Item #01- Special Council Meeting - 01106114 <br />File #13-3638 & 13-3639 [Total Pages 99] <br />Mike Geffroln <br />From: George Daniels [dandan@boulderprop.comj <br />Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2013 11:17 AM <br />To: Mike Gaffron <br />Subject: RE: LAKEVIEW SITE PLAN <br />Thanks forgetting back to me. <br />It will be most interesting to see what this group comes up with. In the heart of Wayzata on Wayzata Boulevard we <br />have the Big Woods project. A group of citizens thought it should stay the Big Woods in perpetuity. They got the Land <br />Trust to tie in with it and then they were able to get the city to float a bond issue ... it passed. Now we have the Big <br />Woods that no one uses and most people don't know it's there. i am sure this group will go to the Land Trust who have <br />lots of attorneys and lots of people. They will then go to the Wenksterns to donate part of the property for future <br />good... perhaps their legacy ... then they ask the city to float a bond issue. Of course time and timing is everything and this <br />isn't the Big Woods. it is a wonderful piece of property that should be developed as a RPUD.... makes lots of sense. All of <br />the issues brought up by the other side will be addressed i.e. run off into lake Minnetonka, traffic, trails etc. by the <br />developer, as required. I'm assuming the developer was undeterred by the meeting and will keep moving forward. <br />Things change and while many of the people that got up say, we don't have any problems with Mr. Wenkstern selling, <br />they really do because underneath they think they have an entitlement to the property... not so! <br />I will keep coming! Good planning is good planning and that is what these people don't understand. <br />Please keep me informed as to what is going on. If the group comes up with the money ... their own money, their own <br />investors, I will be surprised. My sense is they will be back to the City of Orono... asking! 1 <br />Best Regards, <br />George Daniels <br />21 <br />Powered by CardScan <br />From: Mike Gaffronfmailto:MGaffron@ci.orono.mn.usj <br />Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2013 10:01 AM <br />To:'George Daniels' <br />Subject: RE: LAKEVIEW SITE PLAN <br />
