CITY OF OAK PARK HEIGHTS
Memo/TO: City Council Members FROM: Eric Johnson, City Administrator WEEKLY.NOTES – December 28, 2012
Zoning / Development Items
The Building Official has sent a Nuisance Ordinance notice to 14836 56th Street regarding and accumulation of boxes and debris.
The City has been approached by the Paws and Claws owner now located in the City of Stillwater to possibly locate in OPH in the small strip center where Subway is. Unfortunately, this
operation boards dogs for overnight stays and thus becomes defined as a KENNEL. If their operation only included dog day care and other services such as haircutting / grooming, the
B-2 Zoning district would be able to accommodate the activity. Staff will be meeting with these owners in the coming weeks to discuss options. It is possible the applicant may seek
a text amendment to the B-2 District to allow some form of overnight Kenneling.
St. Croix River Crossing:
As directed by the City Council, I have communicated with MNDOT – Dave Hall on the items related to deck colors and hand rails.

The City Hall HVAC issues has been addressed temporarily; it appears that there is some leaking piping associated with the installation of the new Copeland compressors, however the
compressors themselves appear to be operational. Jorgenson Construction has acknowledged that they have some responsibility in this repair and have been on site today. We will continue
to work through the issue, but it appears to not be too serious.
