RE: oak Park Heights — Sunnyside Marina Pier and Slip Replacement
FILE NO: 70$.02 00.10
Dear Ms. Shodeen:
The city of oak Park Heights is in receipt of the DNR application for Sunnyside Marina
for pier and slip replacement. In reviewing the property file, the City issued a Planned
Unit Development/Conditional Use Permit (PUD/CUP) for the marina in the late 1970s.
Subsequent changes to the marina have required the processing of amended
P U DIC U Ps for the site. The city would require the amendment, even though most of
the improvements occur Within the St. Croix River, in that there is a change in shoreline
proposed and the improvements Would likely have an impact on the fuel dispensing and
pump out facilities.
The city will notify the contact persons for the marina and advise them of the
requirements and timelines for processing the PUD request. A public hearing Will be
conducted at the Planning Commission level, of Which the DNR will be notified.
Thank you for taking the time to meet With Jim Butler and myself on Wednesday. If you
have any questions as we proceed with this project, please call nee, Jim or Kris
Danielson. We look forward to any comments from the DNR as the applicant proceeds
through the public hearing and decision process for the amended PUDICUP.
Sincerely,
