RC SOLID WASTE 612 633 0571 P.02 <br />RAMSEY COUNTY <br />Department of Public Health <br />Division of Solid Waste <br />Zack Hansen, Manager <br />1910 West County Road B, #206 <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br />March 31, 1994 <br />Ms. Samantha Orduno <br />City of Mounds View <br />2401 Highway 10 <br />Mounds View, MN 55112 <br />Dear Samantha: <br />Tel: 612-292.7900 <br />Fax: 612-633-0571 <br />I am writing with regard to the yard waste site located in Ardan'Park <br />in the City of Mounds View. You have requested a status report on the <br />Division's research into the closing or relocation of the yard waste <br />site. I am sorry that no one from the Division of Solid Waste is able <br />to attend your City Council Working Session on April 4, but we are <br />previously committed to attend a Maplewood Planning Commission meeting <br />on that same night. <br />Survey Data <br />The City and County distributed a postcard survey to residents of <br />Mounds View through the City newsletter last month. The Division <br />received 282 responses, and the results are summarized in an <br />attachmentto this letter. From the survey it can be concluded that <br />the respondents were primarily users of the site. Should the site be <br />closed they would most likely use other County sites. The overwhelming <br />majority (89.4%) stated that the site should remain where it is. There <br />was no objection to being asked for identification. Finally, if the <br />site were moved to an area near the new golf course, most respondents <br />would use it with the same frequency as the current site. <br />Site Use Data <br />The Mounds View site is the least busy site of the eight managed by <br />Ramsey County. The number of site visits at Mounds View and all eight <br />sites for the past three years is shown below. <br />Year Mounds View All Sites % of All Sites <br />1991 18,143 297,123 6.0% <br />1992 23,452 320,489 7.3% <br />1993 24,369 377,728 6.5% <br />In 1993 the seasonal site use was as follows: Spring: 7,634 visits, <br />summer: 6,440 visits, fall: 10,295 visits. Based on survey data we are <br />able to calculate the number of households served by the site (this <br />takes into account multiple visits by•the same household). The number <br />of households served by the site in the spring of 1993 was 3,172, <br />summer was 2,298, and fall was 2,198. According to the 1990 Census, <br />Mounds View had 3,112 households (single family through fourplex). <br />Minnesota's First Home Rule County <br />prf Wad ua IyI d paper with a mlhlm4m of IO%poatammumer aunbal <br />
