National Public Works WeekLast week was Public Works Week! Please help us thank the individuals who work diligently behind the scenes to keep our roads, water systems, and public facilities running smoothly! Your efforts often go unnoticed, but they are truly indispensable. In Wayzata's Quality of Life Survey, when residents were asked about street sweeping, maintenance, plowing and repair, residents gave above 90% positive ratings across the board with an average of 96% positive ratings. This average is much higher than the norm in Metropolitan Area suburbs!

200 Lake St/TCF Building Redevelopment Applicant Lake West Development has submitted a new application to redevelop the property at 200 Lake St, otherwise known as the former TCF building. The proposed project would include a single mixed-use building with 30 residential units, 28,240 sq. ft. of ground-floor commercial space, and underground parking. A neighborhood meeting was held by the applicant on Monday, April 24 from 5:15 to 6:15 at City Hall. The Planning Commission recommended denial of the application at their May 1 meeting. The City Council will consider the application at their June 6 meeting. 900 Wayzata Blvd/Wells Fargo Building Redevelopment Design Deviations Applicant Mithun Enterprises has applied for deviations from the City’s Design Standards for the redevelopment project at 900 Wayzata Blvd approved in 2022. The deviations are for proposed rooftop mechanical equipment on the roofs of the previously approved bank and office buildings. The City Council approved the application at their May 16 meeting. The existing Wells Fargo building will be removed and replaced with a smaller standalone Wells Fargo bank and two-story office building in the first phase and then ultimately an apartment building. The City Council approved this proposal last year. Construction is anticipated to begin in June. Solar Panels on City Buildings Conditional Use Permit The Wayzata City Council considered a development application from the applicant, City of Wayzata, to install rooftop solar systems at Wayzata City Hall, Fire Station, and Library at 600 Rice Street East and the Municipal Bar & Grill, Wine & Spirits at 747 Mill Street East. The request was for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) at each property for rooftop solar. The Council approved the CUP for 600 Rice St E, but requested additional information on the CUP for 747 Mill St E which will go back to Council for further review at a later date. Tree Preservation Ordinance UpdateThe City of Wayzata applied for Zoning Text Amendments to Chapter 936 - Tree Preservation and Chapter 918 - Fencing/Screening. In October 2022, the City adopted amendments to Chapters 519, 710, and 936 of the Zoning Ordinance to help ensure the protection, preservation, and enhancement of the City’s trees. Through the implementation and enforcement of the new amendments, staff has discovered that additional updates are needed to help with the implementation and enforcement of the Tree Preservation Ordinance, Chapter 936, as intended. The Ordinance was approved by the City Council at the May 16 meeting.
