Master Plan Summary
Happy in our Mutual Help: Working toward a Neighborhood Master Plan
Wayzata Yacht Club Wayzata Community Sailing Center
Over the last 18 months, Wayzata Yacht Club has worked with the City of Wayzata and the communities surrounding
our club, to try to create a Master Plan that will allow for better controlled zoning in our communities.
Currently, the WYC clubhouse, our East Parking Lot, and the Community Sailing Center property operate under
Conditional Use Permits (CUP). The portion of the WYC property from the boat ramp to the Sailing Center (the West
Parking lot) does not operate under a conditional use permit (CUP) and instead operates as a grandfathered, permitted
use property.
This inconsistency of zoning for multiple properties has led to inconsistent development and some confusion within the
community. What has caused the most uncertainty is the grandfathered, permitted use, status of the Western WYC
property (the West Lot.) This legal entitlement (grandfathered, permitted use) has created uncertainty in the city and
community as they have little say in how this property is used.
The western WYC property has operated as a marine facility for well over 150 years in many different forms that have
included a large steamship landing, repair and storage marina, a boat factory, a dance hall, recreational slip rentals after
WWII, and as part of WYC since the early 1980's.
It is difficult to adequately express the enormous value of being able to operate the western WYC property as a
permitted use property. This property right has allowed the sailing community to adapt and develop programs and
resources in accordance with constantly changing and difficult-to-predict market. The result has been the continuation
and advancement of a strong sailing tradition on Lake Minnetonka which has such a rich history of sailing.
Many people would say that as long as laws are obeyed, you should be allowed to use your property as you see fit. The
sailing community has long operated under this philosophy which is a cornerstone of traditional American rights. At the
same time, we in the sailing community realize that we are part of the larger community: we are now considered an
important lake access point as what is essentially an un-funded public resource, and a significant economic engine in
our community.
WHAT IS A MASTER PLAN?
A Community Master Plan is essentially a custom-designed set of zoning regulations for a neighborhood.
WHAT SHOULD OUR MASTER PLAN DO?
Our objective is to collaboratively build a Master Plan for our sailing-related properties and public right-of-way which
allows some of the external control of a traditional CUP, yet respects our existing property rights so we can respond to
the changing needs of recreational water sport enthusiasts.
This is the sailing community's second attempt at a Master Plan. The first (unsuccessful) attempt began 10 years ago.
This second attempt sought (and received) significantly more community engagement: over 50 private neighborhood
Attachment A
interviews, a large community planning weekend, meetings with Wayzata city staff, and countless additional meetings
and conversations with community leaders and neighbors.
Based on our discussions with community stakeholders, we believe our Master Plan needs to lay out assurances of
consistent communication and reasonable accommodation between individuals and groups in our community.
Community Benefits
Predictability: a clear sense about future development of our sailing-related properties
Operational standards specifically tailored to community expectations
City and neighbors can provide input over significant changes to the property or operations.
Entitlements such as sight line preservation, noise and congestion requirements.
Sailing Community Benefits
Operational standards specifically tailored to marina/club facilities.
Ability to manage our programs and accommodate future change.
More cordiality from the neighborhood and city toward the sailing community.
KEY MASTER PLAN CATEGORIES
Key Master Plan issues fall into three basic categories.
Parking Resources
Land Amenities
Marina
Input from the community and government resources identified changes and improvements in each category which
could be addressed in a Master Plan.
PARKING RESOURCES
Hennepin County’s proposed changes to Eastman Lane and Bushaway Road have created uncertainty about parking
resources in the area: a Community Master Plan can provide a well defined directive regarding what the community as
a whole considers acceptable or unacceptable should any road redesigns be forced upon the community my Hennepin
County.
Community Benefits
Assurances of adequate non-residential (area?)parking for peak use events
Assurances of lake views
Assurances of designated screening
Assurances of club policies that restrict parking in neighborhoods
Assurance of organized parking for emergency vehicle access (and appearance???)
Improved water quality filtration measures (measurements or actual implements?)
Additional street parking for ramp-trailer users on WYC owned land (? Parking on the land?)
Attachment A
Assurance of continued space for ramp parking
Assurance of environmentally sensitive parking ground cover in favor of (rather than?) paved blacktop
Parking to slip ration double the city standard and three times more strict than lake standards
Sailing community support for posted no-car/trailer parking in neighborhoods
Sailing Community Benefits
Maximize and formalize on-site parking
Limited use of ramp parking area during non-peak ramp hours
Allow for better organized parking and fire lanes
Safer traffic flow for WCSC student pick-up and drop-off
LAND AMENITY RESOURCES
“Land Amenities” refers to shore side operations and facilities, exclusive of parking.
Assurances from Sailing Community to Neighborhood/City
Assured restriction of potential activities, including but not limited to, fuel, alcohol, bait, or commercial boat
sales
No seasonal boat storage on the west property (winter boat storage is currently allowed , but not used)
Formalized noise policies
Visual screening
Lake view protection
Predictability of future building plans
Space for a walking path and bike paths
Assurances from Neighborhood/ City to Sailing Community
Predictability of future building plans
Ground level addition to the yacht club building
Storage shed on east parking property
Improved storage on west WYC property
New building for WCSC
Ability to store committee boats on property in visually shielded areas
MARINA RESOURCES
Marina Resources refers to lake side operations.
Community Benefits
Restricted future growth
Formalized regulations ensuring priority to racing sailboats*
Assurance of not-for-profit or charitable not-for-profit activities
Attachment A
Sailing Community Benefits
Consolidation of LMCD zoning “sites” to allow for better storage of WCSC small boats
Select docks that meet Americans with Disability Act (ADA) requirements which are too wide for LMCD
regulations.
Additional six slips, bringing all facilities to a total of 189, from 183, for an estimated potential of 201 water
slips.
Formalization of 12 slides for storage of youth boats (already in use by provisional LMCD permission)
Improved landing facility for small boats
The only variance to LMCD regulations in these proposed change is the 18” dock width to accommodate the
landing of youth boats and ADA requirements
Some discussion has revolved around the issue of mooring for non-racing motorized boats. We believe the following
constructs frame this issue.
The sailing community, neighborhood, and city have all expressed a desire to preserve a sailing oriented facility
Motorized boats, beginning with steamships, have been moored in this area for over a century.
A WYC policy dating back 30 years already provides priority to racing sailboats. These policies have served our
community well by allowing the flexibility to maintain cash flow when water levels, the slow pace of fleet
development or other changes might otherwise leave slips empty and the club financially vulnerable.
As recently as the late 1980's during low water years, the WYC marina was over 70% power boats. No
community concerns were raised at that time regarding powerboats, and powerboats were gradually
eliminated without outside intervention or comment.
Other marinas on Lake Minnetonka with zoned powerboat restrictions have suffered continual problems with
financial viability.
WYC interviews with the neighbors identified concern regarding powerboats in the area, but they did not
identify any negative impingement to the neighborhood.
Powerboats reduce the peak demand crowding at the marinas on race nights, which create the greatest
neighborhood impingement.
An approved Master Plan will formalize sailboat priority policies, providing predictability for our community and
ensuring continued sailing activity in our neighborhood.
CONCLUSION
The City of Wayzata approval process is the final step needed to complete this master plan. The community
engagement process we have facilitated over the past year has been intended to identify the best balance of
community needs. While not all needs can be met, we feel this Master Plan will substantially move our community
toward a more cooperative and productive future. We hope that you will voice your support for this plan.

Master Plan Narrative:
This narrative has been prepared by Midwest Planning & Design, LLC (MPD)
on behalf of the Wayzata Yacht Club and Wayzata Community Sailing Center
(Wayzata Sailing Foundation) for the purpose of applying for a City of Wayzata
comprehensive plan amendment, zoning ordinance amendment and Shore
Land Conditional Use Permit.
Although Wayzata Yacht Club and Wayzata Community Sailing Center
(Wayzata Sailing Foundation), are the applicants, this plan is the result of a
cooperative effort by the charrette participants listed at the end of this narrative.
It is their plan developed through very intense cooperative effort.
The Charrette:
A charrette is an intense participatory workshop based on the principles of
teamwork, civic engagement, trust, and above all optimism. The June 18 and
19 Charrette’s mission was to: “bring together community and neighborhood
leaders; the leaders of the Wayzata Yacht Club and Wayzata Community
Wayzata Community Sailing Center along with key City, Lake Minnetonka
Conservation District, Minnesota DNR and Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District leaders and technical and design experts to create a Master Plan for
the Wayzata Yacht Club, Wayzata Community Sailing Center and surrounding
streets that:
Resolves existing issues;
Protects and enhances the Lake, Neighborhood; Wayzata Yacht
Club and Wayzata Community Sailing Center as community
assets;
Creates a balance of neighborhood and community needs with
those of the Wayzata Yacht Club and Wayzata Community
Sailing Center so that all exist in harmony”
Charrette Preparation:
Research and Publications:
In the summer of 2009, MPD conducted forty-two (42) confidential interviews of
all then members of the City Council, Planning Commission; key City: LMCD
and watershed district and DNR staff along with Wayzata Yacht Club
members, Wayzata Community Sailing Center members and a large number of
neighbors. The interviews accomplished the purpose of identifying the issues
and opportunities that needed to be addressed in the charrette and providing
insights as to the possible points of conflict that needed to be addressed. The
interviews identified growth and parking as major concern. MPD also, with the
help of a number of public officials and others, completed a records search of
the Wayzata Yacht Club, City, LMCD, Watershed District and historical society
records related to the property and the neighborhood. To further understand
the primary issues, a parking study, and cultural resource analysis were
conducted and other existing data was analyzed related to growth history,
membership trends, and dock regulations and use. We also gathered data on
3
Attachment A
programs and natural resource data on the lake, topography, trees and
wetlands. A summary and analysis of the interviews and the research is
contained in the attached Stakeholders Briefing Hand Book: Wayzata Yacht
Club & Wayzata Community Wayzata Community Sailing Center May 2010.
Other documents attached to this narrative include: the Cultural Resource
Survey, Wetland Survey, Surveys and a Tree Inventory.

green parking lots.
Chapter Five (available in power point at the charrette): Context pictures
of the Wayzata Yacht Club, Wayzata Community Sailing Center,
Arlington Circle and Eastman Lane.
Charrette Steering Committee:
Formal charrette preparation started in February 2010 with the first of 3
steering committee meetings. The committee was made up of the following:
4
Attachment A
neighbors Katie Bassett, Paul Penningroth and Ann Markus (Ann was
able to attend one of the meetings and Katie two of the meetings),
City officials: Thomas Tanner and Bryan Gadow;
Wayzata Yacht Club members: Dallas Johnson and Bert Foster, and
Wayzata Community Sailing Center board members: Dr. Ross Siemers
and Howard Nordeen.
The committee reviewed information to be used at the charrette, organized the
charrette and made a number of key decisions on who to invite as
stakeholders, how to make the charrette open to all interested people and who
should facilitate the charrette. They also formulated the draft mission statement
and draft vision statement which was reviewed, changed and approved by the
charrette participants during the charrette.
Charrette organization:
The Steering Committee invited key stakeholders, but also made the
charrette open by inviting all the neighbors in the area, all City Council
members and Planning Commissioner. A list of invited neighbors and
others is attached. The committee organized the charrette into three
detail stages: information gathering, small group work stations and over
all participation, with an expected product. In addition areas were set
aside for individuals or small groups to work on specific issues. The
Work Stations, organized to address specific areas of concern or
geographical areas, consisted of the following:

Post Charrette: turning the charrette plans into this submittal
The charrette resulted in the following:
Vision Statement
Master Plan for the for the Wayzata Community Sailing Center and
Wayzata Yacht Club property and surrounding streets,
Wayzata Community Sailing Center and Wayzata Yacht Club general
operating policies,
Agreement to establish an advisory committee, which was later defined as
two neighbors from the Old Holdridge neighborhood, one neighbor from the
Shady Lane neighborhood, one neighbor from the Bushaway
neighborhood, City staff member to be appointed by the City manager, and
Wayzata’s LMCD Board member.
Agreement on how government applications and issues would be
processed, which was later refined to be: Issues of substance that would
affect the City, neighborhood, Wayzata Yacht Club and Wayzata
Community Sailing Center would be reviewed by the advisory committee as
part of the submittal process.
The attached zoning ordinance text amendment that will allow the Master
Plan to be implemented was later developed with the City Staff.
Charrette Master Plan Vision Statement:
The participants developed the following vision statement:
“We envision the Wayzata Yacht Club and Wayzata Community Sailing Center
as being recognized by its community as stewards of the Lake and as an
important part of the community’s character that adds to the quality of life,
community fabric and the image of the small town on the Lake. Our vision is of
a first rate sail boat racing Wayzata Yacht Club and educational Wayzata
Community Sailing Center which welcomes all members of the community in
7
Attachment A
experiencing the sport of sailing. Working together, the Wayzata Yacht Club,
the Wayzata Community Sailing Center and the neighbors strive to balance
their needs, sharing their character and values while working in a spirit of
camaraderie, cooperation, mutual respect to: maintain and enhance a
sustainable Wayzata Yacht Club, Wayzata Community Sailing Center, small
town character, the natural beauty and a quiet neighborhood environment.”
Eastman Lane Alternative Scenarios:
There is an understanding that one of Hennepin County’s scenarios for the
improvement of Eastman Lane is dependent on the cooperation of the
Wayzata Yacht Club. In March 2010, with this understanding the Wayzata
Yacht Club approached the City Council to discuss scenario planning where
the charrette participants would develop alternative plans related to the club’s
east parking area based on the preliminary plans provided by Hennepin
county. During the charrette the neighborhood participants preferred to
approach the issue with one alternative, by leaving the parking lot in its present
location and Eastman Lane in its present location. The preferred plan that is
being presented as part of this application is to make a number of
improvements to Eastman Lane including dedicating additional space by the
Yacht Club and Sailing Center for those improvements with Eastman Lane in
its present location.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment:
The Comprehensive Plan amendment application is to correct an apparent
oversight, when the most recent plan was amended. The Wayzata Community
Sailing Center, Wayzata Yacht Club, Wayzata Yacht Club’s east parking lot
and Wayzata Yacht Club’s west parking lot are all designated Semi Public
Private land use in the Comprehensive Plan. The strip of land where the
Wayzata Yacht Club began in 1964 and which is governed by the 1974 and
1976 conditional use permit entitling the Wayzata Yacht Club to use land is
designated Estate Single Family in the Comprehensive Plan. The Wayzata
Yacht Club is requesting that this oversight be corrected by designating the
land as Semi Public/ Private in the Comprehensive Plan. The following air
photo illustrates the comprehensive plan amendment (lot 2):
Lot 2 is part of the 1974
and 1976 Yacht Club
CUP. Request is to
include it as Semi
Public/ Private Land Use
as are the other
properties owned by
WYC and WCSC
8
Attachment A
Shoreland Conditional Use Permit:
The proposed improvements are within the Shoreland Overlay District (“S”) and
are subject to Section 801.91 of the City Code. An analysis of the conditions
contained in the City Code for issuing a Shoreland Impact Conditional Use
Permit concluded that all the conditions have been met, with the exception that
the small addition to the “club house” is less than 75 feet from the Ordinary
High Water Level. This addition is 53 feet from the OHWL. The Zoning
ordinance text amendment addresses this difference.
Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment:
A proposed zoning text amendment is part of this Narrative. The amendment
was developed by Midwest Planning & Design, LLC and the City Staff as an
implementation tool for the Comprehensive Plan Semi Public Private land use
areas through the creation of a citizen involved Master Plan. After extensive
discussions with the City Staff, we have all concluded that the most appropriate
way to implement the charrette generated Master Plan is to create a new
zoning district, which, like a Planned Unit Development (PUD), is dependent on
a Master Plan. The district, modeled after Wayzata’s current PUD district
relates to the existing zoning and subdivision ordinances, has a stepped
approval process, different but not un-similar to the existing PUD ordinance,
but adds a citizen participation requirement.
Zoning Ordinance Map Amendment:
A legal description of the proposed zoning district is included in this Narrative.
The charrette participants created a Master Plan that includes the Wayzata
Yacht Club, Wayzata Community Sailing Center property and the surrounding
streets (Eastman Lane and Arlington Circle South Fire Lane, Central Avenue
Public Boat Launch). All these land uses are inter-related and to plan for one
without a plan for the rest defeats the Master Planning process. As such, the
zoning district should geographically incorporate all of the plan elements and
the general design of the streets. Of course final design of the streets and boat
ramp are subject to later appropriate approvals.

Attachment A
Master Plan:
Master Plan Allowed Land Uses and Operating Policies:
The charrette participants developed the general operating policies and
allowable land use. However, the issue of motorized watercraft was not
resolved. A policy related to the issue is presented as part of this narrative.
Zoning District Allowed Land Uses:
The Master Plan details the allowed land uses. In general, the uses are those
that are associated with current operations or are necessary to operate a yacht
club and community sailing center. Only land uses that are listed on the
Master Plan are allowed. All other land uses are prohibited.
Zoning District General Operating Polices:
For the purposes of the zoning district, the following general operating polices
are presented as part of this narrative. Detail operating polices that must
conform to the general operating policies are attached to this narrative as
reference but are not part of the zoning district and are subject to change as
long as the changes conform to the general policies presented here, meet the
standards of the new zoning district including the allowed land uses, and are
discussed with the Advisory Committee before the change occurs.
General Operating Policies (Details Attached)
Neighborhood and Community Relations Policies:
1. Advisory committee: Wayzata Yacht Club and Wayzata (WYC) Wayzata
Community Sailing Center (WCSC) Board of Directors will jointly
establish an advisory committee made up neighborhood, City of
Wayzata, LMCD WYC and WCSC representative. The advisory
committee’s purpose is to advise WYC/WCSC on a variety of issues,
permit applications, policies and to provide one vehicle for ongoing
participation.
2. Event permits. As long as a Wayzata Yacht Club, Wayzata Community
Sailing Center, or community event does not include more than 300
vehicles, the City would not object to the event and will promptly support
or issue the necessary approvals for the event.
3. WYC/WCSC will communicate in a number of ways with the
neighborhood and the community including notification of any
substantial applications to a governmental unit.
.
Noise polices:
1. The entire Wayzata Yacht Club and Wayzata Community Sailing Center

Policies related to Leasing Slips and Buoys:
As a sail boat racing club, the club uses an incentive structure intended
to promote active racing sailors to race their sailboats. This system is:
1. Racer Rate: Lowest slip and buoy fee applies to voting full club
members who are racing sailboats at minimum levels of
participation in a racing program at the required levels. These
slips and buoys are renewable, with approval of the Wayzata
Yacht Club dock committee to current occupants provided they
continue to participate in the race program at required levels;
2. Non-Racer Rate: A higher fee applies to any full voting or nonvoting member that does not meet the minimum level of
11
Attachment A
participation in the racing program. These are annual non
renewable slips or buoys that can be assumed by any racing rate
sailboat meeting participation levels on an annual basis;
3. Jet skies or similar watercraft are not allowed at any slide, slip, or
buoy or stored on any property.
Master Plan: Site Plan:
This section of the narrative along with the attached plans describes the Master
Plan and shows a comparison between the standards of the Master Plan and
the current city zoning ordinance. The material lists, signs and images
provided as part of this narrative and on the attached plans are conceptual in
nature and are subject to non significant changes and modifications within the
frame work of unified identity similar to the material of the existing club house.
The building “foot prints” are shown as a maximum and may be reduced, but
not enlarged in size.

Wayzata Yacht Club and Wayzata
Community Sailing Center, Eastman
Lane, Central Ave. public launch and

describing the property and showing
the proposed zoning district
boundaries
The Planning area and area to be included in the proposed zoning district
consists of properties owned by Wayzata Yacht Club (Lot 1,Lot 2, Lot 3, and
Lot 4) and the Wayzata Sailing Foundation (Lot 5) as well as Eastman Lane,
Arlington Circle South, and the Central Avenue Public Boat Launch adjacent to
these lots.
The attached Master Plan; site plan consists of:
Site plan (attached sheets 1and 2) with allowable land uses, parking
standards, building setbacks, height restriction, and easements to be
dedicated to the City; conceptual details (sheet 3) with detail Eastman Lane
cross section and other site details; conceptual buildings (sheet 4) and A
Sign Plan with conceptual signs (sheet 5). The Plan shows the following
standards of the zoning district:
12
Attachment A
Setbacks and Heights:
Wayzata Community Sailing Center: New single story or not more than 35foot high whichever is less, 75 feet from the Ordinary High Water Level
(OHWL), behind the average setback of the two closest buildings (neighbor
on the west and Wayzata Yacht Club, club-house), 30-foot setback from the
north property line, and 15-foot setback from the west property line.
The Wayzata Community Sailing Center will provide additional easement
area for widening Eastman Lane to provide a 5 foot bike lane. However, the
setback from Eastman lane is measured from the property line rather than
from the easement line and the setback on Arlington Circle is 15 feet rather
than 30 feet.
Club House: New view protected single story or not more than 20-foot high,
whichever is less addition to the club house, neighborhood canoe rack; 5foot setback from Eastman Lane, 2.5-foot setback from Central Avenue; 45
foot setback from the OHWL.
Wayzata Yacht Club’s East Parking Lot: New eight-foot high storage
building with: 20 foot setback from the south property line; 5 foot setback
from the north property line, and 34foot setback from the unclassified
wetland.
Note! Although the general parking has a 20-foot setback, there is one
place where two stalls are within the 20-foot setback. There is a zero-foot
setback from the north lot line (Rail Road Right-of-Way, and 14 foot setback
from the east property line (CSAH 101 Right-of-Way).
Rather than providing an East Parking Lot setback of 10 feet around the
entire lot, the Master Plan provides zero foot parking lot setback adjacent to
the rail road right-of-way and 20 foot setback on Eastman Lane. This
additional setback provides additional visual buffer from Eastman Lane and
for the neighbors south of Eastman Lane, as well as creating a nicer
gateway to the community.
Wayzata Yacht Club’s West Parking Lot: thirteen-foot setback from
Eastman Lane’s existing paved road (right of use right of way); Three-foot
setback from Central Avenue public boat launch; 0-foot setback from the
existing seawall OHWL, (note a 2-foot board walk exists between the sea
wall and the parking area) and 6-foot setback from the navigable channel’s
OHWL.
The Master Plan provides a dedication of 8-foot easement from the
Wayzata Yacht Club for a public boat launch queuing lane to help resolve
the traffic safety issues associated with the boat launch. The club is also
13
Attachment A
providing an easement for additional public launch trailer storage area north
of Eastman Lane. In exchange for these easement, the club would provide
7-foot landscaped area rather the 15-foot area between the paved street
and the parking lot, and will in exchange receive Thursday on street parking
privileges as designated on the Master Plan in the trailer only parking
areas.
Wetland: Bio retention facility and buffer between proposed Eastman Lane
to the unclassified wetland is 5 feet and to the proposed improved trailer
area it is 16.5 feet.
The Master Plan provides Wayzata Yacht Club land to improve the trailer
parking area, provide room for a 5 foot bike lane and Eastman Lane buffer
for the unclassified wetland.
Arlington Circle Details
1. Concrete island is designed to discourage use of Arlington Circle;
2. Removable emergency vehicle access bollards. For maintenance and
fire access while discouraging the use of the fire lane by casual
vehicles.
Eastman Lane Details:
1. Existing right of way varies from 26 feet to 66 feet. With the dedication
of easements by the Wayzata Yacht Club and Wayzata Sailing
Foundation, Eastman Lane will have the following characteristics (see
cross sections Master Plan: Site Plan Details (sheet 3):
a. Bituminous surface elevated away from the lake with bio retention
and bio-swales to enhance water quality (see discussion);
b. Driving lanes: 11 feet;
c. Bicycle Lanes: 5 feet;
d. On street trailer parking partially on Wayzata Yacht Club
dedicated easements;
e. Public launch ramp queuing area on yacht club dedicated
easement;
Pedestrian crossing and 5-foot pedestrian trail from the east
parking lot to the club house partially on a Wayzata Yacht Club
dedicated easement.
Zoning District Parking Standards:
Rational Basis for the Proposed Standards:
Parking Study:
A parking study, conducted my Midwest Planning & Design, LLC in the
summer of 2009, counted parked cars by type and club participation in WYC
and WCSC parking lots. Vehicles and fishing boat trailers on Eastman Lane,
vehicles on nearby residential streets and vehicles parked at the Bay Center
were also counted. The study was conducted on Thursday evening and
14
Attachment A
Sunday afternoon for 12 weeks. This study along with other parking
information provide a rational basis to create a parking standards for the
proposed zoning district.
This study revealed that the average number of vehicles at all locations during
the peak parking demand period (Thursday) was 266 and the median number
of vehicles was 279. During the same period an average of 6 fishing boat
trailers were using the spaces provided along Eastman Lanei. During the 13
week study period; there was only one occurrence where the maximum
demand of 305 vehicles was reached. In all other cases the parking demand
was substantially less than the maximum demand. The following table shows
the total results of the parking study during the peak parking demand period:

The location where the vehicles parked and the vehicle type (compact,
midsize, full size, vans, SUVs and small trucks) was also studied. All but 68
vehicles were parked on WYC and WCSC property of those that were not
parked on WYC and WCSC property, parking was as follows:
Bay Center:
36 Vehicles
Eastman Lane:
29 Vehicles
Neighborhood Streets:
3 Vehicles
The following graphic shows parking in each of the parking lots by vehicle type,
and WYC parking that occurred at other locations other than at WYC/WCSC.
15
Attachment A
Although it may have occurred at one time, WYC parking on neighborhood
residential streets has ceased to be an issue. Also, contrary to the common
assumption that sailors use large vehicles, a large number of compact cars
were found to be using the existing parking.
Parking Ratios:
The Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) parking demand study indicates that a
marina’s parking ratio should be 0.29 parking spaces per boat berth. The City
Ordinance requires 0.7 parking spaces per boat or mooring space. At the
Wayzata City Marina 100 parking by permit spaces are provided for 100 slips
or a parking ratio of 1.0. Although the municipal marina has a large number of
power boats adjacent to residential uses and just a few sail boats, the City has
establish a precedence 1.0 ratio of parking spaces per slip. A search of the
LMCD code did not provide any objective parking requirements, except as it
relates to the municipal codes.
Based on the parking study a higher but flexible parking ratio and other parking
standards should be developed for the Yacht Club. Like all zoning standards
the law requires that the standard be based on the legal principle of “rational
basis”; that is, it cannot be arbitrary. The parking standards also need to be
strong enough to continue to discourage parking in the adjacent residential
neighborhoods, and developed within the vision statement created at the
charrette.
Proposed Master Plan Parking:
16
Attachment A
The proposed Master Plan parking will accommodate 316 vehicles. These
parking spaces include 304 vehicles on site and 12 vehicles parked on
Eastman Lane only on Thursday evenings. .
The master plan shows 189 slips and buoys. This is the total planned number
of slips and buoys. However, in planning for parking, there should be enough
land area for any possible future expansion in the number of slips and buoys.
Although the future is hard to predict, an indication of the possible, but not
planned, parking demand would be a parking ratio tied to the number of slips
and buoys allowed by the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD).
Likewise, to create a more sustainable parking area building too many parking
spaces based on a onetime parking occurrence is not in the best interest of the
environment or the neighborhood. The key to sustainable development is to
find a balance between the largest possible parking demand and that demand
that would likely occur on an ongoing basis while keeping the vehicles out of
the residential neighborhood.
Proposed parking standards:
The proposed standards are based on the study, precedent and the following
rationale:
Tying the parking ratio to slips and buoys rather than LMCD Boat Storage
Units. BSUs include slips and buoys but also includes slides used for
teaching boats, which are not used during the peak parking demand period;
Allowing some parking ratio flexibility so WYC/WCSC can create a
sustainable parking system which is not over reaching;
Limit the parking at the Sailing Center to 4 spaces. This is a major
compromise arrived at during the charrette in that the sailing center could
accommodate an additional 20 vehicles east of the proposed building.
Some of these sailing center spaces are being traded for the master plan’s
12 “on street” Eastman Lane parking spaces, which are all or partially on
Yacht Club property;
Prohibiting Yacht Club parking on neighborhood streets with the exception
of Eastman Lane in designated areas at designated times;
Requiring parking attendants at major functions, and
Not allowing other WYC and WCSC function to occur at the same time that
would increase the parking demand during the peak demand period.
Parking Spaces Required and Proof of Parking:
The median of the top quartile from the parking study conducted by Midwest
Planning & Design, LLC in 2009 indicates that a reasonable parking ration
would be 1.50 parking spaces per slip or buoy. With the above extra
conditions that are not generally imposed by zoning standards, the zoning
districts parking ratio should be 1.50 parking spaces per slip and buoy.

In addition, there should be sufficient land available so the site will
accommodate additional parking should the situation change, e.g. increase in
slips with a reduction of slides or in number of other conditions such as
increase vehicle use. This additional flexible parking space is referred to as
“proof of parking”. The proof of parking should be based on the maximum
number of LMCD allowable slips (201), which would require 301 parking
spaces.
Parking stall mix standards:
Base on the parking study the parking stall mix would be as follows:
1. 138 full size stalls including 4 HC stalls
48% of total spaces
2. 40 mid size stalls
13% of total spaces
3. 122 compact stalls
39% of total spaces
Parking stall sizes:
Based on the parking study, the parking stalls sizes would be as follows:
1. Full size 8.5 feet by 18 feet with most of the non overflow parking stalls
having at least an additional 2-foot vehicle over hang area;
2. Midsize: 8.0 feet by 18 feet with all of the stalls having an additional 2-foot
vehicle over hang area;
3. Compact size: 8.0 feet by 16 feet with all or the stalls having an additional
2-foot vehicle over hang area;
4. Parallel stalls 23 ft by 9 ft
Driving isle widths:
1. 17 -foot one way student drop off isle designed at this width for child safety
purposes ;
2. 22-foot one way parking access isles for midsize and compact parking stall
access;
3. 24-foot two way parking access isles for full size access.
Emergency access “fire lane”
24-foot two way and 7-foot clear access to the crane and ramp area of the
West Parking Lot.
Parking lot surface and parking stall delineation: As indicated on the Master
Plan:
1. Crush granite surface with center post signs
2. Grass Turf for over flow parking with center posts;
18
Attachment A
3. Drivable bio-swales;
4. Bituminous handicapped parking stalls, parking lot and service entry ways.
Flood Plain (935.1 feet):
1. Slight cutting and filling of the flood plain to provide bituminous service
entrance to the Wayzata Community Sailing Center and structural components
of the “School House”;for the part of the “school house” that will be built above
the flood elevation;
2. Compensating storage will be provided;
3. Part of the Wayzata Community Sailing Center “New School House” is built
above the flood elevation with allowable storage below the building;
4. Lowest floor of all buildings are at least 3 feet above 931.1-foot regional
flood elevation or are flood proofed.
Shore Land:
1. All wetlands are maintained in their current condition and are buffered with
bio retention basin or natural native surfaces;
2. Primary lake shoreline stabilization is maintained by rip rap and sea walls in
accord with Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD)Rules;
3. Shoreline stabilization within the navigable channel is maintained riprap on
the west shore, bio mechanical shoreline stabilization on the east side and bio
shoreline preservation north of the bridge in accord with MCWD Rules;
4. The crushed granite parking lots are redesigned to direct surface water
away from the lake to a bio swale/ rain garden system.
5. Eastman Lane, trailer parking areas, and the pedestrian path are
redesigned to direct water way from the lake and unclassified wetland to a bio
swale/ bio retention system.

Both the addition to the club house and the east parking Lot storage building
are design to not restrict the views of the lake from any residential homes (see
Briefing Hand Book: View Analysis). A condition of final plan approval would
be the views are not further restricted by the height or design of these
buildings.
Signs:
A sign plan has been provided as part of the Master Plan. The sign plan
provides standards for temporary signs, directional signs and identification
signs.
Temporary signs, function banners and flags are displayed during regattas,
to announce sailing events or to provide additional direction or similar
occasions. These signs may only be displayed during the function for banners
and flags and not more than 2 days prior to the function and two days after the
function for temporary directional signs and announcements.
Permanent directional signs are used to control traffic and parking and
transmit information related to the facilities.
Identification signs are ground or monument signs in character with the
architecture. Smaller signs are located at the entrance to each parking lots,
the pedestrian entrance from the public boat launch and on the bridge from the
Wayzata Community Sailing Center. One larger identification sign will be
located on the Wayzata Yacht Club, club house property and one on the
Wayzata Community Sailing Center property as indicted on the Master Plan.
Sign standards in the PUD zoning district would be as follows:
a. Standards of Sections 9 and 27 shall govern the size and placement
of signs. Provided however that the following exceptions shall occur:
21
Attachment A
Temporary Banners, flags, directional and announcement will be
governed by the Section 27.05 N and this Master Plan in designated areas
only and shall not require City Council approval;
·Permanent Parking Lot Directional Signs shall be governed by this plan,
provide however that such signs shall not be more than 2 square feet in
area each;
·Permanent identification signs at the entrance to each parking area and
other designated locations shall be no larger than 4 square feet in area;
·One identification ground or monument sign for Wayzata Community
Sailing Center and one identification ground or monument sign for the
Wayzata Yacht Club shall be allowed in designated areas and shall not
