From:Hunter Wright <br />To:Melanie Curtis <br />Cc:Adam Wright <br />Subject:April 21 Planning Commission review of LA25-000010, Ashley Mehbod <br />Date:Saturday, April 19, 2025 7:57:46 AM <br />April 19, 2025 <br />To: Melanie Curtis, Planner <br />Re: April 21, 2025, 2625 North Shore Drive, Lake Setback and Hardcover <br />Variances (Melanie Curtis) <br />Dear Melanie, <br />We are unable to attend the Planning Commission meeting on Monday <br />April 21st but we have reviewed the Mehbod’s proposed plans and are <br />writing in full support of their request. <br />We believe the Mehbod’s plans improve the livability of the home while <br />respecting the spirit of the regulations and honoring the history of the 100 <br />year+ home. <br />As neighbors who also live in and love our 100+ year house (2485 North <br />Shore Drive), we recognize certain limitations of homes of this era <br />vs.modern living, and are very appreciative of the care and thoughtful <br />design the Mehbod’s are proposing for their project to improve the home’s <br />functionality while respecting its historic character. I (Hunter Wright), have <br />a masters degree in historic preservation (M.S.Historic Preservation, <br />Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and <br />Preservation) and fully believe this proposal aligns beautifully with the <br />goals of living in and maintaining a historic home and lakeshore. <br />While we can't be there on Monday, we thank you for your service and <br />hope you will share our support with the committee. <br />Thank you, <br />Hunter and Adam Wright <br />2485 North Shore Drive <br />Wayzata, Mn 55391 <br />(763)-442-3441
