RE: Outlot A, Brackey 3rd Addition, Washington County Property ID 05.029.20.22.0024
Dear Commissioners,
Menard, Inc. ("Menards") is in receipt of a public notice regarding the proposed residential,
development of the±7.3-acre parcel located next to our Oak Park Heights property.
Menards currently operates a retail store and lumberyard on the adjacent parcel. While Menards
shares in the desire for growth, prosperity, and continued development of the City of Oak Park
Heights, the operation of the Menards store, like that of similar large retail establishments, generates
certain levels of noise, traffic, and light. Menards requests that the proposal before the Commission
be considered with these pre-existing conditions in mind, and that that any approval be conditioned
on the acknowledgement by all parties of the foreseeable issues that may result by being in close
proximity to an existing retail store and lumberyard.
Please include this letter as part of the official public hearing transcripts of the upcoming City of
Oak Park Heights Planning Commission meeting. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
Menard, Inc.
