110 adequate base or drainage, so vehicles using the site in the fall or spring can have 111 issues getting stuck when the site is wet. 112 Access – The site is not properly designed for public vehicle queueing, access, nor 113 circulation. This creates many dangerous vehicle maneuvers on or next to Dale Street, 114 which is a county road. For example, when the site is busy, vehicles must queue on the 115 shoulder of Dale Street. Additionally, when residents are loading wood chips or compost 116 when the gates are closed, many residents back in from Dale Street. 117 Illegal dumping – Since the site is not staffed and there are no cameras installed, a lot of 118 illegal dumping occurs. This includes large items like couches and televisions as well as 119 garbage bags. Although the site is clearly signed as a Leaf Site, many residents treat 120 this like a county facility and drop off grass clippings and wood debris. 121 Illegal dumping could be addressed with additional security cameras and/or by providing 122 on-site staff, similar to Ramsey County, but this would increase the cost of maintenance 123 at the site. 124 Non-Roseville residents – The site is only supposed to be for Roseville residents but, 125 since it is not staffed, we know many users are not Roseville residents. Staff receive 126 numerous calls and inquiries from non-Roseville residents about the use of the site. This 127 particularly happens on Tuesdays and Thursdays when the Ramsey County sites are 128 closed. 129 This could be addressed by providing on-site staff, similar to Ramsey County, but this 130 would increase the cost of maintenance at the site and reduce the amount of hours 131 available to residents to use. 132 Contractor use and large mechanical dumping trailers – Ramsey County yard waste 133 sites prohibit commercial dumping. Additionally, since 2023, they have prohibited 134 mechanical or hydraulic dumping trailers. Since the Roseville site is un-staffed, 135 commercial users and large dump trailers use the Roseville site causing it to fill up faster 136 and creating additional problems related to queueing and access to the site. 137 This could be addressed by providing on-site staff, similar to Ramsey County, but this 138 would increase the cost of maintenance at the site and reduce hours at the site. 139 Complaints of odor and noise – Although the site has been at the same location for over 140 40 years, complaints of odor and noise has increased yearly as new residents have 141 moved in, particularly the senior facility at the corner of Dale Street and County Road C. 142 City staff typically only performs operations during business hours from 7:00 a.m. – 3:30 143 p.m. on weekdays. There is a fair amount of noise generated from equipment during 144 compost turning or stacking, especially with back up alarms. When the gates are open in 145 the spring and fall, City staff do perform work on the weekends to push up the piles to 146 make additional room. 147 If the site is closed, odor would be greatly reduced due to the elimination of compost. 148 Overall noise at the site will be less as there will be less operations happening at the site 149 daily. There will likely still be some noise created if the site is used for tree debris, but it 150 would be for shorter time periods. Page 4 of 8 Qbhf!36!pg!:15
