Whatever your reason...

elcome to the 2011-2012 Chanhassen Resident’s Guide. This year marks the 20th anniversary of publishing these guides for the communities served by Southwest Newspapers. This Chanhassen Villager publication is a comprehensive directory of information and resources used by Chanhassen businesses and residents, especially those who are new to this area. The Resident’s Guide is a compilation of valuable information — a single source for lists of services, names, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. Keep it handy; use it often. Our apologies in advance for omissions or for changes that occur after publication. The challenge in publishing this Resident’s Guide is not only collecting accurate and important information, but keeping that information current in one of the Twin Cities’ fastest-growing areas. If you would like additional copies of this publication, call our Circulation Department at 952-345-6682. The Resident’s Guide is also available at www.chanvillager.com. For additional information or to submit corrections, send an e-mail to agentile@swpub. com or call 952-445-3333.

Chanhassen Resident’s Guide — September 2011

With a population of 22,952, Chanhassen offers the best of rural and suburban life — it’s a great place to live, work and play! Most of the city’s 14,427 acres are in Carver County, with 154 in Hennepin County. Five major highways traverse the community — including the new Highway 212 freeway — allowing residents and commuters to reach other metropolitan communities in minutes. Businesses include a variety of commercial and industrial companies. Office and warehouse buildings are located throughout the city. Since 1995, the city has added 2.5 million square feet of commercial/industrial space. The approximately 500 businesses employ more than 9,500 people. Two public school districts, Minnetonka and District 112, as well as private schools, serve the families in the community. Residents and students also welcomed the 2009 opening of Chanhassen High School, the second high school for District 112. There is much to do and enjoy in Chanhassen. The downtown area offers shopping, dining and entertainment — including the renowned Chanhassen Dinner Theatres — as well as a library and many service and retail businesses. For outdoor enthusiasts, Chanhassen has 11 lakes that offer recreation and relaxation to residents and visitors to the community. The city’s 500-acre park system features community and neighborhood parks, as well as 70 miles of trails and sidewalks for people of all ages. The park system also features five nature preserves. Additionally, the Chanhassen Senior Center is a social gathering spot for those over age 55.

Chanhassen Resident’s Guide — September 2011

The annual Fourth of July car show is always dazzling. Vintage collector cars, waxed and buffed to high sheen, draw oohs and aahs. And then there’s Mark Crichton of Eden Prairie and his black 1956 Thunderbird. He was appreciative of the comments and compliments. He got teary when he explained that the T-bird used to belong to his dad. “I got it in 2003, when he died,” Crichton said. “He loved this car, just loved it.”

Household Hazardous Waste

Electricity

Household hazardous waste must be disposed of properly to avoid endangering health and contaminating ground water. These wastes include: solvents, household cleaners, pesticides, paint, wood preservatives, aerosols, batteries, automotive oil and antifreeze. The best way to handle the waste – except those that are banned – is to use it or give it to someone who will. If these options are not available to you, please contact the county for collection information. Sellers of automotive products may take used automotive waste, perhaps for a fee. Check before bringing the waste in. The county also schedules periodic hazardous waste collection programs.

Chanhassen Parks

Residents take pride in the city park system, which has 34 community, neighborhood and open space locations with over 70 miles of trails. The City of Chanhassen’s plan is to provide a park within a half-mile of every resident’s front door. With the exception of some of Chanhassen’s more rural areas, this goal has been attained. Carver County operates the 350-acre Minnewashta Regional Park in western Chanhassen. On its southern border is the Minnesota River Valley Wildlife Refuge. The University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum borders Chanhassen to the west. Call Chanhassen Parks & Recreation at 952-227-1121 to make picnic reservations or to reserve a volleyball kit.

Concessions and boat rentals are available daily during the summer months from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. (weather permitting). It also has two picnic/recreation shelters, reservation picnic sites, tennis court, six ballfields, soccer field, canoe racks available for rent, volleyball, trails, boat access and a fishing pier.
