Neighbors Against The Expansion Of Pioneer Cemetery By The City Of Chanhassen (case #2013-24)

AGAINST the expansion of the cemetery!

Moved into Lukewood Dr and against the expansion of the cemetery (part of the reason is that there is no parking for the current visitors to the cemetery, the other is how the expansion will impact the look of Lukewood)

do not want this to pass.

I vote AGAINST the cemetery expansion. We like the quaint look of the cemetery as it is now.

We moved in on Lukewood Drive across from the cemetery. Cars park in front of our house due to the lack of parking for cemetery access. I am against the expansion of the cemetery due to the lack of parking, removal of trees and barriers that block my view of the cemetery from my front yard. My fear is that the expansion of this cemetery will turn it from a quaint, historical landmark into an eyesore. Thank you.

I would'nt want to visit someone at a graveyard in someone's back yard, where they are mowing a lawn. It just seems wrong. I dont like it !

i do not want a graveyard border my home

I oppose this proposal as it negatively affects an historic site. It also benefits very few residents while negatively impacting many neighborhoods.

Adding 324 sites doesn't really address the problem. If anything is done, it should be to plot a new cemetery that can handle thousands.

If the city believes it is their responsibilty to provide space for people who wish to be buried, then they should look at other property sized appropriately enough to handle an even larger set so that neighboring residents aren't negatively impacted.

The cemetery was granted to the city to be maintained, not to be expanded.

I view the Pioneer Cemetery as a historical city park. I don't believe it should be expanded. Historic sites are meant to be maintained in their original design.

I oppose this proposal!

The city shouldn't be involved in any attempt at a revenue based business. More grave sites will increase the cost of long-term maintenance. What makes it quaint is the natural setting. By destroying the natural setting you ruining the very reason why so many who were buried there chose it to begin with.

I oppose this expansion as it would diminish the quaintness of the cemetery and the privacy of the surrounding neighborhoods.

We love the rural feel of our neighborhood. The wooded area in question needs to remain. Spend funds thinking out of the box for a new solution rather than same old.

I am a home owner in the adjacent neighborhood and oppose this project. It wastes taxpayer money and destroys the rural feel of our neighborhood.

This will harm the attractiveness of both our neighborhood and the cemetery

Don not waste more tax dollars

I am a neighbor within 500 feet, and I oppose this unneeded expansion.
