This Week: Open House Begins to Explore Wayzata's Potential Lakefront Scenarios

Midway through the 16-month planning initiative, hundreds of community-generated ideas are being considered as potential options to address the community’s priorities for Wayzata's lakefront. 

Some of the preliminary scenarios being explored will be on display this week during an Aug. 13 open house from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Wayzata City Hall. A short program will take place at 7 p.m.

Anyone who lives, works or loves Wayzata are invited to attend the Aug. 13 open house to see how these ideas are beginning to be translated into preliminary design concepts and recommendations. This open forum will provide the chance to see the work in progress and to have a dialogue on these aspirations and ideas that will eventually become the framework for lakefront.

Lakefront Planning Initiative

The City of Wayzata has set out to create a community-embraced vision for one of the city's most important and enduring assets—its relationship to Lake Minnetonka. This 16-month process is broken down into three phases. The first phase took place from September 2012 though January 2013. 

Input was gathered through a variety of activities such as special events, small group sessions, community-led committees, interviews, surveys and online forums. The responses were compiled and used to create a set of value statements that reflect the community's aspirations for the future of the lakefront. 

These values will become the framework to evaluate project ideas and to guide future development.

During Phase II, which takes place from May through September 2013, a series of activities including workshops, online forum, and open house will help to translate the community values into specific project ideas and design concepts to create a development framework for Wayzata.
