat and variance.

Neighborhood Meeting
Prior to a neighborhood meeting on January 27, 2016, the applicant mailed a
notice to the 59 property owners within 350 feet of the proposed development.
The neighborhood meeting was attended by the developer’s engineer, the city
planner, the city engineer, and 18 residents from 12 households. There are ten
households directly adjacent to the proposed development, and seven of those
were present at the neighborhood meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to
provide information on the proposed project to nearby property owners. Questions
heard at the meeting related mostly to stormwater improvements and the impacts
to the neighborhood during home construction.
Correspondence and Public Comments
Attachment F is correspondence received by the City relating to the proposed
Gardendale Subdivision. The following is a description of this correspondence:
January 22, 2016 email from Walt and Kathleen McHenry, 3329 Florida
Avenue North and January 23rd response from Public Works Director/City
Engineer Mark Ray regarding questions they had about stormwater
management for the proposed plat.
February 5, 2016 email from Brandon & Meghan Gingerich, 3232
Hampshire Avenue North and February 8th response from City Planner Dan
Olson regarding miscellaneous questions/comments on the preliminary plat,
including timing of the community input meetings, rental property owned by
SVK, liability of SVK in the event of improvements not constructed properly,
width of the proposed street, possible assessments, soil conditions, and
impacts to wildlife.
February 9, 2016 email and attachment from Mindy Solomon, 3225 Florida
Avenue North, who was present at the February 8 Planning Commission
public hearing. Please see the February 11, 2016 memo from Public Works
Director/City Engineer Mark Ray (Attachment G) regarding stormwater
management. Mr. Ray will not be able to attend the February 16th City
Council meeting, so if the City Council has additional questions or concerns,
then it may continue this item until the February 29 meeting when Mr. Ray
will be available. Other (non-stormwater) questions raised by Ms. Solomon
are as follows:
Q: In February, 2015 when SVK Development or one of their sister
companies started to dig into the empty lot next to 3225 Florida, they
clipped our cable line resulting in Comcast to have to dig under our
driveway to reconnect the cable line. Per Comcast, SVK was going to
be charged for this expense. From discussions with someone from the
7.3
PAGE 3 OF 9
City, it turns out no permits were pulled to dig and there was a cease
order until the proper permits were obtained.
Response: SVK did conduct grading and soil correction work on this
property located at 3215 Florida Avenue North without a permit.
Upon learning of this, staff issued a Stop Work order on January 30,
2015. SVK secured the required permit on February 6, 2015. As of
March 18, 2015 the work was complete and erosion controls were in
place. The City had no involvement with the cut cable, and the
charge for this expense is a private matter between SVK and
Comcast.
Q: Two large trees were cut down with shards (can’t quite see here
w/the snow) shooting up. Major hazard as someone could get very hurt
from the sharp shards of wood. Called owners twice, no response.
Response: Staff has been in contact with SVK, and they have
agreed to remove the tree stumps at this property (3215 Florida
Avenue North). Staff recommends that the Council add an approval
condition that the shards be trimmed no later than February 26, 2016
(10 days) and the stumps be removed no later than May 16, 2016
(90 days).
Q: Mud was left several times after digging this spring, from what I
recently learned, this should have been cleared by SVK as this is a
violation sending muddy waters into the sewers.
Response: Erosion control measures were in place as of March 18,
2015 and no complaints have been received until now. Based on
this complaint, staff has checked a summer 2015 satellite photo and
it appears that erosion control had indeed failed by that time. Due to
the current season staff cannot address this now, but we will follow
up on this issue as soon as conditions permit.
Q: Our street is cracked due to heavy machinery used for the mound.
Who’s responsibility is it to fix it?
Response: Public Works has inspected Florida Avenue in front of
SVK’s property and determined that there is superficial damage to
the street that does not compromise the strength of the street. Public
works staff will address this issue as part of normal street
maintenance.
Q: Will this large tree be removed (she presented a photo of a tree
behind her property)? It is on the other side of my property line and
difficult to understand which trees are staying vs. cut down per the
plans. This tree is extremely close to the rain ditch and very mature. If it
7.3
PAGE 4 OF 9
fell, it would hit my house. As long as other trees are going to be
removed, requesting this one is added to the list.
Response: According to a property survey completed for the
applicant, the tree is located on Ms. Solomon’s property. SVK has
indicated they would be willing to work with Ms. Solomon to remove
the tree as they remove trees on their property. However, that
arrangement is a private matter between SVK and Ms. Solomon.
Comprehensive Plan
According to the Comprehensive Plan, the 2030 planned land use for these
properties is designated as Low Density Residential (LDR), with a maximum gross
density of 5 units per acre. The proposed single-family development, with its
proposed gross density of 4.96 units per acre, is consistent with this designation.
The Redevelopment chapter of the Plan identified these properties as a potential
redevelopment site:
“This is a possible infill site for new single-family houses or low density
townhomes. The area does have challenges related to fragmented
property ownership, wetlands and poor soils. The City’s EDA could take a
leading role in assembling the property for development, but this must be
weighed against the other priorities of the EDA at any given time. It is quite
possible that this potential infill site will remain in more or less its current
configuration for the foreseeable future” (page 43).
It should be noted that the application from SVK Development is completely
privately-initiated and the City’s Economic Development Authority has no role in
the proposed Gardendale Subdivision. Market conditions alone have caused SVK
to decide to subdivide its land into lots for 10 new single family houses.
Subdivision Design Features
The subdivision (plat) is called Gardendale Subdivision. The following are the
notable design features of this subdivision:
1. Zoning Requirements
Building setbacks – The proposed homes will meet the setbacks for the R-1
district, which are 30 feet for the front and rear yards, and five feet for the
side yard. For Lots 1 and 2, Block 2, the front setback is measured from
the cul-de-sac easement line which functions as a right-of-way/property line.
No part of the homes, including eaves, may be located within a drainage
and utility easement.
Lot size and area – The proposed lots meets the lot area, width, and depth
requirements of the R-1 district.
2. Street and Pedestrian Access
Street access – Four lots will have driveway access off of existing streets:
Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 will be accessed off of Hampshire Avenue North, and
Lots 5 and 6, Block 2 will be accessed off of Florida Avenue North. The
remaining lots will be accessed off of a new public street, an extension of
7.3
PAGE 5 OF 9
Georgia Avenue North. This street extension will extend northward to a cul-
de-sac. Some of the right-of-way for this street extension exists already,
and the rest will be dedicated through this platting process. The City will
have the applicant convey an easement for the cul-de-sac through an
easement agreement rather than a platted easement. Then if the street is
extended northward for future development, it will simply be a matter of
vacating the easement. Although the new street meets the City’s 60-foot
right-of-way width requirement, the applicant is requesting a variance to the
required street pavement width (see Section C, below).
Pedestrian connections – There is an existing bituminous trail on the west
side of Hampshire Avenue and an existing sidewalk on the south side of
32nd Avenue North. In 2016 Three Rivers Park District will reconstruct the
sidewalk on 32nd to an 8-foot wide bituminous extension of the Bassett
Creek Regional Trail.
Traffic impacts – According to the Comprehensive Plan, Hampshire Avenue
North and 32nd Avenue North are minor collector streets. These streets are
designed to provide access for neighborhoods to busier arterial streets such
as Douglas Drive and Winnetka Avenue. Traffic impacts to this area will be
minimal.
Curb cut for 6606 – 32nd Avenue North – The driveway access for this
address is currently off of 32nd Avenue North. With this new development,
the property owner has indicated an interest in closing the 32nd Avenue
access and instead accessing their property off of the new Georgia Avenue
North street extension. Staff has requested that SVK Development work
with the property owner to install a new curb cut for 6606-32nd Avenue North
while they are constructing Georgia Avenue North. Staff recommends this
be made a condition of approval of the preliminary plat.
3. Utilities
The proposed new homes on Hampshire and Florida Avenues North will
connect with existing water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer mains. New
service connections will need to be installed for the homes on Hampshire. The
following is a description of these existing mains:
Water main: Existing 6” main in Hampshire and Florida Avenues; 16” in
32nd Avenue
Sanitary sewer main: Existing 15” main in Hampshire and 32nd ; 8” in Florida
Storm sewer main: Existing 54” main in 32nd Avenue North
New mains will be installed in the extension of Georgia Avenue North to service
the lots accessed off of that street. The following is a description of the new
mains in Georgia Avenue:
Water main: Proposed 6” main
Sanitary sewer main: Proposed 8” main
Storm sewer main: Proposed 15” main
There are existing overhead utility lines in the rear yard of lots 5 and 6, Block 2
that would be located in a proposed 15-foot wide rear yard drainage and utility
7.3
PAGE 6 OF 9
easement. If those lines are relocated or extended, then the lines and
extensions must be buried underground. New private utilities, such as Xcel
Energy, Center Point Energy, and Comcast, will be buried underground. Under
no circumstances shall additional overhead utilities be installed, whether main
lines, feeder lines or service lines to the new houses. Staff recommends that
this be made a condition of approval of the preliminary plat.
4. Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control – Engineering staff has reviewed the
preliminary grading, drainage and erosion control plans and found them
acceptable. Test pits were dug by the applicant in January, 2016 and found
clay soils that the applicant determined are acceptable for the construction of
single-family housing.
The applicant has provided a 150-page stormwater management report for City
staff review, which details how stormwater will be managed so as to not
negatively impact the surrounding area. The applicant will improve an existing
drainage ditch to the rear of the lots in Block 2 to make it a more effective
stormwater detention basin. This basin will then allow for drainage to new
stormwater sewer infrastructure in Georgia Avenue North, with a 15-foot wide
rear yard drainage and utility easement conveyed to the City on each lot. The
site will also be graded to assist with the water flow to the City’s storm sewer
system, and additional inlet structures and catch basins will be added to the
area. Additional information about how the stormwater management system
will work is found in Attachment G. With the exception of this drainage basin
easement, the typical drainage and utility easements for each lot are 10 feet
along front and rear property lines and five feet along side yard property lines.
The applicant will also request that the City Council vacate an existing drainage
and utility easement on Outlot A, Professors Addition since this easement will
be supplanted by the new easements.
Erosion control techniques that will be used on-site include silt fences, inlet
protection, and a gravel construction entrance. The applicant is required to
have the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission review the
erosion control plan, and this has been made a condition of approval of the
preliminary plat.
5. Wetland Impacts – A wetland delineation report was completed for the
applicant by Kjolhaug Environmental Services in November, 2015. One 385 SF
wetland was identified on Lots 1 and 2, Block 2, adjacent to a drainage ditch
that is to be improved as a stormwater detention basin. The City Engineer has
reviewed the applicant’s civil drawings, and determined that there will not be a
negative impact on this wetland.
6. Landscaping – The applicant has completed a tree inventory of the properties
(sheet L1.1 of Attachment H). Many of the trees removed are ash and elm
trees, and these removals are in conformance with City Code requirements.
The landscape plan on sheet L2.1 shows that all ten lots will have at least one
added tree. These additional trees are American larch, swamp white oak, river
7.3
PAGE 7 OF 9
birch, ironwood, blue beech, prairiefire crabapple, and red jewel crabapple.
These species are in conformance with the City’s requirements.
7. Park dedication – This subdivision is subject to the City’s park dedication
requirements. Since Valley Place Park is located adjacent to this development,
there is not a need for park land within this development. Therefore, the
applicant will be required to make a payment in lieu of dedicating park land. In
this case, the fee is $11,340 which is 2% of the $63,000 value of each lot,
providing a credit for the existing home at 3220 Hampshire which will be
demolished. The payment of this park dedication fee will be a condition of
approval of the final plat.
C. VARIANCE
According to City Code Section 505.21, Subd. 4, public improvements must
comply with the City’s subdivision regulations as well as other applicable
sections of City Code. City Code Section 800.01 requires a street pavement
width of at least 30 feet. The applicant is requesting a variance to the required
public street pavement width by reducing the width for the proposed extension of
Georgia Avenue North from 30 feet to 28 feet. Parking would be allowed on both
sides of the street. The fire department and engineering staff have reviewed this
variance request and found it acceptable. According to City Code Section
515.05, Subd. 2, the following are the relevant criteria to approve a variance,
followed by recommended findings of fact:
a) Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the
general purposes and intent of the official control and when the terms of
the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Recommended Finding: The intent of both City Codes and the
Comprehensive Plan is to improve stormwater management by reducing
the amount of impervious surface in the city. Therefore, the request to
reduce the street pavement width for the Gardendale Subdivision is in
conformance with City policies.
b) Variances shall only be permitted when the City Council finds that strict
enforcement of specific provisions of this section would create practical
difficulties due to circumstances unique to a particular property under
consideration. Practical difficulties, as used in connection with the granting
of a variance, means that the property owner:
1) proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by
an official control; and
2) the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the
property not created by the landowner; and
7.3
PAGE 8 OF 9
3) the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the
locality.
Recommended Finding: The use of this land area for a public street is a
reasonable use permitted by the City’s subdivision and zoning codes. The
Georgia Avenue street extension is located in an existing public right-of-
way approved by the City, and since this street is located in an
established neighborhood it is preferable to lessen the impact of the street
on neighboring residential properties by allowing for a smaller street.
Since the street is only proposed to be reduced in width by two feet, the
essential character of this area is not proposed to change.
c) Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties.
Recommended Finding: Since the goal of a reduced street width is to
improve drainage in the area by reducing the amount of impervious
surface, economic considerations alone are not considered to be the sole
reason for requesting this variance.
D. REQUESTED ACTION
At the February 8, 2016 Planning Commission, the Commission recommended
approval to the City Council of the Gardendale Subdivision preliminary plat and
variance by a vote of eight to zero (one member absent), including the findings of
fact for the variance in Section C above and the following conditions of approval:
1. The following information must be submitted prior to the City Council meeting
where the Final Plat is considered for approval:
a) An Abstract of Title or Title Certificate for the land included in the
subdivision;
b) Special Land Use Application to vacate the drainage and utility easement
in Outlot A, Professors Addition
c) An easement agreement with a legal description conveying the cul-de-sac
street easement to the City.
2. The minimum building setbacks for the new homes are 30 feet to the front
and rear yards, and 5 feet to the side yards. No part of the home, including
eaves, may be located in a drainage and utility easement. For lots 1, and 2,
Block 2, the front setback is measured from the cul-de-sac easement line.
3. Applicant will submit plans for the construction of public infrastructure for
review and approval by the City Engineer.
4. An erosion control plan shall be submitted to the Bassett Creek Watershed
Management Commission for their review and approval.
7.3
PAGE 9 OF 9
5. If desired by the property owner of 6606 - 32nd Avenue North, the applicant
will construct a new curb cut for that property off of the extension of Georgia
Avenue North.
6. If the overhead utility lines in Lots 5 and 6, Block 2 are relocated or extended,
the lines shall be buried underground. New private utilities, such as Xcel
Energy, Center Point Energy, or Comcast shall be buried underground. Under
no circumstances shall additional overhead utilities be installed, whether main
lines, feeder lines or service lines to the new houses.
7. By February 26, 2016 the applicant shall trim the shards from the tree stumps
at 3215 Florida Avenue North and enclose the tree stumps with hazard (silt)
fencing; and by May 16, 2016 the tree stumps shall be removed.
City Council motion to approve the proposed resolution (Attachment I) is requested.
Alternatively, the Council may delay a decision on the preliminary plat and variance until
February 29, 2016 when the Public Works Director/City Engineer Mark Ray will be
present. A motion to continue would be necessary in that case.

NARRATIVE FOR
PRELIMINARY PLAT
January 12, 2016
7.3
INTRODUCTION
On behalf of SVK Development LLC., Landform is pleased to submit plans for a Preliminary Plat to allow 10
single-family homes on three parcels (PIDs 2011821140017, 2011821140101, and 2011821140109) located
northeast of the intersection at 32nd Avenue and Hampshire Avenue. The parcels are guided Low Density
Residential in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and zoned R-1. The subdivision will help the city achieve its goal
of increasing the availability of new housing of the type that is currently underrepresented in the housing stock,
by providing move-up single-family homes.
PRELIMINARY PLAT
The preliminary would allow the development of one vacant parcel, one outlot and one parcel with an existing
single family home, that will be demolished to provide 10 buildable lots.
Setbacks
Section 515.33 of the City Code requires all buildings in the R-1 District to be setback 30 feet from the front
and rear lot line and setback 5 feet from side lot line. The proposed lots would comply with these
requirements.
Lot Standards
Section 515.33 of the Zoning Ordinance establishes a minimum lot area of 7,500 square feet, and a minimum
width of 60 feet and a minimum depth of 100 feet. The proposed lot widths are between 62.5 - 64.4 feet wide
and lot depths of 130-135 feet. The lot sizes range from 8,472 – 8,527 square feet. Lot standards for the
proposed subdivision comply with the lot standards as defined in Chapter 515 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Transportation
We are proposing a 28-foot road in a 60-foot right-of-way that will provide access to the proposed lots, connect
with existing infrastructure and allow for parking on both sides of the street. The proposed street improvement
will require a new curb cut to extend Georgia Avenue North. The proposed temporary cul-de-sac is P-shaped
to minimize impacts on landowners and complies with the minimum turning radius of 35 degrees. The
temporary cul-de-sac easement may be vacated and the street extended at some point to service neighboring
properties to the north.
Landscaping
Section 520.13 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires open areas of a lot that are not used for required parking
area, drives or storage to be landscaped with a combination of overstory trees, understory trees, shrubs,
flowers and ground cover materials. The landscape plan provides diverse tree species that are supportive of
the site’s characteristics. The proposed plantings in the back yard are species that work well in low wet areas.
The chosen species for the boulevard trees and backyard trees will provide textures and colors for year round
7.3
interests. The value of the landscaping will be at minimum $34,500.00 per the standards of Section 520.13 of
the Zoning Ordinance, based on the estimated project value of $2.6 million dollars.
Stormwater management
The proposed subdivision will tie into the existing catch basin located where Georgia Avenue will extend from
32nd Avenue. The existing catch basin will need to be moved west out of the street. The system will be lowered
to provide positive drainage from the existing drainage ditches including drainage from the adjacent parcels.
Stormwater calculations are provided. Improvements are proposed to clean up the existing drainage ditch to
make it flow better and allow the homes to be drain tiled and pumped into existing storm system.
SUMMARY
We request approval of the preliminary plat to allow 10 single-family homes on this 2.016-acre parcel. The
proposed development is consistent with the R-1 Zoning District standards for subdivision.
We request to be placed on the February 8, 2016 Planning Commission agenda and the February 16, 2016
City Council agenda for approval.

Memorandum
DATE: February 11, 2016
TO: John Sutter, Community Development Director
Dan Olson, City Planner
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Storm water management around proposed Gardendale development
Existing Conditions
The proposed development will include ten single family homes and the extension of Georgia
Avenue north of 32nd Ave N.
Using the open source GIS data from Hennepin County
(http://gis.hennepin.opendata.arcgis.com/) City staff checked the existing topography in the
area around the proposed development. The topographic information from Hennepin County
was 2 foot contours which were developed based on information from the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources LiDAR data from 2012. It is important to note that LiDAR data
is done using aerial survey equipment that beams lasers at the ground to measure elevation.
While it is very effective for estimating the topographic conditions over large areas, it needs to
be taken in context with the fact that it is aerial based surveying.
The figure below shows the data for the proposed Georgia Ave N extension based on the
information from Hennepin County. In looking at the information, the first thing is to find the
lowest elevation areas. Two main areas stand out as being the lowest areas with an elevation
around 868 feet. These two areas are marked with an “A” and “B”. Area “B” is somewhat of a
backwards L shape. It should also be noted that the LiDAR data was collected prior to the soil
being piled on the property to surcharge the sub‐soils.
Attachment G7.3
Since these two areas (“A” and “B”) have the lowest elevation, they are the areas that will hold
water first and for the longest as a result of any rainfall.
Site Survey
As part of the proposed development, the developer also conducted a topographic survey of
the area using ground‐based data collector. This information is much more precise than the
LiDAR data because it is based on actual ground measurements. The figure below is from a
screen shot of the developer’s plans. Similar to the previous exercise, this survey work was
reviewed to find the low points. Similar to the Hennepin County data, the elevation of 868 was
again identified as generally the lowest elevation in two different locations. On the figure
below, the labels “A” and “B” are placed in the area of the 868 elevation and in the same
relative location as on the figure above.
Based on this comparison it appears that both survey methods produced comparable results.
Therefore, since the ground survey work is more precise, it was used as the basis for further
evaluation and analysis.

Resident Comments
At the neighborhood and public meetings for the proposed project, staff received a number
comments related to existing storm water flow in the area. One of the comments from the
resident at 6600 32nd Avenue North stated that the water on the east side of her property
flowed to the north and ponded up there. This statement is backed up by the survey data which
shows her property is at approximately 872’ elevation and progressively declines to the
previously noted 868’ elevation.
The City also received photo below from a resident at 3225 Florida Avenue North. The image is
taken from inside the home looking to the west south west. The edge of the home in the
distance on the left side of the picture is 3220 Hampshire Avenue North. The grey in the further
distance is the tennis court fence at Lions Valley Park.

7.3
As in visible in the picture, the water is pooling roughly in the area of the north‐south property
line between 3225 Florida Avenue North and the proposed development (“C”). The area to the
west is then clearly higher elevation and dry (“D”). This photo clearly defines the approximate
area of the 868’ elevation where the water is and the area beyond which is around 873’ in
elevation (5 feet above the ground where the water is pooling in the photo). What is not visible
in the photo is that the area on the other side of the small grass hill is also at the 868’ elevation
(“E”). Because this area is not visible, it is not known if there is water pooling there at the same
time or not.
Existing City Storm Water Utilities in the Area
The City currently has two storm water inlets in the area. One of the inlets is just to the east of
6600 32nd Avenue North in the undeveloped right of way (“F”). The rim of this inlet is at 869.5’.
This storm water facility will be referred to as the “west” pipe moving forward in this memo.
C D
E
F
7.3
The second storm water inlet is in the northwest corner of the 6516 32nd Ave N property (“G”).
The inlet elevation of this pipe is 865.4’. This inlet will be referred to as the “east” pipe moving
forward in this memo.
In summary, there are two ways (City storm pipes) for the water to drain out of this area. No
natural drainage out of the area exists and the existing topography only slightly directs water
towards the City storm pipes. When the City met with the developers, maintaining (or
improving) these two storm water outlets was a top priority.
The Plan
As part of the development, the storm water would be managed as three different zones. The
first zone is the West pipe, the second zone is the Georgia Avenue roadway, and the third is the
East pipe. Below is a very crude graphic showing the rough locations of each zone.
G
7.3
Georgia Avenue Zone
As part of the new Georgia Avenue street construction, the existing storm pipe inlet “F” will be
removed and a new storm pipe will be extended from the existing storm manhole in the
intersection of Georgia Ave N and 32nd. The extended storm pipe will run to the north along the
west curb line of the new street. Catch basins will be put in near the location of the existing
storm pipe inlet F as well as further to the north. Water draining from the east side of 6600 32nd
Avenue North will no longer flow to the north, but will flow to the new catch basins in the new
street (see figure on the next page). By routing the water from this area to the new storm water
pipe, the amount of water ending up in the location behind 3225 Florida Avenue North will be
reduced.
West Pipe Zone
Georgia Ave Zone East Pipe Zone
7.3
Along with the new pipe, sump boxes will be installed for the properties to connect their sump
pumps to. As the sump pumps remove the groundwater from around the basements it will be
pumped directly into the storm water pipe system. Not only will this help remove excess
moisture from the soil along Georgia Ave N, but by removing the excess moisture extra
temporary water capacity will be created for larger rain events.
All the water that falls on the new street will run south towards the intersection of Georgia
Avenue and 32nd Ave. Along the way it will be picked up by catch basins or travel to the catch
basins at the intersection.
In summary, roughly all the water that falls in the area from the midpoint of the houses along
Georgia Avenue to the street will drain to the new storm water system built under the street.
This is in contrast to conditions today where all this area drains to Area A and B as shown on
the earlier figures.
West Pipe
A new storm water pipe will run along the west side of Georgia Ave N. At the north end of this
pipe will be a new inlet “H” (on figure below) with a proposed elevation of 867.6’. This inlet is
much closer to the low area “A” shown on the earlier figures (and below). Because the inlet is
significantly closer to the low area than conditions today, water will be able to get to the storm
water pipes easier and then transported from the area.
7.3
East Pipe
The primary reason that water is ponding behind 3225 Florida Ave. N is that the entire drainage
way to the east pipe inlet is basically flat (See area “B” on earlier figures). Any vegitation,
debris, or slight increase in elevation prevents the water from draining to the south to the pipe.
The existing east pipe has an elevation of 865.4’ which is around 2.5’ lower than the existing
low area B noted above. Based on the survey work, the vast majority of the elevation drop from
868’ occurs less than 75 feet from the pipe. In the picture of the ponding water above, Area C is
around 150 feet from the pipe and well in the flat area so the water naturally does not go
anywhere.
As part of the redevelopment project, the developer will be grading the existing drainage area
on the new properties so that it is better sloped down toward the east pipe (“I” on following
figure). Vegitation and other debris will be removed so that water can naturally flow overland
to the pipe much easier than conditions today.
Additionally, the City will be getting a 30’ easement (15’ on either side of the property line)
from the new properties along the existing drainage way. This will allow for future maintenance
of this drainage way so that the slope of the ground can be monitored and area kept free from
debris that may hinder the overland water flow. Currently there is no drainage easement for
3225 or 3231 Florida Avenue N, so no grading will be done on these properties to further help
slope this area towards the East pipe (“C”).
H
A
7.3
Summary
Storm water management has been a top priority and concern from the very start of this
project. The proposed changes in storm water management will extend the storm water pipes
closer to the existing low areas (West pipe) and re‐grade the drainage areas to get the ground
to slope better towards the existing pipe (East pipe). Drainage easements will also be platted as
part of the project to allow the City the opportunity to provide inspections and maintenance as
needed of these features. Furthermore, water flowing to these existing low areas will be
reduced as water will also be directed to the new street and catch basins (Georgia Avenue
Zone). The existing low areas will still continue to have standing water when it rains because
they are low areas and it is flat. That said, the water will no longer need to rise as high before
being able to reach either the West or East pipe.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Crystal,
based on the record of this matter and the findings and determinations contained herein, hereby

required to obtain such other permits and permissions as may be required.
9. No Waiver. Failure by the City to take action with respect to any violation of any
condition, covenant or term of the preliminary plat and variance shall not be deemed

Memorandum
DATE: February 16, 2016
TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Public Works Director
Brad Fortin, Parks/Building Superintendent
SUBJECT: Yunkers park shelter purchase
Background
As part of the effort to revitalize the City’s parks, the Parks Commission indicated a strong
desire to look at the existing facilities and identify opportunities for improvement. One of the
opportunities identified was the removal of the park shelter building at Yunkers park and the
installation of a new picnic shelter with associated amenities.
The 2016 budget includes the purchase of a new picnic shelter
and site amenities for Yunkers Park, BU#5071. This winter, the
existing shelter was removed in preparation for a more modern,
handicapped accessible, shelter and site amenities (see example
photo).
Included in the purchase of the new shelter is: installation, 6
heavy duty picnic tables, a drinking fountain, an informational
kiosk, electrical outlets, LED lighting and a new barbecue grill. The
new shelter will be 20’X30’ with an 8:12 pitched standing seam
metal roof. Metal powder coated framework with a 9’eave height
will increase the vandal resistance of this shelter and provide a
long maintenance-friendly life.
A number of different contractors and suppliers will be used to construct the shelter and
amentities. Additionally, City staff will be assisting with some of the installation and site work.
Based on the various contractor quotes received and material prices for City-installed
components, the project is anticipated to come in at the budgeted $45,000.
Recommended Action
Motion to approve the resolution authorizing the purchase of the parts and labor necessary for
the new Yunkers Park Shelter.
7.4
RESOLUTION NO. 2016- _____
APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF THE PARTS AND LABOR NECESSARY FOR THE NEW
YUNKERS PARK SHELTER
WHEREAS, the Crystal City Council is committed to providing and maintaining quality
infrastructure that is essential for everyday residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational activities
in the City; and
WHEREAS, the previous Yunkers park shelter no longer met the needs of the community and
was obsolete; and
WHEREAS, the proposed park shelter will include various amenities to support individual,
family, and community recreation at the park; and
WHEREAS, the Parks Commission supports this project as a potential model for future park
revitalization projects;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Crystal City Council hereby approves the
purchase of the parts and labor necessary for the new Yunkers Park Shelter.
Adopted by the Crystal City Council this 16th day of February 2016.

Cc: Aaron Swearingen
Subject: Written comments for public hearing re: Blue Line extension
We live on Welcome Ave in Crystal, and our property borders the BNSF rail line where the
proposed Blue Line light rail extension will be constructed. Our property has been identified as
being moderately -to -severely noise impacted by the project, even after quiet crossings are taken
into consideration. We strongly advocate for a sound barrier wall between our property and the
light rail, as well as any additional sound mitigation measures that may be under consideration.
However, we are concerned that, with the current description of the proposed wall as being no
more than 8 feet, our privacy and light pollution concerns are still not being addressed. The wall
along the Hiawatha line is higher than this in most places, and is also often accompanied by a
berm. As the council makes a decision regarding municipal consent for this project, please
consider not only sound impacts on residents, but privacy and light pollution as well.
