Petition requesting city council deny Boatworks’ application to exceed city’s maximum building height

Please keep the Wayzata shoreline and beach accessible to the public and do not spoil the view at or across the shoreline with a high-rise condo that benefits only a few. It's already hard enough to enjoy the lake without paying a premium at one of the expensive restaurants there. All other builders had to adhere to the code too.

Please - no more large buildings in Wayzata!

Do not spoil Wayzata’s shoreline and character. Enough building condos and empty retail spaces!

I am against the boat works project, enough is enough.

I was a long time property owner in the City of Wayzata, and still live within a 1/2 mile of the city limits. Please don't cave on these zoning laws to put more housing in Wayzata and take away from the public's opportunity to enjoy the lake! Amy Schuett

No

I have no problem with construction of a high end condo building but, the building codes established, and have been followed in the past should not be changed for this project. What is the point of spending the money, devastating the businesses along Wayzata Main Street to beautify the lake front and then build a way out of proportion building destroying what you have worked so hard to plan and construct.

Whose problem is it if he can’t make money unless he builds four stories?

The small beach and park adjacent to the boat works property are treasures to those of us who visit Wayzata. A building that exceeds current height restriction threatens these special public spaces.

Please do not allow this!!

Everything has a place, Lake Minnetonka is not it.

Opposed to the variance

My family heritage dates back to the late 1800's. My Great-Great-grandfather was the 1st mayor, and 1st blacksmith of Wayzata. This project would never have been planned/allowed under the guidelines of those days, or of the same guidelines of today. I am against this for the simple reason that it impedes those guidelines in place currently, and the corrupt-money-hungry city council wants MORE tax revenue! My family has original paintings, and pictures from the late 1800's/early 1900's of Wayzata and it was grand, yet beautiful! There's no reason to build something that large, blocking the lake view, that couldn't be scaled back, and still have an attractive appeal aesthetically. This is wrong on many levels, starting with the greedy city council! SAVE THE BOATWORKS!!!

Wayzata is being ruined by over development!

Long Lake

Please deny. This is not what what the citizens and patrons of Wayzata want for this community. Please put an end to Boatworks' multiple requests. Bottom line - "NO"!

Definitely no!! Save Wayzatas lakeshore!!

Absolutely oppose the Boatworks request!!!! An exception to existing code would seriously compromise the unique and historical culture of our very special city and establish a very dangerous precedent.
