NO NO NO .It would be a travesty to add to the height on the lake front of Wayzata . What about any respect to people who live there and the other construction sights who have abided by the restrictions. Some respect please.

This Boatwork's application for zoning variance should be denied for all the good and serious reasons mentioned above and more....

My family built in the Highlands in 1950, and while my mother and father are no longer with us, both would be appalled that this project is even being proposed. The scale is simply not consistent with the neighborhood or the character of our city.

The City of Wayzata should not grant ANY variances with respect to the Boat Works property. We need to stick to the 35 foot maximum height and do all we can to preserve the character of our town. We drifted way too far with the Presbyterian Homes development. Let's hold the line.

As a resident I see no need for this type of variance.

I strongly object to the granting of a zoning variance for the Boatworks construction project.

This would be a disaster. It would stick out like a sore thumb!

No, residents and visitors to Wayzata should be able to enjoy seeing Lake Minnetonka. Already the lake view is blocked by a fence of arborvitae in Ferndale.
The placement & height of buildings and trees in a a city has huge significance.
Do we want to look like Miami?
A fourth attempt for the variance? It's a bit like a child who can't hear "no".

TOTALLY against any zoning variance for anything above 3 stories or 35' anywhere in Wayzata, including the Boatworks.

The City should stop wasting time with the applicant. The request for a height variance has been denied. End of discussion.

I am completely against building over the height allowed, as I have been for all prior attempts.

I agree with the petition's opposition to this project. In addition to all of the other arguments against the Boatworks proposal, the City should not condone such repeated efforts to circumvent the clear guidance of the maximum height restriction through the appearance of "compromise." This proposal should be rejected out of hand, just as it would have been if it were the initial proposal.
