MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 22, 1994 homeowners. 5calze pointed out that until the 14 lots are sold and homes built, the homeowners' association will not exist to govern the outlot. Morelan pointed out that there are some lots included in the plat without lake frontaqe. The outlot will provide lake access for those lots. Morelan stated that he did not necessarily agree that a property owner in Vadnais Heights should be given lake frontage in Little Canada. Remerowski asked if the homeowners' association should have the power to determine whether or not the three lots in the plat without lake frontage should be allowed that frontage via the outlot. Remerowski was concerned that the people using the public park in Vadnais Heights will automatically use the Outlot A area as well. Scalze pointed out that this is why she is recommending that Outlot A be designated as having no public access. Pratt stated that he was agreeable to such a restriction. Pratt showed the Council a copy of the plat for the Vadnais Heights property and how the public park deletes the lake frontage for the Pardee property. Scalze suggested that the plat could be drawn a little differently so that Mr. Pardee's lot would have lake frontage. Scalze also stated that she was uncomfortable with the term "easement" since it is her understanding that an easement can be bought and sold. Because of this Scalze did not support a lake access easement for Mr. Pardee, especially since the property is adjacent to a public park in Vadnais Heights. LaValle asked why Vadnais Heights wants a 30 to 40 foot strip of property going down to the lake past several private lots. Pratt replied that Vadnais Heights wants to provide a walkway to the lake with a fishing pier on the lake. Remerowski pointed out that this is the only lake in Vadnais Heights that the City can actually get public 28
