Memorandum
DATE: August 21, 2018
TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Winnekta Pond Project update
Summary
Design – No substantial changes in the design since the March work session. Still mostly a sediment
removal project.
Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) - The Minnesota Environmental Quality Board has
notified the City that an EAW is required for this project. This need had not been brought up
previously. While this is an administrative process, the project team is working to minimize the impact
on the overall project schedule. That said, due to the project having limited impact on residential
properties, schedule flexibility, within reason, is not a major concern.
Permitting - The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Wetland Conservation Act (WCA)
permits have been approved. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) Work in Public
Waters Permit is pending completion of the EAW and the City’s record of decision regarding the need
for an Environmental Impact Statement.
Easement – Staff has come to a verbal agreement with the property management staff of the adjacent
apartment complex where they have agreed to pay 90% of the maintenance cost for the entire buffer
area. City staff will administer the contract at no cost to the apartment complex. Both City and
apartment complex staff are working to determine the best way to budget/plan for the expense within
the agreement language.
Cost
• $771,705 (including engineering and 10% contingency) which is fully reimbursable by the
Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission
• $25,000 for EAW-related activities which is fully reimbursable by the Bassett Creek Watershed
Management Commission
Schedule
• October 23 City Council meeting to approve plans and authorize ad for bid
• November 14 Bids due
• November 20 City Council award contract
• December 4 City Council meeting regarding Environmental Assessment Worksheet
Construction window has not been established (will be done prior to October 23), may be allowed to
occur winter 2019-2020 for better pricing. Number of construction days would be the controlling
factor.
Council Action
No formal action is needed at this time.

RE: PUBLIC HEARING: Consider adoption of a resolution approving a
vacation of a drainage and utility easement
A. BACKGROUND
The City Council is being asked to adopt a resolution in attachment A to vacate city-owned
drainage and utility easements within the Les Brown subdivision. This subdivision is
located in a portion of North Bass Lake Park, addressed as 5625 Xenia Avenue North,
which is being replatted as the proposed location of two new single-family homes (see
agenda item 7.3).
Attachment:
A. Resolution
B. PROPOSED EASEMENT VACATION
Drainage and utility easements were dedicated on the Les Brown Addition plat when it
was approved by the City Council in 1973. This property is now being replatted as the
Bass Lake Addition, which splits the parcel into two new single-family lots. New
drainage and utility easements are dedicated on the Bass Lake Addition plat so the
existing easements in the Les Brown Addition plat are no longer needed.
Notice of the August 21 public hearing was published in the Sun Post on August 2, and
mailed to four utility companies: Comcast, CenterPoint Energy, Xcel Energy, and
CenturyLink. All four companies have responded by saying they have no objection to the
easements being vacated.
.
C. REQUESTED ACTION
City staff recommends that the drainage and utility easements located within the Les
Brown Addition be vacated.
City Council motion to approve the proposed resolution (attachment A) is requested.

_____________________________________________________________________
FROM: Dan Olson, City Planner
____________________________________________________________________
TO: Anne Norris (for August 21 Meeting)
DATE: August 16, 2018
RE: Consider adoption of a resolution approving a preliminary and final
plat for Bass Lake Addition
A. BACKGROUND
On June 5, 2018 the City Council de termined that PID #04-118-21-31-0022 is
surplus land and that it should be subdivided and sold for construction of t wo
new single-family homes. Proceeds from the sale of the lots will be used to fund
park improvements. The plat creating these lots is named Bass Lake Addition
and the site is zoned Low Density Residential (R-1). Notice of the August 13
public hearing was published in the Sun Post on August 2 and mailed to owners
within 500 feet (see attachment B).
Attachments:
A. Site location map
B. Map showing public hearing notification area
C. Existing zoning map
D. Proposed preliminary plat
E. Proposed final plat
F. Resolution
B. PROPOSED PROPERTY SUBDIVISION
Existing use
The site is a vacant parcel previously identified as part of North Bass Lake Park
addressed as 5625 Xenia Avenue North. The site is not dedicated or restricted
to park purposes. The site has no history of active park use and does not contain
any recreational facilities or structures.

Subdivision
BASS LAKE ADDITION – SUBDIVISION APPLICATION
PAGE 2 OF 3
Proposed use
The proposed use is for two new single-family homes to be addressed as 5618
and 5624 Welcome Avenue North , plus an outlot to remain under city ownership
to provide access from the Welcome Avenue cul-de-sac to North Bass Lake
Park.
Parcel Area Details
35,969 sq. ft. (0.8 acre) Total area to be replatted
- 1,434 sq. ft. (0.03 acre) Right-of-way for Welcome Avenue
- 2,553 sq. ft. (0.06 acre) Outlot A to be retained by the city for access to
North Bass Lake Park from Welcome Avenue
= 31,982 sq. ft. (0.7 acre) Area remaining for the two new lots
14,133 sq. ft. (0.3 acre) Lot 1 (new 5618 Welcome)
17,850 sq. ft. (0.4 acre) Lot 2 (new 5624 Welcome)
Subdivision design features
The proposed plat would be named Bass Lake Addition. The following are the
notable design features of this subdivision:
1. Zoning Requirements
Building setbacks – Any proposed homes on these two proposed
properties will meet the setbacks required for the R-1 district, which are 30
feet for the front and rear property lines. Side setbacks will be controlled
by the five foot drainage and utility easements. N o part of the homes,
including eaves, may be located within a drainage and utility easement.
Lot size and area – The proposed lots meets the minimum lot area (6,000
sq. ft.), width (50’), and depth (100’) requirements of the R-1 district.
2. Pedestrian and Street Access
Pedestrian connections – There is not a sidewalk accessing these lots
and none planned.
Street access – The two lots will be accessed from new curb cuts to be
installed on Welcome Avenue North.
3. Utilities
The proposed new homes will connect with existing water and sanitary sewer
mains. The city will install these service connections in fall 2018 prior to the
BASS LAKE ADDITION – SUBDIVISION APPLICATION
PAGE 3 OF 3
lots being sold. There are no existing overhead private utility lines on the
property, but new drainage and utility easements are dedicated with this new
plat. Existing easements on the property will be vacated and replaced with
the new easements. New private utility services to the new homes, such as
Xcel Energy, Century Link and Comcast, will be buried underground.
4. Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control – The city does not require a grading,
drainage and erosion control plan for parcels under one acre in size.
However during home construction, the city will require erosion control
techniques to be used on-site including silt fences and inlet protection.
5. Landscaping – Existing trees on the two lots are shown on the preliminary
plat. It is possible that trees will be removed from the property to
accommodate the new homes. As part of the sale of the properties, the city
will require the builder to install new trees.
6. Park dedication – Because net revenue from the lot sales will go into the
Parks Capital Fund, and park dedication fees are deposited into the same
fund, the park dedication requirement is already being met.
C. FINAL PLAT
In addition to preliminary plat approval for the Bass Lake Addition subdivision, the
applicant is also requesting final plat approval. According to city code section 510.11,
Planning Commission review of the final plat is not required. The final plat is in
conformance to the preliminary plat.
D. REQUESTED ACTION
At the August 13, 2018 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission
recommended by a vote of seven to zero (two members were absent) that the
City Council approve the Preliminary Plat of the Bass Lake Addition subdivision.
City Council motion to approve the proposed resolution (Attachment F) is
requested. If the plat is approved, the lot sales will likely close in September
2018 and the new homes completed by spring 2019.

RE: Consider adoption of a resolution approving a preliminary and final
plat for Cavanagh View Addition
A. BACKGROUND
On June 5, 2018 the City Council de termined that PID #09-118-21-13-0066 is
surplus land and that it should be subdivided and sold for construction of three
new single-family homes. Proceeds from the sale of the lots will be used to fund
park improvements. The plat creating these lots is named Cavanagh View
Addition and the site is zoned Low Density Residential (R-1). Notice of the
August 13 public hearing was published in the Sun Post on August 2 and mailed
to owners within 500 feet (see attachment B).
Attachments:
A. Site location map
B. Map showing public hearing notification area
C. Existing zoning map
D. Proposed preliminary plat
E. Proposed final plat
F. Resolution
B. PROPOSED PROPERTY SUBDIVISION
Existing use
The site is a vacant parcel previously identified as Schutz Park and addressed
as 5000 Vera Cruz Avenue North. The site is not dedicated or restricted to park
purposes. The site has no history of active park use and does not contain any
recreational facilities or structures.

CAVANAGH VIEW ADDITION – PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICATION

Proposed use
Three new single-family homes to be addressed as 5006, 5012 and 5018 Vera
Cruz Avenue North.
Parcel Area Details
43,542 sq. ft. (1.0 acre) Total area to be replatted
- 19,037 sq. ft. (0.4 acre) Right-of-way for Vera Cruz and 50th Avenues
= 24,505 sq. ft. (0.6 acre) Area remaining for the three new lots
8,902 sq. ft. (0.2 acre) Lot 1 (new 5006 Vera Cruz)
7,506 sq. ft. (0.2 acre) Lot 2 (new 5012 Vera Cruz)
8,097 sq. ft. (0.2 acre) Lot 3 (new 5018 Vera Cruz)
Subdivision design features
The proposed plat would be named Cavanagh View Addition. Since the
subdivision abuts a county roadway (Bottineau Boulevard), Hennepin County
staff has reviewed this subdivision request and finds it acceptable. The following
are the notable design features of this subdivision:
1. Zoning Requirements
Building setbacks – Except for lot 3, for which setback variances are
requested (see agenda item 3c), a ny proposed homes on these proposed
properties will meet the setbacks required for the R -1 district, which are 30
feet for the front and rear property lines. Side setbacks will be controlled
by the five or ten foot drainage and utility easements . No part of the
homes, including eaves, may be located within a drainage and utility
easement.
Lot size and area – Except for lot 3, for which a variance is requested to
lot depth (see agenda item 3c), the proposed lots meets the minimum lot
area (6,000 sq. ft.), width (50’), and depth (100’) requirements of the R-1
district.
2. Pedestrian and Street Access
Pedestrian connections – There is an existing sidewalk along Vera Cruz
Avenue. Directly north of Lot 3, the sidewalk connects to an existing local
bituminous trail on the west side of Bottineau Boulevard. The Crystal Lake
Regional Trail is located on the east side of Bottineau Boulevard.
Street access – The three lots will be accessed from new curb cuts to be
installed on Vera Cruz Avenue North.

PAGE 3 OF 3
3. Utilities
The proposed new homes will connect with existing water and sanitary sewer
mains. The city will install these service connections in fall 2018 prior to the
lots being sold. Existing overhead utility lines are located along Vera Cruz
Avenue. These utilities will be located in drainage and utility easements that
are dedicated with this new plat. If those lines are relocated or extended,
then the lines and extensions must be buried underground. New private
utility services to the new homes, such as Xcel Energy, Century Link and
Comcast, will be buried underground.
4. Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control – The city does not require a grading,
drainage and erosion control plan for parcels under one acre in size.
However during home construction, the city will require erosion control
techniques to be used on-site including silt fences and inlet protection.
5. Landscaping – Existing trees on the three lots are shown on the preliminary
plat. It is possible that trees will be removed from the property to
accommodate the new homes. As part of the sale of the properties, the city
will require the builder to install new trees.
6. Park dedication – Since the city is the applicant for this subdivision request,
new revenue from the lot sales will go into the Parks Capital Fund, and since
park dedication fees are deposited into the same fund, the park dedication
requirement is already being met.
C. FINAL PLAT
In addition to preliminary plat approval for the Cavanagh View Addition
subdivision, the applicant is also requesting final plat approval. According to city
code section 510.11, Planning Commission review of the final plat is not
required. The final plat is in conformance to the preliminary plat.
D. REQUESTED ACTION
At the August 13, 2018 Planning Commission meeting, the Commis sion
recommended by a vote of six to one (two members were absent) that the City
Council approve the Preliminary Plat of the Cavanagh View Addition subdivision.
City Council motion to approve the proposed resolution (Attachment F) is
requested. If the plat is approved, the lot sales will likely close in September
2018 and the new homes completed by spring 2019.

DATE: August 16, 2018
RE: Consider adoption of a resolution approving a variance request from
City of Crystal for a new single-family home at 5018 Vera Cruz Avenue
North
A. BACKGROUND
The subject property is part of a city-owned parcel (PID 19-118-21-13-0066) at 5000 Vera
Cruz Avenue North being replatted into three lots for new home construction . Before selling
the lot at 5018 Vera Cruz Avenue, the city is requesting variances to the setback and lot depth
requirements. The property is zoned Low Density Residential (R-1). Notice of the August 13
public hearing was published in the Sun Post on August 2 and mailed to owners within 500
feet (see attachment B). To date staff has not received any comments on this proposal.
Attachments:
A. Site location map
B. Map showing public hearing notification area
C. Existing zoning map
D. Site plan
E. Resolution
B. VARIANCES
The proposed lot is defined as a “corner through lot” in the city’s unified development code
(UDC) because it fronts on more than two roadways. As such, the west side of the property is
defined as the front yard, the east side as the rear yard, the north side as the corner side yard,
and the south side as the interior side yard (see attachment D). Due to the unusual trapezoid
shape of the lot and the location of the lot facing three roadwa ys, the city is requesting the
following variances for a proposed new home:
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Variance for 5018 Vera Cruz Avenue North
5 018 VERA CRUZ AVENUE NORTH – VARIANCE APPLICATION
PAGE 2 OF 3
o Variances to reduce the required east and west yard setbacks from 30 to 20 feet.
The home will face Vera Cruz on the west side. If the new home’s garage door
faces north, then the setback from that lot line would automatically increase from
10 to 20 feet.
o Variance to reduce the lot depth requirement from 100’ to 65.25’. The variance is
only necessary along the north side lot line, as the lot depth along the south side lot
line is 120.44 feet.
The following are the relevant approval criteria for this variance as outlined in city code section
510.33, followed by staff response:
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.
Response: The intent of the city’s zoning ordinance is to provide for
regulations to promote orderly development that allows for adequate
access to light, air, and convenient access to property. The approval of a
home that is closer to the west and east property lines, and that does not
meet the lot depth requirement, will not impede access to adequate light or
air for adjacent properties or for the proposed home. If the variance is
approved, the home will be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan’s
Low Density Residential future land use designation.
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
3) the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the
locality.
Response:
The use of the subject property for a single-family home is a reasonable
use permitted by the city’s zoning regulations.
The parcel was originally platted in 1911 as a standard rectangle, but after
100 years of road realignments and easement acquisitions, the property is
now a trapezoid fronting three streets, one of which is a busy arterial
roadway with approximately 30,000 vehicle trips per day and a busy
signalized intersection north of the property. The setback variance is
5 018 VERA CRUZ AVENUE NORTH – VARIANCE APPLICATION
PAGE 3 OF 3
necessary to ensure that a house can be placed on the lot in a way which
provides the best possible residential use and enjoyment of the property.
The lot depth variance is necessary because the lot is half as deep on the
north property line as it is on the south property line, and the lot is
otherwise oversized relative to minimum dimensional requirements.
The essential character of this area will not change if the variance is
approved:
With front and rear setbacks reduced from 30 to 20 feet, the
new home can be optimally placed on the lot to minimize the
impact of adjacent roadways.
The new home will be at least 10 feet from the proposed home
to the south at 5012 Vera Cruz Avenue – this is equal to the
typical separation between homes in Crystal.
c) Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties.
Response: A new home could be built on the lot without the variance, but
with the variance the new home can be located in a way that better fits
the character of the surrounding streets. Therefore economic
considerations alone are not the sole reason for requesting this variance.
C. REQUESTED ACTION
At the August 13, 2018 Planning Commission meeting, the Commissio n recommended
by a vote of six to one (two members wer e absent) that the City Council approve the
variance application to establish minimum setbacks of 20 feet from the west and east
lot lines at 5018 Vera Cruz Avenue North, and to allow a minimum lot depth of 65.25
feet measured along the north side lot line .
City Council motion to approve the proposed resolution (Attachment E) is requested.

RESOLUTION NO. 2018-________
RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FOR 5018 VERA CRUZ AVENUE NORTH
WHEREAS, the City of Crystal (“Applicant”) submitted an application for approval of a
variance at 5018 Vera Cruz Avenue North, which is legally described in Exhibit A (“Property”);
and
WHEREAS, the variance is to allow a new single-family home that does not meet
building setback and lot depth requirements as required in the City’s Unified Development Code
(UDC), which is contained in Chapter V of the Crystal City Code. The requested variances are:
20 feet to the front (west) and rear (east) property lines rather than the 30 feet
required by the UDC;
65.25 feet in lot depth along the north property line rather than the 100 feet
required by the City’s UDC; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the variance
request on August 13, 2018 and voted to forward the application to the City Council with a
recommendation that the requested variance be approved; and
WHEREAS, the City Planner’s report dated August 16, 2018 regarding this matter, which
is attached hereto as Exhibit B, is incorporated herein and made part of this variance approval
except that the conditions set out below are controlling; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the Applicant has sufficiently demonstrated that
practical difficulties exist under the present circumstances to support the issuance of the
requested variance under the applicable rules and regulations of the Crystal City Code.
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
approves the variance to allow construction of a single-family home located up to 20 feet from
the front (west) and rear (east) property lines, and is 65.25 feet in lot depth along the north
property line, at 5018 Vera Cruz Avenue North, subject to compliance with all of the following
conditions of approval:
1. Compliance. The variance is subject to the applicable requirements of the Crystal
City Code. The Applicant is required to comply with all applicable federal, state, and
local laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances and is required to obtain such other
permits and permissions as may be required.
2. No Waiver. Failure by the City to take action with respect to any violation of any
condition, covenant or term of the variance shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such
condition, covenant, or term or any subsequent violation of the same or any other
condition, covenant, or term.
3. Binding Effect. This variance, and the conditions placed on its approval, are binding
on the Applicant, the Applicant’s successors and assigns, shall run with the Property,
and shall not in any way be affected by the subsequent sale, lease, or other change
from current ownership. The obligations of the Applicant under this approval shall
also be the obligations of the current and any subsequent owners of the Property.
4. Acceptance of Conditions. Utilization of the Property for any of the uses allowed by
this variance shall automatically be deemed acceptance of, and agreement to, its terms
and conditions without qualification, reservation, or exception.
Adopted by the Crystal City Council this 21st day of August, 2018.
