Establish No Parking Zone along Audubon Road Between
McGlynn Drive and Park Road - File No. PW~056H
Over the past eight years the City has receiyed numerous complaints regarding
truck parking along Audubon Road waiting to take deliveries at the Pillsbury
facility. The City has cooperated in the past with Pillsbury to permit parking to
accommodate their trucking needs. Over the past summer Pillsbury expanded
their truck loading facility and staging areas to accommodate the trucks waiting
for pick up and drop off. City staff received numerous complaints this summer on
the safety issues with sight lines with the trucks being parked along Audubon
Road. Attached is a letter from Pillsbury supporting the no parking zone along
Audubon Road. It is therefore recommended that the City Council adopt a
resolution establishing no parking zones along both sides of Audubon Road from
McGlynn Drive to 600 feet south of Park Road.
Attachments: 1. Letter dated September 20, 1999 from Mike Cursen of
Pillsbury.
2. No parking zone map.

Dear Mr. Hemp=l,
The purpose of this letter is to verify Pfilsbury's support for eliminating parking along the west shoulder of
Audubon Road. The recent renovation of our parking facilities has generated additional on-site truck
parking that will accommodate our truck volume.
Pillsbury's goal is m prevent situations where the demand for parking exceeds oM capacity. We are
consistently worl~ing with our cartier base to insure Pillsbm'y policies are being followed; However~ the~e
may be uuanticipated, isolated events that challenge our parking capacity. Should a situation arise, we will
work directly x~Ath the City of Chanhassen to reach a compromise.
We would like to extend our thanks to the Chanhassen City Council and the City of Chanhasse'n for the
patience you provided during our parking lot renovation. We are proud to be a business partner ia your
community.
Sincerely,
Mike C'urson
