RE: Oak Park Heights Auto Sales Lots, 14738 60 Street North
Amended Conditional Use Permit
FILE NO: 798.02 — 06.01
ENCLOSE 0 1i
Please find attached information regarding the clean up of the former Amoco site at
14738 60 Street North. The report from the environmental consultant indicates that a
clean up system will be installed on site and then operate for 12 to 18 months. The final
closure letter from the MPCA may take an additional 12 months.
Based upon this information, if a clean up system is installed by July 2006, the final
certification from MPCA could be completed by [December 31, 2008. This may be the
target date the City should use for the amended conditional use permit.
Staff suggests that the Planning Commission consider three options for the applicant, all
three to be tied to December 31, 2008:
1. Submit a development application to the City for new dealership building and site
improvements that includes the property at 14738 60 Street North.
2. Complete the conditions of the conditional use permit that was granted for the
property at 14738 60 Street North in December of 2003.
3. Remove all of the vehicles from the property at 14738 60 Street North and
cease all car dealership operations at that site.

RE: Former Amoco Site
Dear Bill,
This letter serves as a reminder to you that the Planning Commission delayed the further consideration of
your needed Conditional Use Permit Amendment(s) until they are provided detailed information regarding
the petroleum clean-up that is occurring at the site. To date the City has not been provided any additional
information.
Specifically they are looking for the following information and in some detail: What firm is performing the
work? What is the clean-up methodology, What is the timeline for completion?
As stated at the meeting, Planning Commission asked that this information be provided by the firm actually
performing the work, either in writing or in person at the April meeting to be held at 7pm on April 13
2006 at City Hall. If this information is to be provided in writing, I must receive this information not later
than noon on Friday, April 7, 2006.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Eric Johnson
