Roseville PWET Commission Meeting Minutes Page 5 ~ October 27, 2009 St. Paul Regional Water Service /Reservoir Woods Park Mr. Schwartz reported on the first project meeting held related to planned demolition and reconstruction by St. Paul Regional Water Service of the Reservoir Woods water treatment facility, with plans to take the old one out of service as early as January of 2010. Mr. Schwartz briefly reviewed operational concerns of the City of Roseville and ongoing discussions; potential design issues that could aesthetically change the Roseville skyline, based on the current design on top of the hill overlooking Highway 36 at 30' and talk of increasing it by another 10' to a total of 40', and existing of a very visible 10,000,000 gallon, 220' diameter, concrete tank, raised 12' over the existing reservoir. Discussion included the current square structure type and capacity (30,000,000 gallon capacity being reduced to 10,000,000 gallons), as it currently doesn't' operate as a significant part of the St. Paul Regional system, and only dedicated to Roseville and Arden Hills supply needs. Further discussion included impacts to water pressures in Roseville, with cost implications to boost flaw, with further analysis pending when their design is determined; need for review and approval of an application for a onsite crushing permit from the City of Roseville's Planning Commission and City Council, as well as issuance of Building Permits. Other items under discussion are impacts to the immediately adjacent neighborhood; and recommendation for them to make a preliminary presentation in the near future to the PWET and City Council. Ms. Bloom noted that the proposed footprint of 205' in diameter, versus the current 400' x 400' square footprint would be significantly different. Mr. Schwartz noted that staff was also reviewing any potential impact to the pathway and/or park in that area. Ramsey County /County Road B-2 Potential Reconstruction Mr. Schwartz advised that staff would be meeting with Ramsey County related to the County's proposed design and reconstruction of Snelling Avenue from County Road B-2 to Fairview Avenue. Discussion included road conditions and the need for upgrading the capacity of County Road B-2. Proposed Illicit Discharge Ordinance Ms. Bloom presented a revised draft Ordinance, Section 803, as it related to Stormwater Illicit Discharge and Connections within the City of Roseville, as federally mandated; having incorporated those revisions made by the PWET Commission at their May 26, 2009 meeting. Chair DeBenedet noted that, at the May meeting, the PWET Commission had suggested that a more comprehensive look be given to various provisions dealing with stormwater in various ordinances, bringing them to one place for better efficiencies for staff and making it easier and more understandable for property
