_ �,, <br />" h ,t7. <br />t� <br />Wayzata Lake Effect - Lakefront <br />Planning Initiative <br />Wayzata, MN <br />Wayzata's downtown embraces one of Minnesota's great- <br />est assets, Lake Minnetonka, providing a unique lakefront <br />experience for residents and visitors alike. <br />In 2012, the City of Wayzata sought to engage as many <br />people from the community as possible to develop a <br />10 -year plan for their beloved lakefront. Saint Paul River - <br />front Corporation (SPRC), teamed with SRF, led an intensive <br />16 -month community engagement process which included <br />special events, small group sessions, community -led com- <br />mittees, interviews, surveys, community design workshops, <br />and online surveys. More than 600 ideas from residents, <br />businesses, and community members were compiled. <br />PRThrough the engagement process, a set of core values that <br />reflected the community's aspirations for the future of the <br />lakefront emerged. These values became the framework <br />to evaluate project ideas and to guide the vision for the <br />lakefront. <br />M <br />t <br />1; <br />SRF facilitated design workshops with SPRC and City staff <br />to create a methodology to prioritize community input and <br />produce three concepts that provided a phased implemen- <br />tation approach for the lakefront. <br />The final lakefront plan aimed to balance the desire to pro- <br />mote the lakefront community through year-round attrac- <br />tions to draw more visitors into town for a robust, vibrant <br />downtown core, while honoring the small-town character <br />and charm of Wayzata. <br />SRF worked with SPRC and the City of Wayzata to identify <br />key projects and provide preliminary cost estimates for <br />near-term implementation. <br />Navarre Area Plan I City of Orono <br />
