<br />151 Reasons to Keep Open: <br />152 For 76% of Roseville residential properties, the Roseville site is closer than the Ramsey <br />153 County sites, 13% are closer to Ramsey County’s Arden Hills site, and the remaining 11% <br />154 are closer to Ramsey County’s Midway site (Attachment 2). On average, residential <br />155 properties in Roseville are now 1.33 miles from their nearest site, county or City-owned. If <br />156 the Roseville site was closed, the closest Ramsey County site would, on average, be 2.79 <br />157 miles away (Arden Hills, Midway, and Frank & Sims sites). <br />158 <br />159 <br />160 Roseville residents can get compost delivered by the City for a fee. If the Leaf Site is <br />161 closed, the City will no longer offer this service. On average, the City makes 65 deliveries <br />162 per year to residents and the community gardens (revenue averaging $3,250/year). The <br />163 cost to provide this service averages $5,000/year, which includes staff time, equipment <br />164 costs and software for scheduling. Ramsey County does not provide this delivery service, <br />165 but compost is available to pick up at their sites for free for Ramsey County Residents. <br />166 Future Use of the Site: <br />167 If the site is closed, City staff propose to keep the site for Public Works and Parks <br />168 maintenance activities. City staff would keep the Ramsey County Organics recycling at the <br />169 site but would move the containers outside of the gate to where the compost is currently <br />170 stored. Due to chipping use at the site, wood chips would also still be available to residents <br />171 at the site. These would be the only public uses at the site, but all would occur outside of <br />172 the gate. Since there is significantly less wood chips available than compost, overall site <br />173 traffic would be greatly reduced. <br />174 City Wood Debris Management – As discussed previously, Ramsey County no longer <br />175 allows cities to dispose of wood debris at their yard waste sites. If the Leaf Site was closed, <br />176 a portion of the site would be used to store wood debris generated for City-use only. It <br />Page 5 of 8 <br />Qbhf!37!pg!:15 <br /> <br />
