RE: Oak Park Heights — Holiday Inn Express — CUP and Design Standards
Review— Memorial Avenue North
FILE NO: 236.02 — 18.02
Dear Mr. Schultz:
The City is in receipt of your application materials submitted on March 12, 2018 for a
proposed Holiday Inn Express on Memorial Avenue North, north of 58th Street. The
construction of a Holiday Inn Express will require Conditional Use Permit and Design
Standards review. With this letter we are notifying you that the application is not
complete. The City will deem it complete with receipt of the following items by March
28, 2018:
1. Provide a calculation of the glass percentage of the first floor of the facade facing
Memorial Avenue North.
2. Provide a plan for the dumpster enclosure.
3. Show a potential location for a sidewalk from the south property line to at least
the front entrance to the hotel. The sidewalk would likely not be constructed until
the City reconstructs Memorial Avenue.
4. Provide specification sheets for each of the proposed light fixtures.
5. Provide drainage calculations for the site.
6. Provide additional design detail for the water and sewer lines that are to be
moved within the site.
We would invite you and your representatives to a staff meeting on March 28, 2018 at
10:30 AM at City Hall to discuss these issues and address any questions you may have.
