This space needs to a Park...for generations to enjoy! The city of Hopkins should buy this land and then designate a Park space. Keep some of the old,open space as you turn down main street in Hopkins from Shady Oak Road.

I live across the pond. I, like most, endured the never ending Shady Oak project. I was also upset at the loss of all of the oak trees, which kept me from looking at the road and area of the proposed housing project. Though I agree something needs to be done, this is definitely not the answer for our neighborhood or community.

This proposal is too large for the area. And the traffic for any new development on this site needs to go through the stop light, not directly onto Oak Drive Lane to avoid traffic congestion.

No! We choose to live here because of the lower density and the quiet natural areas. Shady Oak is already heavily populated with masses of quadplexes and other businesses. Please do not ruin the area by oversaturing it.

This will negatively impact the single family homes in the surounding area. Traffic, noise and light pollution as well as a lack of a play space for kids are my main concerns. The building of high density housing is unnecessary as there is so much already within a few blocks of the Hopkins border.

Drive this stretch of road and decide for yourself if a 3story structure belongs here. Drive anywhere in downtown Hopkins/Minnetonka border and put yourself in the shoes of a homeowner that would be affected by this proposed project. You'll lose a lot of the DNA that contributes to this beautiful neighborhood.

Minnetonka City Council: Vote NO on this proposed apartment building. PLEASE!

This is a neighborhood of small single family homes. This apartment building does not fit the rest of the neighborhood.
