As someone who has a dock on the lake <br />and also has great respect for the land around it I appreciate your feedback. I have shared with <br />our staff and mayor your email too. <br />Victoria <br />Sent from my iPhone <br />On Sep 9, 2019, at 12:45 PM, Bohn, Bonnie K wrote: <br />Victoria <br />We were just made aware today that the city council will be voting on changing <br />the lakeshore setback tonight. Because we are all stewards of this beautiful lake <br />and the setbacks impact all of us, we believe that this should be reviewed further <br />and publicly. At the very least, a notice should be mailed to all lakeshore home <br />owners. Upon reviewing the notes from the workshop, we noted that Matt <br />Johnson stated the setbacks should remain the same. We agree with that. If <br />some change should occur, we feel that homeowners need to have a clear <br />understanding of that change before it is voted on. We understand that dealing <br />with variance applications may seem to be redundant to the city council at times, <br />but we feel that changing the code could potentially cause more damage to the <br />lake and grant advantages to those building/remodeling over those homeowners <br />with older homes Please delay the vote until further public discussion can occur. <br /> We will try to attend the meeting tonight, but given the short notice, we may not <br />be able to attend. Thank you for your consideration and keep in mind that it is <br />extremely important to be a good steward of the beautiful treasure of Lake <br />Minnetonka. It is only ours for a short time, but the impact will be forever. <br />Bonnie Bohn <br />Sent from my Galaxy phone <br />*Wire Fraud is Real*.
