Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve <br />The proposed changes to the existing compost site <br />are shown on Figure 16. The existing facility is <br />proposed to be moved about 1300 feet to the <br />north, out of the park boundary and an existing <br />maintenance service road is proposed to serve as <br />ingress access to the facility and an existing drive <br />will serve as egress access out of the facility. The <br />County acknowledges that any costs related to <br />these improvements will not be eligible for <br />financing through the Metropolitan Council Parks <br />Capital Improvement Program or Parks and Trails <br />Legacy Program appropriations. <br />In 2016, the County hired a consultant to conduct <br />a Maintenance Facility Assessment to project the <br />long term system -wide needs for maintenance <br />support building and infrastructure within the <br />County's park system. The assessment helped <br />identify gaps in service coverage, identified where <br />new facilities are anticipated and allows the <br />County to plan for future improvements.
