Hinetor . <br /> I am writing to follow up discussions between the City and County on <br /> the Hounds View yard waste site located in Ardan Park. At the City <br /> Council meeting on August 20 , 1990 , the Council indicated its interest <br /> in keeping the site open for use by citizens through at least t. <br /> :e <br /> spring of 1991 . The Council did not object to site improvements <br /> necessary to o_-erate the site during that period , and suggested that <br /> the County inspect the soils on site to aid in determining the <br /> long-term viability of this site for managing yard waste . <br /> The Ramsey County Public Works Department gave the Solid baste <br /> Division an opinion regarding the soil base at the site , after <br /> conducting an analysis of the soils . The soils on site are sandy loam <br /> ( technically classified as Lino- loamy fine sand) . In the opinion of <br /> the engineer the soils should be adequate for a yard waste site , with <br /> or without the addition of gravel . He recommended that the site be <br /> graded for drainage . After grading , the soils on site should be <br /> adequate for site operation. <br /> Based on this opinion the Solid baste Division , in consultation with <br /> you and the County ubl t-`orks Department , has prepared a revised <br /> plan to make the site usable for the coming season . tie recommend tie <br /> - <br /> following : <br /> o Temporarily move material off-site ; <br /> o Grade the site to drain east toward the Swale ; <br /> o Repair the fence ; <br /> o Relocate the gates and change the traffic pattern; <br /> o Install net signs to direct traffic <br /> + <br /> o Have a monitor present at all times the site is open. <br /> in order for the site to be ready for this fall the work will need to <br /> commence by September 17, 1990 . As previously stated , we will need <br /> approval of the City to proceed with this work, as the City owns the <br /> site. In the event that the City does not wish to upgrade the quality <br /> of this site , we recommend that the site be closed, as it could not be <br /> properly managed. <br /> Printed on recycled paper <br />
