Re: Oak Park Heights — St.Croix Cleaners — Oak Park Ponds Addition, PUD
Amendment; File 798.02 -05.14
With this letter, I am submitting the requested information to complete our application
submitted on Nov 8, 2005. The following items were requested in your letter dated Nov
17
1) Documentation of existing cross easements, declarations and agreements. A
copy of the Declaration of Restrictions and Easements "DRE" filed June 27, 1997
is attached.
2) Changes to building plans to allow tenant spaces access to a service door and
trash disposal facilities. While we appreciate the recommendation and will
consider it for convenience reasons, we are unaware of any codes which make this
a requirement and respectfully submit the plan as is.
Regarding Service Availability Charges (SAC), by moving Oak Park Heights only
Laundromat to a different, more accessible location in Oak Park Heights it is in the best
interest of the residents. Current old inefficient commercial washers will be replaced
with new high efficiency commercial washers. More utility value would be realized
given less water and sewer usage for the same amount of clothes washed.
To pay tens -of- thousands of dollars in WAC /SAC charges, to move our business a mile
away in the same city and be more efficient with the environment and provide a state -of-
the -art facility for residents feels like an injustice. I hope that the city will reconsider
assessing this tax.
