Printup Cc: dmarkhector@gmail.com Subject: Lakeshore Setback changes Aaron, We were just made aware today that the city council will be voting on changing the lakeshore setback tonight. Because we are all stewards of this beautiful lake and the setbacks impact all of us, we believe that this should be reviewed further and publicly. At the very least, a notice should be mailed to all lakeshore home owners. Upon reviewing the notes from the workshop, we noted that Matt Johnson stated the setbacks should remain the same. We agree with that. If some change should occur, we feel that homeowners need to have a clear understanding of that change before it is voted on. We understand that dealing with variance applications may seem to be redundant to the city council at times, but we feel that changing the code could potentially cause more damage to the lake and grant advantages to those building/remodeling over those homeowners with older homes Please delay the vote until further public discussion can occur. We will try to attend the meeting tonight, but given the short notice, we may not be able to attend. Thank you for your consideration and keep in mind that it is extremely important to be a good steward of the beautiful treasure of Lake Minnetonka. It is only ours for a short time, but the impact will be forever. Bonnie Bohn Sent from my Galaxy phone *Wire Fraud is Real*.
