RE: Oak Park Heights— Oak Park Senior Living Phase IV—Senior Apartment
Building— Planned Unit Development—General Plan
FILE NO: 236.02 — 14.08
Dear Mr. Nolde:
The City has received your application materials on December 17, 2014 for a Planned
Unit Development General Plan for the Oak Park Senior Living Phase IV senior
apartment building located near Nova Scotia Avenue North and Upper 58th Street North.
The application consists of a request for a two story apartment building with an
underground parking garage which was included in the approved Master Plan for the
development. 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 January 7, 2015.
Should the following items not be received by such date and in total, the application
shall be considered incomplete:
1. The approved Master Plan included a trail at the south side of the proposed
building but the trail is not included in the current engineering plans. Please
revise the plan to include the trail.
2. Provide an update as to the status of the current plat and title work.
3. Provide engineering details for the retaining walls on either side of the parking
garage entrance.
4. Provide plan details for relocation of the irrigation system at the northwest corner
of the site.
5. The design of the front entrance of the building and the proposed parking
warrants additional discussion. The parking requires backing directly onto the
access roads and there is no drop off area. Staff would prefer a drop off area
with a different design for the parking.

6. The proximity of the building to the roadways is a concern. Could the building be
shifted to the south to allow additional green space?
7. Provide a specific signage plan for any wall or monument signs to be used for the
development.
8. Provide mechanical detail plans and screening for any outside units.
We invite you and your representatives to a meeting with City Staff to discuss this
application on January 7, 2015, 10:00 A.M. at City Hall.
If all of the application materials are submitted as requested, the Planning Commission
would consider the application at a meeting scheduled for January 15, 2015 at 7:00
P.M. in the City Hall Council chambers. If recommended by the Planning Commission
that evening, the City Council will review the application at their meeting scheduled for
January 27, 2015.
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,
rdjk
