I have always had an interest in city government because as a child and teen I watched my father sit on both the planning commission and city council in Arden Hills. After seeing what it takes to be part of the city government I knew this would be something I wanted to do. After reading Chanhassen's comprehensive plan I knew I could help enact our plan by upholding Chanhassen's comprehensive plan by governing thought the zoning ordinances. I want to help guide the residents of Chanhassen to understand clearly why the planning commission is important to their community and how the ordinances and judgment set forth impact not only the city but the residents and businesses as well. I believe a good rapport with our constituents and my clear understand of Chanhassen' s goals will create positive feedback to and from the community. Specific Qualifications for the Position: I am qualified for this position because I have taken the time to examine Chanhassen comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance, so I have an understanding as to what Chanhassen's goals are for the future. I am also aware of how our comprehensive plan is reviewed by the Metropolitan Council and how this dynamic is essential to our plan, the city, and the region as a whole. I am a person who follows through, and when I obtain this position I will put my whole self into the commission by understanding and learning everything that affects the planning commission and city: from protecting property owner rights to understanding the analysis in determining if Chanhassen would benefit from building a retail space by the new 312/212 corridor.
