as well as being in close proximity to an incredibly busy 4 -way stop with people <br />backing in to pick-up compost and chips. Member Trainor suggested installing a <br />pad off the east end of the existing parking lot in space not currently being used, <br />especially since those dropping off organics would spend a minimum amount of <br />time and not use up parking space for any significant amount of time. <br />Further discussion on potential design of the site ensued and access issues. <br />Mr. Culver agreed that staff would explore this issue more, and while it may delay <br />start up, suggested more discussion with the Parks and Recreation Commission and <br />to receive public input on a proposed location. <br />Member Wozniak noted that the PWETC appeared to support an organic collection <br />site in Roseville, but the concern was to get a location right and protect the current <br />leaf compost site to avoid any dumping of materials (e.g. grass clippings, etc.) that <br />would serve to further contaminate that compost. <br />Mr. Culver agreed that he had concerns in using the leaf collection sites including <br />how to monitor the site to avoid contractors and non -Roseville residents dropping <br />off leaves at the Roseville site and avoiding drawing any more attention to that site <br />by combining it with non-resident drop off of organics and confusing the <br />availability of city -specific services and programs. <br />Member Misra asked if Ramsey County had an anticipated timeline to move away <br />from this type of collection system and moving toward residential curbside <br />collection of organics. <br />Mr. Springman advised that there was no plan to do so at this point, since the main <br />issue was with route density until it was proven for haulers that there was sufficient <br />interest in organic collections to make curbside service efficient. While the option <br />is probably in the near future, and the city had the option to include organic <br />collections with their municipal organized curbside collection program for those <br />trucks already in the area, Mr. Springman advised that it would require enough <br />interest from residents and at this time there was no estimate of that timeframe. <br />Mr. Culver thanked the PWETC for its initial input and advised that staff would <br />continue internal discussions about other potential sites, and then return with their <br />recommendations to the PWETC at afuture meeting. <br />7. Stormwater Mitigation Requirements Review <br />Mr. Culver noted PWETC discussions over the last few months about the various <br />levels of stormwater management requirements and agencies involved and at what <br />level. Mr. Culver noted that those discussions included what triggered agency <br />requirements, costs associated and the actual requirements of each agency <br />compared to those of the city. <br />Page 8 of 11 <br />
