RE: Oak Park Heights — Xcel Energy Substation - Conditional Use to Allow
Security/Screening Fencing — 5789 Stage Coach Trail North
FILE NO: 236.02 — 23.05
Dear Mr. Sullivan:
The City is in receipt of your application materials submitted on October 10, 2023, for a
Conditional Use Permit to allow construction of a 10 foot security and screening fence at
the Xcel Energy Substation, 5789 Stage Coach Trail North. The City will deem it
complete with receipt of the following items by October 18, 2023:
1. Please provide mailing labels from Washington County for properties within 500
feet of the exterior boundaries of the property.
2. The first page of the application must be initialed. Please coordinate that with
Julie Hultman at City Hall.
3. The site plan does not address screening of the transformer storage yard. The
plan shall be updated to include at least an 8 foot fence surrounding that yard.
If all of the application materials are submitted as requested, the Planning Commission
would consider the application at a meeting scheduled for November 9, 2023, at 6:00
P.M. in the City Hall Council chambers. If recommended by the Planning Commission
that evening, the City Council will review the application at their meeting scheduled for
November 28, 2023.
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.
