Roofs, <br />driveway. parking lots, and other impervious surfaces increase the amount of <br />runoff and decrease the amount of soil infiltration associated with this area. <br /> <br />The City of Arden Hills has 15 parks within its City limits totaling <br />approximately 350 acres. The City intends to maintain these park areas, make <br />necessary improvements to the park system, and continue to expand the trail <br />system to connect the neighborhoods to these parks and other trails. The parks <br />are a vital part of the Arden Hills community. <br /> <br />Arden Hills has a D NR -approved shore land ordinance. It is important that the <br />shoreland of lakes be protected and developed in a manner consistent with the <br />Minnesota DNR management standards in order to maintain or improve the <br />quality of the water bodies within the City. <br /> <br />Utilities <br /> <br />Public utilities in Arden Hills include sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and the <br />water distribution system. <br /> <br />Sanitary sewer interceptor and treatment is provided to the City via the <br />Metropolitan Council Environment Services (MCES) system. The City's <br />Sanitary Sewer Utility has jurisdiction over the sanitary sewer collection <br />system within the City's borders. There are currently 20 lift stations that exist <br />in the City. <br /> <br />The St. Paul Water Utility provides drinking water to Arden Hills through the <br />City of Roseville. Once in the City, the City's Water Utility has jurisdiction <br />over the system. There are only two areas in the City that are not served by the <br />City water service. The first is the Old Highway 10 area (Highway 96 to <br />Wedgewood Circle), which consists of single family homes, is served by <br />private wells. The second is TCAAP with its own water supply facility. At <br />this time the City does not know how to most effectively provide water <br />service to the TCAAP area once redevelopment occurs. <br /> <br />The entire City of Arden Hills is not served with storm sewer. According to <br />the City's 1998 External Review Copy of the Comprehensive Plan (page 93), <br />the City requires storm sewer to be installed with the reconstruction of streets. <br />This policy may not always be feasible or practical, so alternate design <br />standards may be used when appropriate. Currently, storm drainage is <br />provided through a combination of open ditches and storm sewer. <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills, Minnesota <br />Local Water Resource Management Plan <br /> <br />A-ARDEN0101.00 <br />Page 21 <br />
