MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />~CTOBER 9, 1996 <br />position should remain as stated two years ago. Scalze <br />noted that the Council made its decision after <br />receiving input from Vadnais Heights, property owners <br />in the area, and the developer. Scalze was agreeable <br />to working cooperatively on the trail issue. <br />Pedersen pointed out that a very small percentage of <br />lake shore is actually in Vadnais Heights. Pedersen <br />noted that Twin Lake is a very small lake, most of it <br />is located in Little Canada, and he was not interested <br />in working with Vadnais Heights on something that would <br />have no benefit to Little Canada. <br />Fahey felt the lake was a joint asset that the two <br />cities should work cooperatively on. <br />Morelan pointed out that the Council explored a lot of <br />possibilities, and made a decision which was right for <br />Little Canada. <br />Scalze pointed out that the Parks & Recreation <br />Commission felt there was no need for a Little Canada <br />park in this location. <br />Fahey stated that his impression is that there will be <br />access to the lake regardless of whether or not it is a <br />cooperative venture between the two cities. Fahey felt <br />that by cooperating, Little Canada would end up with <br />something more desirable than otherwise. <br />Howard Remerowski stated that from the beginning <br />Vadnais Heights said there will be public access to <br />Twin Lake because this is the only access to water <br />Vadnais Heights has. Remerowski pointed out that there <br />is access to the southeast end of Vadnais Lake. He <br />further reported that he heard there are plans to add <br />fishing piers to Vadnais Lake. <br />Remerowski reported that there is about a mile of <br />frontage around Twin Lake, and only 200 feet of it is <br />in Vadnais Heights. Remerowski stated that Twin Lake <br />is a private lake at this time. Remerowski questioned <br />whether or not Vadnais Heights would be able to put a <br />public access onto Twin Lake without approval of the <br />DNR. Remerowski reported that Pratt Aomes would like <br />to developer their own park for the homes they are <br />constructing in this area. Approximately 65 of the <br />homes will be located in Vadnais Heights, and 14 to 15 <br />will be located in Little Canada. Pratt would like <br />access to the lake for these homes. <br />24 <br />
