October 9, 1996 Joel Hanson City of Little Canada 515 E Little Canada Road Little Canada, MN 55117 Dear Mr. Hansen: CITY OF VADNAIS HEIGHTS 687 East County Road "F" Vadnais Heights, Minnesota 55127 -7099 Phone (612) 429 -5343 Fax: (612) 429 -8282 The City of Vadnais Heights is interested working jointly with the City of Little Canada to develop a park area which would extend into the City of Little Canada from Vadnais Heights. More specifically, the City of Vadnais would be interested in an area along Twin Lake within the boundary of Little Canada similar in area as it presently has along Twin Lake in Vadnais Heights. The reasons that the City of Vadnais Heights would like to extend the park area into Little Canada are: 1) Lake shore east of the present park area would be better suited for a public dock or fishing pier. From an environmental stand point the ground west of the planned park area would be more suitable to develop due to better soil conditions. 2) The present configuration of the park area separates lot 8 from an easement area provided to lot 8 for lake access. The easement area provided for lake access is in Little Canada and lot 8 is in Vadnais Heights. It may be possible to swap property identified as the easement for lake use for the park property in Vadnais Heights. If the land swap took place the owner of lot 8, Mr. Pardee, would have his lake access point contiguous to his home site in Vadnais Heights. Presently, Mr Pardee has an easement across the park area in Vadnais Heights to his lake access site in Little Canada. If the City of Little Canada would agree to have a portion of the park area within it's boundary, the City of Vadnais Heights would be agreeable in forming a committee which would allow participation from the City of Little Canada to help develop guidelines for Page 22 Printed on recycled paper.
