Highway 10 <br /> Mounds View, MN 55112 <br /> Dear Samantha: . <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. 1 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.
