. building? Users of the HHW site would have sufficient queue space and would only be parked momentarily. 7. Screening - Appears Consistent with Code Requirement. Currently there are Black Hills Spruce coniferous trees which surround the "yard" area of the property. The proposed SUP amendment would relocate 8 of these trees in the area proposed for the site to be relocated to the north of the used oil and HHW site. This new location would maintain the natural screening around thc "yard" area of the site. The proposed SUP amendment also calls for screening around the dumpster which would be located to the east of the used oil building. Thc drawings seem to include a wooden privacy fence which would shield the dumpster to the north and east, to thc west would be the proposed building, thcrc would be no screening to the south which faces the internal portion of the site. A wooden privacy fcnce or other similar screening would be prefcrablc to make sure that the dumpster was adequately screened from view. 8. Traffic, Access, and Circulation - Code Requirement Met. There should not be much impact to traffic patterns or to the access and circulation of the site. Thc proposed used oil and HHW collection site would be located out of the way at the far northwestern portion of the site. Typically the scasonal HHW sites are only open on . Fridays and Saturdays and only for a month or two. Most of the users of the HHW sites are likely to arrive on Saturdays when the Public Works Facility is not being used. The used oil collcction building is proposed to be open 24 hours and year round. Since the collection building will bc open all of the time, it is not likely to have much of a peak in the amount of traffic it would gcncrate (would likely come and go sporadically during the day and evening). Traffic on Ben Franklin is limited to vehicles visiting the Ramsey County facility and National Guard vehicles, so there should be limitcd traffic impact on that roadway. The National Guard did requcst that Ramsey County install certain road signs to minimize any potential impact on the safety and security oftheir operations. Overall thc traffic from the proposed used oil and HHW site should not interfere much with the operation of the Public Works Facility and should also not have much impact on traffic patterns at Highway 96 and Hamline Avenue. 9. Grading and Utilities - Code Requirement Met. The City Engineer has previously reviewcd the plans provided by the applicant and did not believe that the proposed SUP Amendmcnt would impact thc City of Arden Hills' utilities or infrastructure. 10.
