The Director stated that after discussions with the City Administrator and the Park Consultant, it was their conclusion that the City would not be interested in having any kind of park in the Twin Lake Pines location. They would recommend cash in lieu of land for the park charge on that development. The Director stated that there is an existing trail on Vadnais Boulevard next to the Vadnais Heights' homes in the Mitchell Preserve that the developers installed adjacent to the roadway as part of their project. He stated that he would like to see the developer continue that trail as part of the Twin Lake Pines project. The Director felt that the trail should be installed independent of any park charge. Johnson recommended that cash be accepted in lieu of land for the Twin Lake Pines park charge. Motion seconded by Sackett Glaser. Page 50
