RE: Oak Park Heights — Fury Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram — Conditional Use
Permit for an Automotive Sales and Service, Variance for Signage and
Lighting — 12969 60th Street North
FILE NO: 236.02 — 14.05
Dear Mr. Phillips:
The City is in receipt of your application materials submitted on September 17, 2014 for
automotive sales and service at 12969 60th Street North in Oak Park Heights. The
application consists of a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for the dealership
use at this location and variances for signage and lighting. 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 October 1, 2014:
1. Please provide the second page of the original application with signatures.
2. Please identify the number of existing vs proposed parking stalls with the
redevelopment.
3. Provide colored elevations for all of the building facades.
4. Provide building material samples by the time of the Planning Commission
meeting.
5. Provide a calculation of glass transparency for each of the facades.
6. Related to lighting, provide cut sheets for the proposed light fixtures including the
poles and bases. The lighting plans should be revised to meet the foot candle
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
7. Revise the landscape plan to provide a planter or plantings at the base of the
freestanding signs.

8. Provide a graphic from Highway 36 with views to the site from both the east and
west that will justify the need for the 40 foot freestanding sign.
9. If there will be any car display areas outside of the defined parking area, please
identify on the plans.
10. Will there be any changes to the trash enclosures or mechanical equipment that
will require additional screening?
Staff reviewed the application materials at a meeting on September 24, 2014. We would
invite you and your representatives to a staff meeting on October 1, 2014 at 10:30 AM
at City Hall to discuss the application 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 October 16, 2014 at 7:00 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.
Sincerely,
Scott D. Richards, AICP - City Planning Consultant to the City of Oak Park Heights
