Dear Kris:
On behalf of Jeff Warren with Renton Homes, Hudson Wisconsin, I am submittin a
development application for the Oak Park S project located on the west side of Oak
Avenue North just north of 60'h Street Court North. I have enclosed a $400-00 check for the
application fee. It is assumed the $2000.00 escrow from the previous application has sufficient
funds remainin for review of this submittal. Please advise me if this is not the case.
Introduction:
Mr. Jeff Warren, who currentl is holdin a purchase a with Mr. Michael Lundber
( Owner ) , has contracted with Emmons and Olivier Resources and Pro Architecture to
develop the enclosed plan set and application materials for submittal to the Cit of Oak Park
Hei for the Plannin Commission and Cit Council review and approval process. Tentative
schedule is for a fall season, 2002 construction start.
This submittal is a down-scaled version of the Oak Park S development plan previousl
denied b the Plannin commission in Au Two major items of concern at the previous
plannin meetin were access and densit To resolve these issues Renton Homes has proposed
to:
1. Reduce the number of units to 9 townhomes to meet the Cit densit rule.
2. Access the project from Oak Avenue, since access throu the Pondview Condos
was met with g reat resistance. Application has been submitted to Mn/DOT for ROW
access. Initial conversations with Mn/DOT have determined access will be g ranted.
Ke Elements of the Oak Park S Residential Development:
• The site consists of a vacant 0.84 acre parcel with casement on the eastern boundar
coincident with Oak Avenue North.
• A water main and sanitar sewer casement also exists on the propert runnin in an east
west direction. Services for the units will be brou in from these existin utilities.
• The buildin la shown is desi to fit on the parcel without encroachin on the
aforementioned easements.
