RE: Oak Park Heights-Menards-Design Guidelines/Site Plan Review—5800
Krueger Lane North
FILE NO: 236.02—19.02
Dear Mr.Edwards:
The City is in receipt of your application materials submitted on March 1, 2019 for the
lane addition to the yard entrance for the Menards in Oak Park Heights. The application
consists of a request for Design Guidelines/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 March 20,2019:
1. Please provide mailing labels for properties within 500 feet of the exterior
boundaries of the property.
2. Clarify the fencing plans for replacement south of the yard. Will the fence be
replaced as it currently exists? Pictures to indicate the existing situation and
plans for the new fence should be included.
3. Indicate what landscaping is to be removed and replaced to accommodate the
lane and canopy addition as well as moving the fence. The plan from Menards
and the plans from Loucks do not agree and should be clarified.
4. All lighted signs will be required to comply with current standards. The sign
lighting should be designed such that only the text and logo portions of the signs
are to be lit at night. The sign background will need to be dark.
5. Please contact the Brown's Creek Watershed District to determine if they will
need to review the plans.
We would invite you and your representatives to a staff meeting on March 20, 2019 at
10:30 AM at City Hall to discuss these issues and address any questions you may have.
