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.

3. A thoughtfully designed, formal access that welcomes pedestrians from the
intersection of Lyman and Powers Boulevard directly into the proposed development.
4. Completion of the emergency roadway connection with Miranda Way to be utilized
as a trail way except in the event that north/south emergency vehicle access is needed.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT
We have worked closely with Habitat for
Humanity in both Scott and Carver counties
over many years supervising landscape
plantings in new and rehabbed properties.
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.

and let us know how we can help
you succeed!
