Park and Recreation Commission, March 6, 1969
-2-
WESTERN HILLS: Everyone on the Park and Recreation Commission .j,
was in favor of the Western Hills plan - typical comments are ~'
as follows:
Laudatory comment for the careful consideration of landscape
and open space incorporated within the Hansen & Klingelhut~ .
Western Hills plat design. We feel that considering dedicat.ed~'
open space first before designing a plat is the only sensible . ',';
approach toward urban and park planning.
The Park and Recreation would like to commend Hansen & Klingelhutz
for their approach in planning the Western Hills Addition and
their generous contribution to the overall Park and Recreation.
plan of the Village of Chanhassen. Through their ingenious method
of plat arrangement they have been able to provide more open
spaces for the inhabitants without incurring a cloistered
atmosphere. The approach of using a landscape architect to do
preliminary planning is certainly an enlightening change from
the normal exploitation approach.
Herv Eisel will acquire a copy of lOA Plan for Recreational Trails
In the Minnesota River Valley" from Mr. Ryberg for the Park and
Recreation Commission.
SENIOR CITIZENS; A motion'was made by Sally deLancey and seconged
by Harvey Will that Marietta Littfin order a timer for the Senior
