August 10th, 2026

The City of Wayzata has appealed a Hennepin County District Court judgment that struck down the city’s prohibition on short-term rentals, sending the dispute to the Minnesota Court of Appeals.

The City filed its Notice of Appeal on August 4, 2026, in the case of Adlon C. Adams, et al. v. City of Wayzata, Hennepin County District Court File No. 27-CV-25-18923. The appeal challenges the judgment entered June 11, as well as other orders reviewable from that judgment.

Wayzata Short-Term Rental Ban Voided by Judge Over Zoning Process

The notice specifically identifies the district court’s March 30, 2026 order and its June 5 Order for Judgment as among the rulings the City is asking the Court of Appeals to review. The filing states that the appeal was made under Minnesota Rules of Civil Appellate Procedure 103.03(a) and within the applicable deadline.

The lawsuit was brought by a group of Wayzata property owners and entities, including Adlon C. Adams, 225 Manitoba Ave LLC, Olivia A. Adams, Wayzata Cottage LLC, Robert C. Fisher as trustee of the Robert C. Fisher Trust, Jeffrey Lee Holmers, 306 Barry Ave N LLC, Scott Tripps, 1020 Lake Street E LLC, Anna Ovsyannikova and Yevgeniy Ogranovich. The City of Wayzata is the defendant.

The underlying dispute centers on the City’s regulation of short-term rentals. Following the district court’s ruling, the City adopted an emergency ordinance imposing a 12-month moratorium on new short-term rentals while it studies potential changes to its regulations.

That ordinance states that the City Council considered the court’s ruling to have voided Ordinance No. 852, which prohibited short-term rentals under Chapter 815 of the Wayzata City Code. The new moratorium was adopted April 7 and directs city staff to study whether the City’s official controls, including its zoning and subdivision ordinances, should be revised to address short-term rentals.

Wayzata Council Approves Emergency Moratorium on New Short-Term Rentals in 4-1 Vote

Under the ordinance, the moratorium applies to new short-term rental activity, generally defined as occupancy of a rental dwelling or portion of a dwelling for fewer than 30 consecutive calendar days. Existing short-term rentals with qualifying licenses were excluded from the moratorium.

The appeal now moves the legal dispute from Hennepin County District Court to the Minnesota Court of Appeals. The City’s notice does not state the legal arguments it intends to make on appeal; those arguments will be presented through the appellate briefing process.

The City is represented by attorneys Paul Donald Reuvers, Jason J. Kuboushek and Andrew A. Wolf of Iverson Reuvers.

The case remains an important test of how Wayzata can regulate short-term rentals within the city, while the City’s separate moratorium and regulatory study move forward.
Wayzata Depot Celebrates 120 Years of History

A century-old railroad landmark welcomed visitors Sunday with cake, memories and a look back at the building that helped shape Wayzata

WAYZATA, Minn. — There was a birthday celebration at the Wayzata Depot on Sunday, but the guest of honor was 120 years old.

The Wayzata Depot Museum, located at 402 Lake Street East along the shores of Lake Minnetonka, welcomed visitors Sunday afternoon as the Lake Minnetonka Historical Society marked the 120th anniversary of the historic Great Northern Railway depot.

The celebration was well attended, with visitors stopping in to tour the depot, learn more about Wayzata’s railroad history and enjoy a special sheet cake prepared for the occasion.

Sue Sorrentino, Sarah Dibble, and Liz Vandal pause for a moment for a photo during the celebration.

Three volunteers from the Lake Minnetonka Historical Society were on hand to welcome visitors and share stories about the building and the history preserved inside it: Secretary Sarah Dibble, Co-President Liz Vandal and Co-President Sue Sorrentino.

“Happy Birthday to us! The depot is looking as good as it ever has,” Liz Vandal stated.

The Tudor Revival-style depot was built in 1906 for the Great Northern Railway and was designed by St. Paul architect Samuel L. Bartlett. A historic architectural survey of Wayzata describes the building as an important example of the Tudor Revival style and notes that it was designed to reflect both the prestige of the Great Northern Railroad and Wayzata’s economic and social character.

When the depot opened, it was considered an exceptionally modern railroad station for its time, featuring amenities including steam heat, electric lights and indoor bathrooms. Wayzata’s 2004 community history records that railroad magnate James J. Hill described the new station as “the handsomest and best built structure of its kind in the entire Great Northern system.”

A building tied to Wayzata’s transformation

The depot represents more than the history of one building. The railroad played a central role in transforming Wayzata from a lakeside settlement into a destination connected to the Twin Cities and beyond.

The first passenger train reached Wayzata in August 1867, when the Saint Paul & Pacific Railroad connected the community with Minneapolis. Passengers arriving by train could transfer to steamboats serving Lake Minnetonka, while farmers could use the railroad to move agricultural products to larger markets.

The relationship between Wayzata and the railroad continued to evolve over the following decades. In 1906, construction of the present depot marked another chapter in that relationship.

For generations, trains stopped at the station, bringing visitors to Lake Minnetonka and connecting residents with communities throughout the region.

Scheduled passenger service continued until 1958, when the depot became a “flag stop,” meaning trains stopped only when requested. Great Northern ultimately ended the depot’s official service in 1971 and donated the building to the City of Wayzata the following year.

Rather than disappear, the depot entered a new chapter as a place where Wayzata’s railroad and community history could be preserved.

The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. Today, it houses the Lake Minnetonka Historical Society Museum and the Wayzata West Metro Chamber of Commerce.

History that remains on display

Inside the depot, visitors can see artifacts connected to the era when the building was an active railroad station. Among them are original benches, a telegraph, telephone and safe, along with other objects donated over the years.

The depot’s exhibits help illustrate how railroads operated before modern communications. One display explains how railroad employees could use a yellow signal to indicate that a train needed to slow down so a waiting message could be picked up by the crew.

Outside, the Depot Garden and its model railroad provide another connection between Wayzata’s present and its railroad past. The outdoor garden railroad recreates elements of the community’s history in miniature and has become a popular attraction for families visiting the depot.

For a community that was profoundly shaped by its connection to the railroad, the depot remains an unusually tangible link to that past.

Wayzata’s historic architectural survey calls the depot historically and architecturally significant and recommends its designation as a local Heritage Preservation Site. The survey also notes that, in its restored condition, the building continues to impress both visitors and residents.

On Sunday, however, the focus was less on architectural significance and more on simply celebrating an old building that continues to have a place in the life of the community.

A 120-year-old depot may no longer serve the passengers who once arrived by train, but it continues to welcome visitors through its doors.

And, at least for one afternoon, there was cake to prove it.
From 6Smith to Comal: Luna Family Begins New Chapter in Long Lake

Former 6Smith Leaders Introduce Comal in Long Lake

Angel and Finesse Luna, longtime leaders in Wayzata’s hospitality community, are preparing to introduce a new restaurant identity in downtown Long Lake.

The husband-and-wife team announced that San Pancho will officially become Comal on Thursday, Aug. 13, completing a transition that began when the Luna family purchased and reopened the restaurant in January.

Although the name is changing, the restaurant’s ownership, staff and focus on regional Mexican cooking will remain in place. San Pancho will continue operating through Monday, Aug. 10, before closing Aug. 11 and 12 for updated signage, branding and other changes.

“When we first purchased the restaurant, we knew where we wanted to go,” co-owner Finesse Luna said. “We wanted the time to earn our guests’ trust, refine our menu and service, and build the experience we had envisioned. Comal is the name that finally tells that story.”

For many in Wayzata, the Lunas are already familiar faces.

Angel and Finesse spent 11 years as managing partners at 6Smith, where they helped lead the prominent Lake Street restaurant’s operations, develop its staff culture and establish it as one of downtown Wayzata’s signature dining destinations. They were also closely involved with the Wayzata Area Chamber of Commerce and the broader local business community.

Their move into restaurant ownership represents a natural next step after more than 50 years of combined hospitality experience.

Before their time at 6Smith, the couple spent 25 years with Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants and contributed to several well-known Minnesota concepts, including Tucci Benucch, Twin City Grill, The Crepe Stand and Big Bowl.

Now operating through Palm & Pine Hospitality, the Lunas are bringing that experience to a restaurant intended to become part of the daily rhythm of Long Lake and the surrounding Lake Minnetonka community.

“Our goal has always been to create the kind of neighborhood place that becomes part of people’s everyday lives,” Chef and co-owner Angel Luna said. “Whether you’re stopping in for your morning coffee, meeting friends for lunch, sharing dinner with family, or ending the evening at the bar, we want Comal to feel welcoming, familiar, and rooted in genuine hospitality.”

The name Comal refers to a traditional flat cooking surface used in kitchens throughout Mexico, often for preparing tortillas and other staple foods. For the Luna family, however, the name also represents tradition, craftsmanship and the practice of caring for others through food.

The restaurant is being described as a neighborhood café, fonda and bar. In Mexico, a fonda is generally understood as a welcoming, everyday restaurant serving traditional, home-style meals.

Comal will begin its mornings with coffee, espresso, pastries and lighter café offerings before moving into lunch, dinner and evening cocktails. The menu will continue to emphasize handcrafted regional Mexican cuisine influenced by Angel Luna’s Veracruz roots, family recipes and the foods the couple has encountered while traveling throughout Mexico.

The transformation comes only six months after the Lunas reopened the longtime Long Lake restaurant as San Pancho. Rather than immediately replacing the existing identity, the family used the opening months to learn from guests, refine the menu and service, and build the restaurant experience they ultimately wanted Comal to represent.

The Aug. 13 reopening will include refreshed branding, new signage and a new website, but regular guests should continue to see the same ownership and team they have come to know since January.

Comal’s arrival also extends a hospitality story with deep roots in Wayzata. Through their leadership at 6Smith, Chamber involvement and years of participation in the local restaurant community, Angel and Finesse Luna helped shape the experience of dining and gathering in downtown Wayzata.

Their newest chapter is unfolding just a few miles west, where they hope Comal will become the kind of familiar neighborhood institution where a morning cup of coffee can easily lead, hours later, to dinner and a drink among friends.
Wayzata Swears In Kevin Klapprich as First Full-Time Fire Chief, Presents Lifesaving Award

August 7th, 2026

The Wayzata City Council marked a milestone in the city’s public-safety history Tuesday, Aug. 5, formally swearing in Kevin Klapprich as Wayzata’s first full-time fire chief and recognizing him with a Lifesaving Award.

Klapprich officially began serving in the full-time position June 29, following 47 years with the Wayzata Fire Department and approximately 20 years as chief.

The appointment represents a significant investment in the department and the community while continuing a multigenerational tradition of fire service within the Klapprich family. His father, Paul Klapprich, served for many years as Wayzata’s fire chief, and his brothers have also served with the department.

Paul Klapprich joined his son at the ceremony and pinned the fire chief’s badge following the oath of office.

Council members recognized the sacrifices made not only by Klapprich, but also by his family and the families of Wayzata’s paid-on-call firefighters. They praised the department’s longstanding presence at emergencies, civic gatherings and neighborhood events, describing its members as some of the most visible representatives of the community.

The ceremony adds another chapter to a department whose modern organization dates to 1921 and whose service has long depended upon local residents willing to answer calls at every hour.

Chief Honored for June 4 Rescue

Before Klapprich addressed the council, the city presented him with a Lifesaving Award for his response to a June 4 appliance fire at 190 Wayzata Boulevard East.

Klapprich was the first firefighter to arrive and found a stove fire spreading up the back wall and into the cupboards. A Wayzata police officer identified as Officer Davidson arrived shortly afterward, and the two used fire extinguishers to slow the flames until additional firefighters and equipment reached the building.

During the response, Klapprich heard a resident on an upper floor while heavy smoke was filling the building. He entered the structure, helped the resident down the stairs and brought the person safely outside.

The resident was transported to a hospital for smoke inhalation and later recovered. City officials said Klapprich’s swift response saved the resident’s life.

“I Didn’t Get Here Alone”

Klapprich thanked his family, current and former Wayzata firefighters, city staff, elected officials, residents, businesses and fellow firefighters from throughout the region.

He reflected on the holidays and family gatherings interrupted through the years when he and other family members left the table to answer emergency calls.

“I look forward to serving the city with fairness, kindness, and humility,” Klapprich said.

He credited the many people who supported him throughout his career and helped prepare him for the department’s new chapter.

“I am here because of an army of people who did an awful lot for me along the way,” Klapprich said. “I didn’t get here alone.”

He concluded by describing the opportunity as an honor and saying he was deeply humbled by the confidence placed in him.

The council then recessed briefly as Klapprich, his family, firefighters and city officials gathered for photographs—commemorating both a personal achievement and a historic moment for the Wayzata Fire Department.
Wayzata Neighborhoods Gather Tonight for Night to Unite

August 4th, 2026

WAYZATA, MN — Neighbors across Wayzata will gather for block parties, cookouts and community activities tonight as the city celebrates its annual Night to Unite tradition.

Photos from Last years Night to Unite gathering.

The event runs from 5:15 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 4, at registered neighborhood gatherings throughout Wayzata and Long Lake. The community has participated in Night to Unite for more than 40 years, bringing residents together while strengthening relationships between neighborhoods and local public-safety officials.

Throughout the evening, representatives from the Wayzata Police Department, Wayzata Fire Department, city staff and elected officials will travel between participating block parties. Police cars and fire trucks will make appearances, with children receiving small giveaways and visitors sharing crime-prevention information.

The gatherings also give residents an informal opportunity to meet police officers, firefighters, city employees and local elected leaders, ask questions and learn more about the people serving the community.

Unlike a single citywide festival, Night to Unite takes place within individual neighborhoods. Gatherings may include shared meals, games, music and other family activities organized by residents and neighborhood hosts.

At its heart, the evening is about encouraging neighbors to know one another. Those relationships can help create stronger, safer neighborhoods by making it easier for residents to communicate, recognize when something is out of place and look out for one another throughout the year.

Residents with questions about Wayzata’s Night to Unite activities may contact the Wayzata Police Department at 952-404-5340.
Wayzata Education Fund Names MaryKate Haake Its First Executive Director

August 4th, 2026

The Wayzata Education Fund has named longtime educator and community volunteer MaryKate Haake as the organization’s first executive director, marking a new chapter for the nonprofit that supports students and staff throughout Wayzata Public Schools.

Haake began the newly created role Monday, Aug. 3. She will work with the organization’s volunteer board, donors, families and school partners to expand classroom grants, strengthen community relationships and guide the fund’s continued growth.

“This is a milestone for the Wayzata Education Fund. Our volunteers have spent years building trust and relationships across our entire Wayzata Public Schools community, and that foundation is what makes this moment possible,” said Sara Griffin, board chair of the Wayzata Education Fund. “When we look at what our peer districts have built, we know we’re only just getting started. With dedicated executive leadership now in place, we have a real opportunity to grow our impact for this incredible district even further.”

For more than two decades, the Wayzata Education Fund has relied heavily on volunteer leadership and community support to fund educational opportunities beyond what the district’s regular operating budget can provide.

As its programs and fundraising efforts have grown, the organization’s board determined that dedicated professional leadership was needed to build upon that foundation.

Haake brings more than 15 years of experience in education and community involvement to the position.

She taught general and special education in Shakopee Public Schools for eight years. During that time, she earned a master’s degree and specialist designation in educational leadership, along with a Minnesota K-12 administrative license.

In the Wayzata school community, Haake founded the Moms Helping Moms initiative and served in a leadership role with the Oakwood Elementary PTA.

“I am excited to join the Wayzata Education Fund and build on the incredible work already underway,” Haake said. “Together with our dedicated volunteers, community members, donors, and school partners, we will continue to create meaningful opportunities for each and every Wayzata Public Schools student.”

As executive director, Haake will help oversee the fund’s classroom grant program and support established community traditions, including the Highlight a Hero campaign and the organization’s annual gala.

She will also focus on strengthening connections among families, educators, volunteers and donors across the district.

Founded in 2003, the Wayzata Education Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching and supporting educational experiences for students and staff throughout Wayzata Public Schools.

The organization provides grants for programs and opportunities that align with the district’s strategic roadmap but extend beyond what can be funded through the regular school budget.

Wayzata-Area 10-Year-Old Selected for U.S. Futsal Trip to Brazil

Cecilia Borcherding is one of just 12 girls chosen nationwide in her age group

WAYZATA, Minn. — Ten-year-old Cecilia Borcherding is preparing to take her game from Minnesota to an international stage after being selected for a national girls futsal team traveling to Brazil this month.

Cecilia is one of just 12 girls selected from across the United States in the 10-year-old age group, earning a place on the roster following a competitive, multistage evaluation process.

Her journey began at an initial tryout in Minneapolis. After advancing through the first round, Cecilia was invited to a final selection camp in Richmond, Virginia, where she competed alongside 40 of the country’s top young players during three days of evaluations.

From that group, Cecilia earned one of the coveted roster positions.

Futsal is a fast-moving form of soccer played with four field players and a goalkeeper on a hard, basketball-style court. The game uses a smaller, low-bouncing ball and places a premium on close control, quick decisions and creativity in tight spaces.

In August, Cecilia will spend seven days in Brazil representing the United States alongside young players selected from communities throughout the country.

“It’s an incredible opportunity for such a young athlete, and we’re so proud of everything she’s accomplished,” her mother, Lauren Borcherding, said.

The trip will give Cecilia an opportunity to experience the sport in Brazil, a country with a deep soccer and futsal tradition, while training, traveling and building friendships with teammates from across the United States.

For a young athlete whose path began at a local Minneapolis tryout, the journey to Brazil represents a remarkable next step — and a proud moment for her family and the Wayzata-area community cheering her on.

Do you know someone doing something special in the Wayzata community? Whether it is a student achievement, athletic accomplishment, milestone, volunteer effort or another story worth sharing, we would be glad to hear about it.

Eloise to Reopen as Bar Eloise With Expanded Patio and Neighborhood Focus

August 3rd, 2026

Eloise is entering a new chapter in downtown Wayzata, with plans to reopen in September as Bar Eloise — a more casual, flexible neighborhood restaurant designed to welcome walk-in diners, families and guests stopping in for drinks or a meal.

The restaurant from owner Lindsay Pohlad will refresh its name, interior, menu and overall guest experience following feedback from customers who enjoyed Eloise but wanted a place that felt easier to visit on an everyday basis.

“We have always believed the best restaurants belong to their communities,” the Bar Eloise team said. “Over the last few months, we’ve listened closely to our guests, and one message came through clearly: they love the food and the spirit of Eloise, but they want a place that feels easier to drop into, more casual, and more connected to the neighborhood.” fileciteturn0file0

Eloise will close Monday, Aug. 31, through Thursday, Sept. 3, while the space and brand identity are refreshed. Bar Eloise is scheduled to open to the public Friday, Sept. 4.

A More Casual Dining Experience

The updated restaurant will offer additional bar seating and high-top tables, along with integrated televisions in the bar area for guests interested in watching a game over dinner or drinks.

A large operable front window will allow the dining room to open toward Broadway Avenue, strengthening the restaurant’s connection to the surrounding downtown streetscape. A substantial portion of the indoor dining room will also be reserved for walk-ins.

The menu will move toward approachable, high-quality fare inspired in part by Pohlad’s sister restaurant, The Grocer’s Table. Seasonal ingredients will remain central, while the selection expands to include shareable plates, handhelds and hearty entrées.

Guest-favorite dishes and desserts from Eloise will remain, and the restaurant’s cocktail program will continue to be an important part of the experience. Bar Eloise also plans to offer a more family-friendly menu with options intended to appeal to a wider range of diners. fileciteturn0file0

Sunday brunch will begin Sept. 20, featuring popular selections inspired by The Grocer’s Table alongside dishes created specifically for Bar Eloise.

Expanded Patio to Welcome More Walk-Ins

The relaunch will coincide with a major expansion of the restaurant’s outdoor dining area recently approved by the Wayzata City Council.

The council voted 4-0 on July 21 to approve a seasonal sidewalk café permit adding approximately 468 square feet to the restaurant’s existing 165-square-foot patio. The expansion will extend south along Broadway Avenue into the public right-of-way in front of neighboring retailer Chico’s and provide outdoor seating for approximately 28 guests.

Wayzata Council Approves Eloise Patio Expansion

Pohlad told the council that the original patio was designed primarily for cocktails and appetizers when Eloise opened in 2024, but customers soon began asking to enjoy complete meals outdoors.

“Everyone wants to take advantage of every opportunity they have to sit outside,” Pohlad said.

The expanded area will provide more room between tables and allow the restaurant to accommodate outdoor dining more comfortably. Most of the new patio seating will be held for walk-in guests, supporting Bar Eloise’s effort to become a place people can visit more spontaneously.

Plans include new tables, seating, planters, railings and modifications to the existing patio. The layout will preserve a pedestrian walkway measuring slightly more than six feet wide, exceeding the city’s five-foot minimum clearance requirement.

Because the patio extends beyond the restaurant’s storefront, the arrangement was considered somewhat unusual. However, city staff determined that the proposal met requirements for pedestrian circulation, accessibility and fire access. The permit applies to the 2026 season and will return to the City Council for annual renewal.

The expanded patio is expected to be installed toward the end of August, depending on the arrival of tables, chairs and other furnishings. It will become a central part of the Bar Eloise experience when the restaurant reopens in September.

Bar Eloise will remain open from 4 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays and from 4 to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. The restaurant will be closed Mondays. Sunday brunch will be offered from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. beginning Sept. 20.
Wayzata City Council Race Draws Four Candidates

July 29th, 2026

Four candidates have filed to run for two seats on the Wayzata City Council in the November 3, 2026, general election.

The candidates are incumbent Councilmembers Molly MacDonald and Dan Koch, along with challengers David Struck and Adam Elg. Struck serves on the Charter Commission, and Elg is part of the Planning Commission.

The two council seats carry four-year terms beginning in January 2027. MacDonald and Koch currently hold the positions that will appear on the ballot.

The candidate filing period closed Tuesday, July 28, at 5 p.m. Candidates have until Thursday, July 30, at 5 p.m. to formally withdraw from the race.

Unless a candidate withdraws before the deadline, Wayzata voters will choose two of the four candidates this fall.

The contested race gives residents a meaningful opportunity to hear different perspectives on the issues facing Wayzata and to decide who should help guide the community during the next four years. Additional information about the candidates and their positions is expected as the campaign moves forward.
HiFi on the Lake Brings Electronic Music to Wayzata Lakefront Tonight

July 25th, 2026

Electronic music will fill the Wayzata lakefront tonight as HiFi on the Lake returns with an afternoon and evening of live performances near Macanda.

The ticketed event will be held Saturday, July 25, at 294 Grove Lane East, near the Wayzata Depot and Boatworks building. The outdoor program is scheduled to run from 3 to 10 p.m., followed by a separate indoor after-party at Macanda for guests age 21 and older.

The lineup includes Cole Knight, Hardt Antoine, Matillo, Johnny Whitaker and additional electronic dance music artists.

Macanda is a lakefront restaurant and vinyl lounge located at 294 Grove Lane East in Wayzata, Minnesota, offering a fusion of Latin American flavors and contemporary Japanese sushi.

Wayzata Mayor Andrew Mullin offered his support for the event in a Facebook post Saturday morning, wishing organizers Johnny Whitaker and Aaron Switz well as they prepared for the day’s festivities.

“I feel strongly that our community needs to support safe, positive opportunities for our youth and young adults to gather, connect, and have fun close to home even if the music gets a little loud for some of us every now and then,” Mullin wrote.

The mayor said providing welcoming local activities for younger generations is an important part of building an engaged community.

“Creating spaces where our younger residents feel welcome and engaged is important,” Mullin wrote. “Wishing the team a successful event and everyone attending a fun, safe time out on the lake!”

The Wayzata City Council approved a special-use permit for the event in June after organizers reduced an earlier proposal for two nights of music to a single Saturday program. Plans presented to the city included private security, police coordination, neighborhood notification and sound monitoring.

Wayzata Council Approves HIFI on the Lake Permit in 4-1 Vote

The outdoor portion of HiFi on the Lake is open to all ages and will proceed rain or shine. Ticket options include general admission, access near the stage and a 21-and-older premium area with elevated viewing, food, a private bar and indoor restroom access.

HiFi on the Lake brings a contemporary sound to one of Wayzata’s most familiar settings, offering younger residents and visitors an opportunity to gather along the shores of Lake Minnetonka while adding a different beat to the city’s summer calendar.

Tickets are available here.
