515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 <br />March 7, 1996 <br />TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Kathy Glanzer, Administrative Assistant <br />RE: State Use Deed - Lake Street Property <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 />Attached is information providing the background for the Park & <br />Recreation Commission's recommendation and the Council's action <br />in 1990 in obtaining a use deed for ponding and drainage purposes <br />for tax - forfeited property along Lake Street. <br />Based on new wetland regulations, if this property is classified <br />as a wetland, it would be protected under that law. As a result, <br />there would be no need for the City to maintain a use deed on the <br />property to protect it as wetland. <br />As you can see from the February, 1996 Parks & Recreation <br />Commission meeting minutes, the Park Consultant indicated the <br />property has no potential for park purposes. I discussed this <br />recommendation with the Park Consultant, who indicated that he <br />felt a small neighborhood park was not needed in this area. The <br />Consultant felt the property tied in with the redevelopment of <br />the Rice Street area. <br />Page 13 <br />
