Dear Mr. Lynskey:
The City is in receipt of your application materials submitted on May 14, 2014. The

Rezoning, and Preliminary/Final Plat to allow development of a 13 lot subdivision at
Oakgreen Avenue North and Oak Park Boulevard. With this letter we are notifying you
that the application is not complete. The City will deem it complete with receipt of the
following items by May 28, 2014:
1. Provide an ownership report from a title company.

park dedication.
3. Consider incorporating Outlot A into Lot 13. This can be discussed further at our
meeting with you next week.

regarding the housing product proposed for the development.
5. Revise the building pads on the plans to represent the correct setbacks. The
sideyard setback requirement is 10 feet.

12. Provide a plan for how the wetland buffering will be signed.
13. Issues related to a homeowners association and whether this should be a private
street should be discussed further at our meeting next week.

We would invite you and your representatives to a staff meeting on May 28, 2014 at
10:00 AM at City Hall to discuss these issues and address any questions you may have.
If all of the application materials are submitted as requested, the Planning Commission
would consider the application at a meeting scheduled for June 12, 2014 at 7:00 PM in
the City Hall Council chambers.
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 15.99, Sub. 3(f), the City of Oak Park Heights is
herewith extending the period of time for agency/city review of the application for an
additional 60 day period (for a total of 120 days from the date of a complete application)
inasmuch as the City has determined that additional research and study by the City staff
relative to the complexity of the project as proposed will be required.
Please contact me with any questions you may have.
