meeting, took comments from the applicants and public, closed the public hearing, and made the
following recommendation:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING
COMMISSION FOR THE CITY OF OAK PARK HEIGHTS THAT THE PLANNING
COMMISSION RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING:
A. The application submitted by S & C Bank for a minor subdivision and amended planned
unit development to create a two unit condominium for 5795 Morning Dove Avenue
North, and affecting the real property as follows:
SEE ATTACHMENT A
Be and the same as hereby recommended to the City Council of the City of Oak Park Heights for
approval subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant produce either a title opinion or a title commitment or other verification of
the status of current title, depicting current fee owner and outstanding liens and
encumbrances against the building and property subject to review and approval of the
City Attorney.
2. The applicant supply mylars relative to the Common Interest Community #235 that they
wish to create, with appropriate places for signatures of current owner and encumbering
interest against the property, in addition to the other statutory executions that need to be
on that plat. The plat shall be subject to review and approval of the City Administrator
and City Attorney.
3. The applicant has informed us that, notwithstanding the condominiumization of the
building, they do not intend to have separate utilities to Unit 101, which is being created
by the condominium and minor subdivision application. Thus, a condition of the
application will have to be that the fee owner of Unit 100 and their successors, heirs and
assigns will be directly responsible to the City of Oak Park Heights for payment of all
outstanding utilities relative to the property, it being understood that the City will not
have to create a separate billing entity or item for Unit 101, within its database, for utility
billings.
4. The applicant shall provide a completed, fully executed copy of a Common Interest
Community #235 declaration, in substantially the same form as provided to the City, as
part of the final permitting, subject to approval of the City Attorney. That document will
also have to be amended to reflect that all utility billings for the City of Oak Park Heights
will be billed directly to Unit 100, who will then prorate or collect from Unit 101, its fair
share of such billings. Not withstanding that process, Unit 100 will be solely and
exclusively responsible to the City of Oak Park Heights for payment of all municipal
utility billings incurred on the premises.

5. Any changes to the signage shall require submittal of a sign permit, subject to review and
approval of the Building Official.
6. The landscaping shall be inspected by the City Arborist in June of 2004. Any trees or
shrubs that are dead or diseased, as determined by the City Arborist, shall be replaced by
the applicant with similar, healthy plant materials subject to review and approval of the
City Arborist.
Recommended by the Planning Commission of the City of Oak Park Heights this 12 day
of February 2004.
