WAYZATA <br />COMMUNITY <br />CHURCH <br />Wayzata City Council <br />CityHaU <br />Wayzata, MN 55391 <br />12SEASTWAVIA A BOUlEVAHO VVAYZATA MINNESOTA 553S1 <br />473 §§77 <br />March 20,1996 <br />Dear Council Members: <br />Please accept this lener from me representing the Wayzata Community Church. lam <br />currently the Moderator of the church which among other things means I am Chairman of <br />the Church Council. <br />The purpose of this lener is to state our Church Council’s opposition to the proposed <br />entrance and exit ramps to and from present Highway 394 Two ot our church members <br />attended an informational meeting at Redeemer Lutheran Church last week at which a <br />representative from MnDoi discussed the alternative plans they have for upgrading and/or <br />expanding 394 to the west. We have the sketches that were distributed at that meeting. <br />Our opposition is for at least two reasons First, the plans indicate a taking of either <br />Redeemer property involving their parking lot or a taking of certain Wayata Community <br />Church propertv We cannot and do not want to give up any property as we are already <br />cramped both for parking and for future building needs. Fortunately, as you know, we <br />have a long term lease viith the school system to use some of their property for parking. <br />As our church cows, and it is growing dramatically, we will be needing facilities, <br />primarily for school rooms and~meeting rooms. We cannot give up any land that we wiU <br />need in the future. <br />The second reason we are opposed is the significant increase in traffic that would be <br />generated by an interchange. Femdale is predominately residential in nature. We not only <br />already find it difficult with the growth of our church to use the existing roads, but we <br />have concerns regarding the increased traffic around the area's schools. <br />We have been and intend to be good citizens as it relates to our involvement in the <br />community The City Council has been very good to work with which we very much <br />appreciate But we are verv concerned about the proposal(s) that are under consideration <br />and felt it necessary to come fonh with our strong opposition to the proposals. If we can <br />be of any service to you in this matter regarding further information, please do not hesitate <br />to call. We appreciate you attention to this matter. <br />Sincerelv, <br />/ <br />Kathy Smim. Moderator <br />Wayzata Community Church <br />V ✓ «v' j <br />1“1- -*-1 t ^ - ' — IP T
