Letter and Petition from Deborah Zorn 12-04-20124 December 2012
Dear Planning Commission members,
My name is Deborah Zorn. I live at 7574 Ridgeview Point, Chanhassen, within one mile
of the proposed project. Together with surrounding neighborhood developments and
residents, we have collected over 570 petition signatures against the proposal:
http://www. petitions / city- of- chanhassen- preserve- chanhassen- stop- galpin-
apt- proposal -a -225- unit - development #share
While nearly 600 residents may be a small number, the context to consider is collecting
this number in less than one month (11/13-12/4) and during the holiday season. After
the recent election last month, we all know the importance of nearly 600 residents
casting their opinion.
As you learn more about the Galpin Apartment proposal this evening and hear from
community members, I would like to share with you the following:
1. Chanhassen Best Place to Live — let's keep it that way! I encourage City Council to
welcome thoughtful development, according to the 2030 Comp Plan that enhances our
community.
2. Zoning — why consider a zoning change when there is land already guided in the
2030 Comp Plan for high - density residential? Even without this project, there are or will
be 1,706 multi - family units in the Highway 5 corridor from Audubon to Highway
41 *....and including this project, over 1900 units. There is no glaring need to add more
high density residential units into this area which has no public transportation or retail
services. Just to the east on 78 Street there is already 103+ acres zoned medium and
high density residential. This area has already been planned with medium and high
density residential in mind and does not need additional areas such as the Galpin
Apartment proposal. *Note: attachments below.
3. Density transfer — how can a density transfer be applied to two distinct legal parcels
that are separated by a public street? Internal is defined as "existing or situated within
the limits ". In most cases and most cities, density transfers are utilized within a single
property. Furthermore, on May 22, 2006, City Council denied the Galpin Crossing
proposal on the north parcel with one finding being that the 12 units were too many. /f
12 units were not approved in 2006, why should 96 units be considered for
transfer?
In closing, let's welcome the developer to Chanhassen and build 225 units of market -
rate apartments. This is the wrong site for many reasons. Let's encourage them to come
to Chanhassen and build in spaces guided for this type of use and in areas of with retail
and transportation services.
Sincerely,
O orah Zorn

I feel this 225+ unit <a href= "http: / /apt.com" rel= "nofoliow " >apt.com < /a >piex will MAJORLY the
neighborhood in a negative way! The Intersection Is already congested and dangerous. Now you will
be adding an additional 300 +cars to it with NO controlled Intersectlonl Many chlidren'travel this
frontage road to local businesses and to school! Also, there are certainly blind spots at both
2
Stacy Beno chanhasse MN 55317 11/15/12 entrances of Vasserman Ridge. Crazy! Ridiculous! NOI11
Traffic and something so monstrous and so close to Hwy 5 and 78th St. will took ridiculous for our
community. That corner is not very big to support such a tall structure. Also, there is a dangerous
corner coming out Vasserman Ridge and adding all that traffic right at the neighborhood entrance
3
Tamara Hodgins Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 will be even more dangerous.
I agree with the points in the overview and am especially worried about traffic related to the density
4
Chris Sibley Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 of the proposed development.
To replace a beautiful wetland with a huge conglomerate of an apartment complex would be an eye-
sore to our green environment, a traffic nightmare, complete noise pollution and an environmental
hazzard (water run -off sewer and electrical, etc). Zone It for a restaurant or coffee shop. A 225
5
Kim Daughton Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 unit apartment complex ? ?? That's pure crazy!!
I don't believe this will be a positive Impact on preserving the overall city of Chanhassen with traffic,
6
Ben Bartels chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 safety and home values.
We have witnessed numerous accidents around the area of the proposed apartments. Adding the
7
Leah Plath Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 additional traffic to this area will be dangerous,
traffic and safety Issues. Property not zoned for this. Too dense for size of property.

Chad Meyer Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 Live in nei hboring area.
Mary Valentine Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 Increased traffic and public safety
This large'225 unit apartment building would create a significant traffic hazard In an already

11
Tiffany Weyandt Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 dangerous Intersection.
I believe the parcel of land in question should be developed; however, the proposed development is
not consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan and we homeowners nearby relled on the
Comprehensive Plan when we purchased. During this terrible economy most of us have seen our
home prices greatly Impacted with many people now having negative equity. The proposed
development will not add value to the homes (and townhomes) nearby. A variance In this situation
should only be Issued where there is a meaningful public benefit, not just because there Is a limited
economic benefit to the property owner. Here, the size and scope of the project only benefits the
property owner. The streets of Galp!n and 78th Street cannot sustain 300+ more cars dally,
particularly during peak rush hour. The U -turns out of Kwik Trip and the bl!ndspot exiting
Vasserman Ridge community to 78th Street are already dangerous. Also, the Bluff Creek watershed
district is currently under active investigation by the state for water quality problems. The proposed
development is a major change in the City Comprehensive Plan which could easily do damage to
Bluff Creek which would increase costs to all city taxpayers in mitigation. If the market does
support such a major apartment complex in Chanhassen, there are more appropriate sites in the
city, closer to Highway 212 where there are large tracts already zoned for this kind of development,
near Parkl& Ride. We ask the Planning Commission and City Council to resist the temptation
apparent In increased tax revenue. We ask that they fulfill their oaths to serve the residents of
Chanhassen for the public benefit. Please deny the variances and other changes that are needed to
12
Robert Webber Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 proceed on this development.

Property values, Too much

I use that intersection daily. 78th and Galpin Is a very dangerous intersection and needs NO MORE

Laura Larson Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 TRAFFICI
Ronald Solhe!m Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 Density not appropriate for site and area
This is not the appropriate location for an apartment complex. It would add tremendous stress to
15
16
Nicole Muschewske Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 an already delicate road way. The Increase in car and foot traffic would be very dangerous.
This complex will be right out the back of my home. Lights from cars on 78th currently shine right
Into my bedroom. I hate to think what It would be like with 100's of additional cars per night! And,
17
Gerald Wolfe Chanhassen MN 55317 -4 11/15/12 the lights from the parking lot will light up our house all night long.
I believe this proposed complex would bring traffic Issues, pedestrian safety Issues and it would be
18
Kathleen Price Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 unsightly and excessively large for such a small site.
I live near this proposed development and I do not want an appartment complex built there. It will
19
Valerie Pass Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 have a negative Impact on the surrounding wetlands as stated in this Petition.
I live on Galpin and already hear too much traffic behind my house. This would greatly depreciate
the value of my home, as well as reduce the quality of life In Chanhassen. There are no foreseeable
20
David McKinley Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 benefits to allowing this variance In the zoning of this property.
I travel Galpin multiple times every day and am very concerned that the Increased volume of cars
from a facility - that is proposed to be over the maximum density use for the plot - will bring an
21
todd allard chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 Increased likelihood of accidents and Injury.
David Moser Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 Traffic hazard, not consistent with surronding development

23
Alisa Lacomy Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 In that area
The traffic at Intersection with Kwik trip and CVS already there is very bad in morning and evening.
This would add to the problem. Does not fit neighborhood buildings. Would cause school
24
Todd Jutting Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 rezoneing.
Stephen Sando Edina MN 55424 11/15/12 Have family in area. Already too much traffic and congestion.
Traffic at Hwy 5 and Galpin would become to great and a danger to our residents. Changes the
25
zoning. It Is a bad location for high density housing. I am concerned about water quality and the
26
Patty Hugh Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 burden on police and utilities services.
Increased concern with traffic and safety of children and adults using the trail system around the
27
John Gans Excelsior MN 55331 11/15/12 proposed development.
A project of this size will be a burden to the neighborhood and strain our city budget. Our
infrastructure is not prepared to handle the influx of this many people. This would affect schooling,
28
Dagmar Diethelm Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 street and utilities in a manner that the city Is not prepared to upgrade at this point.
Angela Vukovich Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 I'm concerned about the traffic hazards this would create.
Sharon Kraus Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 Increased i traffic, potential safety hazards
Cara Kail Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 I live directly down the street!
Michelle Luterbach chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 It completely demolishes the aesthetics of the streets around my home.
Janet Rzonca Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 Too big for that corner - too much congestion,
This will add enormous traffic to an Intersection that Is already dangerous. There are so many

33
children who ride their bikes to Kwik Trip and CVS. I've already seen several accidents and adding

Kim Wellman Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 We do not need increased traffic in this area. It Is already dangerous enough.
A development of this size on this location would negatively Impact traffic and safety, the

Mary Oppegaard Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 development.
Brad Lacomy Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 Detriment to my neighborhood
Karen Bamberg Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 bad Idea to build an apartment complex at this location.
Preserve the way of living that we expected when moving to Chanhassen. The current Infrastructure
38

Is not prepared to absorb such an Influx of residents In this area. Additionally, the location Is
perched between a fontage road and Highway 5 - what Is the positve outlook on such a
40
Louis Diethelm Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 development with plenty of other sites available ?
I am very concerned with traffic /safety Issues and do not believe something of this magnitude can
41

Mary Olson Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 Traffic, zoning, watershed, noise & safety concerns.
K S Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 traffic and crime
Lived in Longacres subdivision for 12 years. Love the neighborhood and love that It's all Inhabited
42
43
by private homeowners. Apartments promote the feel of "temporary" dwellers. Great for young
people, and young couples with no children, but doesn't really fit In to the Family neighborhood feel
of this area. I believe would bring home values down either further than they already are. NOT the
44
Robyn Chargo Mound MN 55364 11/15/12 right timing for this, at all.
As a home owner of Majestic Way (located off Galpin) I feel this is a horrible Idea and am happy to
pass this petition on. The intersection of Galpin & 78th Street is already a difficult Intersection to
cross (in car or on foot) with the number of cars who make u -turns coming out of CVS and /or Kwik
Trip. Plus, I feel there has been an Increase in traffic on Galpin after the Hwy 41 construction.
Galpin is quickly becoming unsafe for children to cross.
Not to mention, adding short term housing in the area will only remove home buyers from the
market thus lower values even further. Townhomes are very affordable right now and the city
should be encouraging people to buy homes and not rent them. There are 7 town homes under
$120K and have been on the market for months!
I am sign!;ng this because I feel the need for apartments in my neighborhood Is NOT wanted. Please
45
Josh Kimber Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 support.
The home values within the blocks near this complex will go down. It is also not aesthect!c to the
46
Kristine Checheris Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 environment in the area.
The intersection of 5 and Galpin Is already very busy and accident prone. That much additional
47
Jill Hake Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 traffic at that Intersection will create significantly more risk of accident.
Due to heavier traffic along that way If this complex goes up, I am more worried about car accidents
48
Nadia Janson Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 on Highway 5 because of this proposed development.
Particularly concerned about impact on property values and safety due to increased density and
49
Andrew Maus Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 traffic (especially due to blinds of on 78th West of Vasserman Trail).
A B C D F I G
Safety, there Is always an accident at that stop light as well as safety of the kids at Bluff Creek
Elementary. Generally apts do not raise the property value of the city and I feel like Chanhassen
when given the opportunity to devlelop we choose options that de -value the City and the property
50
carolyn thomson chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 of the residents.
Christine Stark Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 Too much traffic congestion near a quiet neighborhood and school.
Scott Yager Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 I live in Longacres and don't want the traffic of an apartment complex. Too many units.
Way too large of a developement with high volume traffic In an already dangerously over crowded
51
52
53
Jennifer Fritz Chanhassen MN 55317 11/15/12 Interectlon at both frontage road and State Highway!
The additional traffic Is certainly a concern. 225 units would also drastically Increase the population
of the fairly small area. This could negatively Impact the community In many ways,Aisafety, home

Traffic and the reason I live out here is to get away from this kind of density. In addition, property

I do not' believe this size of an apartment complex is appropriate for this area. The Increased traffic
down Galpin Blvd to Highway 7 Is not appropriate given the size of road way access of Galpin Blvd
and W. 78th Street. The additional trips would make an already highly traveled stop light area
tough to navigate. There is a lot of traffic from Kwik Trip and CVS already that Imposes difficulties
in getting around this area. It had never been planned for the increase of 162 units which would
equate to approx 250 additional cars which is 1.5 cars per apartment. Similar to Walmart and the

I live a mile away from this intersection. My teenage son and I walk/run /bike around this area

for an apartment building of this size. Rush hour traffic Is already difficult down Hwy 5. It would

This development is not in line with the Comprehensive plan and would deteriorate the quality of life
for area residents. In addition, having such a large unit development In such a small area will
greatly Increase the safety risk for everyone living or travelling through this area. Besides the
Increased traffic at an already dangerous Intersection, there will now be a reason for children living
In the development to want to cross this major intersection to go to CVS, Kwik Trip, or tc go to Bluff
Creek Elementary/Chanhassen Recreation Center. Without an underpass or overpass, you will be
putting childrens lives in jeopardy. To sum up, this is not an appropriate development for this area
