RE: City Approvals — Menards of Oak Park Heights Expansion
Dear Eric:
SENT VIA FAX & US MAIL
FAX: (651) 439-0574
wanted to touch base with you regarding the city approvals for the Menards of Oak Park
Heights expansion. 1 am preparing a development summary to send to my Store
Planning/Construction Division and would like to attach thereto a copy of the minutes of
the January 13 Council meeting and/or a copy of the resolution approving the
Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
I also wanted to determine what, if anything, would be required in order to obtain
approval of our landscape plan from the City Arborist. Landscape plan approval is one of
the conditions of the CUP approval, which to my knowledge has not yet been satisfied.
Please be advised that our contractor will replace all dead or missing trees on site.
Further, we will destroy no trees, unless directed to do so by the Arborist.
Lastly, I wanted to inquire as to whether the city has been able to come to an agreement
with the seller, Bob Brackey, regarding traffic circulation.
Menard, Inc. is excited about breaking ground on this expansion. In fact, we are
currently finalizing our construction plans to submit to the state together with a building
permit application. Accordingly, please forward to me, at your very next convenience,
the requested information and documentation. If you have any questions or comments
regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact me at the numbers listed below.
Thanks.
