MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS <br />\: FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR <br />PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br />DATE: MARCH 28, 1988 <br />RE: GREENFIELD PARK FILL REQUEST <br />The City of Mounds View plans to complete Spring road sweeping shortly. The <br />City is looking for a suitable dumping spot for these street sweepings. <br />The bection of Greenfield Park along Hillview Road and Quincy is very uneven <br />and low. Future plans for this site include a picnicking area under the <br />trees with permanent picnic tables and grills, horseshoe pits and sand <br />volleyball court. The walking oath also needs to be straightened to lead to <br />the Quincy Street sidewalk. At this time this section of land is so uneven <br />that mowing is almost impossible. Please take a moment to drive by or walk <br />this section so that you can see for yourself the condition of this site. <br />Staff requests City Council approval for dumping the street sweepings in this <br />location at Greenfield Park. This would solve two problems: <br />1. It would provide the City with a place to put street sweepings. <br />2. It would help in the grading of Greenfield Park. <br />This section of the park is designated as wetlands and therefore requires <br />Council approval. Please note that the dumping of street sweepings for fill <br />in parks is an old practice. Most of the City's neighborhood parks have <br />received street sweepings at one time or another. <br />RECOMMENDATION: To approve the dumping of the 1988 city street sweepings at <br />Greenfield Park for ure as fill to assist in the leveling of the land to <br />accommodate a picnic area and assist in easier mowing procedures. <br />4_ <br />
