o Protect public safety. <br />o Assure protection of the lake from detrimental effects of <br />human activities and certain natural processes. <br />While these are the specific goals of the LMCD Plan, the City of <br />Wayzata also shares these same goals for Lake Minnetonka and the <br />City itself. The City has exercised actions to achieve these <br />goals through the recent development of its Storm Water <br />Management Plan and its strict enforcement of its shoreland and <br />wetlands oL’inances. <br />The LMCD Plan consists of six basic chapters: Recreation <br />Management, User Experience and Satisfaction, Shoreland <br />Protection, Environmental Protection, Management Structure, and <br />Implementation. In our review of this detailed text, it has been <br />found the majority of regulatory, assistance, .lanagement, and <br />implementation techniques and controls are in the best interest <br />of the various Lake Minnetonka communities including Wayzata. <br />There are, however, certain elements of the LMCD Plan that may <br />present problems for Wayzata due to the City's unique existing <br />djjvelopment pattern and established construction within the <br />Shoreland District and throughout the community as a whole. In <br />general, the LMCD P.lan fails to give proper recognition to the <br />long standing and historic Wayzata Central Business District. <br />Being situated directly along the shoreline, it is feJt the <br />Wayzata CBD (and other existing urban centers) deserves separate <br />treatment from areas of the shoreland that have been developed at <br />much lower densities or haven't been developed at all. <br />In the following sections of this report, the six chapters of the <br />LMCD Plan are individually reviewed. A brief sununary of the <br />chapter content is given along with specific provisions that are <br />found to be in question with regards to their application to <br />Wayzata. <br />RECREATION MANAGEMENT <br />The first chapter of the LMCD Plan is to guide and regulate the <br />use of and access to Lake Minnetonka. The LMCD Plan presents a <br />basic conceptual framework of progressively more restrictive lake <br />access and use controls as boat density on the lake increases. <br />Within this framework, the LMCD Plan proposes the following <br />recreation management strategies: <br />1. Continue present regulatory practices. <br />2. Impose increasingly restrictive regulations as boat density <br />increases on the lake. <br />3. Improve regulatory tools
