A Vision for Wayzata's Future
The following sketches represent a °vision of
one direction in which each of Wa zata's
y
design districts could evolve. They embody
several Ic'ey principl es that', a basis for
the Design Guidelines. The specific
buildings and new open spaces depicted
the sketches, however ri are nQ mended to be
taken literally, no existnigTi�txldgs a r e a +gy :tea .-.,�`
earmarked'for removal or reeonstructionc "
Principles: r,
Strengthen the connections between the
downtown and the lake.
Increase the amount, attractiveness and
impact of public open space.
Strengthen the existing built form
within each district through the use of
high- quality materials, contextual
design and careful detailing.
Encourage a lively and vibrant mix of
uses and activities within each district,
in keeping with Wayzata's smal tow
character and scale.
Sketches 1 and 2: Lake Street and
Superior Boulevard.
Sketch 1, looking south toward the lake,
shows a new public access and view corridor
out to Lake Minnetonka terminating in a
public dock. A small roundabout with a
water feature organizes and slows traf
flow through the intersection. New or
expanded two -story buildings reinforce the
street edge, while colorful signs, lights and
awnings enliven the streetscape. Sketch 2
shows a parking structure combined with
new storefronts between Lake Street and
Mill Street.
Sketch 3: Lake Street and Barry
Avenue
The sketch shows the infill of the block just
west of Barry Avenue with new two -story
buildings in a variety of compatible styles,
with a few three -story segments at points of
emphasis. The buildings are divided into
storefront -size increments and reflect some
of the detailing of the Five Swans building
on the right.
