<br /> Dave Pokorney, Chaska's city ac

<br /> IiI can create opportunities for people t
<br /> feel a sense of community,"he said.
<br /> IAlthough the Carver County city h:
<br /> grown rapidly in recent years,Poko
<br /> ney said new residents still tell n
<br /> searchers they were attracted t
<br /> Chaska because of its small-town a
<br /> mosphere. "If that's the reason per
<br /> ple are living here, then we'd beth
<br /> do something to maintain it,' I
<br /> said. "The sense of community ar.
<br /> 1 community identity is part of that."
<br />_ ID I To that end, the city built a S9 mi
<br /> lion community center in 1990.
<br /> I includes the usual amenities —
<br /> recreation center with gyms, a sky
<br /> I ing rink, a pool — and there a
<br /> plans for an auditorium.
