DATE: June 16, 2016
SUBJECT: Absentee Ballot Board for the 2016 Elections
___________________________________________________________________
Background
The City of Crystal is designated by Hennepin County to administer absentee ballots
for Crystal voters. The general purpose of an Absentee Ballot Board is to accept,
reject, and count ballots submitted by voters who have applied to vote by absentee
ballot.
Minnesota Election Law 203B.121 requires the governing body of each municipality
with responsibility to accept and reject absentee ballots to establish a ballot board.
The law also allows for deputy city clerks to be members of the Absentee Ballot Board
if they have been trained in the handling of absentee ballots.
The following city employees are requested to be appointed as deputy clerks for the
purposes of accepting and rejecting absentee ballots for the 2016 elections:

SUBJECT: Consider adoption of a resolution approving a conditional use permit
for Early Steps Learning Foundation
A. BACKGROUND
Early Steps Learning Foundation is proposing to lease classroom and office space for
their day care from Brunswick United Methodist Church located at 6122 – 42nd Avenue
North. Before the lease agreement is finalized, Early Steps is requesting conditional
use permit (CUP) approval to allow their day care to locate on the property. The
property is zoned Low Density Residential (R-1). According to City Code Section
515.33 Subd. 4 (b), public institutional uses such as the proposed day care are a
conditional use within the R-1 zoning district. Notice of the June 13 public hearing was
published in the Sun Post on June 2, and notices sent to property owners within 350
feet of the property (see Attachment B). To date no public comments have been
received for this proposal.

B. Map showing public hearing notification area
C. Existing zoning map
D. 2030 Land Use Comprehensive Plan map
E. Applicant’s project narrative
F. Floor plans
G. Existing site layout
H. Resolution
B. PROPOSED CONDITIONAL USE
Proposed Use of Property
A church building has existed on this property since the early 1950s. However, the City
Council did not grant a CUP to officially allow the church on this property until 1983 .
Early Steps Learning Foundation is proposing to lease approximately 1,850 SF of space
from the church for their day care:
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Conditional Use Permit for Early
Steps Learning Foundation
7.4
PAGE 2 OF 4
Nursery – 643 SF
Activity room – 600 SF
Rainbow room – 360 SF
Office – 252 SF
The day care is expected to have 40 children under age 5, with eight staff members, and
will be open from 6 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday. The applicant has indicated
that eventually she may have up to 55 children in this day care. The church, which has
eight staff members, will have office hours and limited programming from 10 AM to 3 PM,
Monday through Friday, and Sunday church services. Therefore the day care and
church will have few overlapping operating hours during their busiest times.
Conditional Use Approval Criteria: City Code Section 515.33, Subd. 4(b) provides
requirements for public institutional uses, such as a day care, 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: Since the applicant is not constructing any building
additions, this criteria is not applicable.
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 42nd Avenue
North is a minor arterial. The existing building is served by a vehicle
entrance and exit on Colorado Avenue 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. There is a public sidewalk on 42 nd
Avenue North, and there are private sidewalks providing access to the
building.
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 th e
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)”. The
proposed day care use is consistent with this designation; 2) The
property and existing building are designed for a public institutional use,
and the facility will continue to exhibit these characteristics; 3) The
property has been an institutional use for many years, and this
7.4
PAGE 3 OF 4
institutional use will continue with Early Step’s co-use of the property.
Since the applicant is not proposing to make any alterations to the
building footprint or parking lot, the requirements of Section 520 of the
Zoning Code, Site and Building Plan Review, are not applicable to this
application.
C. NOTABLE SITE ELEMENTS
The following is a description of the notable site elements proposed for the day care
use at 6122- 42nd Avenue North.
Parking – There is not a specific requirement in the Zoning Code for a
minimum number of parking spaces for a day care facility. In 1983 the City
Council approved a variance to reduce the required number of parking spaces
for the church from 200 spaces to 74. A recent count of the parking spaces on
the property found that there are 77 spaces. Therefore the parking requirement
is met and the applicant is not proposing to construct additional parking. Since
the day care and the church will be operating mostly on different schedules, the
existing number of parking spaces is adequate.
Child pick up and drop off – Early Steps is proposing to have children
dropped off and picked up at the building entrance on the north side of the
building where the parking lot is located. Child drop off will occur between
6:00 and 10:00 AM, and pick up will occur between 5:00 and 6:00 PM. The
City’s Public Works Director, the Police Department, and West Metro Fire
Rescue District have reviewed this child pick up and drop off plan and found it
adequate to meet vehicle movement within the site, including fire trucks .
With the low number of children attending this day care, traffic impacts to the
area are not expected to be noticeable.
Pedestrian connections – There are existing public sidewalks on both sides of
42nd Avenue North. There are also private sidewalks on the church property
providing access to the building.
Signs – The applicant is not proposing to add any new exterior signs to the
property.
D. REQUESTED ACTION
At the June 13, 2016 Planning Commission, the Commission recommended
approval to the City Council of the conditional use permit for Early Steps
Learning Foundation by a vote of nine to zero with the following conditions of
approval:
1. With this CUP approval, First Steps Learning Foundation is limited to 55
children. If additional children are desired, First Steps shall apply to the City for
a CUP amendment.
2. Pick up and drop off of children will occur only at the north side building
entrance.
7.4
PAGE 4 OF 4
3. Early Steps shall submit a request to the Metropolitan Council to determine if a
sewer availability charge (SAC) will be assessed for this use.
City Council motion to approve the proposed resolution (Attachment H) is requested.

Memorandum
DATE: June 21, 2016
TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Public Works Director
Brad Fortin, Parks/Facilities Superintendent
SUBJECT: Athletic field paint sprayer
Background
The 2017 PIR includes the replacement of a 2001 paint sprayer # 178, replacement athletic
field paint sprayer (BU #5044). This purchase was originally programmed for 2016 and was
delayed to 2017 due to budget constraints.
As the sprayer has been used this spring/summer it has proven to have been very unreliable
and staff has spent a significant amount of time trying to make it operational. Because athletic
fields must be painted for the programmed activities, it is essential that the paint sprayer be
reliable. In its current state, the pump is failing and future repairs will outweigh the value of
the sprayer. The concern is that if it is not replaced soon, it will quit working all together and
the City will not be able to mark the athletic fields for programmed activities.
Funding for this purchase will come from two sources. The first is the 2016 PIR includes the
purchase of a box scraper implement for a tractor (BU #5042) for $1,500. This purchase will be
eliminated for this year. The second source will be (BU #5070) which allocated $40,000 for the
replacement truck purchase earlier this year and was $8,000 under budget. A portion ($7,000)
of BU #5070 has been used to replace a parks trailer. The remaining $1,000 is requested to be
put towards this athletic field paint sprayer replacement.
The replacement athletic field paint sprayer (GRACO FIELDLAZER S100 STRIPER) will be
purchased from Pioneer Athletics for $2,450.
Recommended Action
Motion to approve the Resolution authorizing the replacement purchase of the parks athletic
field paint sprayer.
7.6
RESOLUTION NO. 2016- _____
APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF AN
ATHLETIC FIELD PAINT SPRAYER
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, an athletic field paint sprayer is essential for painting the various lines needed for
programmed athletic events; and
WHEREAS, the existing sprayer is not reliable, routinely down for maintenance, and hindering
the City’s abilities to complete the needed field markings for programed events; and
WHEREAS, adequate funds are available in the PIR Fund for this purchase;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Crystal City Council hereby approves the
replacement purchase of an athletic field paint sprayer.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund 2016 budget is
amended to reduce the appropriation for the box scraper implement for tractor (BU# 5042) by $1,500;
reduce the appropriation for the replacement of Unit 104 (BU #5070) by $1,000 and add an appropriation
of $2,500 for the purchase of a replacement athletic field paint sprayer.

alley. The proposed house would have approximately 1,150 finished square feet on the main
floor with an open living-dining-kitchen area, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The lower
level would have a laundry area and space for a bedroom, bathroom and family room to be
finished later.
For the public hearing, the applicant will revise the house floor plans to reconfigure the
location of the bedrooms and create a rear entrance to easily access the back yard and the
detached garage. In addition to the front and rear entrances, the builder is also proposing a
secondary entrance on the south side of the home. Staff r ecommends that this entrance be
removed in the revised house plans since it would be very close to the existing home at 4327
Vera Cruz Avenue North (see proposed site plan).
The required public hearing would be scheduled if the EDA gives tentative acceptance of the
proposal.
REQUESTED EDA ACTION: EDA tentative approval of the purchase proposal with
Timbercraft Enterprises for the EDA lot at 4331 Vera Cruz Avenue North, subject to the
changes described in this staff report.
