In Chaska there is an average of <br /> eight cars at any one time. <br /> Miller states he understand the neighbors have a number of concerns about the project but in his view <br /> they do not relate to the garage but rather to the program itself. The City Council will be deciding <br /> whether this is an appropriate use for the structure. <br /> Marcus Blue,2160 Crystal Avenue,indicated he did not receive notice for any of the public hearings and <br /> was wondering why the neighbors were not given notice of this. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the City is required to notify neighbors within a 350-foot radius and that the certified <br /> list is provided by Hennepin County. The notice is published in several public places and on the City's <br /> web site. Schoenzeit stated based on the turnout at this meeting, some notice apparently was received by <br /> the neighborhood. <br /> Curtis stated the required notification is 350-feet from the property lines,and that the list contained in the <br /> packet has been provided by Hennepin County. <br /> Blue stated he does reside within the radius but he did not receive notice. <br /> A member of the audience stated he also is within the area and was not given notice. <br /> Curtis stated one of the notices did come back as being undeliverable. The City uses a certified list from <br /> Hennepin County. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the list does come from the Hennepin County tax data base and the City is not deciding <br /> who should and should not be notified. <br /> Blue stated even with Hill School,they experienced vehicles going at a rapid speed up and down Briar at <br /> all hours of the day. <br /> Schoenzeit stated there is no particular stop or start time for this facility and that the traffic will vary at <br /> different times of the day. <br /> Blue noted the street is very narrow in this area and that typically only one car can pass through at a time <br /> if there are cars parking on the street. Blue commented there is not much room for additional on street <br /> parking. <br /> Kristine Hempstock, 1295 Arbor Street, stated she also lives within a block of Hill School and they were <br /> not given any notification of the public hearing. Hempstock requested the residents be allowed some <br /> additional time to learn about the program. <br /> David Guess, 1260 French Creek Drive, stated the issue is not just about the garage and that a number of <br /> good points have been raised. If The Emily Program does enhance the neighborhood and does not create <br /> the issues the neighbors fear,there is always the issue of what will happen with the structure should The <br /> Page 6 <br />
