RE: Consider tentative acceptance of proposal by Elin Marco Group for
the lot at 5417- 35th Avenue North
Elin Marco Group has submitted a proposal to purchase the lot at 5417- 35th Avenue
North. They have offered to pay $28,000 for this lot. Currently the property has an 8”
water main located on the west side of the property, which makes it difficult to site a
future home. The property also has soil issues which must be considered. The $28,000
offer is reasonable given the water main and soil issues on the lot. Elin Marco Group is
a state-licensed residential building contractor with no enforcement actions.
Attached are an aerial photo, builder’s proposal form, property survey, and a general
illustration/example of the type of home that could be built on the lot. If the EDA gives
tentative approval of the lot sale, staff will work with Elin Marco to develop a detailed
site and house plan which will be presented to the EDA at a public hearing on October
15.
REQUESTED EDA ACTION: EDA tentative approval of the purchase proposal with
Elin Marco Group for the EDA lot at 5417- 35th Avenue North.

property to a builder, the EDA is being asked to approve the dedication of an easement to
allow the city to maintain this infrastructure.

SUBJECT: Information item - proposed city flag banners for street light poles
EDA STAFF REPORT
Information item - Proposed Banners
As part of the city’s ongoing branding efforts
and the EDA’s 2019 work program, staff
intends to proceed with ordering new banners
for the 50 street light poles in the Bass Lake
Road / West Broadway area that have banner
arms.
• The simple design of the banners is
intended to achieve the greatest visual
impact at the lowest possible cost. This is
consistent with the principles that drove the
flag design.
• The material would be “Sunbrella” fabric
with a three-year warranty and an
anticipated life of ten years.
• We would order 60 banners so we would
have ten spares. The cost is $69 per
banner, meaning $4,140 for the 60-banner
order. There are sufficient funds in the EDA
budget for this purchase.
• Installation is anticipated by the end of
2019, depending on weather conditions
and public works staff/equipment
availability.
This is an informational item and no EDA
action is required.

5. Regular Agenda
5.1. The Council will consider approval of disbursements over $25,000 submitted by the finance
department to the city council, a list that is on file in the office of the finance department.
Recommend approval of disbursements over $25,000.
5.2. The Council will consider resolutions approving the preliminary 2020 budget and property tax
and HRA levies.
Over the last months, the Council has had several work sessions to discuss the 2020
preliminary budget, including the Long Term Plan, the preliminary property tax levy and the
HRA tax levy. Finance Director McGann will review the 2020 budget and levy information at
the September 17 meeting. Recommend adopting the resolutions approving the preliminary
2020 budget and property tax and HRA levies as discussed at the September 3 work session.
5.3. The Council will consider tentative acceptance of a builder proposal for 5238 and 5244 Scott
Avenue North.
Last year, the Council identified several surplus properties, including those at 5238 and 5244
Scott Avenue, to be sold to generate funds for the Park Improvement Fund. Proposals were
solicited for construction of single family homes on these lots. One proposal was received
from a builder, Elin Marco Group. Recommend tentative acceptance of the proposal from Elin
Marco Group for construction on 5238 and 5244 Scott Avenue North.
5.4. The Council will consider a lot consolidation plat for 5232 and 5238 Scott Avenue North.
Because the lots at 5232 and 5238 Scott (surplus property) were originally platted for
townhomes, staff is recommending that these parcels be consolidated into one lot for a single
family home. Recommend approval of the lot consolidation plat for 5232 and 5238 Scott
Avenue North.
5.5. The Council will consider a resolution rescinding the parking restrictions on a portion of Sumter
Avenue North.
This summer staff received a request about parking restrictions on Sumter between 30th and
32nd Avenues so staff reviewed the current restrictions and determined there is no need for
those restrictions. Subsequently staff tried a “pilot project” by temporarily removing the no
parking and 2 hour parking signs in this area and using the message board to advise drivers of
the change. Since there have been no reasons to not continue this, staff is recommending
approval of a resolution rescinding the parking restrictions on Sumter Avenue between 30th
and 32nd Avenues.

SUBJECT: Imposition of Deed Restrictions on Becker Park Property
The City of Crystal owns and operates Becker Park, and has recently made significant
improvements to the park. To help fund these park improvements, including a unique inclusive
play area, several grants were sought and approved by various governmental agencies. One
such grant was from the Minnesota DNR in the amount of $150,000. The Crystal City Council
approved application for the grant on February 20, 2018 and approved DNR Contract LW27-
01422 to accept the grant on October 16, 2018.
To comply with the DNR contract and receive reimbursement of these funds, the City of Crystal
must have two conditions recorded on the deed for Becker Park. This is the property outlined
in red dashes on the attached map (Attachment C of Contract LW27-01422). They are:
1.The property shall be permanently managed and maintained for public outdoor
recreation use.
2.The City of Crystal shall not at any time convert any portion of the park area to
uses other than public outdoor recreation use without the prior written approval of the
State acting through its commissioner of natural resources and the National Park
Service,
Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution authorizing imposition of deed restrictions
on Becker Park property.

RE: Consider tentative acceptance of proposal by Elin Marco Group for
the lots at 5238 and 5244 Scott Avenue North
Elin Marco Group has submitted a proposal to purchase the lots at 5238 and 5244
Scott Avenue North. They have offered to pay a total of $51,000 for both lots. Currently
the lots are platted as three lots, two of which are very small. At the August 20, 2019
meeting, Council directed that the two smallest lots be consolidated into one lot to be
addressed as 5238 Scott Avenue. The approval of that lot consolidation is on the
Council’s September 17, 2019 agenda. Both lots also have poor soils to a depth of 20 –
25 feet, which must be addressed by the builder. Given these soils issues, the $51,000
offer is reasonable. Elin Marco Group is a state-licensed residential building contractor
with no enforcement actions.
Attached are an aerial photo, builder’s proposal form, property survey, and a general
illustration/example of the type of home that could be built on the se lots. If the Council
gives tentative approval of the lot sales, staff will work with Elin Marco to develop
detailed site and house plans which will be presented to the Council at a public hearing
on October 15.
REQUESTED ACTION: Council tentative approval of the purchase proposal with Elin
Marco Group for the lots at 5238 and 5244 Scott Avenue North.

DATE: September 12, 2019
RE: Consider adoption of a resolution approving a lot consolidation of 5232
and 5238 Scott Avenue North
A.BACKGROUND
In 2018 City Council determined that lots adjacent to the dedicated Soo Line Park are
surplus land that could be developed for new single-family homes. The two lots at 5232
and 5238 Scott are small – approximately 3,000 and 3,800 square feet respectively.
These lots were originally platted in 1983 as part of ‘Rolling Green of Crystal’ which
resulted in the development commonly referred to as the Angeline Avenue townhomes.
These particular lots were not built upon due to soil conditions which made construction
infeasible at that time. The lots were tax forfeited and the city acquired them from the
state in 1989. The public use deed restriction expired earlier this year and the city may
now sell these lots for development.
Staff proposes to consolidate these lots into one lot of 6,864 square feet which would
meet the City’s minimum lot area of 6,000 square feet for a single-family home. The
proposed plat combining these lots is named Soo Line Park Addition. According to the
unified development code (UDC), a public hearing is not required for a lot consolidation.
Attachments:
A. Proposed Soo Line Park Addition final plat
B. Resolution
B. PROPOSED LOT CONSOLIDATION
The two lots included in the consolidation are addressed as 5232 and 5238 Scott Avenue
North. The consolidated lot would be addressed as 5238 Scott Avenue North.

2. Easements - There are existing drainage and utility easements for these lots in the Rolling
Green of Crystal plat. These easements will remain in the Soo Line Park Addition.
3. Park dedication – According to city code section 510.23, Subd. 3 (d), lot consolidation
applications are not subject to park dedication requirements.

5232 & 5238 SCOTT – LOT CONSOLIDATION APPLICATION
PAGE 3 OF 3
Criteria for approval of a lot consolidation
The following are the approval criteria in city code section 510.23, Subd. 3 for approval of
lot consolidation applications, followed by staff’s findings of these criteria.
(a) The consolidation must be in general compliance with the comprehensive plan.
Findings: On the 2030 Planned Land Use map, the properties are guided as
Park but they are also zoned R-1 Low Density Residential. This consolidation
meets the plan’s goal of allowing for land use flexibility so that parks can
adapt to the changing needs of the neighborhood and the community. The
development of these lots for single-family homes also achieves the goal of
providing new housing opportunities in Crystal.
(b) The consolidation must meet the purpose and intent of this unified development
code (UDC).
Findings: The purpose of the UDC is to establish regulations that allow for the
development of properties, but which avoid or minimize negative impacts to
the general public or adjacent properties. The proposed use of these
properties for single-family homes will not produce negative impacts to the
surrounding neighborhood.
(c) Unless prior or concurrent approval of a variance is granted, any such consolidation
shall result in lots that, to the greatest extent possible, meet the dimensional
requirements for the zoning district in which the property is located, and shall not
further increase the nonconformity of any lot dimension or structure.
Findings: Currently the two lots do not meet the UDC’s minimum lot
dimensional requirements. With this consolidation the lots will now be in
conformance to those requirements. No variances are proposed for this lot
consolidation.
C. REQUESTED ACTION
City Council motion to approve the proposed resolution (Attachment B) is requested.

TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Rescinding parking restrictions on Sumter Ave N
Summary
This past summer the City was contacted by the
apartment management company regarding the on-
street parking restrictions on Sumter Ave between 30th
Ave and 32nd Ave. They were wondering about the
reasoning for the no parking being permitted on the
east side of the street and only two hour parking being
allowed on the west side of the street.
Staff looked into the history of why the parking
restrictions were there and did not find anything. In
late July, staff removed the parking restriction signs
from both sides of Sumter Ave N as a pilot project to
see if any issues were identified. No complaints have
been received or issues have been observed. It is
recommended to now make these changes permanent.
Parking Summary
On street parking will be permitted on both sides of the
street. The overtime no on-street parking restriction
will still apply.
Recommended Action
Motion to approve the resolution rescinding the parking restrictions on Sumter Avenue North between
30th Ave and 32nd Ave.

WHEREAS, the City has completed an engineering study of the corridor which
