MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 22, 1994 Pratt apologized. Hanson asked if there was anyone from the general public present wishing to comment on this proposal. Howard Remerowski, Twin Lake Trail resident, stated that he would like to see some definite designation for Outlot A. Remerowski felt that the plat presented this evening was the best proposal the City would get for the property. Scalze agreed, but felt that there should be some definition for the use of Outlot A. Scalze suggested Outlot A be limited to private open space with no public access and undisturbed utility and drainage easement. Scalze felt the definition was important initially until such time as the 14 single-family homes are constructed and occupied and the homeowners' association becomes active. Scalze stated that she did not agree that Mr. Pardee should get an easement for lake access across Little Canada property. Morelan agreed with Scalze's comments, and felt the specifics of Outlot A could be addressed at the time of final plat. The City Planner reported that as part of the final platting process the City can designate Outlot A as a utility and drainage easement. Any restrictions beyond that should be addressed with covenants as part of the preliminary plat. The Planner reported that an outlot can only be used for its platted purpose. LaValle asked if the homeowners' association could decide to allow public access to the lake via the outlot. The Planner reported that the outlot would then have to be replatted for this new purpose. Replatting would require the full public hearing process. Remerowski asked why the lot lines could not be extended to incorporated Outlot A into the lots. Pratt replied that the area is already covered with a wetland designation and St. Paul Water Utility easement. Again, the proposal is that the outlot be used for the private enjoyment of the 14 single-family 27
