Dear Mr. Richards:
Enclosed is our response to your Plan Review letter for M &I Bank — Oak Park Heights, MN
dated September 17, 2008.
1. The site plan has been revised by MFRA so that the parking area will be at least 10' from
all driveway curblines.
2. The unfinished basement area is intended to meet the bank's storage needs. The
building permit process would be the ultimate control for possible future changes. No.
changes are anticipated.
3. We have added a light pole detail indicating that the overall pole height for site lighting
will not exceed 25'. We have also included a fixture cut of the drive -thru canopy lighting
which indicates a flush - mounted fixture.
4. All signage including the monument sign will be internally lit.
5. MFRA has provided a legal description for the trail along 60 Street North.
6. MFRA has pursued Record Plan Information from the City Engineer; however, too date
have not received any information. The existing utilities shown on the plan are based
upon the field locates provided by Gopher One.
7. We are unsure of the need for a perspective drawing to indicate the visibility of the Jerry's
Auto Body Building signage. KKE and MFRA do not have access to a Jerry's Grading
Plan or the Building Elevations. It is obvious that the M & 1 Bank Building will impact the
site line to Jerry's as you approach from the East.
8. A Building Material Sample Board vvlirte provided - forth - P1anr -in Co mig:sion and city
Council meetings.
