MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 22, 1994 discuss a property trade. However, the church has decided not to proceed with such an exchange. Scalze asked if there was a clear definition of the property lines involved in the plat. Pratt replied that surveying has been done to determine property lines. LaValle asked the purpose of outlot A. Pratt replied that Outlot A would be private open space for the 14 single-family lots. The owners of these lots would form a homeowners' association, and Outlot A would be governed by that association. LaValle asked why it is beinq proposed that Mr. Pardee have access to the lake via an easement across Outlot A. LaValle pointed out that Mr. Pardee plans to build a home on one of the lots lying in Vadnais Heights. Pratt explained that in platting the Vadnais Heights property, the City of Vadnais Heights took a park land dedication adjacent to the lot Mr. Pardee would like to build on in such a manner that it takes Mr. Pardee's lake frontage. Therefore, Mr. Pardee is asking for an easement giving him lake frontage on Outlot A. Scalze pointed out that Mr. Pardee could walk across the Vadnais Heights park property to access the lake. Mr. Pratt replied that this was possible, but that Mr. Pardee wanted lake access for his private use. Scalze questioned providing lake access in Little Canada for a property owner in Vadnais Heights. Pratt replied that he is sensitive to Mr. Pardee's request because it is his land. Pratt suggested that the matter could be tabled until a future meeting and that he bring Mr. Pardee back to explain his request. Scalze stated that she was not in favor of tabling the matter, and expressed ooncern with the fact that Mr. Pratt was late to this Council meeting as well as others causing neighboring residents who have come to the meetings to wait for extended periods of time. 26
