An idea was suggested that perhaps enough <br />land is available near the golf course site for relocating the <br />compost site to this area. Ron Peterson, who did the wetland <br />work for the golf course was called to do some preliminary <br />estimations for the likelihood of relocating the compost site <br />there. <br />Ron Peterson has staked the wetland boundaries of the portion of <br />land owned by the City off of County Road J east of Sysco in an <br />effort to provide information regarding the possibility of moving <br />the compost pile currently located in Arden Park to this site. <br />As of today (Nov. 30) the area has not been surveyed, but <br />hopefully a map showing the area will be available for the Work <br />Session on Monday, December 6. Also, Ron is looking into <br />possible areas that may be conducive for the location of an <br />archery range. I have received information from Ramsey County <br />Parks and Recreation Department regarding two archery ranges, one <br />located at a golf course site and one located along Lexington <br />Ave. in Shoreview. This information is attached. <br />I spoke to Ron Peterson this morning to relay the message that I <br />would like to have the map of the wetland boundaries and <br />available area for a compost site by Mondays meeting on December <br />6th. He hopes to have the information ready by Monday. I will <br />have whatever information he has prepared at the meeting. <br />The Parks and Recreation Commission has a real interest in moving <br />the compost site from Arden Park for several reasons. One is <br />that the compost site does smell especially during the Spring and <br />whenever the windrows are turned. The site is very popular, <br />being one of the most highly used in the County. However, it is <br />also one of the most cramped sites in the County. The entrance <br />ltl:('t��l li�in\}s ugly and uninviting to park users.
