Maplewood, MN 55109
RE: Oak Park Heights — St. Croix Cleaners — Oak Park Ponds Addition,
PUD Amendment
FILE NO: 798.02 — 05.14
Dear Mr. Nemec:
The City of Oak Park Heights is in receipt of your application submitted on November 8,
2005 seeking consideration by the City for the addition to the Oak Park Ponds Shopping
Center for the St. Croix Cleaners and two tenant spaces. With this letter, we are
notifying you that your application will be deemed complete with the receipt of the
following items by November 23, 2005:
1. Documentation of the existing cross easements, declarations, and agreements
for your property within the Oak Park Ponds Shopping Center.
2. Changes to the building plans to allow for access for the two small tenant spaces
to the rear service door. This is necessary to provide a service door and access
to trash disposal facilities.
The City has reviewed the issue of transferring Service Availability Charges (SAC) from
the current leased space at 5850 Omaha Avenue North to the relocated business
space. The City will not allow the transfer of the credits. There is no evidence you paid
a SAC charge to the site or compensated the seller when you purchased the business.
Additionally, the City does not know what type of business will occupy this location once
you have left and what SAC credit will be necessary to accommodate that business. If
you have questions about this issue, please do not hesitate to contact Eric Johnson, the
City Administrator, at 651.439.4439.
Mr. David Nemec

additional 60 day period (for a total of 120 days from the date of application) inasmuch
as the City has been 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
with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
