REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: <br /> 8. <br /> woe Report Number: 93-696WS <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> Off <br /> AGENDA SESSION DATE December 6, 1993 Report Date: 12-1-93 <br /> DISPOSITION <br /> Item Description: Relocation of Compost Site <br /> Administrator's Review/Recommendation: <br /> - No comments to supplement this report <br /> - Comments attached. <br /> Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) <br /> ,SUMMARY; <br /> There has been a long standing hope that someday a new site would <br /> be found for the compost pile currently located at Arden Park, <br /> off of Long Lake Road. 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.
