Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Koss to approve the minutes of the November 8, 1999 meeting. Motion carried. Chair Magnuson declared this was the time and the place as advertised for a public hearing to consider Application 2000-1.8 for Lot Division, submitted by City of Crystal Economic Development Authority (applicant and owner), for division of property located at 4510 Brunswick Avenue North (P.LD. 09-118- 2133 0099) into two lots, each of which would be sold for construction of a new single family house. Planner Sutter reviewed the proposed lot division, indicating that proposals are in the process of being solicited from builders potentially interested in the lots, and that the houses could be built with no variances. Roger Van Risseghem, 4500 Brunswick Avenue North, was interested in finding out how close to the property line the house would be built because in the future he may want to put a 9 -foot addition on to his garage. It was indicated that the house could be 5 feet from the side lot line. He also expressed concern about a large maple tree on that site that he feels is dying and should be removed. Planner Sutter will consult with the City Forester and indicated that the City of Crystal will follow the City Forester's recommendations. Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Krueger to close the public hearing. Motion carried. Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner VonRueden to recommend to City Council to approve Application 2000-1.8 for Lot Division, submitted by City of Crystal Economic Development Authority (applicant and owner), for division of property located at 4510 Brunswick Avenue North (P.I.D. 09-118-2133 0099) into two lots, each of which would be sold for construction of a new single family house. The finding of fact are as follows: The proposal complies with the requirements for lot divisions in Crystal City Code. It will also provide additional opportunities for construction of new housing of a type which is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment goals. Motion carried. 4. Chair Magnuson declared this was the time and the place as advertised for a public hearing to consider Application 2000-2.8 for Lot Division and Combination, submitted by City of Crystal (applicant and owner), for division of property located at 6403 41st Avenue North (P.LD. 17-118-21 14 0013) into two lots, one of which would be sold for construction of a new single family house while the other would be attached to and made a part of the abutting Hagemeister Pond park (P.I.D. 17-118-21 14 0059). Planner Sutter reviewed the proposed plats and said the parcel meant for the single family house would greatly exceed requirements for lot size in the City of Crystal. The remaining 100' would be made a part of Hagemeister Pond park. The Planning Commission expressed concerns with adequate parking for those wishing to use the park and questioned access to the park. Planner Sutter indicated that the City Hall parking lot could be used for parking, pedestrian access would be through the existing path, and that the Parks Commission and Public Works Department would be working together on any modifications to the property such as walking trails or a possible parking lot. No one appeared in opposition. Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Krueger to close the public hearing. Motion carried. Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Eisen to recommend to the City Council to approve Application 2000-2.8 for Lot Division and Combination, submitted by City of Crystal (applicant and owner), for division of property located at 6403 41st Avenue North (P.I.D. 17-118-21 14 0013) into two lots, one of which would be sold for construction of a new single family house while the other would be attached to and made a part of the abutting Hagemeister Pond park (P.I.D. 17-118-21 14 0059). The findings of fact are as follows: The proposal complies with the requirements for lot divisions in Crystal City Code. It will also provide an additional opportunity for construction of new housing of a type which is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment goals. Motion carried. Chair Magnuson declared this was the time and the place as advertised for a public hearing to consider Application 2000-3.3 for Site Plan Review, submitted by Belt Line Pet Hospital (applicant) and Zev Oman (owner), to move an existing veterinary clinic building presently located at 3443 Vera Cruz Avenue North onto property located at 3200 Douglas Drive North (P.I.D. 21-118-2123 0114). Planner Sutter stated that the Commission had previously approved site plan for this applicant in November for construction of a new building, but applicant decided they would like to move their existing building onto the site instead. The basic concept would be the same, with a slight change in orientation and landscaping. It has not yet been determined if the existing building meets City Code, but if not, it would be required to be brought up to code. There would be a basement under the building, with one-half to be used for puppy training classes after clinic business hours so parking would be sufficient. Siding and roof would be replaced to blend in more with the surrounding residential area. Commission members expressed strong concern over the location of the entrance to the parking lot being off 32nd Avenue rather than Douglas. They stated that Douglas Drive is heavily traveled, and people waiting to get onto Douglas Drive from 32nd Avenue could block the entrance to the parking lot, therefore backing up traffic on Douglas Drive and causing an unsafe situation. Planner Sutter indicated that he had previously spoken with the County Highway Department and they had preferred that access be off a side street. The Planning Commission indicated that they would like the access to be off Douglas Drive and directed Planner Sutter to contact the County Highway Department again to see if that would be permissible. If access off Douglas Drive is not approved by the County Highway Department, then a minimum 30' setback from the 32nd Avenue driveway and Douglas Drive right-of-way must be provided. The Commission also had other concerns, one of which was how the City could regulate the hours the clinic was open so it did not overlap with the hours they conducted puppy training classes. If both were open simultaneously, they felt there would be inadequate parking at the site. Since the quantity of parking stalls for the puppy classes was not being based on square footage due to it being a unique use, there were also questions about adequate parking for future use of the building should the property be sold. In addition, there is debris located at the rear of the property that the Commission would like cleaned up. Terry Christiansen, applicant, stated that he had no problem with relocating the driveway as proposed. He addressed the concerns of the Planning Commission, stating that the person doing the puppy training classes also works at the clinic, and therefore could only do after hours training. He also agreed that they would have no problem removing the debris that could be seen visibly at the surface. Moved by Commissioner Elsen and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to close the public hearing. Motion carried. Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Elsen to recommend to the City Council to approve Application 2000-3.3 for Site Plan Review, submitted by Belt Line Pet Hospital (applicant) and Zev Oman (owner), to move an existing veterinary clinic building presently located at 3443 Vera Cruz Avenue North onto property located at 3200 Douglas Drive North (P.I.D. 21-118-21 23 0114) subject to the following conditions: ❑ All signage shall be in compliance with Crystal City Code. ❑ Additional low plantings shall be added along the north side of the parking lot to enhance the screening from the adjacent house. ❑ All lighting shall be in compliance with Crystal City Code. No exterior lighting shall be permitted on the north and east sides of the building, except for necessary security lighting subject to the approval of City staff. ❑ Moving of the building shall be in compliance with Crystal City Code. ❑ No building permit shall be issued until the applicant executes the required Site Improvement Agreement. ❑ Parking lot access shall be moved to the north end of the property off Douglas Drive if permitted by County Highway Department. If not, the setback of the driveway on 32nd Avenue shall be increased to 30 feet from the Douglas Drive right-of-way. ❑ The applicant shall clean up debris visible at surface at the rear of the property. ❑ The number of off-street parking stalls shall be increased by minimum of 2 stalls, yielding a total of 16 or more stalls. ❑ Lower level usage shall be limited to 1/2 storage and '/2 puppy classes. Puppy classes shall only be held when the veterinary clinic is not open, and shall not have participants in excess of the number of off-street parking stalls. In the event that the property is sold or the use is changed, the lower level shall only be used for storage due to the limited amount of parking on the site. The findings of fact are as follows: The proposal is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance provided the above conditions are met. Motion carried. Discussion Item: Review concept plan for 8 unit townhouse development proposed for property located at 6900 42nd Avenue North. Planner Sutter presented the proposed plan, submitted by Prime Builders, for the 8 unit townhouse development on a 1.7 acre site, stating that at 4.7 units per acre it would be consistent with the density requirements in the City's Comprehensive Plan. He also indicated that one of townhouses was shown as facing the side of another, and that it may be possible to change the orientation of that building so it overlooks the pond like the others. When questioned, he stated that he did not know if soil testing bad been done on the property. The Planning Commission had numerous concerns related to this issue. The proposed road was discussed, addressing the location and width, and whether it would allow enough room for emergency response vehicles. Planner Sutter stated that the width would be 32 feet, that allowing for parking on one side there would still be 24 feet remaining, and that this is comparable to state -aid streets like 32nd Avenue. The Planning Commission directed Planner Sutter to consult with the West -Metro Fire Department and the Police Department to get their views on public safety access concerns. The proximity of the buildings to the flood plain, base price and maintenance of the units, if builder would encourage buyers to finish lower level, re -zoning of property, and whether residents have been contacted were also discussed. John DeVries, Prime Builders, the proposed developer of the lot, indicated that they have done soil borings at the property. He also stated that it was not in the 100 year flood plain, and was actually close to the 500 year flood plain. He estimated that the base price would be in the $105,000 — $110,000 area with a mean price of $130,000 — $140,000. The townhouses would be association maintained by a management company, but after the initial one-year contract expires, the residents could choose to self - manage or change management companies. He also stated that the surrounding residents have not been contacted yet. Joel DeVries, also of Prime Builders, stated that approximately 60% of people end up finishing the lower level of their unit. The Planning Commission was favorable to the developer continuing to proceed with this project and plan a neighborhood meeting to take place later in January 2000. It was also suggested that the townhouse be turned to overlook the pond, berming be done on west side of road, and that developer keep within the boundaries of the PUD. 7. Discussion Item: Metal as an exterior building material. Planner Sutter suggested that since two of the Commissioners who felt strongly about this issue were absent, that it be continued to the February 14`h, 1999 meeting. The Planning Commission agreed, but directed Planner Sutter to put this issue toward the beginning of the agenda because it needs to be addressed. Information Items: Quarterly Development Status Report; Planning Commission Attendance for 1999; and Due Dates for Planning & Zoning Applications in 2000. 9. Informal discussion and announcements: Planner Sutter stated that staff would be sending minutes with the agenda summary so Planning Commission members will need to remember to bring them with to the meeting. Chair Magnuson requested that the non -approved Planning Commission minutes go to the City Council right away, and Planner Sutter stated that this is the current practice and that the Council appreciates prompt receipt of the minutes. 10. Moved by Commissioner Eisen and seconded by Commissioner Krueger to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m. Motion carried.

After reviewing the material, we have just one concern: the proposed building setback of 3.75 feet from the north property line. You informed us that the City of Crystal has no minimum building setback from this particular property line in your industrial district, which surprised us. The proposal includes a 3 -foot wide roof overhang on a sloping roof that would end 6 inches from the property line at the top of a hill. For many reasons, including rooftop and surface drainage, present and future utility needs, building security and landscaping maintenance, we have imposed a 5 or 10 foot minimum setback in all zoning districts, except for industrial rear yard setbacks at railroad. rights-of-way (100 + feet wide). Since 1985, we have required perimeter drainage and utility easements of 5 or 10 feet on new plats. It has not been unusual to see unanticipated utility, drainage or security issues pop up at a later date. Is there a 5 -foot drainage and utility easement on this property? We would recommend a north building wall setback of 5 feet and clarification of ground cover and drainage in that narrow strip of land under a sloping roof. In addition, we would recommend that the rate of runoff for the property be restricted to pre -improvement conditions.

Kevitt (owner) Construction of a 41'x 130' addition to an existing building on property zoned 1-2 Heavy Industrial A. BACKGROUND The applicant/owner is proposing to construct a 41' x 130' addition to the existing building located at 3335 Pennsylvania Avenue. The purpose of the building would be the enclosed storage of machinery and equipment. (Note: the west side of the building overlaps the existing building by 1'; this means that the building width is 42' along its western edge but it only extends 41' north of the existing building.) The property is zoned 1-2 Heavy Industrial. The building addition requires Site Plan Review, including a public hearing before the Planning Commission prior to consideration by the City Council. Notice of the public hearing was mailed to the City of New Hope and all Crystal property owners within 350' of the subject property on March 29, 2000. The applicant received a Conditional Use Permit (C.U.P.) on July 5, 1995 to allow fill material to be stored on the site. The Building Official verified that the conditions were; complied with as of September 6, 1996 but a site visit in March 2000 revealed that there are some items that have since fallen out of compliance. Specifically, the area around the pipe running from the treatment pond to the wetland needs to be re -sealed, and the berm around the wetland needs to be restored along part of the stockpile area. These items will need to be corrected before a building permit is issued for the addition (please see the conditions in "Recommendation" below). The following informational items are attached: ❑ plat map showing the location of the subject property; ❑ comments received from abutting property owner (3440 Winpark Dr, New Hope); ❑ Planning Commission minutes (June 25, 1995), City Council staff report (July 5, 1995), a memo from the Building Official stating that the requirements of the 1995 Conditional Use Permit had been met, and the site plan approved in 1995; ❑ site plan showing proposed addition (also included is 1995 grading plan); ❑ architect's drawing of proposed building addition. B. STAFF COMMENTS The subject property is guided for industrial uses and is zoned 1-2 Heavy Industrial. The proposed use of the building addition - storage of vehicles and equipment - is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is a permitted use in the 1-2 District. The surrounding land uses are a mixture of residential (condos across the railroad tracks to the east) and industrial (in all other directions). Abutting properties in the City of Crystal are zoned R-4 High Density Residential and 1-2 Heavy Industrial. Abutting properties in the City of New Hope are zoned industrial. The proposed building would be approximately 41'x 130', plus a 1' overlap west of the existing building, for a total of 5,390 sq. ft. of gross floor area. It would have exterior walls of concrete block with an exterior finish to match the existing building. The roof would be a hip roof with shingles. Staff believes that the building design with its hipped roof is very appealing for an industrial district, and that no screening or buffering is necessary given the nature of the surrounding land uses and the relative isolation of the property. No setbacks are required from the side or rear lot lines in the 1-2 District. The applicant is proposing a 5' setback from the east property line (to match the existing building) and a 3.75' setback from the north property line (41' north of the existing building). Note that the setbacks do not include eaves, which extend 3' into each setback.) The abutting owner to the north has requested that the setback along the north property line be increased to 5'. Staff preference is to approve the setback as shown, subject to a determination by the Building Official that the building, footings and eaves comply with all applicable building codes, and that all drainage will be accommodated on the subject property. (Note: In 1999, the Planning Commission did require a 5' setback for the Mayer Electric building to reduce the chance of drainage problems or snow sliding into an adjacent parcel.) Because the proposed addition will be used for the storage of vehicles and equipment presently stored outside, no change in parking demand is anticipated. In addition, with" the 1996 revisions to our parking requirements, the requirement for this facility has decreased from 40 stalls to 17 stalls. Provided parking includes 16 stalls (striped and hard surfaced) plus 24 future stalls ("proof of parking"); this was approved as part of the 1995 site plan and Conditional Use Permit and, with a total of 40 stalls, greatly exceeds the current parking requirements. A Site Improvement Agreement will not be required for this project because no site improvement are being proposed. C. SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF FACT The request is consistent with the requirements of Crystal City Code, provided the attached conditions are satisfied. SITE PLAN REVIEW - 3335 PENNSYLVANIA AVE N 2 D. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Application 2000-4.3 for Site Plan Review, submitted by Kevitt Excavating (applicant) and Scott V. Kevitt (owner), for construction of a 41' x 130' building addition on property located at 3335 Pennsylvania Avenue North (P.I.D. 20- 118-21-23-0009) and zoned 1-2 Heavy Industrial, subject to the following conditions: 1. The area around the pipe running from the treatment pond to the wetland shall be re -sealed to the conditions required by the 1995 Conditional Use Permit, prior to the issuance of any building permit for this property. 2. The berm around the wetland shall be restored to the conditions required by the 1995 Conditional Use Permit, prior to the issuance of any building permit for this property. 3. The Building Official shall determine if the proposed building can be constructed in accordance with all applicable building codes, and shall have the authority to require the applicant to reduce the size of the proposed addition if necessary. 4. The Building Official shall determine if the proposed building can be constructed in a way in which all drainage is accommodated on the subject property, and shall have the authority to require the applicant to reduce the size of the proposed addition if necessary. The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation on the request for City Council consideration.

With respect to the proposed Kevitt Excavating I would like to raise the following concerns: Building Set Back. Because of the steep hilt between our facilities, overhead electrical lines and roof water run off, we feel a minimum 5 foot set back would be applicable. This would allow for reasonable access around the facility for life safety, maintenance and other needs, and also insure that the facility and facility footings would not cause an Issue with the adjacent hill. We also trust that reasonable measures will be in place to capture and direct roof water runoff onto the Kevitt site, and not onto our site. WE support Mr. Kevitt and his desire to put on a building addition, and wish to cooperate with this project and hope that the following above issues ran be adequately addressed_ Sincerely, Todd Geller Partner, WinPark Associates LLC r its .......... r+ ; M CRYSTAL PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES Jure 26, 1995 The special meeting of the Crystal Planning Commission convened at 7:00 p.m. with the following present: Elsen, Koss, Madden, Magnuson, Maloney, Nystrom, Risvold and Von Rueden; the following was absent: Lundeen; also present was Planner Peaslee. 1. Chair Magnuson declared this was a continuation of the public hearing to consider Application #95-7.3 for a site plan review and Application #95-7.4 for a conditional use permit to allow storing fill in an I-2 District at 3335 Pennsylvania Ave. N. as submitted by Kevitt Excavating, 3335 Pennsylvania Ave. N. No one appeared in opposition. Moved by Commissioner Elsen and seconded by Commissioner Risvold to close the public hearing. Motion carried. Moved by Commissioner Elsen and seconded by Commissioner Madden to recc=end to the City Council to approve Application #95-7.3 for a site plan review and Application #95-7.4 for a conditional use permit to allow storing fill in an I-2 (Heavy Industrial) District (Section 515.37, Subd. 4 b) at 3335 Pennsylvania Ave. N., P.I.D. #20-118-21-23- 0009, as submitted by Kevitt Excavating. The findings of fact are: • The CUP for storage of black dirt in the I-2 Industrial District at 3335 Pennsylvania Avenue is not inconsistent with the comprehensive plan in that as the storage is approximately 15% of the site, it is incidental to the use as a contractor's yard and shop, and extensive measures to protect the environment, including a site maintenance agreement, have been taken. • The use will not tend to depreciate the area because a portion of the trees and other vegetation will be left in a natural state buffering the pond and neighboring property. The site is located in the middle of an industrial district and is isolated from view from local and collector streets as well as neighboring property, industrially zoned or otherwise. • The character of the area is consistent with the proposed use and uses other -Rise permitted in the zone in that this is the 0 61L June 26, 1995 - Continued 49 only use within the area which is so screened from other industrial uses and streets. • There is a demonstrated need. The Planning Commission recoa'mends the City Counc4_1 approve a Conditional Use Permit to allow additional expansion of open and outdoor storage in an I-2 (Heavy Industrial) Tistrict) at 3335 Pennsylvania, subject to the site plan and the following conditions: 1. Implement an approved erosion control and dust control plan during construction, including installation of silt fence along the perimeter of the pond and the berm and swale until the site has been vegetated. The area to be vegetated includes but is not limited to the slope of the stockpile, the slopes of the sedimentation pond, and the slope of the wetland where the applicant previously filled and denuded the wetland of vegetation. 2. Landscape all open and disturbed areas. 3. Storage of materials shall be limited to black dirt, top soil and mineral soils. Processing of material s�-ail be limited to screening and sorting. Storage of concrete and asphalt, or processing, crushing or pulverizing of same is not permitted. 4. Any expansion of the storage area will require consideration of the Planning Commission and approval of the City Council. 5. Fill and boulders deposited around trees designated to be saved should be removed immediately. Trees designated to be preserved must be protected during the construction and afterward to a distance 12 times the diameter of the tree. 6. Preserve or replace all trees over 12" diameter. Replacement trees must be over 5" diameter. Two 3" trees may be substituted for each 5" replacement. 7. Enter into a site maintenance agreement with the City to guarantee maintenance of the erosion control measures. 8. Adjacent streets must be swept as necessary during hauling operations to remove mud, dust, and other debris. 9. The site shall be operated and maintained in a dust free manner. 10. An easement must be granted at the end of Pennsylvania Avenue to facilitate City street maintenance equipment turning around. 11. Permanent markers must be installed around the edge of the stockpile area. 12. All fighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source shall not be visible from the public right of way or from neighboring residences. 13.

Peaslee, Planner/Housing Redevelopment Coordinator SUBJ.: Request of Kevitt Excavating for a conditional use permit to allow storing fill in an 1-2 (Heavy Industrial) District at 3335 Pennsylvania Ave. N., P.I.D. #20-118- 21-23-0009. DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW: BACKGROUND: Anne Norris I In June of 1994, the city issued a conditional use permit to Kevitt Excavating for a contractor's yard, subject to a site plan, at 3335 Pennsylvania Avenue No. The site plan included, a :cording to the staff report dated 6/16/1994. "a structure which would include office area, storage and large repair garagre to house equipment being repaired. The yard to the west of the building will be used for storage of equipment, some stock piling of materials used in his business and parking for employees." Kevitt Excavating has now requested additional area to stock pile "materials used in his business," ie., black dirt. STAFF COMMENTS: The property was not in complete compliance with conditions set forth in the site plan agreement and conditional use permit memo. The Planning Commission layed this item over from June 12 to June 26 to give the property owner time to bring this into compliance and to evaluate the wooded area as part of the city's tree preservation ordinance. Among the items added to this permit are compliance with the tree preservation ordinance, and a maintenance agreement. The conditional use permit also notes the responsibility of the operator to clean streets of dust, mud, dirt etc., that may be dropped by trucks hauling black dirt. SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF FACT: The Planning Commission adopted the following findings: ■ The CUP for storage of black dirt in the 1-2 Industrial District at 3335 Pennsylvania Avenue is not inconsistent with the comprehensive plan in that it the storage is approximately 15% of the site, is incidental to the ,i I e r use as a contractor's yard and shop, and extensive measures to protect the environment, including a site maintenance agreement, have been taken ■ The use will not tend to depreciate the area because a portion of the trees and other vegetation will be left in a natural state buffering the pond and neighboring property. The site is located in the middle of an industrial district and is isolated from view from local and collector streets as well as neighboring property, industrially zoned or otherwise. ■ The character of the area is consistent with the proposed use and uses otherwise permitted in the zone in that this is the only use within the area which is so screened from other industrial uses and streets. ■ There is a demonstrated need, in light of the continuing use of this property for such use. COMMISSION ACTION: The Planning Commission recommended the City Council approve a Conditional Use Permit to allow additional expansion of open and outdoor storage in a 1-2 (Heavy Industrial District) at 3335 Pennsylvania, subject to the site plan and the following conditions: Implement an approved erosion control and dust control plan during construction, including instaillation of silt fence along the perimeter of the pond and the berm and swale until the site has been vegetated. The area to be vegetated includes but is not limited to the slope of the stockpile, the slopes of the sedimentation pond, and the slope of the wetland where the applicant previously filled and denuded the wetland of vegetation. 2. Landscape all open and disturbed areas. 3. Storage of materials shall be limited to black dirt, top soil and mineral soils. Processing of material shall be limited to screening and sorting. Storage of concrete and asphalt, or processing, crushing or pulverizing of same is not permitted. .' 4. Any expansion of the storage area will require consideration of the Planning Commission and approval of the City Council - 5. Fill and boulders deposited around trees designated to be saved should be removed immediately. Trees designated to be preserved must be protected during the construction and afterward to a distance twelve times the diameter of the tree. 6. Preserve or replace all trees over 12" diameter. Replacement trees must be over 5" diameter. Two 3" trees may be substituted for each 5" replacement 7. Enter into a site maintenance agreement with the city to guarantee maintenance of the erosion control measures 8. Adjacent streets must be swept as necessary during hauling operations to remove mud, dust, and other debris 2 KEVITT EXCAVATING CUP 9. The site shall be operated and maintained in a dust free manner. 10. An easement must be granted at the end of Pennsylvania Avenue to facilitate City street maintenance equipment turning around. 11. Permanent markers must be installed around the edge of the stockpile area. 12. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source shall not be visible from the public right of way or from neighboring residences. 13. Prepare and submit "as built" plans. 14. Provide all lot irons in place and to grade at the time of final acceptance. RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommends the City Council approve the Conditional Use Permit as noted above, a site plan agreement, and site mainter mce agreement. 3 KEVITT EXCAVATING CUP DATE: September 6, 1996 TO: Jerry Dulgar, City Manager FROM: Bill Barber, Building Officiir%"' RE: 3335 Pennsylvania Avenue North Kevitt Excavating Inc. Department Head Review: & " !Ip 0 I inspected the site recently to verify compliance with the site plan agreement. The original project items have been satisfactory complied with. The second phase of his project included expanding his storage area and was required to provide certain berms to prohibit silt from entry the pond as much as possible. This new berm area has been seeded and vegetation is growing. I am recommending that the final surety being held be release to Scott Kevitt of Kevitt Excavating. The City Council approval is required to release the final amount and for the City interest in this account to end. I am recommending the City Council authorize the final release of the surety remaining. Should you have any questions, please contact me. EXISTING BUILDING I F IUTTE F. EET C EXIST US RENCI- ET 3?

RITA NYSTROM SECRETARY PLANNING COMMISSION Published in the Crystal Robbinsdale Sun Post on March 29, 2000 I I I I N Z ILI I M E M O R A N D U M DATE: March 29, 2000 TO: Planning Commission (April 10th meeting — Item # 3) FROM: Tom Daniel, intern .T John Sutter, Planner SUBJECT: Application 2000-5.1,3,8 Rezoning, Site Plan Review, and Preliminary Plat Applicant: John DeVries Owner: Donald R. Fetzek Eight -unit townhouse development at 6900 42nd Avenue North A. BACKGROUND The applicant, John DeVries of Prime Builders, Inc., is proposing to construct eight new townhouse -style single family attached residences (four pairs) on property located at 6900 42nd Avenue North. The project site is currently used as a very large single-family house lot; the house is an older farmhouse -style building built in 1900. The applicant is proposing to rezone the lot to Planned Unit Development. The project requires a new plat and site plan review. An initial concept review discussion was held before the Planning Commission on January 10, 2000. A second discussion of the project was held during the Planning Commission's February 28, 2000 work session. An informational meeting with the neighborhood was held on January 27, 2000 at Crystal City Hall. Notice of the neighborhood meeting was mailed to properties within 700 feet of the subject property. Notice of the April 10th public hearing was also mailed to properties within 700 feet of the subject property and was published in the Sun Post on March 29, 2000. The following informational items are attached: ❑ current zoning map showing proposed zoning change; ❑ plat map showing the location of the subject property; ❑ Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) letter regarding potential contamination; ❑ 11" x17" copies of the following: - preliminary plat - preliminary grading, drainage and erosion control plan - preliminary utility, sanitary sewer, water line, and storm sewer plan - site and landscape plan - building elevations - building floor plans B. STAFF COMMENTS 1. Rezoning The subject and the surrounding properties are presently zoned R-1 Single Family Residential. Single-family attached (townhouse) develop is permitted either in the R-3 District or the Planned Unit Development (PUD) District. The developer is applying for rezoning to PUD., Part of the purpose of the PUD District is to encourage the following: ❑ preservation of desirable site characteristics and open space and protection of sensitive environmental features, including steep slopes, poor soils and trees; ❑ more efficient and effective use of land, open space and public facilities through mixing of land uses and assembly and development of land in larger parcels; ❑ high quality of design and design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both existing and planned; ❑ sensitive development in transitional areas located between different land uses and along significant corridors within the City; and ❑ development which is consistent with the comprehensive plan. (City Code 515.52, Subd. 1 (d, e, f, g, h)) Staff believes the proposed development corresponds well with the purpose of the PUD District. The type of housing is consistent with the needs identified in the Comprehensive Plan for more units, especially units appealing to empty nesters and others wanting low maintenance one -level living. The Comprehensive Plan guides the site for low density residential uses of up to 5 units per gross acre; with a PUD the City could grant a density bonus yielding no more than 5.5 units per gross acre (1.7 acres x 5.5 = 9 units). The developer is proposing eight units, or 4.7 units per gross acre. Typically, PUDs are required to have a minimum area of two acres. However, they following exceptions to this requirement (City Code 515.52 Subd. 3 (a)) seem to apply to the property: ❑ "unusual physical features of the property itself or of the surrounding neighborhood such that development as a PUD will conserve a physical or topographic feature of importance to the neighborhood or community" A portion of the property is located in Flood Zone A, and it abuts the City -owned Memory Lane Pond property on two sides. ❑ "the property is located in a transitional area between different land uses or on an intermediate or principal arterial as defined in the Comprehensive Plan" We no longer use the term "intermediate" for arterial roads; today they are classified as either Minor or Principal. Minor arterials are typically county roads, while REZONING, PRELIMINARY PLAT, & SITE PLAN REVIEW - 6900 42ND AVENUE NORTH 2 principal arterials are typically state trunk highways. 42"d Avenue is classified as a minor arterial in our current Comprehensive Plan. The proposal complies with the hard surface coverage percentage and floor area ratio requirements of 50% and 0.5 respectively (City Code 515.52, Subd. 3 (e)). The setback of the most southerly unit (building 1, unit 2) is 30.9 feet, which exceeds the 30 feet minimum (City Code 515.52, Subd. 3 (e)). City Code states that "parking lots and driving lanes must be set back at least 20 feet form all exterior lot lines" (515.52, Subd. 3 (e)). The common driveway is approximately 10 feet from the west lot line. The City can reduce the setback requirement if it "is not required to meet the intent of this subsection or to protect the health, safety or welfare of the residents, the surrounding area or the City as a whole" (City Code 515.52, Subd. 3 (m)). The development is relatively small scale and will have low traffic volume. The abutting residences to the west all have garages along the lot line, and the proposed 10 -foot set back will be landscaped with trees and shrubs. Furthermore, if the setback of the driveway were greater than 10 feet, the driveway would be shifted closer to the existing oak grove thereby threatening many of the site's significant trees. Because of these facts, staff feels it is appropriate to reduce the setback requirement to 10 feet. City Code requires a minimum of 10 percent of the gross project area be provided for private recreational uses (5,15.52, Subd. 3 (i)). The preserved oak stand and other open spaces well exceed the 7,400 sq. ft. minimum. The lot will be replatted into nine parcels. Eight parcels will be privately held and the ninth will be held in common. The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The development will not negatively impact the adjacent neighborhood, and it would provide housing options to people interested in one -level living. The preserved oak stand and the considerable open space result in a development that is sensitive to the Qxisting environment. Because the proposal meets the PUD District purpose, use, and 1 development standards as set out in City Code 515.52 Subds. 1, 2, and 3, staff recommends approval of rezoning to PUD District. 2. Preliminary Plat The proposed plat would use the lot at 6900 42"d Ave. North, P.I.D. 17-118-21-12- 0006; legally described as the west 185 feet of the south 400 feet of Lot 43, Auditor's Subdivision No. 324. The plat would be named Memory Lane Estates and would create the following new parcels: ❑ Lot 1, Block 1: 0.0541 acres (2,356 sq. ft.) to be used as a site for a single- family attached dwelling (townhouse); REZONING, PRELIMINARY PLAT,, & SITE PLAN REVIEW — 6900 42ND AVENUE NORTH 3 ❑ Lot 2, Block 1: 0.0541 acres (2,356 sq. ft.) to be used as a site for a single- family attached dwelling (townhouse); ❑ Lot 1, Block 2: 0.0541 acres (2,356 sq. ft.) to be used as a site for a single- family attached dwelling (townhouse); ❑ Lot 2, Block 2: 0.0541 acres (2,356 sq. ft.) to be used as a site for a single- family attached dwelling (townhouse); ❑ Lot 1, Block 3: 0.0541 acres (2,356 sq. ft.) to be used as a site for a single- family attached dwelling (townhouse); ❑ Lot 2, Block 3: 0.0541 acres (2,356 sq. -ft.) to be used as a site for a single- family attached dwelling (townhouse); ❑ Lot 1, Block 4: 0.0541 acres (2,356 sq. ft.) to be used as a site for a single- family attached dwelling (townhouse); ❑ Lot 2, Block 4: 0.0541 acres (2,356 sq. ft.) to be used as a site for a single- family attached dwelling (townhouse); ❑ Outlot A: 1.266 acres (55,152 sq. ft.) to be held in common for use as common driveway and open space. Because the property is served by existing infrastructure, no public improvements will be required as a condition of plat approval. A park dedication fee of $4,000 ($500 per unit) will be required upon final plat approval. The proposal complies with the requirements for preliminary plats in Crystal City Code. On the final plat, a 10' drainage and utility easement will be required along the west side of the property. A drainage and utility easement will also be required 5' either side of the storm sewer that runs from west to east (the easement shall be extended to the east property line even though the storm sewer stops short of that line). 3. Site Plan Review a. Property. The subject property is located at 6900 42nd Avenue North (P.I.D. 17- 118-21-12-0006; the west 185 feet of the south 400 feet of Lot 43, Auditor's Subdivision No. 324). The lot_is 185' wide and 400' deep, with an area of approximately 74,000 sq. ft. (1.7 acres). Part of the property is in a flood zone defined as the area at or below the 884' contour. The southwest quadrant of the REZONING, PRELIMINARY PLAT, & SITE PLAN REVIEW — 6900 42ND AVENUE NORTH 4 property contains a large stand of old oak trees. A mixture of oak, elm, cottonwood, ash, and box elder exists primarily along the east lot line. The site is abutted by the City's Memory Lane Pond property on the east and north, 42" Avenue on the south, and six single family houses on the west. The property is currently used as a very large single-family house lot, the house being an older farmhouse -style building built in 1900. b. Lot Area. The land area is approximately 74,000 sq. ft. (1.7 acres). This is less than the required 2 acres for a PUD district; however, as discussed above, two exceptions related to physical features of the land and the fact that it is located on a minor arterial apply to the project (City Code 515.52 Subd. 3 (a)). The resulting density would be 4.7 units per gross acre. The required lot area per unit of 5,000 sq. ft. (total of 40,000 sq. ft.) is satisfied. c. Proposed Development. The proposed development consists of eight new townhouse -style single family attached residences (four pairs). The proposed units are rambler style and would have 908 sq. ft. of living space on the main and lower levels for a total of 1,816 sq. ft. The proposal satisfies the minimum first floor area requirement of 900 sq. ft. Each unit would have a two -car garage of approximately 500 sq. ft. The floor plan for the main level includes a foyer, kitchen, living room and open dining room, deck, master bedroom, and bath. There are two options for the lower level floor plan. One has two bedrooms and a small family room. The other has one bedroom, a large family room, and a storage room. Both plans include a full basement and a mechanical room. The lower levels have lookout windows and are not walkouts. The type of housing is consistent with the needs identified in the Comprehensive Plan for more units, especially units appealing to empty nesters and others wanting low maintenance one -level living. However, staff has concerns about the long-term ability of this type of housing to hold its value and be adaptable to changing lifestyles and homeowner needs. For this reason, staff recommends that the basement plan should be set up in such a way that the basement could be finished with two bedrooms and a small family room if that were desired by the homeowner. This will increase the units' flexibility which we believe will help the units hold their value over time. d. Building Setbacks. The setback requirement in PUD Districts is 30 feet from abutting local streets. In addition, no building may be nearer than its height to any property line when the abutting property is in an R-1 or R-2 Residential Use District (City Code 515.52, Subd. 3 (f)). The most southerly unit (building 1, unit 2) is set back 30.9 feet from 42nd Avenue North The setback from the west lot line ranges from approximately 52 feet to 84 feet. These setbacks exceed the approximate building height of 23 feet. Setbacks from the east lot line range from 25.6 feet to 59.2 feet, and the setback from the north lot line is 34.1 feet. REZONING, PRELIMINARY PLAT, & SITE PLAN REVIEW - 6900 4ZN0 AVENUE NORTH 5 All of the units must be built above the 884' flood zone contour, and the plans need to be modified to show that the buildings do not abut the 884' contour. Staff has determined that decks off the back of the townhouses may extend into the flood zone. Staff has recommended to the developer that the decks be free- standing structures and that he secure a Letter of Map Revision from FEMA regarding the fact that the units are not in the flood zone (Zone "A"). e. Drainage. The development will drain to Memory Lane Pond. The western side of the project will make use of three catch basins and a storm sewer. The common driveway will have a crown and water will be channeled to two curb openings that will then drain through catch basins. (The developer's plans need to be updated to reflect the addition of a catch basin on the east side of the driveway.) The proposed drainage improvements will help reduce the ponding of water that currently occurs along the west line of the property. f. Exterior Materials, Walls and Rooflines. At the time of this report, the developer had only submitted building elevations for the front side. Elevations of all four sides will be made available to the Planning Commission prior to the April 10th meeting. The front elevation shows the exterior of the building covered with horizontal vinyl siding with some brick accents by the garages. In each townhouse pair, the garage of one unit is set 2 feet forward of the other and has a separate overhang which helps to break up the horizontal mass of the garages. Nevertheless, the garage is the prominent visual feature of the townhouse. (Despite the large volume of the garages, the plan does not incorporate storage space in the loft areas of the garages.) g. Utilities. All utilities on the site would be underground. Existing public water and sanitary sewer lines would serve the facility. A lift system will be required for the sanitary sewer service lines on the property. Each unit could have its own ejection pump or a shared lift pump could be used for all of the units; ,the developer needs to clarify his plans on this issue. Placement of the sanitary sewer, water line, and shared lift pump (if used) needs to be adjusted to minimize the potential for harm to the oak trees on the site. - h. Grading and Landscaping The developer proposes to do some filling of the flood plain at Lot 3 and some cutting at Lots 1 and 2. The developer must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City Engineer that the flood plain volume displaced by the filling is less than or equal to the increased flood plain volume resulting from the cutting. The project has been modified from the concept plan in order to preserve as many of the existing trees as'possible. In addition to the preserved trees, the landscaping plan calls for 46 additional trees and shrubs. These new trees and shrubs will be planted along the west lot line as a screen between the driveway REZONING, PRELIMINARY PLAT, & SITE PLAN REVIEW - 6900 42ND AVENUE NORTH 6 and the abutting single family houses, along 42nd Avenue North, and between the units. The stand of old oak trees is a unique feature of the property and is of value to the entire community. Because of the oaks' value to the community and the fact —� that they are an integral part of the landscaping plan, care must be used during grading and construction to ensure the long-term health of the trees. Staff believes that tree protection fencing needs to be installed prior to grading so as to minimize the potential for long-term loss of significant trees. In addition, staff recommends that the developer be required to have a professional provide guidance on how to complete the project while best preserving the existing oaks. i. Signage, Mailboxes, and Addressing Plan. At this time, the proposal does not include any signage, mailboxes or addressing plan. These items will be made available to the Planning Commission prior to the April 10`h meeting. j. Parking and Access. The Zoning Ordinance requires 16 stalls on the site (two stalls per townhouse unit); the site plan shows 39 stalls. Each unit has a two - car garage plus space in the unit's driveway for two cars (for a total of four stalls per unit). In addition, the plan provides for three accessory parking spaces along the west side of the shared drive, two accessory spaces in the stub between buildings 3 and 4, and two accessory spaces in the stub by building 4. The driveway stub in front of unit 1 in building 4 should be modified to facilitate backing movements from that unit. "No Parking" signs will need to be installed along the common driveway wherever there is insufficient width for one parking lane plus the 20' minimum fire lane. No lighting will be installed along the common drive. Access to the development will be on 42nd Avenue North k. Covenants and Association Documents. Homeowners of the development will be members of an association. Copies of the proposed covenants and association documents will be made available to the City for review prior to the second reading of the PUD ordinance. Staff recommends that the association' documents state that long-term preservation of the stand of oak trees is desired. Association documents should include a notice to owners of possible future park and trail improvements along Memory Lane Pond. Staff also recommends that the association be structured to ensure that a fund is established to address on- going maintenance and future capital improvement projects including but not limited to driveway repaving and tree care. 1. Potential Environmental Issues. Earlier this year, a search warrant was executed for the property based on the suspected presence of chemicals used for the manufacture of methamphetamine. Many of these chemicals pose a threat to groundwater. The MPCA conducted a preliminary assessment of the site on March 31, 2000 for the presence of chemicals related to drug -making operations (see attached memorandum). No evidence of such activities was found; however, the MPCA noted various hazardous household materials in and REZONING, PRELIMINARY PLAT, & SITE PLAN REVIEW - 6900 42ND AVENUE NORTH 7 C. W around the garage area. In addition, there is an underground fuel oil tank on the site, which is a potential threat to groundwater. The site is proximate to surface water, and these potential contaminants are a threat to it as well. Because of the suspected past presence of drug -making chemicals, the MPCA's findings of hazardous household materials, the underground fuel oil tank, and the proximity to surface water, staff recommends that the developer complete a Phase I environmental review of the property. SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Rezoning The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The development will not negatively impact the adjacent neighborhood and provides housing options to neighbors interested in one -level living. The possible preservation of the oak stand and other trees and the considerable open space result in a development that is sensitive to the existing environment. The proposal meets the PUD District purpose, use, and development standards as set out in City Code 515.52 Subds. 1, 2, and 3. It will also provide an opportunity for construction of new housing of a type which is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment goals. 2. Preliminary Plat The proposed plat is consistent with the requirements of Crystal City Code. 3. Site Plan Review The proposed development is consistent with the requirements of Crystal City Code.

Evaluation of the 1.8 acre area consisted of visual observations for the presence of staining (indicating dumping); odor; and in select areas (the burn pit and garbage dump area) the removal of topsoil and measurement by field instruments. No evidence of such activities was found. However, it should be noted that several pressure cylinders (nitrogen, propane); paint cans; waste oil and other household hazardous materials were found in and around the garage area. Given the circumstances with this situation, care should be taken during the demolition and redevelopment of the property_ It is possible that buried containers and waste may exist. If evidence of contamination is discovered, notification is to be made to the Minnesota State Duty Officer immediately at 651/649-5451. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

MOM M E M O R A N D U M DATE: April 7, 2000 TO: Planning Commission (April 10" meeting — Item # 3) FROM: John Sutter, Planner 01 --- SUBJECT: Supplemental information regarding Application 2000-5.1,3,$ for an eight - unit townhouse development at 6900 42nd Avenue North Today we received the following additional information from Prime Builders, in response to various concerns outlined by staff: ❑ Project narrative describing the proposed development; ❑ letter from developer's attorney describing the proposed association documents; ❑ letter from Hennepin County regarding CSAH 9 access and easement issues; ❑ Revised proposed plat, grading plan, utility plan, and site & landscaping plan. Enclosed are copies of these items for your review and consideration at the April 10t" meeting. The following is a summary of the comments from staff dated March 28, 2000 followed by an explanation (underlined, in italics) of how the developer has addressed each item of concern: "No Parking" signs be installed along the driveway wherever there is insufficient width for one parking lane plus the 20' minimum fire lane. Included in revised plans submitted by the developer. 2. The driveway near Unit #1 of Building #4 should be modified to facilitate backing movements from that unit. Included in revised plans submitted by the developer. 3. The drainage swale crossing the main driveway between buildings 2 and 3 needs to be modified to prevent water from crossing the pavement. We suggest that the driveway's crown be maintained (thereby eliminating the swale), and instead of a curb opening on the east side, a catch basin should be installed with a storm line running under the driveway to the catch basin. (The curb opening on the west side of the roadway is okay, since with the road's crown maintained the water will run down the gutter until it reaches the curb opening.) The detail inset for the driveway curb openings shows a roadway crown as requested by staff instead of the swale originally proposed. Instead of draining the area east of the driveway back -toward the catch basin on the west, the developer is proposing Ito- drain odrain it through a separate 4" pipe directly to the pond. The City Engineer will be asked to evaluate this, and staff will present his thoughts at the meeting on April 10`h 4. The plan shows the elevation of the "top of block" to be 889.5', leading us to assume that the basement floor elevation will be approximately 880'. Because the invert elevation of the manhole on the property will be 882.8', some sort of lift system will be required. Instead of a separate injection pump in each unit, we recommend a single unit to be located near the south side of the property just before the sanitary line enters the public right-of-way and ties into the public main along 42"d Avenue. Included in revised plans submitted by the developer. 5. The utility plan shows the sanitary sewer running through the oaks which we are trying to preserve. For this reason, we suggest that the sanitary sewer line be shifted east to roughly where the water line is shown, and move the water line over to the west side of the oaks (roughly where the driveway will be). The revised plans submitted by the developer show both the water and sewer lines being shifted eastward to reduce their impact on the existing oak trees. 6. Decks and egress wells cannot touch or extend into the flood zone, which at this site is defined as the area at or below the 884' contour. This means that all four buildings will need to be shifted away from the pond an approximate distance of 7' to 10' depending on the unit. If this is done, it may crowd the sanitary sewer along the west side of the buildings; this could be addressed by installing the sanitary sewer along the pond side of the buildings. Also, we have noted that you are planning to do some filling of the flood plain at Building #3 and some cutting at Buildings #1 and #2. The City Engineer has determined that this change can be approved at the administrative level if you provide the calculations showing that the volume displaced by the filling is less than or equal to the increased volume resulting from the cutting. The buildings have been shifted slightly so that they do not touch the 884' contour (the 100 year flood elevation). Other issues that have been addressed: a. Decks. Staff has determined that the decks' suaaortina costs may extend into the flood zone as long as the deck itself is above 884'. To reduce potential future confusion among lenders, insurers, etc., staff recommends (1) that the decks be self-supporting so that they are not attached to the dwellings, and (2) that the developer secure a Letter of Map Revision from FEMA confirming that the dwellings are not located within Zone A. b. Egress wells. Because the basement windows will be "daylight" or "lookout" windows, no egress wells will be necessary. C. Filling and Cutting. The developer's engineer has indicated on the plans that they will be filling 771 sq. ft. below 884' but cutting 1,033 sq. ft. above 884, for a net gain in flood plain area of 262 sq. ft. The City Engineer will need to evaluate the filling and cutting to determine if this is acceptable. 'SUPPLEMENTAL' - REZONING, PRELIMINARY PLAT, & SITE PLAN REVIEW — 6900 42JD AVE N 2 7. We would like to see the proposed contours shown on the landscaping plan. Also, we recommend that you hire an arborist with experience in tree preservation work to oversee the grading and construction crews. We also believe that tree protection fencing needs to be installed prior to grading. The purpose of this would be to minimize the potential for long-term loss of significant trees, which could result from project - related disturbance of the site and which may not become noticeable until after the units have been sold and the developer no longer has an interest in the project. The revised plan includes the contours as requested The developer has stated that he intends to hire an arborist, and the use of tree protection fencing during construction is one of the conditions being recommended by staff 8. The planting diagram needs to be corrected to show a shelf for the placement of the root ball. Included in revised plans submitted by the developer The developer has indicated that he will provide color elevations of all sides of the proposed units at the April 10" Planning Commission meeting. Also, please note that although tcday we did receive the proposed association documents, in an effort to reduce paper use we have not included copies for Planning Commission review. Staff will be reviewing the association documents between now and the second reading of the P.U.D. ordinance. If you want to visit two other projects constructed by this developer, please visit the following locations: ❑ Cavell Court, located on the north side of Boone Avenue North immediately west of 63d Avenue North in Brooklyn Park; ❑ River Village Estates located on the east side of East River Road off of 86th Avenue Northwest in Coon Rapids. If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 531-1142. Thank you. 'SUPPLEMENTAL' - REZONING, PRELIMINARY PLAT, & SITE PLAN REVIEW - 6900 4210 AVE N 3 __A210hL_ PRIME BUILDERS I N C O R P O R A T E D April 6, 2000 Dear Council members: We are hoping to develop and build 8 townhomes on the 1.7 acres located at 6900 -42nd Avenue North. These townhomes would be served by a private drive and private utilities that would be maintained, along with the common area, by a Homeowners Association. We hope to begin grading and utilities in May or early June. The construction of the homes will begin in mid-June or early July with the completion of the project by June 1, 2001. We feel this will be a wonderful neighborhood that meets the criteria of the city's Comprehensive Land Use Plan. We have worked diligently with staff and the neighborhood to preserve as many of the large oaks on the property as possible. We have relocated building pads, utilities, and driveways to this end. We further intend to consult with an arborist before installing protective fencing around the trees we shall be trying to save. We would welcome inspections by your city forester confirming these safeguards remain in place throughout construction. Sincerely, .J r '+ John and Joel DeVries Prime Builder, Inc.

This Association is intended as the fee owner of the "Outlot A" Common Elements contemplated to be created with the final platting of Memory Lane Estates, and will also be responsible for townhome maintenance and architectural controls. A copy of my lengthy Declaration for Memory Lane Estates, in its current draft, is enclosed for your municipal review. On April 5 John DeVries forwarded to me a portion of the staff comments related to the proposed Memory Lane Estates plat, specifically Item 12 which expressed your concerns regarding Association documents. Please note that I have specifically included in ¶7.13 of the enclosed Declaration text intended to address your concerns about preservation of trees. Please note that at ¶17.7 I have included text intended to address your concern about disclosure of potential park and trail improvements. Your concerns regarding the adequate funding for maintenance will be independently addressed by Prime Builders; I have the understanding that the Company is required to demonstrate to federal regulators (as this is intended to be an FHA approved project) that the monthly assessments have been appropriately established to create replacement reserves. Frankly, the largest item this Association will need to reserve funds for, I assume, will be for exterior maintenance, although I am confident that future driveway repair and ongoing tree, shrub and lawn maintenance will be adequately addressed in the Association's budget.

Crystal, N/ 5422 Re: Proposed Plat — Memory Lane Estates CSAH 9 Section 7, Townshl 118, Range 21 Hennepin County Plat No. 2515 Review and Recommendations Dear Mr, Sutter: Minnesota Statutes 505,02 and 505.03, Plats and Surveys, require 30 days for county review of proposed plats abutting county roads. We reviewed the above plat and make the following comments: • The developer should dedicate an additional 12 feet of right of way or easement for a total of 45 feet from the centerline of CSAH 9 to accommodate a future on road path per the attached typical section. However, given the inherent site constraints a 7 foot easement is acceptable. • The access is acceptable but the approach radii must be 20 feet minimum, 25 feet preferable to accommodate larger vehicles, i.e., delivery vans, refuse haulers, etc. • All proposed construction within county right of way requires an approved Hennepin County- permit prior to beginning construction. This includes, but is not limited to access, drainage and utility construction, trail development, and landscaping. Contact our Permits Section at 745-7601 for the appropriate permit forms. The developer must restore all areas, within the county right of way, disturbed during construction. Please direct any response to Dave Zetterstrom at 745-7643. As a matter of procedure: we request that the City Clerk inform us of the City Council's action on the right of way and access provisions.
