Mr. Hedlund indicted that phase II is planned for Spring of 2023, once Park Dental
has moved into the new building and as of yet, the new use for phase II has not been
set, but that they are seeking complimentary tenant use such as dermatology or
pediatric use.
Mr. Hedlund and Mr. Ritter engaged in discussion with the Commission as to phase
II uses, where it was clarified that if the use falls within those permitted by the sites
zoning district, they would not be required to return to the Commission for review
approval with regard to the use and that this should be clarified in the recommended
approval conditions.
The existing building and the new building placement as shown in the plans was
noted and how the transition was to occur was discussed. Mr. Ritter noted that the
site will be very tight—he thought about a 6-foot transition— and that the layout for
the site with the new construction is something that they did walk through as part of
their planning process for the project.
Mr. Ritter shared a materials board with the Commission, showing samples of the
proposed materials for the new structure.

Commissioner Husby, moved to close the public hearing. Carried 4-0.
Discussion was had as to the requirement for multiple parcel combination being

platting and that the provision could be changed if the Commission desired to pursue
that.
Signage was discussed, wherein Mr. Hedlund did note that they would like to have
one and that this was being worked out as was the retaining wall and site infiltration
with the Middle St. Croix Watershed Management Organization.

Comprehensive Plan, generally relating to Transportation Elements and City
Annexations lying to the west of Memorial Ave. N.
City Planner Richards reviewed the October 6, 2021 Planning Memorandum as to
the request for amendment to clarify the language intent.
City Administrator Johnson discussed the language and annexation of property from
Stillwater Township to the City of Stillwater and how the language in the Oak Park
Heights Comprehensive Plan, transportation section, is being mis-interpreted by
outside parties and used by them to suggest that the City of Oak Park Heights
supports a particular roadway extension that the City does not in fact support. The
purpose of the amendment request is sought to clarify the intent of the existing
Comprehensive Plan.

Chair Freeman opened the public hearing t 6:43 p.m. and invited public comment.
Jim Kremer — 5475 Oakgreen Place N. — introduced himself and noted that he was
part of the Planning Commission when the current comprehensive plan was drafted
and that these issues were discussed. He stated that he did not feel that anything in
the position of the Planning Commission or the City Council had changed, since its
adoption, with regard to the roadways and that Washington County & developers
have been told no to the City building a roadway to accommodate expansion in land
annexed into the City of Stillwater.
Mr. Kremer expressed that the language clarification was an oversight, when the
plan was being reviewed and updated and that he felt the request was not a change
but more a matter of housekeeping to clarify the language intent and that he supports
the proposed amendment.
There being no other visitors to the public hearing, Commissioner White, seconded
by Commissioner VanDyke, moved to close the public hearing. Carried 4-0.
Commissioner White, seconded by Commissioner Husby, moved to recommend
City Council approval of the amendments as presented within the October 6, 2021

MEMORANDUM
TO: Eric Johnson
FROM: Scott Richards
DATE: November 10, 2021
RE: Oak Park Heights — Request for a Conditional Use Permit — Land
Reclamation and Grading Conditional Use Permit — 5675 Newell
Circle
TPC FILE: 236.06 — 21.10
BACKGROUND
Tim O'Connor (Applicant) representing LCI Landscapes has made an application for a
Conditional Use Permit to allow for land reclamation and grading of over 25 cubic yards
of material per acre as part of construction of a boulder retaining wall at 5675 Newell
Circle. The Applicant has requested the Conditional Use Permit to comply with the
provisions of Ordinance 308 in that soil to be added to the site will consist of
approximately 40 cubic yards of material.
The property is zoned R-1 Single Family Residential District.
EXHIBITS
The review is based upon the following submittals:
Exhibit 1: Aerial Photo of Site
Exhibit 2: Grading/Drainage Plan
Exhibit 3: Report of the City Engineer— November 9, 2021
Exhibit 4: Site Pictures
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Applicant has applied for the Conditional Use Permit to allow for the addition of fill
and construction of the boulder retaining wall at the rear property line. Work on the
project has begun, and the Applicant provided the application when it was determined
that the permit would be required. Approximately 40 cubic yards of soil will be brought
into the site to provide a more level area in the back yard. The boulder wall will be
placed in the drainage and utility area that extends the length of the rear property line.
Ordinance 308 of the City Code indicates the following as it relates to land reclamation
and grading:
308.08 Land Reclamation and Grading.
Within this Ordinance, land reclamation is the reclaiming of land by depositing or
moving materials so as to alter the grade. Land reclamation shall be permitted only by
Conditional Use Permit in all districts. Depositing a total of more than twenty-five (25)
cubic yards of material per acre, either by hauling in fill or re-grading the area, shall
constitute land reclamation. Land reclamation in all flood plains shall be in accordance
with the Flood Plain Ordinance. The permit shall include, as a condition thereof, a
finished grade plan which shall not adversely affect adjacent land, shall regulate the
type of material permitted, program for rodent control, plan for fire control, and general
maintenance of the site, controls for vehicular ingress and egress, drainage, and control
of materials disbursed from wind and/or hauling of material to and from the site.
The City Engineer has provided comments as found in Exhibit 3. He has indicated that
the wall and fill will not alter the overall existing drainage patterns. As proposed, the
wall will be two feet from the rear property line. He has recommended the wall be
placed no closer that three feet from the rear property line to keep the drainage path
clear and allow for easier maintenance between the wall and wood fence.
The boulder wall will be placed in the 10-foot drainage and utility easement. A condition
will be added to the permit related to damages, repairs, or additional improvements if
access is required by the City through the easement.
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan:
The property is designated as low density residential in the Comprehensive Land Use
Map. The request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policies related to low
density land use.
Zoning:
The property is zoned R-1 Single Family Residential District. There are no zoning
issues with this request, but Ordinance 308 of the City Code regulates water drainage
and land reclamation.
Conditional Use Permit Criteria:
The conditional use permit criteria, found in Section 401.03.A.7 of the Zoning
Ordinance, are found as follows:
1. Relationship to the specific policies and provisions of the municipal comprehensive plan.
2. The conformity with present and future land uses in the area.
3. The environmental issues and geographic area involved.
4. Whether the use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
5. The impact on character of the surrounding area.
6. The demonstrated need for such use.
7. Traffic generation by the use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the property.
2
8. The impact upon existing public services and facilities including parks, schools, streets,
and utilities, and the City's service capacity.
9. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained herein (i.e.,
parking, loading, noise, etc.).
Comment: The Planning Commission should comment if any of these criteria will be at
odds with the Conditional Use Permit proposed for the site. There will be no impact on
drainage with this proposal if the conditions of the City Engineer and Ordinance 308 are
are complied with. There should be no negative neighborhood issues with this request.
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION
Upon review of the request for the Conditional Use Permit to allow for land reclamation
and grading of over 25 cubic yards of material per acre as part of construction of a
boulder retaining wall at 5675 Newell Circle, Staff recommends the application with the
following conditions:
1. The Owner and Applicant shall comply with all provisions of Chapter 308 of the
City Code.
2. All conditions of the City Engineer's letter dated November 9, 2021, shall be
complied with, including placement of the boulder wall no closer than three feet
from the rear property line.
3. The Owner acknowledges that their project encroaches into existing public
drainage and utility easements and Owner is fully responsible for any damages,
repairs or encumbrances impacting such areas should these unreasonably
interfere with such easements. Further, the Owner acknowledges that the City is
not responsible for any damages or repairs to the Owner's improvements should
the City need to perform any maintenance or other actions deemed necessary for
public drainage or utility purposes in such areas.
4. The Owner and Applicant may not install underground stormwater piping
connecting eaves or roof downspouts to a point of discharge below the top grade
of the proposed rock wall. All stormwater structures and piping (including
downspouts) from such roof areas must be above grade, ensuring continued
overland drainage.
5. Any other conditions of the Planning Commission, City Council and City Staff.

Attention: Mr. Eric Johnson
City of Oak Park Heights
14168 Oak park Boulevard
Oak Park Heights, MN 55082
Reference: 5675 Newell Circle -Proposed Boulder Retaining Wall
Dear Eric:
I have reviewed the boulder retaining wall proposed for the property at 5675 Newell Circle. The plan
indicates 5875 as the address number.
The proposed wall will not alter the overall existing drainage patterns. The plan shows the wall being
placed two-feet from the rear property line. I would recommend that the wall be placed no closer than
three-feet from the property line, in particular in the area of the existing fence that is on the adjacent
property to the rear. This will more effectively keep the drainage path clear and allow for easier
maintenance between the wall and the fence.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Regards,
