As part of the public hearing, we are herewith submitting a formal position paper which is attached and which was approved by the Planning Commission on 4 June 1990 and by the City Council at a workshop session held on 5 June 1990. In summary the City of Wayzata's position is that there is agreement with the objectives to improve the lake and its adjacent shorelands. There is, however, great concern with the program's lack of attention to detail and specifics as it addresses land use in the shoreland areas. If this "program" is to be of benefit and an effective tool, it must specifically address the "exceptions" which are lightly recognized as needed for established, high intensity urban centers such as the Wayzata downtown. In this regard, if the present draft document is intended to be representative of a nearly completed effort, it falls far short of requirements and is not viewed by the City of Wayzata as acceptable. On the other hand, if the present draft document is to serve as a means to stimulate discussion and thus to direct extensive, continuing work towards a precise resolution of issues in a plan as contracted to an ordinance or regulatory format, the City of Wayzata does not have as strong a concern. If this latter situation is in fact the case, our community expects that we will be consulted on a much more direct basis to resolve issues and coordinate acceptable approaches.
