1 CBW OF QRQNO CITY Post Office Box 6G«Crystal Bay. Mi On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka -3 February 23, 1989 Carol Sattervall Edina Realty 1120 East Way72ca Boulevard Wayzata, MN 5S391 Dear Ms. Sattervall, Thank you for your letter that we received on February 13, 1989. As a City we empathize with you as to the frustration and experience of the property owner at 725 Dickey Lake Drive. The City is currently working on zoning amendments to give the City the greatest amount of control in the development of property in the Highway 12 corridor and still allow a reasonable use of that property. Th®se significant: zoning amendments are not easily adopted and the Council anJ Ss.aff are continuing to work to develop an acceptable format cor development throughout the Highway 12 corridor. Once this format is finalized however, development will then depend on the ability of the developer and the City to come to a common understanding of the development on the property, it is our understanding, however, that even the initial proposal for Otten Brothers will not utilize the entire acreage t.iat he is purchasing and future development of that may also have on the built environment in which the house at 725 Dickey Lake would exist. It is the intent of the Comprehensive Plan to provide reasonable buffering of the uses between the single family residential and the development to the south. However, the extent of that buffering is to some degree in the ayes of the beholder”. Council and staff will continue to work to provide the ordinance basis in which a development of the property can be brought in, however, shortcuts on the front end of this process may actually be detrimental to the eventual control of the development south of this property.
