SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN: Neveaux
A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING A PROPOSED CORRIDOR FOR HIGHWAY 212.
WHEREAS, The relocation and construction of new Highway 212
through Eden Prairie, Chanhassen and Chaska has been
discussed for many years by citizens of those communities
and representatives of the Minnesota Department of
Transportation; and
WHEREAS, The project appears to be a high priority project
of MnDOT at a time when State funding seems to be
non-existent for such a construction project; and
.
WHEREAS, The Scoping Report for the project has been completed
and has received basically favorable and supportive
comments from the communities involved; and
WHEREAS, Those same communities are completing work on their
respective Comprehensive Plans to insure orderly
development within their community; and
WHEREAS, The unavailability of a designated corridor for the
future Highway 212 project makes orderly development
and planning and the preservation of a potential
corridor an extremely difficult or impossible task
within these communities; and
WHEREAS, Ttaffic continues to increase on Highway 212 and
Highway 5 thus creating increasingly hazardous conditions
along those routes.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED By the City Council of the City
of Chanhassen, as follows:
.
1). That the need for the new Highway 212 continues to
grow more urgent each year and the designation and
preservation of a corridor is absolutely crucial at
this time to enable orderly planning and development
within the City, this designation being in the best
interests of the City and MnDOT and in compliance with
the mandate of the Metropolitan Council for orderly
planning; and
.
2). That the City Council hereby proposes that Carver
County and the Cities of Chaska, Chanhassen and Eden
Prairie enter into a joint planning effort with the
Metropolitan Council to establish the TH 212 and TH
169 corr~dor through the official map process, using the
Metropol~tan Council's experience with the Shakopee
By-Pass; and
3). That Metropolitan Council Chairman Weaver is requested
to select a representative(s) of the Metropolitan Council
to meet with representatives of Carver County and the
Cities of Chaska, Chanhassen and Eden Prairire
for the purpose of developing a specific proposal for
a joint planning effort; and
4). That the City Attorney is hereby directed to meet and
confer with representatives of the other two cities involved
and Carver County to prepare a joint agreement between
the Cities of Eden Prairie,Chanhassen, and Chaska and
Carver County and such other governmental entities
or agencies deemed appropriate in order to effectuate
this very desirous and necessary joint planning effort.
