FROM: John Sutter, Community Development Director
TO: Anne Norris, City Manager (for September 21 City Council meeting)
DATE: September 16, 2021
SUBJECT: Approval of the execution of a Joint Powers Agreement with Hennepin
County related to access to the library and police project.
___________________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
In 2019, the city and county entered into an Easement Agreement related to shared accesses
for the City Hall campus and Rockford Road Library. The agreement modified and formalized
the existing arrangements for vehicles to pass through one site to access the other, including
the addition of a right turn bay for the library access to 42nd Avenue and relocation of the
driveway between the two properties to approximately 100 feet north of its current location.
In 2020, the city incorporated these changes into its design for the site improvements related
to the new Police Department building. City and county staff worked together on this design
with the understanding that the costs would be apportioned between the two agencies for the
city-initiated site work, and also that the county would have the option to expand the work to
include additional work on the library site at county expense.
In 2021, the city awarded construction contracts for the police building project which included
the city-initiated site work. Subsequently, the county requested that the work be expanded to
include replacement of the rest of the library parking lot in addition to the city-initiated work.
To implement this cooperative construction project, a Joint Powers Agreement is required
between the two entities.
JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
The attached Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) is based on similar agreements the city has used
in the past, for example when a street reconstruction project initiated by the City of Crystal
includes elements located in an adjacent city. It implements construction of improvements
consistent with the 2019 Easement Agreement and apportions costs consistent with the 2020
design. The JPA has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney and County Attorney.

DATE: September 16, 2021
RE: Consider approval of a site plan review request from Gernco Construction
for a new four-unit residential building at 4741 Welcome Avenue North
A.BACKGROUND
Gernco Construction is proposing to purchase the vacant property at 4741 Welcome
Ave North from the City’s Economic Development Authority (EDA) in order to construct
a four-unit residential building on the property. The EDA held a public hearing on June
15, 2021 and approved the lot sale contingent upon approval of a site pl an application
for the new building.
The property is zoned Medium Density Residential (R-2) and the proposed building is a
permitted use within that zoning district. The city’s unified development code (UDC)
requires site plan review and approval for the new building and site improvements.
Notice of the September 13 public hearing was published in the Sun Post on
September 2, mailed to owners and renters within 500 feet (see attachment A), and
posted to the Welcome Park and Cavanagh Oaks neighborhoods on Nextdoor. A sign
was also posted on the property.
At the September 13 Planning Commission public hearing, the Commission unanimously
recommended approval of the site plan application. One person from the public spoke on
the proposal, indicating that she was not opposed to the application but had a few
questions about such items as refuse collection and lawn maintenance .

4741 WELCOME AVENUE NORTH – SITE PLAN APPLICATION
PAGE 2 OF 4
B. SITE PLAN REVIEW
Existing use
The 14,119 sq. ft. (0.32 acre) property is currently vacant. Previously there was a 4-plex
on the property that was built in 1960 and demolished in 2010.
Adjacent uses
The following are the existing land uses and zoning districts surrounding this property:
• North – Single-family home zoned R-2
• East – Office, zoned Industrial
• West – Across alley, single-family homes zoned R-1
• South – 4-plex, zoned R-2
Proposed use
The applicant is proposing to construct a new two-story four-unit residential building. The
following are the notable site plan elements for this building:
• Building setbacks. The proposed 25’ tall townhome-style building meets setback
and height requirements in the R-2 district. The size of each of the four units are
found in the table below.
Unit Number First Floor Second Floor Total Living
Space
Garage
A 623 SF 1,063 SF 1,686 SF 419 SF
B 730 SF 1,314 SF 2,044 SF 419 SF
C 730 SF 1,063 SF 1,686 SF 419 SF
D 623 SF 1,314 SF 2,044 SF 419 SF
• Parking. Each unit will have a garage for two vehicles with additional parking
spaces in the driveways for each unit. This parking meets UDC requirements.
• Stormwater management and erosion control measures. The city engineer has
reviewed the stormwater management plan submitted by the applicant and
determined that it meets the city’s requirements in city code section 520.17. The
plan proposes to install two french drains in the front yards facing Welcome
Avenue. French drains have an underground pipe that funnels stormwater into the
city’s stormwater infrastructure, similar to a raingarden.
The proposed percentage of impervious surface for the vacant property is 60.9%
(the maximum coverage is 75% for the R-2 zoning district). During building
construction the city will require erosion control techniques to be used on -site
including silt fences, rock construction entrances, and inlet protection.
• Utilities. The proposed building’s service connections will be to existing water and
sewer mains in Welcome Avenue. The only overhead utility lines are existing poles
located along the alley.
5.2
4741 WELCOME AVENUE NORTH – SITE PLAN APPLICATION
PAGE 3 OF 4
• Access and circulation. The site plan proposes driveway access for two units from
Welcome Avenue and from the rear alley for the other two units. The city’s Public
Works Director and the West Metro Fire Rescue District staff have reviewed the
traffic circulation plan and found it adequate to meet vehicle movement into and
within the site. There are no existing public sidewalks on the property and none
planned. However there are proposed private sidewalks from the unit entrances to
Welcome Avenue.
• Building elevations. The proposed major exterior building material is vinyl lap siding
with brick and stone veneer as accent materials. These materials meet the city’s
requirements. Each unit will have a deck on the side of the building. Elevation
drawings of the proposed building is attachment D.
• Landscaping. The landscape plan calls for the removal of two large arbovitaes
facing Welcome Avenue and volunteer trees along the alley. The applicant
proposes to plant three new species of trees: American linden, Kentucky coffee
trees, and Japanese tree lilacs. Two varieties of shrubs will also be planted.
• Screening. Ground mechanical equipment is proposed to be scre ened by shrubs.
• Exterior Lighting. The building will have wall-mounted exterior lighting similar to
what is found on a typical single-family home. This lighting meets the city’s
requirements.
C. Site plan review criteria
The following are the relevant criteria for approval of site plans in city code section
510.17.
1. The site plan fully complies with all applicable requirements of the UDC.
Findings: As outlined in section B, above, the proposed site plan
meets UDC requirements.
2. The site plan is consistent with the use and character of surrounding
properties.
Findings: The property was formerly used for a 4-plex and with the
approval of this site plan that use will continue in a modern updated
form. The immediate area has a mix of low and medium density
residential properties and commercial buildings. The proposed four-
unit building is consistent with this character.
3. The site plan provides safe conditions for pedestrians or motorists and
prevents the dangerous arrangement of pedestrian and vehicular ways.
Findings: The city’s Public Works Director and staff from the West
Metro Fire Rescue District have reviewed the site’s traffic circulation
plan and found it adequate to meet vehicle movement into and within
5.2
4741 WELCOME AVENUE NORTH – SITE PLAN APPLICATION
PAGE 4 OF 4
the site. There is no public sidewalk directly accessing the property
and none planned, however the applicant is installing private
sidewalks to each unit’s front door.
D. REQUESTED ACTION
At the September 13, 2021 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission
recommended approval of the site plan review application by a vote of seven to zero
(two members were absent) with the following conditions:
1. The development shall be constructed according to the site plan in
attachment D.
2. The property owner shall install and maintain a n address directional sign
in the locations shown on the approved site plan (the exact language to
be reviewed and approved by city staff).
If the site plan is approved, the applicant anticipates starting construction of the building
this year.
City Council motion to approve the site plan review application is requested.

SITE PLAN PROJECT NARRATIVE
Subject Project: New Quadplex construction
4741 Welcome Avenue
Zoning District: The property is currently zoned R-2 Medium density Residential
Current Use of Property: The property is currently a vacant Lot.
Proposed Use: The property will be used to construct a new 4-unit townhome styled quadplex
Adverse Effect: The proposed use is in accordance with the existing use in the neighborhood. The
buildings in the neighborhood are mixed between multiunit residential and single-family homes. So, the
proposed use will complement the existing structures in the neighborhood.
Each unit in the new building will have a minimum of two car attached garage and their own separate
driveways. This will provide sufficient parking for the occupant and the visitors. So, there will be no
street parking and interferences with the public and motorists. Also since the building is only 4 units,
which is in accordance with the city redevelopment plan, the added density will not increase the traffic
in such a way that I can affect the neighborhood negatively.
Project Description: The project consists of multifamily (Quadplex) residential building. When
completed, the owner will occupy one of the units and rent out the rest of the units

JOINT AIRPORT ZONING BOARD
PAGE 1 OF 2
___________________________________________________________________________
FROM: Dan Olson, City Planner
TO: Anne Norris, City Manager (for September 21 Meeting)
DATE: September 16, 2021
RE: Consider adoption of a resolution selecting members and alternates for Joint
Airport Zoning Board (JAZB)
__________________________________________________________________________
A.BACKGROUND
The City Council is asked to adopt a resolution selecting members and alternates for a
temporary task force called the Joint Airport Zoning Board (JAZB). At the August 17,
2021 City Council work session, the Council directed that the membership of the JAZB
be as follows:
Members: Dan Olson, city planner and one Planning Commission member
Alternates: John Sutter, community development director and another Planning
Commission member
At the September 13, 2021 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission selected
Joseph Sears for JAZB membership, with Harley Heigel as an alternate.
Attachment:
A.Resolution
B.JOINT AIRPORT ZONING BOARD
Minnesota state law requires cities adjacent to airports to have an airport zoning
ordinance, which is based on state law and federal regulations. The ordinance primarily
focuses on land uses adjacent to the airport and struc ture height requirements adopted
by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Ordinance adoption, administration and
enforcement will be handled by each city.
The current Crystal airport zoning ordinance was adopted in 1983 and needs to be
updated. Other recently approved airport zoning ordinances were for the Lake Elmo
airport in 2021 and Flying Cloud airport in 2019.
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Joint Airport Zoning Board
5.3
JOINT AIRPORT ZONING BOARD
PAGE 2 OF 2
To prepare an updated ordinance the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) is
forming a Joint Airport Zoning Board (JAZB) per MN Stat ute 360. The JAZB is what we
would call a task force, because it will be disbanded after the updated ordinance is
prepared. Drafting the ordinance will be mostly a technical process with limited city
policy options.
JAZB meetings would start in late September or early October. The zoning ordinance
creation will likely be completed by late 2022.
C.REQUESTED ACTION
Council approval of the resolution in attachment A is requested.

Memorandum
DATE: September 21, 2021
TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Director of Public Works
Patrick Sele, Utilities Superintendent
SUBJECT: Replacement of control systems at the Maryland sanitary sewer lift station
Background
The 2021 CIP included $100,00 in the sanitary sewer utility fund and $100,00 in the information
technology fund for the installation of fiber optic network to lift stations in the City. This summer,
the fiber optic network has been connected to four sanitary sewer lift stations for a cost of
$137,476.42, leaving $62,523.58 available.
It is proposed that the remaining funding balance be used to cover the cost of the replacement of
the control system for the Maryland sanitary sewer lift station. Not only is this work needed for the
planned extension of the fiber optic network, but the control equipment is very antiquated and
requires staff to enter a confined space to hook up a portable generator in a power outage.
The proposed control system replacement will not only replace all of the control systems for the
sanitary sewer lift station, but also relocate the control cabinet, relocate the connection point for a
portable generator, and prepare the site for connection to the fiber optic network.
Cost
Only one quote was obtained for the proposed purchase and installation because this control
system must have the same control systems as other lift stations, interface with the City’s SCADA
system, and the same contractor has installed the systems at the other lift stations as well as
provides the back-end support for SCADA:
•Total Control $64,048
Funding
$200,000 was allocated in the project budget between two CIP projects. $137,476.42 has been
previously allocated for the fiber projects. The proposed project cost is $1,524.42 more than the
available project funds. This balance will be covered by sanitary sewer operating budgets.
Recommended Action
Motion to approve the resolution authorizing the replacement of control systems at the Maryland
sanitary sewer lift station

TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Director of Public Works
Patrick Sele, Utility Superintendent
SUBJECT: Fiber optic connection to Maryland sanitary sewer lift station
Over the last few years the City has been connecting the various sanitary sewer and storm water lift stations to the
fiber optic network provide for improved operational and security measures. In 2020 and 2021, the City connected
five of the seven sanitary sewer lift stations to the fiber optic network.
Project scope
The 2022 project is proposed to connect Maryland Ave lift station to the fiber optic network. This will be the sixth
of seven sanitary sewer lift stations connected to the fiber system. This will be the final sanitary sewer lift station to
be connected to the fiber network. The seventh lift station has very low wastewater flow and would be very
expensive to connect to the system due to its relatively remote location.
Project funding
The 2022 budget included $100,000 in the information technology fund for the extension of the fiber optic
network.
Project cost
Maryland sanitary sewer lift station $44,346.09
The balance remaining will be used to connect the Adair storm water lift station to the fiber network as part of the
Gaulke storm water pond project.
