Re: TH 101- Lyman Boulevard to Pioneer Trail (2011- 02756 -MTS)
Dear Mr. Setering:
Thank you for your continued evaluation of the permit application from the City of
Chanhassen for the proposed TH 101 reconstruction project between Lyman Boulevard and
Pioneer Trail.
I have prepared the attached additional information in response to your February 4, 2013
letter requesting additional information regarding the need for the trail along the west side of
TH 101, and the location of storm pond 3. The 404(b)(1) guidelines have been reviewed in
preparing this additional information.
Based on the City's comprehensive review of environmental impacts of this project, it
maintains that the selected alternative results in the least environmentally damaging
alternative given the other alternatives do not meet the needs of the project and other
regulatory requirements.
If you have any questions or require any further information, please give we a call (651-
6434 -0455) as the construction documents will be sent out for bids shortly.
Thank you again for your review of this project.
Sincerely,
KIMLEY -HORN AND ASSOCIATES
