FILE NO: 236.02—18.03
Dear Mr. Mayberry:
The City is in receipt of your application materials submitted on May 15, 2018 for a
proposed retail and restaurant development at 13523 60th Street North, which was the
former Eagles site. The construction of the development will require Planned Unit
Development, Concept and General Plan; Conditional Use Permit for drive thru;
Preliminary and Final Plat; Design Standards and Site Plan 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 May 30,2018:
1. Provide a revised site plan that indicates the proposed layout for the frontage
road. Also indicate on the preliminary plat the potential right of way required for
the proposed frontage road.
2. Indicate if the application includes the request for final design of the retail building
or if that is to be included as part of a second phase.
3. Provide drainage calculations for the site.
4. Provide the square footage of each of the proposed signs.
5. Provide plans for mechanical screening for roof top units.
6. Provide plans for the order board for the drive thru.
7. Label the landscape plan with the corresponding materials indicated in the plant
schedule.
8. Provide a calculation of the glass percentage for each facade of the building.
9. Provide specification sheets for each of the proposed light fixtures.
10.Provide building material samples for the Planning Commission meeting.
We would invite you and your representatives to a staff meeting on May 30, 2018 at
10:30 AM at City Hall to discuss these issues and address any questions you may have.
One issue that was raised by staff is the design of the building elevations and how the
rear of the Panera Bread building will face the Highway 36 right of way. In order for the
building to be compliant with the Design Standards, the north and east elevations will
need to include additional brick, architectural details and window area.
If all of the application materials are submitted as requested, the Planning Commission
would consider the application at a meeting scheduled for June 14, 2018 at 6:00 PM in
the City Hall Council chambers.
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 15.99, Sub. 3(f), the City of Oak Park Heights is
herewith extending the period of time for agency/city review of the application for an
additional 60-day period (for a total of 120 days from the date of a complete application)
inasmuch as the City has determined that additional research and study by the City staff
relative to the complexity of the project as proposed will be required.
Please contact me with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Scott D. Richards, City Planning Consultant to the City of Oak Park Heights
