THE <br />LEGACY <br />Givinjc Tint Luke MinnifionlcM Art.*ai <br />Tk U^aiy Fomkim <br />BACKGROUND <br />The history of the Lake Minnetonka area is one of small <br />communities that jjrew and were engulfed by the Twin <br />Cities metropolitan area. There are multiple political <br />boundaries, many of which are overlapping and very <br />specific in nature. The result is tlut there is no natural <br />constituency for the area's assets in total. We believe the <br />time has come for an organization to look at the big <br />picture, promote bold ideas and help guide them to <br />completion. The Legacy Foundation was formed as a <br />means to help accomplish this objective. <br />VISION <br />By 2010 create a genuine Lake Minnetonka community <br />where ItKal jurisdictions and residents routinely work <br />together to develoj>, re*develop and improve the Lake <br />area's assets. <br />MISSION <br />Adopt significant lake area projects that enhance its <br />livability by providing the leadership, vision and ability to <br />marshal the diverse resources available. In addition, <br />coordinate the necessary inter-jurisdictional approvals and <br />supiHirt that are necessary for successful completion of <br />each endeavor. <br />A LEGACY FOUNDATION <br />ENDEAVOR <br />We have created a cliallenge for the Foundation. One that <br />is for the benefit of every person in every community that <br />makes up the immediate Lake Minnetonka Area, lhat <br />challenge, is to make sure that every endeavor we create, is <br />consistent with the heritage of this wonderful area, will <br />further the preservation of the assets the area has to offer, <br />will, in some way, benefit every resident and visitor the <br />area embraces and in every way be aesthetically pleasing, <br />environmentally correct, an unequivocal improvement to <br />the area and be done within a carefully managed budget.
