Drop-off site Evaluation <br />A site evaluation was conducted at each of three proposed organics drop-off site locations <br />within the City of Roseville. The three drop-off site locations of interest were the Leaf <br />Recycling Center located south of County Road C on the east side of Dale Street, the Central <br />Park — Victoria Ballfields, and the Concordia Park — Dale Street Soccer Fields (Figure 2). These <br />sites were selected for evaluation based on Roseville's past efforts to identify a suitable location <br />for a source separated organics drop-off site within city boundaries. Site evaluations were <br />pertinent to this study as they allowed for collection of the qualitative data intended to inform <br />the drop-off site location recommendations in this report. <br />Figure 2. Organics recycling drop-off site evaluation locations within Roseville, <br />Minnesota. (Source: Google Maps, 2017) <br />County criteria for siting new organics drop-off sites were combined with criteria established <br />by the City of Roseville to develop a uniform set of evaluation criteria that was used to assess <br />each of the proposed sites (Appendix D). The main evaluation categories included accessibility, <br />security, parking/traffic, site characteristics, and walkability. Each of these categories <br />encompassed two specific evaluation criteria (Appendix E). <br />Each site was visited and evaluated one time by each of the report authors (referred to herein <br />as evaluators). At each site, the evaluators assigned a yes or no to each of the evaluation <br />criterion on the evaluation criteria spreadsheet where yes indicated that the criterion was met <br />and no indicated that the criterion was not met. The evaluation criteria spreadsheet also <br />included a notes section for evaluators to record additional observations for use when <br />articulating findings and recommendations. Following the completion of all drop-off site <br />evaluations, all yes responses were assigned a value of 1 and all no responses were assigned a <br />value of 0. The average scores for each evaluation criterion, each evaluation category, and each <br />park were calculated by summing and averaging the respective values across all evaluations <br />conducted. Higher values indicated that more evaluation criteria were met, which in turn <br />increased the final level of recommendation assigned to the site. <br />6 <br />
