Subject: April 1 - Boulder Cove Planning Commission meeting
Chanhassen Planning Commission:
As a homeowner off of Strawberry Lane, I write to you with concern over the proposed Boulder Cove
development Planning Case 2014-09. First and foremost, I request that the planning commission postpone the
April 1 hearing to a date that is not during the public school spring break session as the majority of affected
residents are in the Minnetonka school district and are currently out of town, including myself.
Second, I understand that the developer has provided a notice of the hearing to residents within 500' of the
proposed borders. Given that the entrance to the proposed cul de sac will be connecting with Strawberry Lane
within the Shorewood borders, significantly more attention needs to be made to residents who connect off of
Strawberry Lane. Strawberry Lane is one of two roads that connect with Minnewashta Elementary School and
therefore has significant foot traffic and currently has no sidewalk. Any increase in vehicular traffic is of great
concern as Strawberry Lane already has major safety concerns. The parents of Minnewashta Elementary,
especially those whose children walk along Strawberry Lane should be included in the notifications of public
hearings.
Again, given the spring break schedule, this hearing should be postponed and suggest that a public hearing be
scheduled with the residents of Strawberry Lane and the connecting cul-de-sacs as well as school officials of
Minnewashta Elementary prior to any recommendations from the Chanhassen Planning Commission.
Regards,
Patrick
