515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: April 23, 1999 <br />RE: Preliminary Plat for Twin Lake Pines Addition <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Mr. Pratt will be present at Tuesday's meeting to discuss the preliminary plat of the above - <br />referenced subdivision. I have met with Mr. Pratt and Geny Urban, City Administrator of <br />Vadnais Heights, relative to this matter. A current status report is as follows: <br />♦ The installation of water main is a critical issue. As you know, the planned source is <br />from the City of Vadnais Heights. However, it has been reported there are some fire <br />flow /stagnant water concerns with the existing main in the Mitchell preserve adjacent to <br />this property. The City of Vadnais Heights has commissioned their engineer to do a <br />comprehensive, city -wide water study. This area is to receive special attention as part of <br />that report. However, results are not expected to be available until this fall. <br />♦ Related to the water main for the Twin Lake Pines Plat, is the fact that we need to get <br />municipal water to the Twin Lakes area within our community. (Vadnais Heights also <br />has a desire to serve the Five Star Mobile Home Park. We are receiving inquiries from <br />residents in this area regarding the possibility of city water and the need for road <br />improvements. These projects are identified in our 5 -year CIP.) It appears a looped <br />system could address both communities' concerns and assure the construction of the <br />Twin Lake Pines subdivision. The feasibility and timing of implementation of this <br />concept will be subject to the results of the comprehensive water study undertaken by <br />Vadnais Heights. <br />• The sewer system to serve the Twin Lake Pines development will be a Little Canada <br />system as it connects to the metro line with no Vadnais connections prior to serving Little <br />Canada residents. There would be some Vadnais Heights homes connected to this line. <br />Connection and billing issues will need to be resolved with a joint powers agreement <br />addressing the overall utility situation between the two cities. <br />• City of Vadnais Heights is requesting an off - street path along the south side of Vadnais <br />Boulevard to be extended to Twin Lake Boulevard to help them complete a link they are <br />Page 98 <br />
