Letter from Mission Hills Garden Homeowners Association 12-05-2014December 5, 2014
Sharmeen AI -Jaff, Senior Planner
City of Chanhassen
Dear Sharmeen:
CITY OFCHANHASSEN
RECEIVED
DEC 0 0 2014
CHANHASSEN PLANNING DEPT
This letter is in follow -up to our telephone call yesterday and the letter you
received dated October 28, 2014 concerning the proposed senior housing
development on the southeast corner of Highway 101 and West 86th Street.
As we discussed, the Mission Hills Garden Homeowners' Association would like to
be involved in the planning discussions concerning the redesign of the West 86th
median where it intersects with Mission Hills Drive, leading to Highway 101. We
also request that we be involved in the planning of the changes to the
intersection of Highway 101 and West 86th Street resulting from the increased
traffic from all area development.
Our biggest concern involves the control of traffic at 101 and 86th, making a left
hand turn or going south on 101 is a problem today, and will grow with the two
housing projects being connected to 86th in 2015.
As we also discussed, future development on the west side of 101 on the
remaining open land should be taken into consideration at this time. Also the city
trail that crosses 101 at 86th will also need to be addressed.
As an association we request the City give serious consideration to working with
all government agencies involved to construct a roundabout on 101 where it
intersects with 86th. If the roundabout is not feasible, we are open to other traffic
control systems to improve the current problem of left hand turns /south bound
101 traffic coming out of 86th Street.
Sharmeen, please consider this letter to be our second request to be participants
in the planning and re- design meetings for the future intersection of Highway 101
and W 86`h Street.
Respectfully submitted
David F Nickolay, Vice President
Mission Hills Garden Homeowners' Association
