RE: Oak Park Heights — WINNPARK Business Center — Planned Unit
Development Amendment Review— (Lot 4) 5650 Memorial Avenue North
FILE NO: 236.02 — 21.05
Dear Mr. Zintl:
The City of Oak Park Heights is in receipt of your application materials submitted on June
8, 2021, for an addition to the existing building at 5650 Memorial Avenue North. The
application consists of a request for an Amended Planned Unit Development and 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 June
23, 2021:
1. The building height would be 38 feet at the west elevation. The definition of
building height indicates that the mean ground level of the building would be the
starting point for measurement of height. Please verify the height based on the
mean ground level. The building height limit for a Planned Unit Development is
35 feet.
2. Section 401.06.6.15 indicates that no building in a Planned Unit Development shall
be nearer to another building than one half the sum of the building heights of the
two buildings. Please verify the setbacks based upon the buildings to the north
and south of the subject site.
3. The B-3 District limits the overall WINNPARK site at 80 percent impervious surface
coverage. In 2000, the site was 79 percent impervious. With the increase in
hardcover, please provide the calculations of hardcover with the building
expansion.
4. Indicate where trash/recycling will be stored for the building. Please identify any
wall signage planned for the building.
We would invite you and your representatives to a Zoom staff meeting on June 23, 2021
at 10:30 AM at City Hall to discuss these issues and address any questions you may
have. Julie Hultman will in contact with you about the meeting invite.

If all of the application materials are submitted as requested, the Planning Commission
would consider the application at a meeting scheduled at 6:00 PM at the Oak Park Heights
City Hall on July 14, 2021.
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 at scott@planningco.com or 952.221.0547 with any questions you
may have.
Sincerely,
