RE: Oak Park Heights — Oak Park Senior Living Phase I and II — PUD
Amendment — City Council Action, December 13, 2011 Meeting
FILE NO: 236.02 — 11.04
Dear Mr. Nolde:
As a follow up to the December 19, 2011 City Council meeting, I wanted to provide you
direction as to the City Council's action and the next steps with this project. The City
Council approved a motion to change the Comprehensive Plan land use classification
for the subject property from medium density to high density. This will move forward to
the Metropolitan Council for approval. Additionally they approved a motion to send the
application for the PUD amendment back to the Planning Commission. They specified
two conditions to this motion, found as follows:
1. The third story on Building 4 shall be eliminated. Only two stories of dwelling
units will be allowed for Building 4.
2. The overall density of the development, including the existing townhomes and
Oakgreen Commons shall not exceed 275 to 291 dwelling units.
Please provide revised plans to the City by December 21, 2011. We invite you and your
representatives to a meeting with City Staff to discuss the revised plans on December
28, 2011, 10:00 A.M. at City Hall.
If all of the application materials are submitted and issues resolved to the satisfaction of
City Staff, the Planning Commission would consider the application at a meeting
scheduled for January 12, 2011 at 7:00 P.M. in the City Hall Council chambers.
