Re: Accumulation of Ice
Gentlemen:
Public utility crews for the City of Oak Park Heights have
noticed that there is a significant accumulation of ice in the
private drive on the east side of your property.
As you may be aware, the city street (Omaha Avenue) ends at
the entrance of the K -Mart parking lot and the projection of the
travelled portion of the street area extending along the east
side of your property is common area within the St. Croix Mall
PUD.
As common area, it is not the responsibility of the City of
Oak Park Heights to maintain that area, although the City plows
have on occasion passed through the area and attempted to clear
some of the ice and debris as they did so. However, the City is
not authorized to be in the common area as it affects removal of
ice and snow and the current accumulations of ice along that
private drive appear to make passage for pedestrians and
vehicular traffic unsafe.
We are taking this opportunity to advise you that the City
does perceive a public safety risk in the area adjacent to your
property on that private drive or common area and is requesting
that you and other affected parties within the St. Croix Mall PUD
take appropriate action to clear the area of accumulations of ice
and snow.
It would appear also that much of the problem as it affects .
the accumulation of ice is directly related to a drainage issue
as it affects the St. Croix Bowl property. We, of course, would
also recommend that you take appropriate action to review the
14168 North 57th Street • Box 2007 • Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 55082 -2007

Re: Accumulation of Ice
drainage issues as it affects your property and the run -off from
the roof and other areas so that this problem does not continue
into future winter seasons.
Because the area is not a public street the City of Oak Park
Heights will not be able to provide any assistance as it affects
removal of snow and ice in the area.
Should you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact
me or Roger Benson in this office.
Sincerely,
CITY OF OAR PARR HEIGHTS
