Re: 905 -915 Yankee Doodle Road
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
We are writing to follow -up on the input Faithful Shepherd Catholic School recently provided in
connection with the above- referenced matter.
We acknowledge that the timing of the questions and input we raised was Tess than ideal, and wish to
convey our regret for the lateness of our involvement. We take our role as a member of the Eagan civic
community very seriously and appreciate the privilege and responsibility of participating in the
deliberative process that supports consideration of these types of proposals. We seek to be
constructive participants in that process, and strive to ensure that the voice of the school is at the table
in healthy dialogue with the voices of our neighbors and other community members. We regret the
lateness of our coming to the table in this instance.
After watching the Council meeting webcast, we now understand that the expected traffic pattern is
different than what was laid out in the documents we received. It appears there was some confusion at
the Council meeting concerning the flow of traffic and the use of Columbia Drive, and that a letter
clarifying the proposed traffic flow will be provided. We anticipate that confirmation of the traffic flow
discussed at the meeting will address the questions we had raised concerning use of Columbia Drive.
We look forward to our new neighbors, Alan Richey, Inc. and the upgrades being made to both
properties. We all benefit from bringing new business to Eagan.
We look forward to continuing to work with the Mayor, Council, and other interested parties in this
matter, and in other matters that enhance our community.
God'' q€
