MAY 26, 2004 NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
QUESTIONS/ISSUES SUMMARY
The following is a summary of the questions and issues raised by the property owners at
the May 26, 2004 neighborhood meeting.

13.
The east-west collector roadway will serve as it connection fi'om tine TH
212/Powers Boulevard interchange to neighborhoods in Chaska. What can be
done to limit the use of this roadway by Chaska residents and by heavy trucks?
What is the estimated traffic volume on the east-west collector roadway? Has
anyone done a study to look at travel times to determine if the east-west collector
roadway will be used as a cut-through route fei' Chaska residents?
Does the east-west collector roadway need to cross Bluff Creek? Why can't it be
two cul-de-sacs without a creek crossing?
Who determined the design/alignment for the east-west collector roadway and can
it be something different than what is shown on the maps?
The proposed intersections along Audubon Road and Lyman Boulevard may not
work considering topography and land features. Were these issues considered in
the design of the various roadways?
Who determined the design fei' the proposed sanitary sewer lines? The locations
shown on the maps will split properties and may impact future development
plans. Why can't the sanitary sewer follow the roadways? How deep will the
sanitary sewer be'?
The proposed assessments are quite large. How much will the City and/or other
parties be paying fei' the improvements?
Why does Lyman Boulevard need to be widened'? Why should the 2005 MUSA
area pay fei' the widening? Don't the proposed widening improvements benefit
Chaska and areas outside of the 2005 MUSA area?
What is the origin of the proposed arterial/collector roadway assessment'? Is this a
City policy and how were the proposed assessment amounts determined?
There should be a reduction in assessments for those properties that dedicate
right-of-way and easements.
It seems like different properties will be benefited for thc roadway, sanitary
sewer, watermain, and storm drainage improvements. Are the assessment areas
the same fei' all of the improvements'?
The properties that are ready to be developed are pushing other properties that
aren't ready fei' development. The proposed assessments will force property
owners to develop. Why can't all development be delayed until everyone is
ready?
How will the proposed trail construction be funded? Why should property owners
be assessed for trails as a part of the roadway construction when they will be
required to pay a separate fee for trail improvements when they develop?

There are too many interchanges on TH 212. We don't need an interchange at
both Powers Boulevard and TH 101.
What is the status of bcrming along TH 212 for noise abatement?
What is the timing for the proposed improvements? Will the City be purchasing
my property if my home is in the way of tho proposed roadway improvements?
What is the schedule/process for the feasibility study? Will property owners have
another opportunity to review the proposed improvements before the feasibility
study is presented to the City Council?
