Administrative PacketAdministrative Section Avienda University of Minnesota Master Gardener Program Chanhassen Recreation Center Artisan Fair Exhibitor Directory Picnic Evaluations MEMORANDUM CITY OF CHANHASSEN Chanhassen is Community for Life-ProvidingforToday and Planning for Tomorrow TO: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager Kate Aanenson, Community Development Director FROM: Todd Hoffinan, Park & Recreation Director 4 DATE: October 26, 2016 SUBJ: Park and Recreation Commission Comments, Concept Plan Review, Avienda Regional/Lifestyle Center On Tuesday, October 25, 2016, the Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission took public comment and discussed desired park, open space, recreation, and trail components for the proposed Avienda concept planned unit development (PUD). Commissioners focused on making the development a highly desirable and livable environment for future residents and how best to integrate the site into the existing neighborhoods and landforms. Below is the Park and Recreation Commission's list of recommendations at the concept level: • Incorporate meaningful park -like places, including the provision of appropriate recreation equipment, site furnishings, and landscaping adjacent to both the townhome and apartment neighborhoods. • Preserve the woodlands identified in the Bluff Creek Overlay District to the greatest extent possible. The Commission envisions nature trails within a portion of the woodlands. • Significantly increase the walkability of the core retail space to encourage pedestrian interaction by providing wide sidewalks, numerous gathering locations, interesting site furnishing, landscaping, and hardscapes. • Provide well-designed sidewalks and pedestrian connections to all buildings and locations. • Incorporate traffic calming into all pedestrian crossing locations. • Design, incorporate, and construct a comprehensive on-site system of trails, including: 1. A trail running west to east from Bluff Creek Boulevard through the upper portions of the woodlands continuing east along the southern border of the property, then turning north adjacent to Powers Boulevard. 2. An internal trail positioned north to south within the townhome neighborhood allowing residents to gain access as pedestrians to adjacent destinations.

Gardens are a great way to help keep residents active outdoors, creating community and encouraging longer-term residency. Every year Master Gardeners lead teams of volunteers in coordinating plantings while welcoming new homeowners into the community. PROJECT HIGHLIGHT In 2016, we partnered with 10 schools in both counties, bringing more than a thousand youth from pre-school to high school outdoors, connecting the environment and food production back to the classroom. We are very proud of our partnership at Bluff Creek Elementary in Chanhassen where, according to staff, "the kids had such a great time learning" about the world around them. We look forward to continuing to grow our school and other partnerships in the future.
