As we have informed <br />ear’h of them, we have no objections to the requests, and we wish to <br />convey that fact directly to you as well. <br />While certain of these cities may have submitted flexibility <br />requests somewhat broader than an ideal model might call for, it <br />appears to us that these same cities have made every effort to <br />constructively address the overall objectives of the proposed <br />regulations. Considerable time and effort have been expended by <br />them and their professional consultants. <br />We recognize that the actual state of existing development in a <br />number of Lake Minnetonka cities far exceeds that which would be <br />allowed under the model ordinance, v/e also recognize it is likely <br />inevitable that certain commercial or semi-conunercial activities <br />will require a continued high density of use under future <br />development and redevelopment. Given these facts, we believe you <br />should grant these requests, or agree to the substance of them. Of <br />course, we appreciate the need for your thorough review to <br />determine which can be modified, or in fact are purely peripheral <br />to the main problems of a particular city, before granting them. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ed Callahan <br />Mayor <br />EC/ch <br />IH.IJ-IOW' - 471-73r • M r34Hl»
