This is a violation <br />of city ordinance. Leaves <br />can enter storm drains and <br />lakes and decay. This creates <br />unwanted algae growth and <br />depletes oxygen needed by fish <br />and native plants. <br />• Burn leaves. Leaf burning is <br />a violation of city ordinance, <br />as well as a nuisance for <br />neighbors. <br />Follow these guidelines to keep <br />city storm drains and lakes clear <br />and healthy. <br />Do: <br />• Add leaves to your backyard <br />compost bin and use them <br />to cover your gardens and <br />plants. <br />• Bring leaves to the Arden <br />Hills Yard Waste Collection <br />Site at 3530 Hudson Avenue <br />(photo ID is required). The <br />site is free of charge and open <br />Monday, Wednesday and <br />Friday, 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 <br />p.m.; Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to <br />5:00 p.m.; and Sunday, 11 <br />a.m. to 5:00 p.m. through <br />November. The site is closed <br />Tuesday and Thursday. <br />Follow Leaf Collection Guidelines to Protect Storm Drains <br />Former Fire Station Foreclosed <br />The former fire station, located <br />at 3246 New Brighton Road, <br />was voluntarily foreclosed. <br />A sheriff’s office foreclosure <br />sale has occurred and the <br />foreclosing bank is reviewing <br />proposals during the two-month <br />redemption period. <br />Valentine Hills Elementary Plans <br />Mounds View School District <br />has submitted an application <br />for a site plan review and <br />amended conditional use permit. <br />The applicant is requesting <br />to construct a 9,000-square- <br />foot classroom addition on the <br />south side of the building and <br />a 1,000-square-foot cafeteria <br />addition.
