RE: Brown's Creek Approvals
Proposed Menards Expansion
Oak Park Hei MN
Dear Eric:
As y ou ma alread know, I appeared before the Brown's Creek Watershed District Board
last ni to obtain their approval of the Menards expansion project. 1 indicated to the board
that Menard, Inc. is prepared to compl with all of the comments from the district's staff
report and would g o forward with the project if the comments were made conditions of
approval. However, I was troubled when the board added one last-minute condition.
The board's approval was conditioned on the watershed district, the Cit of Stillwater and the
Cit of Oak Park Hei enterin into an a relative to storm water. This condition
is harmless to Menard, Inc. so lon as the parties come to in the comin da
However, I am ver concerned that on ne mi unnecessaril dela the
Menards expansion project and could cost the compan si in the form of lost
profits.
I am hopeful that the pla can resolve an differences and enter into an a Please
contact me at y our ver next convenience to discuss. Your cooperation and support are
g reatl y appreciated. Thanks.
