F. GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Developmental Status Report.
Commissioner Sears asked how many properties are like 4532 Douglas in
Crystal. Planner Sutter replied that there is no way of knowing, but it
seems relatively rare. Typically the city is made aware of situations like
this when the owner comes forward with a building project.
Commissioner Strand asked what is the status of Brunswick Villas.
Plamler Sutter stated that this project is moving along slowly, and the
builder doesn't seem to have intentions of moving the project along
quicker. The city is referring inquiries on the properties to the builder.
The city does not know if any of the buildings have sold.
Commissioner Kruger asked about the Carpet King business. Planner
Sutter replied that they have changed their plans, and will be staying in the
existing building, and redoing the landscaping.
Commissioner Kruger asked about the Highway 100 properties. Planner
Sutter replied that a memo had been sent to MNDOT, and that he would
be checking back with them in December regarding the turnback
properties.
Commissioner Kruger asked what the potential was for businesses on the
highway 100 properties. Planner Sutter replied that the only potential
location that would be usable for a commercial property would be the
small triangle shaped property next to the Cub lot. However the city would
like to maintain site control of that property.
2. City Council actions on recent Planning Commission items.
3. Revised schedule for considering Special Land Use Applications in 2005.
4. Staff preview of likely items for the November 14, 2005 meeting

DATE: November 7, 2005
TO: Planning Commission (November 14th meeting)
FROM: ohn Sutter, Planner and Redevelopment Coordinator
SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Consider Application 2005-13 for Lot Division at 4047
Douglas Drive North to detach the west 88 feet of the property and
incorporate it into the adjacent Hagemeister Pond Park.
A. BACKGROUND
The City of Crystal is gradually acquiring property for Hagemeister Pond Park. The
property at 4047 Douglas Drive North is approximately 83 feet wide and 295 feet deep,
with an area of 24,558 sq. ft. (0.56 acres). The city has determined that it would be
desirable for the part of the lot more than 5 feet west of the garage, hereinafter called
the "subject property", to be added to the park. The subject property is 83 feet wide
and 88 feet deep, with an area of 7,316 sq. ft. (0.17 acres). The current owner, Denise
Seth, has agreed to sell the subject property to the city.
The following Exhibits are attached:
A. Map from the Hagemeister Pond Park planning process.
B. Hennepin County aerial photo and plat map showing the proposed acquisition.
C. Detailed contour map showing the proposed acquisition.
D. Survey showing the proposed acquisition.
B. STAFF COMMENTS
The parcel remaining with the house at 4047 Douglas would be 83 feet wide and 207
feet deep, or 17,242 sq. ft. in area (0.40 acre). The existing house, garage and site
improvements would remain on the downsized 4047 Douglas parcel and would easily
comply with setbacks and other requirements of Crystal City Code. The new park
parcel would be combined with the existing adjacent park property. The proposed lot
division would be in full compliance with city code. Staff can foresee no negative
impacts resulting from lot division.
C. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Application 2005-13 for Lot Division at 4047 Douglas
Drive North. Planning Commission action is requested.
