Re: Memorial Office Condos - 5595 Memorial Ave. N.
Dear Whitcomb:
1 am writing this letter to touch base with you on a couple of matters, the first of
which is signage allowance for the site. Your site is allowed a maximum of 300
sq. feet of signage to both buildings and the monument sign. Presently you. have
100 sq. ft. of signage to the monument sign, with internal illumination and dark
background. You also have a wall sign over the Victory Fitness Center, for which
there was not a permit pulled and is currently in violation of City Ordinance
requirements. At this time, 1 request that you complete the enclosed permit
application and return it to my attention with two sets of colored drawings of the
sign that include its dimensions or that you remove the sign no later than Friday,
May 4, 2007.
Secondly, 1 have been made aware that you are planning to open an onsite hourly
drop-in daycare at this building sometime in May of this year. The Planned Unit
Development for your site was based upon the buildings being office
condominiums and having uses as permitted with the B-3, Highway and
Business Warehousing Zoning District. Daycare is considered a Conditional Use
within this district and is currently not a permitted your site per your PUD
approval. A Conditional Use Permit must be applied for and granted before any
daycare operation may occur at 5595 Memorial Ave. N. For your convenience, 1
have enclosed a copy of the B-3 Zoning Ordinance as well as a Development
Application for application of Conditional Use Permit. Should you have any
questions regarding the CUP requirement, kindly contact City Administrator Eric
Johnson at 651-439-4439 or via email at eajohnson@cityofoakparkheights.com.
1 appreciate your taking the time and necessary steps to address the above
matters and to ensure that City Ordinances are being met as you continue with
the development of your site.
Sincerely,
pc:
