| | | | | | | | | DISCUSSION |
The Chanhassen Rotary Club and the City of Chanhassen have partnered for the last couple of years on an annual spring planting project along Highway 101. Previous project sites have been within Carver County right-of-way along 101. This year’s planting site will be at the northwest intersection of Highway 101 and Lyman Boulevard. The right-of-way is under the jurisdiction of MnDOT. Because of that, it is necessary for the City to apply for approval to plant within the right-of-way and enter into a Cooperative Agreement if approved. The cost of past years’ projects have been shared between the city and the Rotary and the same agreement will be in effect this year. The city is not requesting any assistance from the state, just permission to plant within the right-of-way. |
