Roseville 2040 Chapter9: Resilience and Environmental Protection <br />Current and Past Initiatives <br />Tax increment financing (TIF) is a financial tool available in Roseville to assist with <br />cleanup of contaminated soils. The City has used TIF for soil cleanup in the Twin <br />Lakes area, as well as the Gateway Business Center. The City has also created a <br />hazardous soil sub -district in the Twin Lakes area. Within this sub -district, the City <br />can capture the frozen base taxes, which normally go to all the taxing districts, to <br />fund a cleanup plan approved by the MPCA. <br />Trees <br />Background <br />Trees are a significant asset to the Roseville community. They provide color and <br />interest to the urban landscape, filter air, manage stormwater, protect soil, <br />conserve energy, reduce noise, provide wildlife habitat, and positively impact <br />property values. Faced with increased threats from insects, diseases, and higher <br />temperatures, establishing and maintaining tree diversity is critical to the <br />resilience of the urban canopy. <br />Current and Past Initiatives <br />The City of Roseville has been a designated Tree City USA community for over 20 <br />years. The Tree City USA program provides direction, technical assistance, public <br />attention, and national recognition forurban and community forestry programs in <br />thousands of towns and cities across the United States. <br />To protect and preserve the community's established trees as land is being <br />developed or redeveloped, Roseville created a Tree Preservation and Restoration <br />Ordinance (1011.04). The ordinance puts an emphasis on protecting trees, and if <br />needed, replacing trees in a thoughtful manner to restore the canopy that has <br />been disturbed. The Community Development Department and Planning <br />Commission administers the Tree Preservation and Restoration Ordinance. <br />Roseville has also developed a Tree Master Plan to begin diversifying the city's <br />urban canopy, and is currently looking to add more diversity as emerging threats <br />to trees move into the metro area. Since Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) was identified <br />in Roseville in 2013, the City has managed this infestation using the Best <br />Management Practices plan established and implemented in that same year. The <br />Plan requires most of the infested trees on public property be removed. Since the <br />initial EAB infestation, Roseville has planted 180 trees on City boulevards. The Tree <br />Master Plan calls for planting a differenttree species approximately every 500 feet <br />and has been used to guide this reforestation. The City Tree Board and City <br />Forester administer the implementation of the Tree Master Plan. <br />Chapter9 I Page <br />
