. , . . . . . ""' I I I I . I L 8.15.01 As areas develop and redevelop, SlOrmwater runoff increases. Roofs, driveway, parking lots, and other impervious surfaces increase the amount of runoff and decrease the amount of soil infiltration associated with this area. The City of Arden Hills has 15 parks within its City limits totaling approximately 350 acres. The City intends to maintain these park areas, make necessary improvements to the park system, and continue to expand the trail system to connect the neighborhoods to these parks and other trails. The parks are a vital part of the Arden Hills community. Arden Hills has a DNR-approved shoreland ordinance. It is important that the shoreland of lakes be protected and developed in a manner consistent with the Minnesota DNR management standards in order to maintain or improve the quality of the water bodies within the City. Utilities Public utilities in Arden Hills include sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and the water distribution system, Sanitary sewer interceptor and treatment is provided to the City via the Metropolitan Council Environment Services (MCES) system. The City's Sanitary Sewer Utility has jurisdiction over the sanitary sewer collection system within the City's borders. There are numerous lift stations that exist in the City. The St. Paul Water Utility provides drinking water to Arden Hills through the City of Roseville. Once in the City, the City's Water Utility has jurisdiction over the system. There are only two areas in the City that are not served by the City water serviee. The fIrst is the Old Highway 10 area (Highway 96 to Wedgewood Circle), which consists of single family homes, is served by private wells. The second is TCAAP with its own water supply faeility. At this time the City does not know how to most effectively provide water service to the TCAAP area once redevelopment occurs, The entire City is not served with storm sewer. The City requires storm sewer to be installed with the reconstruction of streets. This poliey may not always be feasible or practical, so alternate design standards may be used when appropriate. Currently, storm drainage is provided through a combination of open ditches and storm sewer.
