Correspondence SectionCorrespondence September 10, 2000 Mr. Todd Hoffman City of Chanhassen 690 Coulter Drive Chanhassen, MN 55317 Dear Todd, We, the residents in the Carver Beach neighborhood, would like to thank the city for the improvements done last year to the Carver Beach Playground. The paved trail is great--more children than ever are riding their bikes in the park, rollerskating, and using the new playground equipment. We'd like to thank you and the City for maintaining the playground so well. Last summer one of the neighbors spoke to you about removing and replacing a dead tree and adding more trees to the playground and along Carver Beach Road. You replied you thought more trees were needed as well and to consider it taken care of. Sometime during July this year the dead tree was removed and the area mowed over as grass only. Today at our annual get-together, we are writing this letter to ask the City to please plant trees along Carver Beach Road, add more deciduous shade trees within the park, and spruce trees behind the batters cage and along the bike trail. Shade trees placed behind the ballgame spectator bench would be helpful and inviting. Thank you again, Todd, for your part in all the City of Chanhassen does to improve its neighborhood parks. We really appreciate it! With gratitude, The Neighbors of Carver Beach Hoffman, Todd From: Sent: To: Subject: Troy Kendrick [kendrick316 @ hotmail.com] Wednesday, October 04, 2000 2:48 PM thoffman @ ci.chanhassen.mn.us For the kids of Carver County bmx,doc Hi, my name is Troy Kendrick and I was sending this to you for the kids of Carver County. I live in Chaska myself and grew up in Chanhassen. This was a letter I had found on the internet and I thought it might be something you may want to consider for the following year. I personally have been involved with the sport of BMX for about 13 years and I am currently a professional racer. Thanks for reading this and please take thought to this matter at hand. thanks, Troy Kendrick. Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Like most parks in most metropolitan cities, it has trees, grass, sidewalks, swings and a sandbox. Nice park. But, very few young people around here use it. Being basically a curious fellow, I did some checking to lind out why. I discovered that there are any number of local ordinances which apply to parks in my city. One prohibits climbing in the trees. Another states that you cannot dig in the grass or do anything that will tear it up. Still another lbrbids riding skateboards on the sidewalk and there's one that outlaws bicycles fi-om the park entirely. That leaves the swings and sandbox. Terrific...with super-attractions like these, the young people around here get down to this park about once a year for maybe ten minutes. This park cost $750,000 of you-know-who's money. So, where do these kids go instead? To the vacant lots, of course. There they can ride bicycles, build jumps and moto-cross tracks, dig in the dirt, climb tress, holler and yell--whatever. Young people are active and energetic. They are learning, growing and testing themselves and their environment. They are changing in mind and body fi'om children into adults. During this cataclysmic process, they need to, and will, blow offa bunch of steam. But where and how'? And, will their outlets be physically and mentally healthy or unhealthy? When the last vacant lot is gone, where do these young people go to spend their vast energies? And, when they have nowhere to go that offers a challenge, hoxv many of them will become involved in vandalism, drinking, stealing or drugs for excitement. That park down the street fi'om my house is not an example of all the city parks in the United States. Some city governments create parks that truly reflect the needs and desires of the local residents. All too many city governments, however, are building parks that are sterile environments. The Parks and Recreations departments in these cities are missing their obligations by a mile. ~ n I o ' To this latter group I would su?~est co s'derin= the prnnary potential use,'s of most city parks; our young people. If they were asked what they would most like included in park designs, bicycle motocross tracks, skateboard areas and mini-bikes trails would top tile list. Isn't it about time that at least a percentage of city park land include facilities that these young people want and really will use? I cannot speak for skateboarders or mini-bikers, but I can lbr the BMXers. BMX was invented by young people. It adapts extremely well to park environments, with a mininmm outlay of money. It is non-polluting. It builds health, coordination and character. It can be'as competitive or non-competitive as tile individual wants to make it. It is an individual (as opposed to team) sport that offers many lessons which can be applied directly to adult life in our competitive society. It is also a sport that the entire family can, and usually will, become involved in. In response to this I would expect the Parks and Recreation people to say, "All this is fine, but bicycle motocross racing is dangerous and would invite lawsuits. Besides, it's probably just a fad." It is true that bicycle motocross racing contains an element of danger. But, so does driving a cai', yet cities are building new streets all the time. What I think is really dangerous is that as om' young people have fewer places to go where they can test themselves and blow off steam, such pastimes as vandalism, drugs, gangs, etc. will become .just that much more tempting to them. Possible lawsuits are definitely a factor to consider when planning a BMX track, but they are not sufficient reason for abandoning the project before is has even begun. Standard procedure at races is to require the promoter of a race to carry liability and often medical insurance. If you think bicycle motocross may be just a fad, well Park and Rec people, I have news. A recent count puts BMX tracks in the United States well'over the three hundred mark, with new ones being built every week. BMX has already spread to Canada, Mexico, Australia, Japan and parts of Europe. Some of these tracks operate as many as two or three times a week. If you figure three hundred actively involved racers at each track, and this figure is low, that puts the number of BMXers in the U.S. up to around 90,000. If we were to count the kids who have the equipment and the desire to race but have no tracks in their area, this figure would become astronomical. There are at least three national publications devoted entirely to the sport or bicycle motocross, with many newsstand magazines carrying occasional articles. A whole new industry has grown out of BMX. Many companies have been created or have expanded to meet the demand for top quality BMX equipment. Their biggest problem is expanding fast enough to fill their ever increasing orders. Virtually every major bicycle manufacturer is now building motocross bicycle and related equipment. BMX races have been held in the Los Angeles Coliseum, the Astro Dome in Texas and many state and county fairs. BMX has been on television and in the movies. BMX races have been sponsored by Coca Cola, RC Cola, Schwinn, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki, Magnavox, and many more large, national and international companies. I could go on, but I think I've made my point. If you still think BMX is a fad, go down to your local bicycle shop and ask them what kind of bikes and equipment are selling to the youth market these days. Well, Parks and Recreation people, that's it. Wouldn't you say it's about time to start talking to the young people, and listening to what they have to say?

Mr. David Hempel, Assistant City Engineer who is no longer employed by the City, had previously informed me that the developer indicates the erosion control removal is the responsibility of the church. The City has received numerous complaints from Chanhassen residents who use the trail of its unsightly appearance and are asking why it still exists. I realize this may be an unfamiliar request, but I do hope this can be worked out between the church and developer. Please respond with your concurrence or disagreements. I can be reached at 937- 1900, ext. 143. IfI can be of any other help in this matter, please feet flee to call. Sincerely, CITY OF CHANHASSEN Bill Bement Engineering Technician IV BB:jms C~ Teresa.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Data from laboratory studies conducted by Monsanto ~vith ROUNDUP® ULTRA Herbicide are summarized below: Single exposure (act, re) studies indicate: Oral - FIFRA Category IV Dermal - FIFRA Category IV Inhalation - FIFRA Category IV; Not DOT poisonous Eye Irritation - FIFRA Category III MONSANTO Material Safety Data ROUNDUP® ULTRA Herbicide MSDS No: S00012770 Page 5 of 6 5/26/1999 Skin Irritation - FIFRA Category IV No skin allergy was observed in guinea pigs following repeated skin exposure. COMPOUNDS: Data from laboratory studies conducted by Monsanto and from the scientific literature on components of ROUNDUP® ULTRA Herbicide: Isopropylamine Salt of Glyphosate: Data from studies with a formulation comprised of 62% isopropylamine salt of giyphosate (MON 0139) indicate the following: In repeat dosing studies (6-month), dogs fed MON 0139 exhibited slight body weight changes. Following repeated skin exposure (3-week) to MON 0139, skin irritation was the primary effect in rabbits. Additional toxicity information is available on glyphosate, the active herbicidal ingredient of MON 0139. Following repeated exposures (90-days) to glyphosate in their feed, decreased weight gains were noted at the highest test level in mice, while no treatment-related effects occurred in rats. Following repeated skin exposure (3 weeks) to glyphosate, slight skin irritation was tile primary effect observed in rabbits. No skin allergy was observed in guinea pigs following repeated skin exposure. There was no evidence of effects on the nervous system, including delayed effects in chickens (repeat oral doses) or cholinesterase inhibition in rats (single oral doses). Reduced body weight gain and effects on liver tissues were observed with long-term (2-year) feeding of glyphosate to mice at high-dose levels. Reduced body weight gain and eye changes were observed at the high-dose level in one long4erm (2 year) feeding study with rats, while no treatment-related effects occurred in a second study. No adverse effects were observed in feeding studies with dogs. Glyphosate did not produce tumors in any of these studies. Based on the results from the chronic studies, EPA has classified glyphosate in category E (evidence of non-carcinogenieity for humans). No birth defects were noted in rats and rabbits given glyphosate orally during pregnancy, even at amounts which produced adverse effects on tile mothers. Glyphosate was fed continuously to rats at very high dose levels for 2 successive generations. Toxicity was reported in offspring from the high dose, a level which also produced adverse effects on the mothers. In a 3 generation study conducted at lower dose levels, no effects were seen on the ability of male or female rats to reproduce. Glyphosate has produced no genetic changes in a variety of standard tests using animals and animal or bacterial cells. 12.

However, it is a good idea to begin using the 952 area code when you call WHCS.
