BACKGROUND The 1994 Budget includes $85,000 for the expansion of the Public Safety Department communication center and ventilation system changes. Budgeted financing for this project and the replacement of the Gladstone Fire Station is a $1,185,000 bond issue. A November 1994 referendum is planned to obtain the necessary voter approval required for the bond issue. The budgeted financing for these projects was determined in 1993 when the 1994 Budget was prepared and approved. The 1993 Annual Financial Report indicates that the ending balance in the General Fund exceeded the budget by over $796,000. The size of this surplus is unusual and was primarily due to department heads restraining expenditures. For comparative purposes, the surplus balances in the prior three years were $536,000 in 1992, $641,000 in 1991 and $397,000 in 1990. Because of the unusually large surplus balance at the end of 1993, it would be appropriate to use $85,000 of it to finance the Public Safety Department project. There are two major advantages of financing the project by using surplus money in the General Fund. First, it would make it easier to explain the November referendum to taxpayers if it is limited to replacement of the Gladstone Fire Station. Second, it would eliminate 20 years of interest expense on the project as 20 -year bonds will probably be issued for the fire station. The disadvantage of financing the project by using surplus money in the General Fund is that it would increase the General Fund property tax levy for 1995 by $85,000. However, this is a small amount compared to the city's total tax levy which was $8,021,250 for 1994. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that expansion of the Public Safety Department communication center and ventilation system changes be financed by a transfer from the General Fund. w:\agn\psimp AGENDA NO. -F -w3 TO: City Manager AGENDA REPORT FROM: Finance Director by C ounc i l Endorse ..w..�..�.... M o di f i e d .. ,. ...... , Rea ectedw.:. Dad RE: REVISED FINANCING PLAN FOR COMMUNITY CENTER CONSTRUCTION PROJECT DATE: May 2, 1994 PROPOSAL It is proposed that the financing plan for the Community Center construction project be revised to provide that $121,000 of the cost be financed by a transfer from the Park Development Fund instead of from the Tax Increment Fund. BACKGROUND Tax increment revenues in 1993 were less than anticipated. Also, in 1994 the tax increment revenues will be less than anticipated. This is because Ramsey County has granted tax abatements and has decreased the valuation of property in the tax increment districts. Consequently, tax increment revenues will not be sufficient in 1994 to finance some of the Community Center construction costs. The shortage is anticipated to be $121,000. The Park Development Fund had a balance of $1,710, 175 on 12-31-93. This exceeded the budget by $381,052. This $1,710,175 balance will be used to finance many park development projects over the next several years. On 12 -31 -99 the balance is projected to be $363,000. This surplus balance could be used for other park development projects or it could be used to finance part of the Community Center construction costs. Another method of financing the $121,000 needed for the Community Center construction cost would be by a transfer of surplus money from the General Fund. The 1993 Annual Financial Report indicates that the ending balance in the General Fund exceeded the budget by over $796,000. The size of this surplus is unusual and was primarily due to department heads restraining expenditures. For comparative purposes, the surplus balances in the prior three years were $536,000 in 1992, $641,000 in 1991 and $397,000 in 1990. Because of the unusually large surplus balance at the end of 1993, it would be appropriate to use $121,000 of it to finance a portion of the Community Center construction costs. The disadvantage of financing the project costs by using surplus money in the General Fund is that it would increase the General Fund property tax levy for 1995 by $121,000. The surplus balance in the Park Development Fund should be used to finance the $121,000 needed for the Community Center construction costs because it is not needed for any specific park development projects through 12 -31 -99 and this option would be better than an increase in the General Fund property tax levy for 1995. If additional money is needed for park development projects, property taxes could be levied when the need arises. However, it is unlikely that a shortage would develop for several years because the Park Development Fund had a 12 -31 -93 fund balance of $1.7 million. After the construction of the Community Center is complete, the financing plan can be implemented or revised. However, it is important to revise the financing plan now as tax increment revenues in 1994 will be less than anticipated. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the financing plan for the Community Center construction project be revised to provide that $121,000 of the cost be financed by a transfer from the Park Development Fund instead of from the Tax Increment Fund. w: \agn \comctrfi AGENDA NO. ) C:O :wdl AGENDA REPORT TO: City Manager FROM: Assistant City Manager o` RE: VACANT LOT WEST OF 1646 BURKE AVENUE DATE: May 3, 1994 INTRODUCTION Action by Counallor Endorsed,..,* Nodifi ReJecto Date $0ANN IN At the April 28, 1993 meeting, the City Council declared Lot 1, Block 2, Pflueger's Addition to Gladstone to be excess property and directed staff to talk to interested buyers. The purpose of this report is to present an offer of $5,200. BACKGROUND The residents residing at 1646 Burke Avenue are still interested in the westerly lot adjacent to their home. Other property owners in the area were contacted. However, they were either not interested or wanted the property donated for a parking lot (I. S. D. 622). The City's appraisal stated that the land is very difficult to establish a price, because the parcel does not have general market appeal. The real value is that amount that it would add to an adjacent residential tract if combined. The appraisal stated that it is worth approximately $1 per square foot or about $4,800. The adjacent homeowner to the east has submitted an offer through their attorney. The offer is $5,200. This price will cover the cost of the appraisal and associated legal fees. Copies of the offer and a location map are attached. RECOMMENDA71ON It is recommended that the City Council authorize the sale of the vacant lot west of 1646 Burke Avenue for $5,200 to the residents at 1646 Burke Avenue. STAPLETON, NOLAN & MCCALL P. A.

Mayor Bastian + tho ApRrnvp the Preliminary Plat with the Bondi ions to be completed before 122rovil of e Ejnjl P-1at 1) Have the City Engi.neer approve the .final construction plans. These plans shall include the grading, tree- preservation, street, utility, erosion control and drainage plans. The erosion control plan shall be consistent with the Ramsey Soil and Water Conservation District Erosion Control Handbook. Revise the grading play to contain the 100 -year high water level of 980.3 on the site. 2) Give the City an easement for a wetland buffer zone. This easement shall prohibit any mowing, cutting, filling or dumping, including yard waste, within ten feet of the wetlands or within the wetland in front of Units 11 and 12. 3) Revise the plat as follows: a. Make sure all driveways for individual units are at least eighteen feet long. b. Provide a 20 -foot setback between Units 9, lo, 13 16 and 17 and the wetland boundary. c. Dedicate a drainage easement around the wetland on the site's west side. This easement shall match the 100 - year flood elevation. d. Show the wetland boundary on the plat, as approved by the Watershed Board. If on the site, include the wetland at the southeast corner of the site and the connecting channel. e. Make sure that every effort is made to maximize the distance between Units 11 and 12 and the wetland. 4) Sign an agreement with the City that guarantees that the developer will complete all public improvements and meet all City requirements. This agreement shall require that the developer: a. Place temporary fencing and signs 5 feet beyond the dripline of all trees that the developer will save, as possible. b.

MEMORANDUM Modi Rej set Dat TO: CITY MANAGER FROM: PAULINE STAPLES, ACTING PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR SUBJECT: INVESTIGATE HIRING AN ARCHITECT FOR WESTERN HILLS PARK DATE: MAY 2, 19 94 INTRODUCTION THE PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION HAS CONDUCTED A SURVEY OF THE RESIDENTS IN THE WESTERN HILLS PARK NEIGHBORHOOD. SURVEY'S WERE MAILED TO RESIDENTS IN THE WESTERN HILLS PARK LOCATION REQUESTING THEIR COMMENTS ON CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE MADE IN THE PARK. THE SURVEY HAS BEEN TALLIED WITH MANY POSITIVE COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED. THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO INVESTIGATE HIRING AN ARCHITECT TO SUBMIT DESIGNS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SURVEY RESULTS AND NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS, FOR WESTERN HILLS PARK. RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO INVESTIGATE HIRING AN ARCHITECT TO DESIGN WESTERN HILLS PARK AS PER THE APPROVED PARK PLANNING PROCESS. FUNDING WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE PARK DEVELOPMENT FUND. nwi MEMORANDUM TO: City Manager FROM: Thomas Ekstrand, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit and Design Review PROJECT: Golden Star Apartments DATE: April 21, 1994 INTRODUCTION Description of the Project Aotion by Coup i1 t Endorse Modif i e R I ; Dat Golden Star Properties is proposing four changes to the Golden Star Apartments (formerly the Larpenteur East Apartments). (See the maps on pages 9 -10.) They are proposing to do the following: 1. Build 53 garages in four separate buildings. The garages would have tan vinyl siding and brown asphalt shingles to match the apartment's colors. Each garage unit would be separated with plywood or chipboard. (Refer to the drawings on pages 13 -15.) 2. Pave a 24- foot -wide driveway to McMenemy Street and remove any asphalt within 25 feet of the McMenemy Street right -of -way. 3. Move the parking lot on the west side of the building closer to the apartments. This would allow for a 24- foot -wide drive aisle. The Code requires a minimum drive aisle of 24 feet. 4. Build two trash enclosures. There would be one along the freeway frontage road and one at the site's northeast corner. The applicant proposes to build these out of eight- foot -long fence sections. Refer to the site plan on page 11 and the enclosed drawing. Request The applicant is asking for a conditional use permit (CUP) to expand a nonconforming use. The parking lots all have nonconforming setbacks from the south, north and west lot lines. The applicant proposes to build the garages at these same setbacks. The Code requires that the garages along the frontage road and Larpenteur Avenue have a 30 -foot setback from those lot lines. The applicant proposes five feet. The Code requires that the northerly garages have a 20 -foot setback from the north lot line. The applicant proposes seven feet. Reason for the Request The owners are having a problem with cars being vandalized. They feel that they can attract better tenants by having garages. There is not enough space available on the site for the applicant to add the garages and meet the setback requirements. (Refer to the letter on page 12.) BACKGROUND These apartments have been one of the worst apartment projects in the City. the present owner recently purchased the project and is making significant improvements. on January 11, 1994, the City Council requested that the County give the City a $500,000 love- interest loan for the rehabilitation of the Golden Star Apartments. DISCUSSION Conditional Use Permit The City Council should grant the CUP. The proposed garages would bring the apartments closer to Code compliance. The Code requires one garage for each apartment or 109 garages. The garages would not negatively impact any neighbor and would buffer the apartments from the freeway. They would be neater than open parking and would ..protect residents' cars. The proposed southerly garages would line up with the established setback of the dwellings to the east. The northerly garages would not affect :adjacent uses. The properties to the north are the rear yards of a single dwellings. There are no buildings along the frontage road. Chief Collins is concerned about the garages reducing the surveillance opportunities. The City should require site - security lighting on the site and around the garages, subject to the Chiefs approval. Parking Spaces The code requires 218 parking spaces._ The plan shows 135 spaces with the garages. The open spaces are ten feet wide. The Code allows a minimum width of 9.5 feet. The spaces are not now striped. The developer should stripe the parking lot with 9.5 -foot- wide spaces where this would add parking spaces. Reducing the parking space widths would add two more spaces. The garages will reduce the potential parking spaces by two. Parking is not a problem now because the building is not leased up. The developer expects to have the building 95% leased up by the end of June. 2 Proposed Driveway to McMenemy Street The Fire Marshal will not allow the fifteen garages along Larpenteur Avenue without a driveway to McMenemy Street. He feels that the people may park in front of the garages and block the driveway. If this happens during an emergency, he wants two means of access to this drive. The Code requires that the proposed driveway be at least thirty feet from the Larpenteur Avenue right -of -way. The Director of Public Works has approved the proposed 25 -foot setback because of the limited amount of traffic anticipated from this driveway. Neighbors' Concerns Two neighbors stated that "the apartment owner should upgrade the types of renters in the building." The new garages would improve the apartments and increase the potential for drawing good tenants. The garages would improve the site's appearance by screening the remaining open parking. "City should not bend the rules, if so, what good are they." Enforcing the City's rules is important. However, in this case there are conflicting rules. One rule requires 55 garages. Another rule requires minimum setbacks. The applicant cannot meet both rules. The City needs to decide which rule is more important. There are special circumstances with this application. The proposed garages would benefit the property as noted above. The variance is necessary because there is not enough area available on the site to add garages and still meet the setback requirements. "There has been a problem with noises three seasons a year. The garages should have a fire and noise barrier, preferably concrete block." This comment is from the abutting neighbors to the north. The Building Code would require aone -hour rated fire wall for the garages because the setbacks are less than ten feet from the lot lines. When these neighbors made this comment, the applicant had been proposing a row of twenty garages along the north property line. The current proposal is for eight garages at the furthest point along the north line that is away from the neighbors. These garages should not affect the neighbors. RECOMMENDATION A. Adopt the resolution on page 17. This resolution approves a conditional use permit for 321 East Larpenteur Avenue. The permit allows four garage buildings, with a C total of 53 garages, to be built with the current parking lot setbacks at the Golden Star Apartments. The permit is based on the findings required by the Code and subject to the following conditions: 1. All construction shall follow the site plan approved by the City. The Director of Community Development may approve minor changes. 2. The proposed construction must be substantially started within one year of Council approval or the permit shall end. The Council may extend this deadline for one year: 3. The City Council shall review not review this permit again unless there is a problem. B. Approve the plans (stamped April 20, 1994) for four garage buildings (53 garages) and two trash dumpster enclosures at the Golden Star Apartments, subject to the findings required by the Code. The property owner shall do the following: 1. Repeat this review in two years if the City has not issued a building permit for this project. 2. Sweep and stripe the parking lot. The owner shall submit a parking lot striping plan to the City for approval. This plan shall show 9 1/2- foot -wide parking spaces where additional parking spaces can be gained. There also shall be handicap- parking spaces and handicap- parking signs provided that meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 3. Stain the trash enclosures a color matching the building. The enclosures must extend to the ground to contain debris. The enclosures and gates must be 100% opaque. There shall be concrete -filled steel posts anchored in the ground at the front corners of the enclosure. (code requirement) 4. Provide site - security lighting, subject to the approval of the Director of Public Safety. (code requirement) 5. Provide a drainage plan to the City Engineer for approval. 6. Install continuous concrete curbing for all new parking lot and driveway edges. (code requirement) 7. Mark the "no parking" area along the north lot line, subject to the Fire Marshal's approval. 8. Move the two mail boxes that are in the location of the proposed driveway. 4 9e Install a stop sign at the McMenemy Street drive, 10. All work shall follow the approved. plans. The Director of Community Development may approve minor changes. 5 CITIZENS' COMMENTS I surveyed the owners of the 47 properties within 350 feet of the apartment site. of the fifteen replies, seven were in favor, two objected, five had no comment and one had a miscellaneous comment. In Favor 1. I believe it will improve the quality of tenants, but they must be maintained and left clean. (Vandenbeusque, 1724 McMenemy Street) 2. We would like to see the apartment area cleaned up. (Rawlings, 1705 Edgemont Street) 3. It will attract better tenants to the buildings. It has no negative impact that I can see at this time. (Azzone., 1723 Edgemont Street) 4. It will improve the area. (McGough 1977 Summer Avenue) 5. Hopefully it will increase the value of the property and get a better class of renters. It looks like the new owners are improving the property. I am glad of that because it was getting to be a real eye sore not to mention all the fire department calls. (Carm*tsch, 1740 McMenemy Street) 6. If it upgrades this property and makes it more suitable for responsible tenants it meets our approval. (Anderson, 1689 Edgemont Street) Opposed 1. If you bend the rules for this management, what good are the rules? This establishment only rents to Riff Raff and should not receive any consideration for anything! ((Morelli,. 1658 Westminster Street, St. Paul) 2. We have a problem with noises excessive at times three seasons a year and the fear of fire. Install and maintain afire /noise barrier (preferably concrete block) the full length of the north line. It must be high enough to detour any climbers. The garages would then be acceptable. (Rasmussen and Tatro, 1733 McMenemy Street) Miscellaneous Comment I would hope it would upgrade the types of renters in the building. Make it an apartment for senior citizens. We need and request safety.

Larpenteur, would.like to request a variance to the city ordinance requiring minimum set backs for new buildings. We are attempting to build garages on the property. Enforcement of the city ordinance requiring minimum setbacks from property lines would make our proposal unfeasable. The garages cannot be built without the variance because of the physical limitations of the property. The apartment building was built in 1967 and allowances were not made for future buildings. The variance would not alter the essential character of the area and instead would enhance the area by providing a sound abatement to Highway 35E on the western property line. The garages on the north would also serve as a buffer between the single family residential and the apartment complex. In addition, the garages would add security for residents of the complex and contribute to the overall revitalization and rehabilitation of the property. The variance, if granted, would allow us to approach the guidelines of today's city ordinance which states that amultiple- family dwelling must provide one garage for each apartment on site. There are 109 units and we would like to build 53 garages. We appreciate your timely consideration of this matter.

Mr. Rossbach explained the G MW 4 Z MEMORANDUM TO: City Manager FROM: Director of Community Development SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Review— Compost Site LOCATION: Beam Avenue, between Highway 61 and Hazelwood Ave. DATE: April 8, 1994 INTRODUCTION Acton by CounciI Endorsed,. Modifie ft ReJecte Data The City Council should review the conditional use permit (CUP) for the County compost site on Beam Avenue. (See the maps on pages 10 and 11.) Residents have complained about odors from the site. BACKGROUND In 1984, Hubbard broadcasting (the property owner) signed an agreement with the City to allow a compost site on the property. In 1986, Hubbard Broadcasting gave the City permission to expand the compost site. On January 1, 1990, a State law went into effect that prohibits haulers from collecting yard waste with household garbage. Haulers will pick up yard waste separately, but they charge extra. On November 25, 1991, the City Council approved a CUP for this compost site subject to seven conditions. (See the recommendation on page 5.) During August- September 1992, the staff surveyed property owners around the compost site about odor problems. We asked residents to rate odors as significant, slight or no detectable odor. From August 24 -30, five out of nine residents who replied noted a significant odor at some time. From August 31- September 6, one out of seven residents who replied noted a significant odor at some time. From September 7 -13 three out of seven residents who replied noted a significant odor at some time. From September 14 -20, three out of eight residents who replied noted a significant odor at some time. During April -May 1993, the staff surveyed 56 property owners around the compost site about odors from the site. We asked the property owners to record the time and degree of odor each day from April 18 through May 15, 1993. (See the survey results on page 8 and the map on page 12.) (Note that the County cooperated with the 1992 and 1993 surveys.) DISCUSSION The Need for a Compost Site The State law about yard waste has increased the need for compost sites. Property owners have three options for disposing of their yard waste. They may pay their haulers extra to pick up yard waste, compost it in their yards or take their yard waste to a compost site. The Maplewood site is the busiest of the eight compost sites in the County. The following chart shows the usage and amount of material collected at the Maplewood site. About half the users are Maplewood residents. In 1993, the amount of yard waste received was unusual because of the high rainfall. The Odor Problem The City should approach the odor problem in two ways. The first is to establish objective procedures to verify and measure odor complaints. The second approach should be to implement ways to reduce the odor problems. Concerning the first point, an odor consultant would train City employees to verify or measure odors. The environmental health officer would respond to complaints during the day and the police department would respond at night. If the City inspector detects a significant odor, he or she will measure it or call an independent testing company to measure the odor. We are researching the costs and availability of testing companies. The inspector would use a scientific testing method. Based on the testing scale, the conditional use permit would set specific odor limits. The County would p a Y for the training and testing. Concerning the second point, the City's environmental health officer believes that the strongest odors come from turning or moving the old piles of leaves that are still decomposing. There is very little odor from hauling out the finished compost or from pushing the freshly dumped leaves together. In reviewing the results of the City's 1993 survey, we did not find a direct correlation between the day the County turned the piles and when residents noted strong odors. 2 Cubic Yards (CY) CY Managed CY Transferred Y_ ear Number of Visits Received On -site (leaves) (uass) 1990 60,000 19,123 10 9,123 1991 62,497 13,613 5,905 7,710 1992 60,491 22,477 17,317 5,160 1993 66,901 27,480 21,240 6,240 In 1993, the amount of yard waste received was unusual because of the high rainfall.

There is very little odor from hauling out the finished compost or from pushing the freshly dumped leaves together. In reviewing the results of the City's 1993 survey, we did not find a direct correlation between the day the County turned the piles and when residents noted strong odors. 2 The odors only effect the people downwind of the site. County personnel are now monitoring their contractors to make sure they only work on the piles when the wind is blowing away from nearby homes. The golf course kept records of the wind direction on their survey sheets. From this we can tell who should have been effected on any given day by the odors from the site. The survey results are consistent with the wind directions. Some odors arise from handling grass clippings. Grass clippings that have been sealed in a plastic bag for a couple of days can be very smelly when they are dumped. The County does not compost grass clippings on site. They stopped this after trying it for one summer in 1989.. The County collects the grass on site and then removes it. In 1990 and 1991, the County had the grass removed from the site twice weekly. In August 1992, the County started having the grass removed three times a week to reduce odor problems. The County plans to try something new this year. After removing a pile of grass, they will place lime on the site to cut down on odors and will rotate drop -off areas on site. The County has implemented several operational changes that address odor issues. (See the memo from the County on page 13.) Composting Concepts Site in Woodbury Woodbury had an odor problem with a commercial composting site. Composting Concepts operates a 20 -acre composting site in Woodbury. The site is only available to commercial haulers. Residents complained of the smell to Woodbury. The closest neighbor was one - fourth mile away. When the Woodbury staff checked on the odor complaints, they did not note the objectionable odors that the complainants did. In 1991, the Woodbury City Council revoked the interim special use permit for the site and gave Composting Concepts one year to move their operation. Composting Concepts took the City to court. The judge strongly encouraged the City and Composting Concepts to work out a negotiated settlement. In 1992, Woodbury and Composting Concepts negotiated a new interim special use permit for the site. The agreement was to close the site after five years. The permit has standards for site management as well as procedures for testing and verifying odors. (See the permit on page 16.) Since adopting the permit conditions, the City of Woodbury has not had a complaint about odors. The City attributes this to the site operator learning how to manage site odors. Options The odor problem has several options. I have placed them in order of restrictiveness: RI 1. Change the permit conditions to monitor and control odors better. 2. Deduce the site size to reduce the amount of material that may be causing the smells. The County would have to haul leaves away that could not be composted O on si te. 3. Close the site in the summer. This is the prime grass growing and dumping season. Grass is a source of smell. This option would limit the collection of grass clippings. 4. Turn the site into a transfer station for leaves, as the County is now doing with grass. This would end composting on the site, but would increase the County's costs by about $85,000 to $135,000 per year. Also, by transferring leaves from the site, compost would no longer be available by users of the Maplewood site. Providing compost to the public has been a popular service. 5. Require that the composting site close in a specified number of years. Woodbury required that Composting Concepts close in five years. 6. Close the site by ending the CUP now. Woodbury tried doing this without success. The Maplewood site is the busiest compost site in the County. Closing the site under Options 5 or 6 would create the following problems: 1. The other composting sites are not as convenient for the .thousands of people who use the Maplewood site. The nearest County yard waste sites are the compost site south of Lake Phalen and the White Bear Township site that borders Shoreview near the Anoka County Line. According to the County, these two sites have little or no area for additional yard waste. As a result, the County would have to transfer the additional yard waste brought in by current users of the Maplewood site to private disposal sites. This would result in a considerable cost to the County. 2. Finding a better site in this area would be difficult. This site has many advantages. These include the distance from homes (at least 500 feet) and the existing vegetation and topography screen the site from surrounding properties and help to limit access to the site. Additionally, site access is easy to control (it requires no fencing) and the entrance is on an arterial street. 3. There would be an increase in the amount of yard waste that people put in their garbage and an increase in illegal dumping. Compost sites create odor. The challenge is to manage the odors so they are not a nuisance. Before considering more restrictive options, the City should start by seeing what we can do to reduce odors by site management. Woodbury has been successful 4 with this option. Site management is the key to controlling odors. Charles Cannon, executive vice president "of The 'Composting Council (Alexandria, VA), states: Odor control is a critical management challenge for composting operations. The single most important cause of odor formation is inadequate management of organic q g g material. Site management may include limiting the amount of material stored on the site, turning the piles whenever necessary to minimize odors (done only when the wind is blowing right), the use of deodorizing sprays or regularly removing the grass clip n s. pp g However, there may be people who will object to even the slightest odor. We are recommending several changes to the , permit that we hope will reduce site odors. If these steps - do not work, the City - may have to consider the more restrictive options. RECOMMENDATION Approve the resolution on page 23. This resolution revises the permit conditions as follows: ( I have underlined the additions and crossed out the deletions.) 1. The site may be open to the public between March 24 and December 6 of each year. 2. The site may be open to the public between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. 3. The County shall provide at least one monitor at the site for all hours that it is open to the public. If the City or County determines there is a need for more site monitoring, the County shall assure that the site has adequate monitoring. 4. The site shall accept only the following. materials: wood chips garden waste, lawn cuttings, weeds, prunings of soft bodied plants, leaves along with materials like pine cones, fruit and small twigs that people pick up with their yard waste. 5. The City prohibits the dumping or storing of the following materials: ra h; V. 9 brush, branches, garbage or refuse °f t ° *° 6. The County shall have the grass clippings removed from the site at least three times a week (Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays) or other days if necessary to help prevent objectionable odors 7. The City Council shall review this permit at the end of 1994 ' e 5 8. The County shall manage the compost site to minimize the amount of objectionable odors. Management vrocedures shall include the followin a. Procure, maintain and use wind direction and speed monitoring equipment at the site. The County shall provide this a upment so it is accessible to the City staff. b. Record wind speed and direction every two hours during pile turning and the haul -out of materials. c. During April throuzh October, turn the wiles of materials only when the wind is blowing from the southeast, south or southwest and at least five miles per hour. During November through March, the wind must be calm or from the east south or west. The piles shall only be turned between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on Mondgy through Friday. d. Keep a written record of: The times of pile turning and the haul -out of materials Compost pile temperatures A description of the compost quality The initial date and aging of the compost piles 94, The Community Devel opment Department shall handle odor complaints durin regular business hours and the police department shall handle odor complaints after regular hours. The inspector shall verify and measure whether there is an odor that violates the odor standards of this permit. To determine if there is a violation of this permit, the inspector shall follow the procedures in Attachment A of this permit. A violation of this permit, shall occur when the inspector has recorded ten sniffings of the ambient air over a period of thirty minutes with a geometric average OIRS of (a) 3.0 or greater if the property at which the testingis being conducted contains a permanent residence, or (b) 4.0 or greater if the propeM at which the testing is being conducted does not contain a permanent residence. (See Attachment B of this permit for a description of the odor scale.) If there is a violation, the inspector shall investigate to establish the source of the odor. The City shall notify the Cou= of the violation. The County shall advise the City of the reason for the problem and correct it to meet the standards of this permit. The Cou= or site operator shall cooperate with the City or its representative regarding such investigations. 10. The County shall deposit with the Citv an escrow deposit of $5,200 for 1994. Thereafter, on or before January 1 of each year the County shall deposit with the City an escrow deposit of $2,000. The City shall use this deposit to: a. ... Pair for City staff time or the costs to hire a third party to verify and measure odors, following complaints received by the City b. Train Ci , staff persons and others for wind and odor monitoring c. Pay for an odor consultant to assist in preparing this permit or future revisions to this .permit. At the end of each calendar year, the City shall refund to the County any of the deposit not used by the City.If needed, the County shall pay, for anv consulting costs above the escrow deposit that the City needs to reevaluate this permit. 11. The site operator shall use water to suppress dust from the compost piles, as necessary NEIGHBORHOOD SURVEY We asked 56 property owners around the compost . site to complete afour -week survey about odors from the site. We received fourteen surveys back. Ten of these surveys noted. a significant odor problem sometime during the four weeks. The other four responses noted a slight or no odor problem. (See the map on page 8.) We received the following comments from the survey: 1. Most odors are in the summer when grass clippings are dumped. odors are especially bad when piles are turned. (Mark Pride - 1429 Kohlman) p y p g 2. I do wish they could do something about the odor. (Richard Maki - 2813 Hazelwood) 3. On the 22nd and 23rd (April) we had a lot of customers complaining about the smell. (Country View Golf Course - 2926 North Highway 61) 4. Because our house is on a knoll and somewhat protected from the site, we don't get the odor as badly as many of our neighbors do. Sometimes we can't smell anything at our house, but find the odor very strong in another part of the yard, sometimes less than 100 feet away. We're lucky enough to have both central air conditioning and a central air filter -- opening the windows would be unpleasant at even the times marked 11 1"; at the times marked "2" it's impossible to open windows or spend any time outside at all. The smell this week was absolutely unbearable at the times marked -quite frankly, it was an overpowering smell. We stayed in the house with the windows shut and the air filter running. I can't imagine how some of our neighbors closer to the site were able to cope. (Kathy Stevenson and George Farr - 2730 Clarence) 5. The majority of the times when the odor is at its worst, are when the compost has been turned and the wind is from the northeast. other times the odor is bad is when the air is very still. Us neighbors have all agreed we felt coerced into signing against the compost (Sletten petition) . Some days the smell is awful, but we rather that it- was there than something else. (William Knabe -1428 Kohlman) 6. Thank you for your concern. There has been no problems. (Emerson - 1257 Kohlman) 7. This is different from last year when we had to close our windows and it was still strong. Thanks. (Marilyn Buesing - 1247 Kohlman) 8. I'm sorry that I didn't pay close attention. There was only once at 3062 Hazelwood that I smelled significant odor. I was driving home one night and was located at Beam and Hazelwood. Sorry! (Uhlenbrauch - 3062 Hazelwood) In addition to the survey, there is a letter on page 15. REFERENCE Code Requirements Section 36-437(l) of the City Code allows the City Council to approve a conditional use permit for a public utility, public service or public building uses in any zoning district. Section 36- 446(a) of the City Code allows the Council to suspend or terminate a permit if the approved conditions have been violated or the use is no longer in effect. Section 36 -446 (b) of the City Code says that the City Council may review a permit at any time. If the Council decides to consider adding, dropping or changing conditions, this requires a review of the permit by the Planning Commission and a public hearing with the City Council. County versus Non-County Residents Using the Compost site Most of the people who use County compost sites are County residents. In 1991, the County did a survey of 191 compost site users. This survey showed that 8 people or 4.2 %came from outside of the County. A survey of 280 site users in the summer of 1993 showed that 19 people or 6.8% were from outside the County. A survey in the fall of 1993 showed that 3 out of 155 or 1.9% of the site users lived outside the County. go /b- 6:compost2.mem (3) Attachments: 1. Location Map 2. Property Line /Zoiung Map 3.

Since last summer the Division has directed the County's vendor to onl y turn compost piles at the direction of Division staff. The D iv isio n has obtained a hand -held wind monitor, and is currently trying t find a source for a vandal- resistant windsock that could be installed at the site. When the piles are to be turned, typically about once a month during the warmer months and somewhat less often during winter, Division staff use the wind monitor to record the speed and direction of wind. If the wind is from a southerly direction during the warmer months., or is calm during the winter months (because the wind rarely blows from the south during winter), Division staff direct the vendor to turn the compost piles. The vendor usually is on site within about an hour. Division staff typically records the wind speed and direction twice while the piles are being turned, in case there is a significant . change n wind direction or speed. 2. The Division has had its vendor haul out grass clippings three times per week since the summer of 1992.. The vendor is required to record the quantity of yard waste hauled out per day and to forward that information to Division staff* Since summer of 1993 Division staff has also maintained a written record of when piles have been turned, the wind speed and direction at the time, the temperature of the piles as measured by Division staff with a temperature probe, and i the date when each pile s initiafied and the type (i.e., 1eaves from spring versus leaves from fall) of waste in each. pile . 3. During 1994 the Division will be monitoring biological conditions of the compost piles so that the piles are turned when biological • p • • h conditions indicate that turning is necessary. The piles should be turned before the oxygen within the piles has diminished such that anaerobic (oxygen - starved) conditions prevail that can produce offensive odors. Also, turning the piles at the optimum time diminishes the amount of time required to Complete the composting process. Because a very large volume of leaves 'is' received and 13 Minnesota's First Home Rule County . printed on recycled paper with a minimum of 10% post - consumer content �,'" AFSCMIE composted at the Maplewood site, it is important that these leaves be converted to compost as soon as possible, and then made available to residents Key indicators of biological conditions within the compost piles are P tem erature and moisture. The Division will have a soil moisture meter available for the 1994 yard waste season, to determine when moisture content of each pile is low and supplemental moisture needs to be added. 4. The Division on an ongoing basis has had potholes on site filled to prevent pond formation and has maintained drainage at the site to prevent water collection. Both of. these measures are intended to prevent collection of water and potential resulting odor. During the summer months in 1994 the drop -off area at the site will be alternated so that each area will be able to dry out, thereby minimizing odor potential. In addition, during 1994 the Division intends to apply pulverized limestone directly onto the surface of the drop -off area as an additional step to thwart potential odor formation. 5. The County has an extensive program through a contract with the Minnesota Extension Service in Ramsey County to encourage reduction in yard waste. The Extension Service, through use of Master Gardeners and other means, has been disseminating a variety of information regarding the benefits of leaving grass clippings on the lawn and how to compost yard waste properly on a resident's own property ( "backyard composting over time, these educational efforts should result in p changes in behavior that can help to reduce the amount of yard waste managed at the site. 14 January 20, 1994 Mayor Gary Bastian City of Maplewood 1830 E. County Road B Maplewood, MN 55109 Dear Mayor Bastian: P LC C.�.,`�'� L Sol, �— 6 This morning I called and left a message for Bob Winger about the Beam Avenue compost site, but I thought you should also be aware that the odor problem has continued into the winter to an unprecedented degree. My husband and I have participated in the last two surveys about the site, and in oiir comments we noted that the odor problem was most seve in certai kinds of damp, still weather (for example, in the fall) or when the compost was tieing moved. For some reason, however, the smell has continued to occur through the winter--even during the recent subzero temperatures, which has never happened before. Late last night and early this morning the odor was truly awful, even though the temperature was well below zero. We're lucky enough to have a central air filter that we are willing to run all t:he time, so we're not. affected by the smell indoors as much as some people must b e, bait it does waft in every time we open an outside door. This morning the smell was very strong even in our tuckunder garage /workshop. We also had a very unusual experience today: we.drove to a business and went inside, and when we came back out and opened the roar doors, we were both staggered by how strong the compost smell was. We had brought it with us inside the car! As a long -time organic gardener, I fully support the principle of composting, and I understand that efforts have been made to reduce the smell by changing the management practices at the site. Unfortunately, since we purchased our house in the summer of 1990 the smell has gotten stronger and more frequent, rather than better, which would seem to indicate a real problem with the composting process at the site. I also understand that it's difficult for you or other employees to know how bad the smell can get, since it is almost always at its worst well outside of office hours, I'm sure you are not only aware of the problem, but are working to find some sort, of solution. I did want you to know about the current status of the problem, however. If temperatures of thirty degrees below zero don't keep the smell down, what can we expect come spring? Quite frankly, it's a pretty grim thought! Sincerely, f , Kather�'ne Stevenson 2730 Clarence St. N. Maplewood, MN 55109 15 7320'7F: AMENDED INTERIM SPECIAL USE PERMIT COMPOSTING CONCEPTS, INC.

The following definitions shall apply in the interpretation and enforcement of the Composting Concepts, Inc. Interim Special Use Permit. 2. Ambient Air. "Ambient air" shall mean that portion of the atmosphere external to buildings upon the property owned by the complainant. 3. Perceived (sensory) odor intensity. The perceived odor intensity shall mean the intensity of an odor sensation which is independent of the knowledge of the odorant concentration. 4. Odor Intensity Referencing Scale (OIRS). The OIRS shall mean a series of concentration of butanol odorant in water, made to specific reference dilutions, which serve as the reference scale. The OIRS is used to establish which concentration (of butanol in water) exhibits an odor intensity matching that of the ambient air. Referenced Document: ASTM E 544 -75 88, Standard Practice for Referencing Suprathreshold Odor Intensity. 5. Odor Source. "Odor source" shall be defined as the compost site operated by Composting Concepts, Inc. 6. Inspector. The inspector shall mean the individuals who compare the odor intensity of the ambient air to the reference scale. The inspectors for this Amended Interim Special Use Permit shall be those employees of the Washington County Public Health Department, or their agents, trained in accordance with ASTM STP (Special 'Technical Publication) 758, Guidelines for the Selection and Training of Sensory Panel Members. B. Odor Testing 1. This odor testing practice is designed to reference the odor intensity of the ambient air on an OIRS. This is done by a comparison of the odor intensity of the ambient air to the OIRS. 2. The odor of the ambient air is matched (ignoring differences in odor quality) against OIRS by trained inspectors. The inspectors report that point, or in between points, on the reference scale which, in the trained inspectors' opinion, matches the odor intensity of the ambient air. 3. The procedure followed for this testing shall be in accordance with Procedure B - Static -Scale Method of the Referenced Document ASTM E 544 except for the following adaptations for field odor evaluation. 3.1 The geometric progression scale shall have a ratio of 3. 3.2 The containers holding the reference Concentrations of butanol in water shall have screw cap closures. 20 3.3 The inspectors may memorize the OIRS. 3.4 The inspectors may use a charcoal filter breathing mask to avoid olfactory adaption (fatigue) in the ambient air. 3.5 The inspectors shall smell the ambient air and match the ambient air intensity to the reference scale. 3.6 The inspectors shall rest (breathe charcoal filtered air) for a period of three minutes in between sniffings of the ambient air. 3.7 The odorous sampling shall be performed upon the complainant's property. The inspector shall not be accompanied by the complainant and the results shall not be released until a written . report has been filed. The inspector shall not commence or conduct the odorous sampling if the complainant is present. 3.8 The inspector shall also sample the ambient air immediately up wind from the compost site to determine the presence and level of any odors entering the site from other sources, which records and observations shall be a part of the written repo rt. 4. The OIRS shall have the categories of Numbers, Words and Descriptions listed in Attachment B. 5. A violation of the Special Use Permit shall occur when the inspectors have recorded ten (10) sniffings of the ambient air over a period of 30 minutes with a geometric average OIRS value greater than a) 3.0 if there is a permanent residence upon the property, or b) 4.0 if the property does not contain a permanent residence.. 21 Attachment B Odor Intensity Referencing Scale Categories Category N- Butanol (PPM) in air /in water 0 No Odor 1 Very Faint 25/250 2 Faint 75/750 3 Distinct, Noticeable 225/2250 4 Strong 675/6750 5 Very Strong 20.25/20250 22 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT RESOLUTION WHEREAS, the Director of Community Development is requesting that the City Council change the conditional use permit conditions for a compost site on Beam Avenue; WHEREAS, this permit applies to the property on the south side of Beam Avenue, west of the railroad right -of -way. The legal description is: Lots 81 -84, Gardena Addition in the North 112 of the SW 114 of Section 3, Township 29, Range 22. WHEREAS, the history of this conditional use permit is as follows: 1. On April 4, 1994, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve these changes. 2. On May 9, 1994, the City Council held a public hearing. The City staff published a notice in the paper and sent notices to the surrounding property owners. The Council gave everyone at the hearing a chance to P speak and resent written P statements. The Council also considered reports and recommendations of the City staff and Planning Commission. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the conditions for the above - described permit shall read as follows: 1. The site may be open to the public between March 24 and December 6 of each year. 2. The site may be open to the public between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. 3. The County shall provide at least one monitor at the site for all hours that it is open to the public. If the City or County determines there is a need for more site monitoring, the. County shall assure that the site has . adequate monitoring, g 4. The site shall accept only the following materials: wood chips, g arden waste, lawn cuttings, weeds, prunings of soft bodied plants, leaves along With materials like pine cones, fruit and small twigs that people pick up With their yard waste. 5. The City prohibits the dumping or storing of the following materials: brush branches, garbage or refuse. 23 60 The County shall have the grass clippings removed from the site at least three times a week (Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays) or other days if necessary to help prevent objectionable odors. 7. The City Council shall review this permit at the end of 1994. 8. The County shall manage the compost site to minimize the amount of objectionable odors. Management procedures shall include the following: g a. Procure, maintain and use wind direction and speed monitoring equipment at the site. The County shall provide this equipment so it is accessible to the Cit staff. b• Record wind speed and direction every two hours during pile turning and the haul -out of materials. c. During -April through October, turn the piles of materials only when the wind is blowing from the southeast, south or southwest and at least five miles per hour. During November through March, the wind must be calm or from the east, south or west. The piles shall only be turned between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday. d. Keep a written record of: (1) The times of pile turning and the haul -out of materials (2) Compost pile temperatures (3) A description of the compost quality (4) The initial date and aging of the compost piles 9. The Community Development Department shall handle odor complaints during regular business hours and the police department shall handle odor complaints after regular hours. The inspector shall verify and measure whether there is an odor that violates the odor standards of this permit. To determine if there is a violation of this permit, the inspector shall follow, the procedures in Attachment A of this permit. A violation of this permit shall occur when the inspector has recorded ten sniffings of the ambient air over a period of thirty minutes with a geometric average OIRS of (a) 3.0 or greater if the property at which the testing is being conducted contains a permanent residence, or (b) 4.0 or greater if the property at which the testing is being conducted does not contain a permanent residence. (See Attachment B of this permit for a description of the odor scale.) If there is a violation, the inspector shall investigate to establish the source of the odor. The City shall notify the County of the violation. The County shall advise the City of the reason for the problem and correct it to meet the standards of this 24 permit. The County or site operator, shall cooperate with the City or its representative regarding such investigations. 10.

The issue regained visibility in October 1992 when epidemiologist Melvin Kramer, head of Envi ronmenW Health Associates in BaLtimor,e tcs- ti led before Congress about health risks to resi- dents in a two -mile radius of composting plants. .A month earlier, Al Rubin, them chief of EPA's sludge risk assessment branch, had written to Re . N.Y. that " a p Thomas Manton (D- N.Y.) the location of sewage sludge composting facility in proximity to population centers could create Siga fficant human health impacts and that epidemiological studies must be conducted prior to siting these facilities" (Sludge, Oct. 13, 1992, p. 161). Marian had asked for Rubin's opinion about the health and enviro n - menEal impacts of biobulids M em p mfice s.

The question of how threatening these Asp+ergill us emissions were took another twist March 17. Gov. Mario Cuomo's (D) &rector of consumer affairs called for a shutdown of the plant until further studies could be done. 'While the study did not find that the higher con entra- tton of mold spores increased health problen u among residents near the plant, it indicated that such a connec- tion might, in fact, b present and that futnrre scud y wa s needed to come to a definitive conclusion," wrote Con- surner fairs Director Richard Ke ssel to Islip offi * *• As a lesson for compost operators elsewhere, Islip highlights the balance some communities must Mike between serious resident coil == and what constitutes a health risk.

"We went looking for some way to verify what was going on with her," recalled her husband, Den- nis Hors who, along with his dau nts, began experiencing respiratory problems. "we started holding neighborhood meetiW and ran into a lot of other people who were sick." The seed of organized concern among San Jose residents started as an informal survey ind - eating "70 percent of the people we conta#" had symptoms that they never had before," Hersley said. "We canoe up with these tremendous num bers of people who were sick. Asthma -- everybody in the family," he said. Such signs pointed to a yard waste composrinS site operand by the city since July 1992 through a contract with a private operator. The inquiry by residents became more scientific, uhinaately leading too a blood survey of more than 300 reside= in De- cember.

Sod can be delivered to the site under certain conditions. In some cases it is incorporated into the piles, in other cases it is separately piled. The County distributes leaflets (see attached) each year to users of the site which, in addition to showing information such as site hours, describe acceptable and unacceptable materials at the site. For certain materials, such as pine cones, apples, and straw, small quantities are acceptable. Large quantities of such materials, such as entire pickup loads, are not acceptable because they are more difficult to manage than leaves and grass clippings. Site monitors are allowed some degree of discretion in determining how much of such materials are acceptable. Monitors are equipped with cellular phones and are instructed to call the office for clarification if necessary. Ash is not an acceptable material. We are not aware of any incident of ash being deposited at the site. The gate was left open when the piles were being turned and at least eight cars came in and dumped waste even though the site was not supposed to be open. The site hours are clearly posted on the sign at the gate and in the leaflet handed out to each site user. Hence, the occupants of these cars should not have used the site even though the gate was open. The County provides its contractor for maintaining the compost piles and transporting yard waste with a gate key, because most work is performed when the site is not open to the public. This contractor mistakenly left the gate open, and is not in the habit of doing so. We.have informed this contractor that the gate must be locked at all times except when exiting or entering the site. The only entities that legitimately have keys are the following. staff of the Division of Solid Waste; the City Environmental Officer, Fire Department, and Policy Department; the County's contractor; the refuse hauling firm; and the portable toilet firm. Bags are dumped at the gate. Dumping occurs when the site is closed. Some illegal dumping occurs at all of the Ramsey yard waste sites, as occurs at other public places. It is impossible to stop such dumping entirely because there will likely always be a small number of irresponsible persons who will dump waste improperly. One of the duties of the site monitors is to remove all illegally dumped material from the gate area each day. The equipment contractor is also responsible to assist with removing dumped material. Because the sites are operated on all days but Tuesdays and Thursdays, the longest period that illegally g p ega ydumped waste would be left at the gate during the months when the site is open to the public would be a day and a half. Yard waste, in and out of bags, is dumped along Hazelwood when people get to the site too late. Who pays to pick up trash on Beam Ave. and Highway 61? There will probably always be a few irresponsible persons who will dump waste illegally. The Division of Solid Waste will continue to try to work with the City of Maplewood to ensure that there is routine Police patrolling of these and other roads near the compost site. The cost for cleaning up trash is borne by the City for City streets, the County for County roads, and the State for State highways. According to Mike Kane, street foreman for the City of Maplewood engineering department, some dumping does occur, especially on P y , Hazelwood Street near County Road D. He stated that the waste is usually in bags, is very easy to clean up, and is not a big problem. He estimated that his crews picked up bags of yard waste along . g Hazelwood an estimated seven different times last year while they were cleaning up other debris on City streets, such as mattresses, oil filters, etc. According to Mike Richard of the Ramsey County Public Works Department, in 1993 crews may have been sent out to Beam Avenue twice specifically to pick up about a half dozen bags each time, for a total time of about half an hour and a total cost of under $100. With regard to Hy. 61, Keith Shannon and Dave Hagel from the MDOT Maintenance staff have indicated that the total amount of debris and the total amount of yard waste debris cleaned up in the stretch of Hy. 61 near the compost site (basically between County Road C and 1 -694 is about the same as for other highways. Both of these staff persons travel this stretch of road very frequently, and neither have seen any indication of increased dumping of yard waste in the vicinity of the site. Specific costs for yard waste cleanup are not available. There must be household garbage at the site because of the woodchucks and rats that come from the site. According to U.S.D,.A. animal control specialist Dick Wetzel, the forest and wetland area in and near the compost site is suitable habitat for woodchucks, regardless of whether or not a compost site is there. The specialist said that woodchucks also may come to the less developed portions of this area to escape people and noise. He knew of no reason why the compost site would either attact or deter the woodchucks. He said that rats are generally attracted to many foods favored by humans. Neither County staff nor the City Environmental Officer have seen either woodchucks or rats on the compost site. Food waste is unacceptable at the site, and is not allowed to be dumped. Site monitors examine materials brought in for composting by residents, and ensure that no bagged waste is left on site. The County provides a dumpster on site for trash that is collected. The dumpster is emptied weekly. There has been very little household garbage placed at the compost site in recent years. Each year Sentence -to -Serve workers police the compost site for debris. In April 1994 only two half bags g of waste materials, very little of which were garbage (i.e., food scraps). It should be noted that the City leases, and the County operates, part - -not all - -of a parcel of land owned by KSTP. Attached is a background paper on woodchucks, prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and distributed by the Cooperative Extension Service. WATER QUALITY /LEACHATE ISSUES What is the sensitivity of the water table aquifer to pollution? Soils in the wetland are Seeleyville Muck, and are not good for this activity. The peat under the site wont absorb leachate like a loam soil will. The Division of Solid Waste is working with other agencies, including the DNR, Soil and Water Conservation District, and Ramsey /Washington Metro Watershed District, to determine the effect of runoff and leachate from the yard waste site on water resources. The yard waste and finished compost on the site is not managed on Seeleyville Muck,.but instead on Chetek Sandy Loam and on soil and gravel materials placed on the Chetek soils. According to the City Environmental Officer, the area used for windrows on the south side of the site was created by the City from the existing hillside and from excess sand and clay materials from the construction of Maplewood Mall, not by filling of a peat area. Ongoing movement by front end loaders to turn and move yard waste and compost has affected the pad to some degree. On most of the pad there is a layer of old compost on the gravel. Because of its dark color, this old compost may have been thought to be peat. The pad on the north site was created by smoothing out the topography in the Chetek soils and by adding large amounts of compacted gravel. Both pads are sloped, and the windrows have been aligned, to direct stormwater runoff away from the windrows to avoid ponding on site (some ponding does occur on the south pad because the pad needs to be regraded, a task which the Division of Solid Waste will have performed during 1994, probably in the summer). This runoff generally runs off into the Seeleyville Muck soils located between and to the west of the north and south pads. These mucky soils, formerly the location of a sod farm, can be expected to serve as a filter -- between the compost site and surface water - -for any nutrients and BOD (biological chemical demand) in the runoff. Leachate is created from contact of precipitation that may seep into decomposing windrows, along with moisture created by microorganisms in the decomposition process. This leachate is comparable to the leachate generated in any area, such as a forest, where breakdown of vegetation is occuring naturally, and the produ of such breakdown come into contact with water and snowmelt. Because only a small portion of the material composted is grass clippings, the leachate probably does not have a high level of nitrates, as compared with. composting sites which compost large quantities of grass clippings. According to an article in The BioCycle Guide to Yard Waste Com ostinc� ("Strategies for Problem Prev ention, ' The JG Press,, ,I nc. , 19 T.,eachate from leaf composting is generally not toxic, but may deplete the dissolved oxygen in water (due to excessive BOD of the leachate), if deposited directly in water supplies. This source states that. In order to prevent this potential polllution, leachate should not be allowed to enter surface water without prior treatment. This treatment might consist of simple percola- tion down into or through the soil, or passage through a sand barrier constructed to intercept the horizontal flow. In passing through the soil or sand, the leachate is both physically filtered and biologically degraded to remove a substantial portion of the pollutants. Contamination of ground water does not appear be a problem associated with leaf composting. An article in The BioC cle Guide to The Art and Science of Com posting (Richard, Tom, and Matt C ails y t ro ental Impact of Yard Waste Compost, ", 1991), cited phenols and BOD as two organic constituents in leaf composting leachate that are considerably higher than the levels desirable for discharge into surface water. The article states that both phenols and BOD are parameters that can be substantially reduced by soil degradation processes, and the levels found in the author's study of a site in New York State would not be expected to contaminate groundwater supplies. What potential is there for runoff from fertilizer and pesticides in grass clippings? See attached summary of research regarding potential runoff from fertilizer and pesticides in yard waste. In general, while very small quantities of pesticides and fertilizer can make their way into surface water under certain conditions, the levels are below levels of concern. Fertilizers (except "weed and feed" formulations, which also include pesticides) are simply another form of nutrients, just as grass clippings are. SITE OPERATION ISSUES Where is the yard waste transferred to? Through a request for proposals (RFP) process implemented by the County Division of Solid Waste and the City of Saint Paul /Ramsey County Joint Purchasing Division), the County has contracts with several vendors for disposal of yard waste. These current contracts are for one year, but can be renewed for additional years if certain conditions are met. These vendors, located in Anoka, Washington, Dakota, and Carver Counties, either landspread the waste or compost I t. These vendors must be in conformance with State and local regulations to be considered for a contract with Ramsey County. Does the County do any inoculating of windrows? No. The general consensus in the practical and scientific literature reviewed by County staff is that inoculating of windrows with microorga:aisms is not necessary. Microorganisms that help to break down yard waste are carried to the windrows with yard waste and with finished compost remaining at the base of the composting area. The fact that the County has been able to produce a finished compost within about a year without expensive equipment or innoculants attests to the fact that innoculation is unnecessary. Composting expert Clarence G. Golueke, in an article in The BioC,ycle Guide to The Art and Science of Composti.,nq ("Putting Pri.ncip a into Successful Practice.." The - T Press, Inc., 1989), states, "The number of bacteria is rarely a limiting factor in composting, since bacteria are always present in great abundance on all exposed objects....Inoculation would be of value to the composting process only if the bacterial population in any emerging environment were unable to develop rapidly enough to take full advantage of teh capacity of the environment to support it...,Inasmuch as any group of bacteria is capable of multiplying at a pace equal to that of its developing environment, the addition of similar organisms as an inoculum would be superfluous." Does the County measure moisture at the piles? Does the County monitor temperatures at the piles? In the past the County has turned and otherwise maintained the windrows based on a variety of factors, including the time since the previous turning, budget restraints, and equipment availability, along with wind direction. Beginning in 1994 the County is monitoring the biology of the compost piles to determine when to turn the piles. To do so, the County is or will be monitoring moisture with a moisture meter, temperature with a long temperature probe, and wind with a hand held moisture meter and wind sock. Currently, the County is measuring temperatures of windrows several times per week at the site. When will the smaller windrows start? Will there be a space between the piles? Earlier this spring the County began to divide the larger windrows into smaller windrows. There were three large windrows of partially decomposed yard waste and two large windrows of finished compost on the south side of the site. The finished compost was moved to the front (north) side of the site in April. The remaining partially decomposed yard waste is being divided into smaller windrows approximately eight feet high by 12 feet wide. The windrows have about eight feet between them to allow space for equipment for turning the piles. Why can't the area between north and south areas of the site be used for windrowing? This area is comprised of mucky soils, and cannot be used for windrowing. What about expanding the site- -there is land for sale nearby? The current site has essentially been a joint effort of the City of Maplewood and Ramsey County since 1984. The site has good highway access, is located near a large number of generators of yard waste, and the land is provided without charge. Because little of Ramsey County is undeveloped, including Maplewood and nearby areas, it would likely be very difficult to find another parcel which would advantages over the current site, and the purchase of land would likely be very expensive. The County told the City Council that the piles would be on a gravel base, but instead they are on peat and have standing water. This is not correct. The yard waste and finished compost on the site is not located on peat but instead on Chetek .Sandy Loam and on soil and gravel materials placed on the Chetek soils. According to the City Environmental Officer, the area used for windrows on the south side of the site was created by the City from the existing hillside and from excess sand and clay materials from the construction of Maplewood Mall, not by filling of a peat area. Ongoing movement by front end loaders to turn and move yard waste and compost has affected the pad to some degree. On most of the pad there is a layer of old compost on the gravel. Because of its dark color, this old compost may have been thought to be peat. Because the layer of old compost is not perfectly smooth, some ponding has occurred. The County Division of Solid Waste will have the pad smoothed out, probably during the summer of 1994. The pad on the north site was created by smoothing out the topography in the* Chetek soils and by adding large amounts of compacted gravel. .The pad on the south side of the site has a slope of 2.5 -3%%. The pad on the north side of the site has a slope of 1 -2.5%. On both pads, the slope parallel to the windrows is about 2.5 %. How many cubic yards of yard waste do you have out there and on how many acres? As of May 2, the south side of the site currently has approximately 7,100 cubic yards of partially decomposed yard waste on about 2.1 acres of land. Approximately 4,500 cubic yards of finished compost was moved during April from the south side to the north side of the site, to make it available for distribution. The north side of the site is about 1.5 acres in size, only a portion of which is available for composting. During the spring of 1994 about 5 cubic yards of material has been deposited to date. Because most of the yard waste to be brought to the site between .early May and the fall leaf season will be grass clippings which will be hauled off site, there will probably not be much more yard waste remaining on ite until fall. The 5,800 cubic yards of material will rapidly diminish in size as .initial decomposition takes place.' Some of this material will remain on the north side to be composted. The remainder will either be brought to the south side, if there is sufficient room, or will be hauled off s Guidelines for the amount o yard waste to be placed on a si vary in different composting manuals. The MPCA's Introduction to Compostin suggests an average of 3,000 to 3,500 cubic yards o yard waste per acre. According to an article in The BioC cle Guide to Yard Waste Com ostin ("Guidance in State: Manuals , " The JG Press,, Inc , 1989T,, Michigan recommends 3,500 -5,000 cubic yards per acre, and Connecticut recommends 3,500 -8,000 cubic yards per acre, for leaf composting.

Percent Percent 18.0% 22.5% 23.5% MPCA Guidelines are not being followed. The site should have a grade, per the MPCA guidebook (Introduction to Composting). The site should have a liner, per the MPCA guidebook. There should be daily monitoring, per the MPCA guidebook. Why aren't there berms, leachate control, drainage control, etc., per the MPCA Guidebook? There are State rules on composting (Minn. Rules 7035.2835) that must be followed by all composting operations involving solid waste (except backyard composting; other rules apply to composting of materials such as animal manures that are not mixed with solid waste). These rules acknowledge the major differences between yard waste composting and composting of other types of solid waste. Operations that accept strictly yard waste are treated as permit -by -rule facilities. Facilities complying with certain basic requirements in the State rules regarding location, notif ication to the MPCA, operation, and reporting are issued a letter from the MPCA stating that they are a permit -by -rule facility in accordance with MPCA requirements. After these rules went into effect in 1989 Ramsey County sought and received permit -by -rule approval from the MPCA for the Maplewood and the other seven yard waste sites. The State rules for composting require that yard waste composting operat comply with only a portion of the rule because composting or co - composting (usually with sewage sludge) of mixed waste has a much higher potential for environmental and public health effects if not done properly. Introduction to Compostinq is a guidebook developed by the MPCA for yar waste compos i.ng an also municipal waste composting and co- composting. According to its author, Roberta Wirth of MPCA, this guidebook was developed five years ago as a component of a training course conducted by the MPCA in composting. Many of the recommendations in this manual are not dictated by State rules. Instead, they are guidelines developed by the MPCA based upon their review of various types of information. A review of literature available on yard waste composting reveals that many specific guidelines in the MPCA manual are similar to those cited elsewhere, but that there are also some differences on some items. For example, according to an article in The B oC cle Guide to Yard Waste Compostinq ( "Guidance in State Manuals," The JG Press,.Inc.., $ ), Connecticut recommends a minimum 2% slope, which is similar to the.2 -3% grade recommendation in Introduction to Composting but Minnesota, Michigan, and Connecticut have different recommendations on the volume of yard waste per acre of land (see discussion above). Grade. Introduction to Compostinq recommends that a yard waste composting site s 0ul�be s lg t y graded with a two to three percent slope. County staff have measured the slope at the Maplewood site. The pad on the south side of the site has a slope of 2.5 -3%%. The pad on the north side of the site has a slope of 1 -2.5 %. On both pads, the slope parallel to the windrows is about 2.5$. Liner. Neither State rules for yard waste composting nor Introduction to Compostinq guidelines state any need for a liner at a yard waste composting facility. The person asking this question mistakenly cited the guidelines for mixed municipal solid waste composting /co - composting facilities. Daily monitoring Introduction to Com ostiPei- does recommend daily temperature monitoring o compost pi es. W n asked about the requirement, Roberta Wirth stated that it is aimed at MSW composters to assure pathogen destruction, which is not an issue with yard waste composting. In the past the Division of Solid Waste has only taken temperature readings on an irregular basis because the piles were turned based on factors other than the specific biological characteristics of the composting piles (e.g., equipment availability and budget considerations). Berms leachate and drainage control. The yard waste section of the guidebook states that surface water drainage must be controlled to prevent runoff movement i.ntfo lakes, streams, and ground water. There are no specific requirements for berms. See previous discussion under Water Quality. When the Maplewood site was located did you look at locational 1> considerations The eight County yard waste sites were located in the early to mid 1980's in cooperation with cities and, in Saint Paul, district neighborhood councils. A review of correspondence in the County's files indicates that locational factors included convenience to residents, including having a distribution of sites throughout the County, highway access, visual buffering, not placing the site on a wetland, and availability of land. TRAFFIC Traffic concerns on Beam Ave. -- westbound vehicles sometimes execute U -turns on Beam to access the compost site. It is our understanding that the City of Maplewood Community Development Department will work with the City Police Department to ensure that the Police routinely check Beam Avenue for traffic violators during busy times at the compost site. The Division of Solid Waste has provided the Community Development Department with information on when the busiest times are likely to occur. The site attracts traffic to the south side of the site (traffic coming into Kohlmann St. and Co. Rd. C). It is not clear to us how the site could attract much traffic to the roads south of the site. There are only two places - -the cul -de -sac of Clarence Street and the northern terminus of Fitch Street, both north of Kohlmann Street- -where someone might try to drive to illegally dump waste on property near the south side of the compost s i.te . Again, the Division of Solid Waste is working with the City Community Development Department to ask the City Police Department to routinely patrol this area. The Division of Solid Waste is willing to provide signs ( "No Dumping" or something similar) to the City that could be posted at these locations, should the City so desire. ODOR AND DUST ISSUES The odor is incredible, overwhelming, mostly when it is calm, fog and with a NE wind. The odor is objectionable, smells sometimes like wet tea bags, at other times like a hog farm, is pungent and sometimes smells like vomit. The odor can come and go. What site activity caused odor at -30 ° F? The natural process of breakdown of organic materials by microorganisms produces odors, whether on a forest floor, in a swamp, or at a composting facility. A variety of gases can be produced in the breakdown process, some of which are detected by the human nose. Whether or not an objectionable odor is produced depends on many factors, including which gases are produced at a particulate time, the intensity of the gases, the wind direction and speed, and an individual's sensitivity to particular gases. Unpleasant odors at compost sites tend to occur when anaerobic conditions are present, meaning conditions with low oxygen levels that favor certain types of microbiological activities that can produce certain unpleasant gases. The Division of Solid Waste is taking many steps to minimize the presence of anaerobic conditions, including: • having grass clippings removed three times per week (this has been done since the summer 1992); . reducing the, size of windrows, to allow more air to move through the windrows, similar to the way a chimney operates; • monitoring biological conditions of the windrows through .measurement of temperatures and moisture levels so that piles are turned when biological conditions indicate that turning is necessary; . only turning windrows when certain wind speed and direction conditions are present; regrading of the south pad to minimize ponding; • alternating the drop -off area on the north pad for grass clippings; • spreading lime on the drop -off areas for crass clippings; and . continuing, through a Contract with the Minnesota Extension Service in Ramsey County, to encourage reduction in yard waste, such as continuing to disseminate information regarding the benefits of leaving grass clippings on the lawn. Lime: you told us two years ago lime would not work, but now you say you will use it--what caused the change? Cant you spray small amounts of lime on the piles? . .During the summer months in 1994 the drop -off area at the site will be alternated so that each area will be able to dry out, thereby minimizing odor potential. In addition, during 1994 the Division intends to apply pulverized limestone directly onto the surface of the drop -off area as an additional step to thwart potential odor formation. To control odors in the windrows, the Division is implementing the steps outlined above to minimize odors caused by anaerobic conditions. A review of literature on composting suggests that lime may help to suppress odors by neutralizing certain organic acids produced during the composting process. To have an effect on a windrow, however, the lime would have to be incorporated into the pile with some type of spraying equipment while the piles were, being turned. In 1991 ago a resident suggested the use of lime sludge from the Saint Paul Water Treatment Plant. However, following discussions with that facility, the Division of Solid Waste determined that using this sludge for odor control would not be feasible. the sludge is 78% water, and some type of special equipment would be needed to haul and incorporate the material into the compost piles. A concern with using significant quantities of lime is that it ; ^ould raise the pH of the finished compost. Ramsey County's compost, consistent with testing results elsewhere, generally has a pH of 7.5 to 8.0, or slightly alkaline. According to an article in BioC cle (Glenn,, Jim, "Odor Control in Yard Waste Composting," November 0), Bruce Fulford, director of composting activities at the Tellus Institute in Boston, states that adding lime will - increase the pH of the material being composted, and with pH above 8 the likelihood of emitting ammonia increases. An article in Waste Acme ( "DeGrane, Susan, "Giving Composting a Try," January 1991) a`o t an Illinois yard waste facility indicated that the operators were concerned about dangers to persons applying lime. Does the large berm the RR was on help create a microclimate that helps hold in odors? It is possible that the railroad right -of -way berm could help create a microcli.mate. .s ergi,llus fumigatus concerns: One household is archaeologists who have prior exposure and mold sensitivity. Another household has allergies and at times has to go to the one air conditioned room in the house. Have you done studies on mold and fungi? Can you guarantee that no airborne pathogen will have an adversely affect? A summary of research findings concerning Aspergillus fumi atus is attached at the end of this document. We cannot guarantee t at an airborne pathogen will not affect your child, just as we cannot guarantee that no airborne pathogen will be generated from any other natural or man -made source. OTHER ISSUES Property values in the area are depressed by the site, even thought the County Assessor says property values are going up along with taxes. Determining the positive or negative effect of any land use (e.g., new highway, park, compost site, shopping center) on nearby properties requires careful study. The purpose is to determine, based on analysis of property transactions, if a pattern emerges in property values and what the cause or causes of the pattern are, if any. Certain nearby land uses may serve as an attraction or detraction to a prospective buyer of a house but may not warrant consideration b u another buyer (for C • e . ye example, are many examples in the Twin Cities of expensive homes being built very close to mad or freeways) . .Examination of property transactions requires determination of which sales are "arms - length" transactions (e.g., not sold to a relative) and an examination of entire costs, including financing. Without such a study, the Division of Solid Waste does not currently have information to determine if the compost site has had any effect on property values. Concerns about fire at the site and.in the wetland. There have been two fires at the eight County yard waste sites during the past ten years, ,including one at the Maplewood site. Both fires i. were controlled without incident. Once n a compost pile, yard waste is usually quite moist. During a drought period, fresh leaves could be more flammable. The County has provided the Maplewood Police and Fire Departments with keys so that they may obtain access to the site at any time in case of fire or any other reasons. The City Fire Marshal will examine the site in early May to review fire safety issues at the site. Are complaints common at other sites? What is it about the Maplewood site that causes it to get.more complaints? 'The County has received very few complaints (directed to County or .city personnel) at its other yard waste sites over the 8 -10 years that the sites have been in operation. Other than at the Maplewood site, there have been only six complaints since 1990: two complaints regarding the Mounds View site (both from the same person in 1993), two complaints regarding the District 16 site in Saint Paul (both from the same person), and two complaints concerning the District 5 site in Saint Paul (one each in 1993 and 1994). Will the County prepare a comprehensive analysis by the end of 1994 that is correlated with neighbors' complaints? The County will work with the Community Development Director to determine what information is required for the permit review at the end of 1994. Should a public entity (versus a private entity) be able to operate such a facility in a residential area? The City of Maplewood and Ramsey County have been in a cooperative venture since 1984 to provide and operate a yard waste site. Because this is a drop off cite for residents, it had to be located at a convenient distance for residents in the east and northeast side of the County. The land where this site is located is not zoned residential, but is zoned M1, or light industrial. Whether or not the public or private entities should be similarly treated is a local issue. Don't you suspect that larger trucks using the site are commercial businesses? It is.County policy that the yard waste sites are only for residents dropping off yard waste. Commercial enterprises are not allowed. Site monitors are trained to question anyone who appears to be a commercial enterprise, such as larger trucks hauling larger quantities than residents would typically haul to a site, or trucks with signs or equipment (mowers, rakes, etc.) that might indicate they were a landscaping or lawn service. This system of monitoring appears to work reasonably well, although some commercial enterprises, such as smaller, unmarked trucks, might be able to use a site without arousing suspicion. How long have Ramsey County's yard waste sites been in place? How much longer do you plan to have them in place at the same locations? Ramsey County's yard waste sites have been in place since the midi- 198.0 These sites were developed in cooperation with their host cities, and also in Saint Paul, with the district neighborhood councils. The sites were initially provided as a service to residents who wished to "recycle" their yard waste into compost instead of placing 'it in the trash when the State yard waste ban went into effect in 1990, use of the County's sites increased dramatically. These sites are a very popular public service supplied b the County. The ' Y e County periodically has examined other alternatives for provision of yard waste services. Because the service is popular and generall has been workin y g well, it is anticipated that the sites will .remain in operation indefinitely. d ft hard waste (yard east) rz. 1 1. lea-v-es, grass clippings and other soft- bodied plants State la«-s says: You can't mix it... «7ith other trash.

They save time, energy and produce less waste. • • Mow when grass is 2 1/2" to 3" tall. Set mower blade to cut no more than one -third of the surface at any one time. • Mow on a regular basis, making sure the mower blade is sharp. Regular mowing reduces the need to bag grass clippings. Short clippings filter down to the soil and decompose quickly. • Don't bag grass clippings. Leaving them on the lawn recycles valuable nutrients into the soil. • If you do bag grass clippings, use them as mulch on gardens or around trees and shrubs, add them to your backyard compost pile or take them to one of eight Ramsey County compost sites. water • 1" of water per week is needed in cool or warm weather. • 1" -2" of water per week is needed in hot and/or windy weather. Most lawn sprinklers produce 1/4" - 3/8" water per hour. • The best time to water is early morning to avoid excessive evaporation. • The worst time to water is late evening because the lawn stays wet all night, encouraging disease devel- opment. • Excessive watering also encourages disease develop- ment. Fertilize The most important times to apply fertilizer are late summer and late fall. This allows nitrogen to be aborbed by the grass when the growth is slow. The next spring's first growth will be greener and health- ier. • Lawns that are watered regularly and where clip- pings are not bagged benefit from 3 fertilizer applica- tions - late spring, late summer and late fall. • Lawns that are rarely watered benefit from one fertilizer application in early fall.

It is closely related to other species of North American marmots. The woodchuck's com- pact, chunky body is supported by short strong legs. Its tail is short, well furred and dark brown in col- or. The woodchuck's forefeet have long, curved cla\ti /s that are well adapted for digging ground bur- rows. The color of this large rodent is grizzled brownish gray. Although uncommon, colors of white (albino) to black (melanistic) can be found. ^,. �: .:"''.- r- 's,•K�.un- =.•..- s!!•i- ;,e..!w •. r• a vsY-- ?P".?�^1!f'^;- w+�.! -=.r�. LD,L`FE DAAG K., .J I Both sexes are similar in ap- pearance, but the male is slightly larger, weighing an average of 5 to 10 pounds (2.2 to 4 kg). Total measurement of the head and body average 16 to 20 inches (40 to 51 cm). Tail length is usually 4 to 7 inches (10 to 18 cm). Like other rodents, \woodchucks have white, chisel -like incisor teeth. These in- cisor teeth are w hite. Their eyes, ears and nose are located toward the top of the head, which allows maximum use of these senses wwlhen vie\ving over the F * n of the burrow v hile remaining largely concealed. Although they are slow runners, woodchucks are alert and quickly scurry to their dens when ap- proached. Range Woodchucks occur from eastern Alaska, through British Columbia and in most of southern Canada. They can be found also in northern Idaho, northeast North Dakota, southeastern Nebraska, eastern Kansas, an6 northeastern Oklahoma, and throughout the eastern United States south to Virginia and northern Alabama (Fig 2). ` _j ; • IL • _' •1 • �r t Habitat in general, woodchucks prefer open farmland. They are also found in abundance in wooded areas adjacent to these open lands. Burrows commonly are located in fields, pastures, along fence rows, stonewalls, roadsides or at the base of a tree. Woodchuck burrows usually are distinguishable by a large mound of excavated earth at the main entrance. The main open- ing is approximately 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) in diameter. There are always two or more en- trances to each burrow system. Some of the secondary entrances are dug from below the ground and do not have mounds of earth beside them. They are usually well hidden and sometimes difficult to locate (Figure 3). Each spring active burrows can be located by the freshly excavated earth at the main entrance. The burrow system serves as home to the woodchuck for mating, weaning young, hibernating in winter, and for hiding w hen threatened. Food Habits Early morning and evening hours are the woodchuck's preferred feeding times. They are primarily vegetarians and feed on a variety of vegetables, grasses and legumes. Some preferred foods are beans, peas, carrot tops, alfalfa, clover and grasses. General Biology Woodchucks are primarily active during daylight (diurnal) hours. When not feeding and during the warmest periods of the day, they sometimes bask in the sun. \N/ood- chucks have been observed dozing on fence posts, stonewalls, large rocks and fallen logs. These periods of daily leisure are usually spent close to the burrow entrance. Woodchucks are among the few mammals that enter into true hibernation. The time frame for this state of torpor varies with latitude but usually starts in late fall, near the end of October or early November. Hibernation con- tinues into late February and March at which time they emerge from their burrows. Usually males come out of hibernation before females and subadults and may travel long distances -- occasional- ly at night --- in search of a mate. Woodchucks breed in March and April. A single litter of two to six (usually four) young is produced each season after a gestation of about 32 days. The young are weaned by late June or early July, and soon thereafter strike out on their own. They frequently occupy abandoned dens. The numerous new burrows which appear during late summer are generally dug by older woodchucks. Main entrance Figure 2 . Range of the %yoodchuck in north America. F igure 3. Burrow system of woo c uc . r� B -154 The daily range of the woodchuck is usually between 50 to 100 feet (15 to 30 m) from its den. This distance may vary hovi based on the availability of food. Wood - chucks are very sanitary at their den sites. They also maintain clean burrow systems and annually replace nest materials. A burrow and den system is often used for several seasons. The tunnel system is irregular and may be extensive in size. Burrows may be as deep as 5 feet (1.5 m) and range from 8 to 66 feet (2.4 to 19.8 m) in total lengt i. Dens and burrows not in use by Woodchucks also furnish cover for many other wildlife species. When startled, woodchucks may emit a shrill whistle or alarm, preceded by a low, abrupt "phew." This is fni lowed by a low, rapid warble that sounds like "tchuck, tchuck." The voice is usually heard at the entrance of the burrow when - the animals are startled. The im- portant predators of woodchucks include hawks, owls, foxes bob- cats, weasels, dogs and man. Damage On occasion, the woodchuck's feeding and burrowing habits con- flict with man's interests. This many times occurs on farms, in home gardens, orchards and nurseries. Damage to vegetable crops such as beans, squash and peas can also be costly and exten- sive. Mounds of earth from the ex- cavated burrow systems, and holes formed at burrow entrances also present a hazard to farm equip- ment, horses, and riders. Fruit trees and ornamental shrubs may be damaged by woodchucks as they gnaw or claw woody vegetation. Legal Status In most states, woodchucks are considered game animals. There is usually no bag limit or closed season. In damage situations wood- chucks are usually not protected; however, depending on the control technique to be employed, the legal aspects may vary from state to state. When considering shooting and or trapping to control problem individuals you should first consult with your state wildlife department, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service representative, or Agricultural Extension Agent. Damage. Prevention and Control Methods Exclusion Fencing can help reduce �vood- c yuck damage. Hovvlever, wood- chucks are good climbers and can easil scale wire fences. If fencing is to be used, the lower edge should be buried 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) in the ground to pre- vent burrowing under the fence. Fences should extend 3 to 4 feet (91 to 122 cm) above the ground. An electric hot -shot wire placed 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13 cm) off the ground and the same distance out- side the fence will prevent climb- ing and burrowing. Fencing is most useful in protecting home gardens and has the added advantage of keeping other animals out of the garden area. In some instances, a hot shot wire alone has deterred Woodchucks from entering gardens. Vegetation in the vicinity of the hot wire whould be removed fre- quently to prevent the system from shorting out. Toxicants No poisons are registered for woodchuck control. Fumigants The most common means of wood- chuck control is the use of a com- mercial gas cartridge. This is a specially designed cardboard cylinder filled with slow burning chemicals. It is ignited and placed in the burrow system, and all en- trances are then sealed. The gas cartridge burns, producing carbon monoxide which accumulates in the burrow system and kills the woodchuck. Gas cartridges 'are available from local farm supply stores and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Pocatello Supply Depot. Directions for their use are on the label and should be careful- ly read and closely followed (see information on gas cartridges in Pesticides and in Supplies and Materials). Persons using gas cartridges should take a few precautions. Because of a potential fire hazard, gas car- tridges should not be used in bur - rows under sheds, buildings, or near other combustible materials. Gas cartridges are ignited by lighting the fuse. They are not bombs and will not explode if pro - perly prepared and used. Caution should be taken to avoid pro- longed breathing of fumes. Each burrow system should be treated in the following manner: 1. Locate the main burrow open- ing (identified by mound of excavated soil) and all other secondary entrances associated with that burrow system. 2. With a spade, cut a clump of sod slightly larger than each opening. Place a piece of sod over each entrance except the main entrance. Leave a pre -cut sod clump next to the main entrance for later use. 3. To prepare the gas cartridge for ignition and placement, follow the written instructions on the label. 4. Kneel at the burrow opening, light the fuse, and immediately place (do not throw) the car- tridge as far down the hole as possible. 5. Immediately after placing the cartridge in the burrow, close. the main opening by placing the piece of pre -cut sod, grass side down, over the opening. Make a tight seal with loose soil. (Placing sod grass side down prevents smothering the car- tridge with dirt.) B -155 B-156 6. Stand by for 3 to 4 minutes and watch nearby holes. Con- tinue to reseal those from which smoke is escaping. 7. Repeat these steps until all burrow systems have been treated in problem areas. Burrows can be treated with gas cartridges any time but is usually done in the spring before young emerge. On occasion treated bur - rovvts will be reopened by another animal re- occupying the burrow system. If this occurs, retreatment may be necessary. Trapping Traps may also be used to reduce Woodchuck damage; both steel leg - hold and live traps are effective. Trapping may be used in areas where gas cartridges may create a fire hazard. Woodchucks are strong animals, and a ho. 2 steel trap is needed to hold them. Live traps can be built at home or pur- chased from commercial sources (see Supplies and Materials). They can be set easier by laymen and are more humane than steel traps. Traps can be baited with apples or vegetables such as carrots and let- tuce, and located at the main en- trance. Guide logs placed either side of a path between the burrow opening and the trap will aid in funneling the animal toward the trap. All traps should be checked twice daily, morning and evening, so that captured animals may be dealt with in a humane manner. Before using steel traps, consult your state wildlife department with regard to legal requirements. Steel traps should not be employed in areas where there is a possibility of capturing domestic animals. Shooting Rifles with telescopic sights have encouraged the development of sport shooting of woodchucks. In some states there is no closed season, nor is there any limit on the number of woodchucks that can be taken by hunters. If shooting can be accomplished safe- ly, landowners and/or hunters can reduce or maintain a low level of Woodchucks �N here necessary. Landowners and hunters should agree on hunting arrangements prior to initiating any shooting ac- tivities. In many states, wood- chucks are considered game animals. Therefore, if shooting is permitted, a valid state hunting license may be required.

A test for over 200 pesticide residues showed detection of only four pesticides: captan, chlordane, lindane, and 2,4 -D. All except chlordane were found in concentrations well below the USDA food '�olerance _ level . The study concluded that chlordane and chlordane - related compounds should not constrain the use of the compost because a) there was evidence that the chlordane was breaking down (the presences of s everal by- products of chlordane degradation); b) with the banning of chlordane in 1988 residues in lawns and soils can be expected to decrease in the future; c) chlordane was found within the lower end of the range of typical background levels for suburban soils, although about three times higher than the USDA tolerance level; and d) chlordane and related compounds are tightly bound to the compost itself. Schlauder, Richard, "Analyzing Yard Waste for Contaminants," in BioCycle August 1992. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources analyzed two uncomposted samples of grass clippings at yard waste composting sites. A pesticide residue screening analysis for 30 specific, common pesticides showed only one pesticide that exceede its limit of quantification (detection limit): chlordane. This study cited the Richard and Chadsey study above in determining that the level of chlordane found was within the range found in suburban laws in New York. Crawford, S., and K. Feldman, "Degradation of Pesticides During Yard Waste Composting," (from a conference presentation) 1993 Tables developed by these authors provide detailed information for major specific herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides concerning toxicity levels and degradation rates. Discussion with David Whiting, Extension Horticulturist, Minnesota Extension Service, Ramsey, Washington, and Dako Counties, 1994 Mr. Whiting does not regard fertilizer residues on grass clippings as a significant issue. Dry fertilizer granules are sufficiently heavy that they will generally fall near the ground, below the level where grass blades are cut with a mower. Should dry or sprayed fertilizer residues be left on the grass blade when it is cut, they will essentially be another nutrient, along with the nitrogen in the grass clippings. Mr. Whiting does not have major concerns about environmental or health effects due to pesticides in leachate from yard waste management facilities or in finished compost. Dry "weed and feed" types of fertilizer formulations will act the same as dry fertilizer, enerall g Y falling below the level where grass blades are cut with a mower. The broad- leafed weedkillers commonly available to homeowners, 2,4 -D, MCPP, MCPA, and dicamba, are all readily broken down by bacteria on the turf and in piles of grass clippings. The half -life of 2,4-D on turf, for example, is 7 -10 days. if a resident mowed their lawn before the 2,4 -D had full degraded, some of . Y g , this pesticide would travel with the grass blade to the composting site where it would continue to degrade rapidly. In the worst case, because it is water soluble, some 2,4 -D could leac=h out. However, the amounts used on home lawns are very small. Also, research has shown that 2,4 -D is found in small quantities in water bodies, but not at levels that present environmental or health risks. The Extension Service recommends that homeowners who have applied weedkillers and wish to use the grass clippings for mulch wait a few weeks before placing the mulch around plants in the garden, to allow time for degradation of the weedkiller. Crabgrass killer moves into the top 2 inches of the soil surface when it is watered in properly. If, in the worst case, it was not watered in and the grass was then cut, then some of this herbicide could be taken to a compost site on the grass blade. However, because it is insoluble, it would remain with the decomposing grass clippings. Crabgrass killer is broken down by bacteria in three months, and can be broken down more rapidly if allowed to photodegrade and volatilize. Insecticides are not generally used in turf. If, for example, dia.zinon were used for killing grubs, it would degrade in 21 days, and and once it has dried, it is immobile. Fungicides available for use by homeowners break down quickly. As with some other types of pesticides, if a resident is still using n g old formulation of a fungicide no longer available, such as a fungicide containing mercury, then it is possible that chemicals from an old formulation could up in leachate, runoff, or in finished compost. However, because the vast majority of residents are not using such old formulations, the contamination levels are likely to be small. Mr. Whiting is not aware of any studies of pesticides or fertilizer in leaves, presumably because of the vast quantities of leaves brought to compost sites, only a small portion of them are likely to have been sprayed. Test results for the Composting Concepts composting site in Woodbury, 1989. An analysis by the State of Minnesota Dept. of Agriculture of yard waste from this yard waste composting site showed that of 61 pesticides studied, three were detected above detection limits: chlorpyrifos, dicamba, and 2,4 -D. Simpson, Michael H., Sumner Martinson, and Bruce Fulford "Flow Strategies for Leaves and Yard Waste," in BioCycle July 19900 . In 1988, the Massachusetts Division of Solid Waste Management funded a study to assess the environmental impact of yard waste composting t a i. site n Y rm h g a out_., Massachusetts. Preliminary results indicated low concentrations of 2,4 -D and chloryrifos in the yard waste comin g onto the site. However, both of these chemcabs were below levels of detection in the finished compost. DeCrane, Susan, "Giving Composting a Try," in Waste ArXe, January 1991. Land & Lakes Company in Illinois operates a yard waste composting facility that accepts grass clippings, leaves, and brush. In the testing performed of the compost, no fertilizers or pesticides were f ou nd . Aspergillus fumigatus introduction A substantial amount of research has been performed on A. fumi gatus in the sc ientific literature. only in the past few years, Fo'we e have studies been conducted to evaluate the health effects of this fungus in association with yard waste sites. A. fum is a fungus found virtually everywhere on earth.' People are exposed to this fungus on a regular basis, but despite this exposure the organism does not .normally cause disease. The human immune system normally acts as if A. fumi atus is an innocent v'.sitor, unless it invades tissues, in wh c it responds as if It were a pathogen. A. fumigatus prefers to grow on decaying organic matter with oxygen present. It is tolerant of warm temperatures, and can grow and reproduce from 12 to 50 °C (59 ° F to 122°F)..A.fumigatus is a normal and integral part of the composting process; it is one of many organisms that helps break down compostable materials into a finished product. The fungus has a life cycle of four stages, one of which is the formation of spores. The spores weigh very little, and are easily spread by air currents. The spores are found in many substrates, including compost, soils, straw, hay, bark and woodchi.ps, house dust, bird droppings and sewage sludge. People are exposed to thie- fungus in a variety of activities, including lawn mowing (cited by some as the most common source.of exposure for residential dwellers), gardening, home landscaping, potting houseplants, raking leaves and walking along a nature trail. A. fumigatus is also found indoors, and has been found inside homes. Humans are constantly exposed to and inhale As er illus spor "�"' Health Effects A considerable amount of study has been done on health effects of A. fum particularly on farmers and workers at sewage treatment plants. These studies have been reviewed and summarized b y Epstein stein (1994). Only recently have studies and risk assessments been performed for compost facilities, and much of this work has been done for mixed municipal solid waste composters and not yard waste. Since the A. fumi atus spores are .small, they can be inhaled by humans. Inaeea, this i s cited as the principal route of exposure. A report prepared by the California Integrated Waste Management Board lists four "disease entities" for A. fumigatus: • Extrinsic (Allergic) Asthma • Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) • Hypersensivity pneumonitis (HP) • Invasive aspergillosis (IA) In the report, the California Integrated Waste Management Board notes that a literature review showed only two cases of illness possibly linked to a commercial composting facility. Serious illness or deaths from.aspergillosis in patients without any �� i predisposin g conditions are _quite rare. Epstein (1994) noted that t is very clear from the review .of the medical literature that the reported cases of as r it p p g losis and other diseases and symptoms related to Aspergillus fumigatus have occurred essentially in hospital patient Of the hundreds of reported cases in the medical literature, only two implicated gardening and compostin ." A stud completed in 1993 b the g Y � p Y New York Department of Health did not find an association between elevated levels of A. fumi atus spores in a neighborhood and allergic --r g or asthmatic responses .�A ergi.c responses were associated with ragweed pollen, ozone, temperature and time since the start of the study period. It noted the need for further stud however, and suggested Y � � some cautions. Occurrence of A. fumigatus at ost sites The air in and around the Maplewood yard waste site has not been sampled for A. fumi atus. Two other yard waste sites in Minnesota have had air s ampl Ing : a site in Minneapol and a site in Anoka County Air sampling in New York has been done as part of a health study around a 40 acre yard waste site in Islip, N.Y. Specif is information about these tests can be found in the references. In sum, the New York study found that levels o f A . fum g atus and other fungi were found to be elevated at a statisticaTly�s level above background levels at the e compost site, and were elevated in a neighboring residential area but not a a i level. Grab samples b the . Y MPCA at the yard waste site n Anoka County showed that spore levels disperse rapidly, even under windy conditions. In his literature review Epstein noted that "at 250 to 500 feet, A. fumi atus spore levels are usually at background levels." He also note "F' separation of facilities from residences or commercial enterprises by a wooded area reduces dust and bioaerosol dispersion. Operational issues related to A. fumi atus Various references suggest that yard waste sites can incorporate mitigative measures to reduce the risk of health effects related to A. fumigat us . Many of these measures are aimed at workers at large commercial facilities, but they can apply to neighboring residents as well. The New York report recommends that compost facilities not be sited close to hospitals or other health care facilities where extreme precautions are being taken to prevent infection of severely immuno- suppressed patients unless bioaerosol emissions can be controlled. The study also recommends operational changes at the Islip to minimize r facilit y spore release but does not specify those changes. The California report stated that "a properly operated compost facility with suitable moisture and pH levels, aeration, and or turning and mixing, should not normally present - an elevated health risk if the best management practices are followed." The report includes a long list of best management practices, several of these include the following: • Siting - maintain a 300 foot buffer to the nearest residence, school or hospital • Place berms or windbreaks to change ambient wind direction • Compact or pave surfaces for dust and runoff control • Blend and mix windrows regularly • Maintain optimum moisture at 50 - 60% Maintain temperatures at appropriate levels Use water sprays to control dust and spores Conclusion A. fumi atus is ubiquitous, and humans are exposed to it in many normal activities . The fungus is an important part of the composting process, and grown during certain stages of composting. Spores are released from yard waste windrows when they are disturbed, and are dispersed to background levels at some .distance from the site. A. fumi atus can cause adverse health effects in predisposed indiv"17uals, but the scientific literature contains only two cases where gardening or composting were ..implicated in illnesses. Despite this evidence, experts in the field suggest that mitigation measures be taken to reduce potential exposure to A. fumigatus and other bioaerosols.

ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned at 9:45 p.m. MEMORANDUM To: City Manager FROM: Ken Roberts, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Budd Kolby Fourth Addition LOCATION: Crestview Drive, north of Timber Avenue DATE: May 4, 1994 Ii+ITFiODUCTION ,A,ot..on. by Council .1 Inndorse Modifie Rej eoted }d Dat Ken Gervais, of Image Development Company, is requesting that the City approve Code variations and revisions to an approved preliminary lat. The plat would be called the PP P �'y P P Budd Kolby Fourth Addition. (See the maps on pages 9 -11.) This plat would create fourteen lots for houses. The plat would include a 2.3 -acre outlot for and and a _ P small outlot between the streets. The proposed plat change is for the street design. The proposed street would be 24 -feet- wide, looping around a center island and one-way. This street would be in a 50 -foot- wide right -of -way with a landscaped area in the middle. The standard City street is 32 feet .wide in a 60- foot -wide right -of -way Mr. Gervais is requesting this change to lessen grading and to save trees on the site. He believes the narrower looping street will need less grading than the standard 32 -foot- wide street with a cul -de -sac bulb. His company is preparing to develop the site. Access to this plat is dependent on the development of the property to the south (Amber Hills). BACKGROUND On March 9, 1987, the City Council approved the Budd Kolby Second Addition preliminary plat, subject to eleven conditions. The Council also approved a variance to allow a cul -de -sac Worland Road /Dorland Avenue) to be longer than 1 000 feet. g � ( See the plat on page 12.) On November 9, 1987, the Council approved the final plat for the first phase of the plat (Budd Kolby Second Addition). (See the map on page 10.) On March 28, 1988, the City Council approved the final plat for the Budd Kolby Third Addition. (See the map on page 10.) DISCUSSION Cul- de-sac Length The Council is considering the design of the Amber Hills plat to the south. The developer is proposing to drop Timber Avenue between Crestview Drive and the west property line. He is proposing to extend Crestview Drive to Schaller Drive. This would make the length of Crestview Drive 1,080 from Schaller Drive to the north end. The Code limits the length of cul -de -sacs to 1,000 feet unless there is other practical option. Reduced Strooet Wi dths Section 29 -52 of the City Code requires that local streets be 32 feet -in width (gutter to gutter) . The Code states that the City Council may permit variations from this requirement in specific cases that do not effect the p� r. eneral purposes of this section. M g Gervais wants to build 24- foot -wide streets in this plat. Section 30-8(b)(1) requires a minimum right -of -way width of 60 feet. The developer is proposing 50 feet. The City Engineer and the Public Safety Director are for these Code variations if the street is one -way and if it has no parking on one side. The City has approved three other plats with narrower streets. (See the reference section on pages 7 and 8.) Island Cul-de -sac Design Rather than grading the cul -de -sac to one level, one side would be higher than the other. This would reduce the grading and tree loss on the site. In 1987 the Council approved Crestview Drive and Dahl Road to the north as cul -de -sacs. The Council did not require that Mr. Gervais make a throu h street. The Council felt that it was more g important to save trees. Mr. Gervais's current p p ro osal is consistent with the Council's goal. There is precedent by the City for approving narrower streets and cul - de - sacs with center islands In 1992 the Council approved the Countryview Summit preliminary plat with three cul -de -sacs with center islands. (See the preliminary plat on page 13.) The Council required that the Community Design Review Board approve the landscap p g of the cul -de -sacs. After the City approved the center island plan, the developer decided to build standard cul -de -sacs. The island area in the middle of the cul -de -sac would be an outlot owned by the surrounding property owners. Each of the lot owners would have a 1/14 undivided interest in the outlot. This would revent the outlot from becoming tax - forfeited or p g unmaintained. 2 The Plat Staff is recommending changes to the preliminary plat conditions. These changes reflect current policies and requirements and would not effect the basic design. RECOMMENDATIONS A. Approve a cul - - sac that is 1,080 feet in length.* B. Adopt the resolution page 14. This resolution approves a Code variation for 24- foot -wide streets and a fifty- foot -wide n* ht -of -wa in the Budd Kolb Fourth g Y Y Addition.

The Council also vacated an easement and changed the zoning map. On March 23, 1992, the Council approved a one -year time extension for the Highwood Meadows preliminary plat. On January 25, 1993, the City Council dropped one condition for the plat approval (about requiring City contracts for the construction of Sterling Street and Schaller Avenue). The Council also approved aone -year time extension for the preliminary plat. CountrWew Summit On April 13, 1992, the City Council approved the preliminary plat for Countryview Summit. As proposed, the plat was to have three teardrop shaped cul -de -sacs with landscaped center islands. (See the preliminary plat on page 13.) The developer that built the project decided to build standard City cul -de -sacs instead of the teardrop style with the islands. Street Wi dth Variations On February 8, 1993, the City Council approved the Oak Ridge Estates preliminary plat and a code variation for 28- foot -wide streets. 7 .On March 22, 1993, the Council approved the Maple Woods Estates Second Addition preliminary plat and a code variation for 28- foot -wide streets. On September 27, 1993, the Council approved a one -year time extension for the Beth Heights preliminary plat and a code variation for 28- foot -wide streets. PLANNING Zoning: R -1 (single dwellings) Land Use Plan Designation: R -1 s (single dwellin g) Ordinance Requirements: Section 29-52(a)(9) of the City Code requires that local residential streets be 32 feet in width (gutter to gutter). The Code states that the City Council may pernut variations from this requirement in specific cases that do not effect the general purposes of this section. City Code requires a street right -of -way width of 60 feet for local streets. OPEN SPACE On November 2, 1993, the citizens approved a $5 million bond issue for open space. On February 14, 1994, the Council authorized staff to negotiate with Ken Gervais to buy his property for open space. Mr. Gervais owns Outlots E, F and G of the Budd Kolby Addition. The open space committee ranked this site first on their list. Mr. Gervais has told the City that he wants to develop his property and does not want to sell it for open space. 8 Attachment 1 n39 1%owpor • warver Lake LOCATION MAP 9 • 4 .'

SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat —Time Extension and Revision of Conditions LOCATION: Schaller Drive and Ster ling Street PROJECT: Amber Hills DATE: May 4, 1994 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 1 BACKGROUND 2 DISCUSSION 3 Open Space 3 Wetlands 3 Double- Fronting Lot 3 Timber A , Outlot A and the School District Property 5 RECOMMENDATION 5 REFERENCE 11 Sterling Street/Schaller Drive. Project 11 INTRODUCTION Bill Dolan is requesting a time extension for the Amber Hills (formerly Highwood Meadows) preliminary plat. Mr. Dolan represents Gold Key Development, Inc. Gold Key Development, Inc. recently bought this property. The plat would be north of Highwood Avenue between O' Day Street and Lakewood Drive. (See the location and property line maps on pages 12 and 13.) The developer submitted a preliminary plat on February 23, 1994. (See the plat on page 14.) This plat would create 74 lots and an outlot. The developer also plans to develop the properties to the north and northeast of this plat. The preliminary plat shows the land to the north of the Amber Hills plat. The developer is only requesting that the City approve the Amber Hills plat now On April 25, 1994, the City Council tabled the February 23 plan until May 9, 1994. The Council wanted further study on two problems: I. Should the developer connect Timber Avenue and Schaller Drive? 2. Where should the access to Outlot A (south of Schaller Drive) be? On April 27, 1994, the developer submitted a revised plan for Crestview Drive and a s concerns etter. The new plan and letter are a response to Council'. (See the new plan P on page 16 and the letter on page 17) Mr. Dolan is asking the City to approve changes to the .previously approved preliminary plat. (See the approved Highwood Meadows preliminary plat on page 15, the proposed Amber Hills preliminary plat on page 14 and the Crestview Drive revision on page 16. The changes would: 1. Drop lots. The February 23 plan would drop eleven lots. I cannot tell from the April 27 plan how many lots the developer has dropped. (The developer will use the outlot to create four more lots when he plats the property to the north.) 2. Extend Valley View Court to the west property line if there is legal access to the School District property or if the developer buys the site. (The School District property is west of Valley View Court.) 3. Replace Bird Song Lane with a southerly extension of Crestview Drive. 4. Omit Timber Avenue between Crestview Drive and the west property line. 5. Shorten the Timber Avenue and Deepwoods Court cul -de -sacs. 6. Replace the part of Wildflower Lane that was east of Sterling Street with a new Matterhorn Drive along the north property line. The developers would include Matterhorn Drive when they plat the property to the north. BACKGROUND On March 25, 1991, the City Council approved the Highwood Meadows preliminary plat, vacated an easement and changed the zoning map. On March 23, 1992, the Council approved a one -year time extension. 2 On January 25, 1993 the City Council dropped a plat condition. This condition required City contracts for the construction of Sterling Street and Schaller Avenue. The Council also approved a one -year time extension for the preliminary plat. On September 13, 1993, the City Council denied a request to narrow the local streets. DISCUSSION Open Space The Cit r's open space co *tree ranked this site 12 out of 66 sites for open space acquisition. The Committee recommended that the City buy this site. The City Attorney has advised us that we cannot allow plans for open space purchase to affect the City's plat review decisions. Wetlands Since the City approved this preliminary plat, the State and Watershed District have adopted stricter wetland rules. There may be a wetland at the northeast corner of Sterling Street and Schaller Drive and between Amber and Deepwoods Courts. The City should require that the developer have a trained wetland delineator determine if these low lands are wetlands. If there are wetlands, the developer may have to revise the plat to accommodate the wetlands. Double- Fronting Lot Lot 19 fronts on Highwood Avenue and Valley mew Court. Section 30 -8 of City Code states that "Double- frontage lots shall not be pernutted, except where topographic or other conditions render subdividing otherwise unreasonable. Such double- frontage lots shall have an additional depth of at least twenty feet in order to allow space for a protective plant- screen along the back lot line." Lot 19 has the extra depth. The double fronting lot is reasonable considering the topography —a drainage channel along Highwood Avenue. Timber Avenue, Crestview Drive and Schaller Drive Design There are three options for the Timber Avenue, Crestview Drive and Schaller Drive design: 1. Do not connect Schaller Drive and Timber Avenue, but connect Timber Avenue to Lakewood Drive. This was the developer's February 23, 1994 plan. (See page 14.) 2. Connect Schaller Drive and Timber Avenue, and Timber Avenue to Lakewood Drive. This was the plan on the Highwood Meadows plat. (See page 15.) 3 3. Connect Schaller Drive and Timber Avenue, but do not connect Timber Avenue to Lakewood Drive. This is the developer's latest proposal. He would extend Crestview Drive to Schaller Drive. (See the a lan on e 16.) P page Option 1: Option 1 has two problems. The Crestview Drive cul -de -sac on the property to the north (Budd Kolby 4th Addition) would be over 1,3.00 feet from an intersection with two means of access. The Council would have to require that Mr. Gervais shorten his cul -de- sac so that Crestview Drive will not exceed 1,000 feet or the City would have to approve a longer cup -de -sac. The second roblem is that several neighbors on Lakewood P g Drive complained about increased traffic. Option 2: The advantage of this option is that Lakewood Drive would have less traffic. There are two disadvantages. The Crestview Drive cul -de -sac would be 1,300 feet long using the Bird Song alignment (Highwood Meadows plan) or 1,080 feet if Crestview Drive were connected to Schaller Drive. The second problem is that connecting Schaller Drive and Timber Avenue would create grading problems. Option 3: Making the existing Timber Avenue cul -de -sac permanent would avoid adding more traffic on Lakewood Drive. However, this change would create four problems: g P 1. Crestview Drive would be 1,080 feet in length. 2. The cul -de -sac would be substandard. Since it is a temporary cul -de -sac, the right- of-way diameter is 100 feet, the pavement diameter is 86 feet and there is no curb. The Code requires a right -of -way diameter of 120 feet, and curb and gutter. while there is no Code requirement, a permanent cul -de -sac diameter is usually 94 feet. If the Council approves this option, they need to approve a Code variation for a substandard cul -de -sac width and require that the developer overlay the pavement and install curb and gutter. 3. The City does not have a permanent easement for the cul -de -sac bulb. This cul -de- sac was built into the yards of 2360 and 2359 Timber Avenue. The City has only a temporary easement for the cul -de -sac bulb. If the City decides to make this cul -de- sac permanent, they should require that the developer get permanent easements from the two abutting property owners. 4. The two abutting houses are too close to the pavement. The garage at 2359 Timber Avenue is about 10 feet from the cul -de -sac easement. The garage at 2360 Timber 4 Avenue is about 18 feet away. The Code requires a minimum of 30 feet. Both garages are about 22 -23 feet from the pavement. If the Council approves this option, they should approve reduced setbacks for these two houses. I have talked to both owners and they would prefer less traffic to getting their yards back. Outlot A and the School District Property The School District owns the property west of Valley mew Court. The School District plans to sell this property. They planned to sell it to a private developer two years ago. A neighbor objected to the School Board because the neighbor felt that this piece should remain as open space. The School District decided to wait until the City decided whether to buy this property for open space. The City's Open Space Committee ranked the School District property 27 out of 66 sites and 8 out of 19 sites in the neighborhood. They did not recommend that the City buy this site. The best access to the school site and Outlot A is from Schaller Drive. The City should require access from Schaller Drive unless the developer deeds these two lots to the City for open space or combines them with the lots on the south side of Schaller Drive. Because of the topography, the City engineer agrees with the developer's February 23 plan. This plan shows access to the School District property from Schaller Drive rather than Valley View Court. The developer should move the stub street from Schaller Drive to the east line of Outlot A. The stub street would serve the School District property and Outlot A. Stubbing the street in the middle of Outlot A means that the School District property cannot develop until Outlot A develops. The developers are proposing to drop the stub street from Schaller Drive that would provide access to Outlot A and the School District property. They are trying to buy both properties. The developers will agree to have Valley View Road dead -end at the school site. They want to go back to the current cul -de -sac plan if the school district proposal is shown to have legal access to Highwood Avenue or if the developer purchases the site. The problem with this proposal is that the school district site already has legal access to Highwood Avenue. Their access, however, is not practical. The south part of the school site is drainage easement. A street to Highwood Avenue would not line up with Crestview Drive to the south. We prefer to limit street and drive accesses onto major streets. RECOMMENDATION A. Approve a Code variation for a substandard cul -de -sac where Timber Avenue meets the developer's west property line. The variation is because: 1. Building a larger cul -de -sac would further encroach into the yards and setbacks of the existing homes. 5 2. The existing cul -de -sac is existing and has proven adequate for snow plowing and access to the homes. 3. There are only two homes that have driveways off the cul - de - sac. 4. The fire marshal stated that the cul - de - sac is adequate for emergency vehicles. B. Approve reduced building setbacks for 2360 and 2359 Timber Avenue. Approval is because: 1. The setbacks are not affecting the p vacy of adjacent homes. 2. The homes are at the same setback as the adjacent homes. 3. The reduced setback is caused by changing a temporary cul -de -sac to a p � permanent setback. C. Approve a one - year time extension for the Amber Hills preliminary plat (as shown on page 14 of the May 4, 1994 staff report with the revision on p a g e 16.) The. extension is subject to the January 25, 1993 conditions, revised as follows: (I have underlined the additions and crossed out the deletions.) *Izx at street • street 64a " • A L&%O %.OJ16%A%WL LW%W%WLL-J6WJ6& %0"4%4 16.Y %.'.L && '6IA&W"& &.1%. &R%&LI %, ..e • . .. • . • . • e w • • a w • • .. ;a • ' . w • v v - • i i i ... — v . • *Izx at street • street 64a " • A L&%O %.OJ16%A%WL LW%W%WLL-J6WJ6& %0"4%4 16.Y %.'.L && '6IA&W"& &.1%. &R%&LI %, ..e • . .. • . • . • e w • • a w • • .. ;a • ' . w • v v - • i i i ... — v . . • . .... 2 ELT W A - v 1.

The City ordered this project in 1987. The school district delayed this project because they could not decide whether to buy land from the former property owner (James Kayser) for a new school. The street alignment depended on the -school location. Eventually, the School District decided not to build a school. The project ended because of the delay. In September of 1991, the Council reordered this project. The City Engineer then started negotiations with the Arovecs (2480,Linwood Avenue) and the Kaysers (251 Linwood Avenue) . The negotiations were to get right -of -way and easements for the project. The City Engineer and these two property owners were unable to agree about easements for Sterling Street, south of Linwood Avenue. So, the City decided to build only the project north of Linwood Avenue. The contractor completed this ro'ect in P i 1993. In September of 1993, the City Engineer received a petition from the Arovecs and the Kaysers. This petition asked the City to build Sterling Street and Schaller Avenue between Linwood and Highwood Avenues. On October 11, 1993, the City Council ordered the City Engineer to prepare a feasibility study for these streets. The feasibility study was subject to the property owners giving the City Engineer easements for the street rights -of -way. The City Engineer has received these easements. go/b- 7:memo84b.mem (12-28), Attachments: 1. Location Map 20 Property Line /Zoning Map 3. Proposed Amber Hills Preliminary Plat 4.

Engineering Planning, Development 1521 E. Highway 13 Burnsville, MN 55337 Phone (612) 890 -1272 Fax (612) 890 -4861 28 Apr 1994 Mr, Ken Roberts City of Maplewood 1830 E. County Rd. B Maplewood, MN 55109 Re: Amber Hi Revision Dear Ken: Enclosed is an overlay of the Timber Ave. , Crestview des i !9n . This alternate design leaves the existing Timber Ave. cul de sac right where it is, and connects Crestview south to Schaller so that all access to the area i.e. Amber 1st and Budd Kol by 4th, is off of Schaller - the main east -west through street. This design allows construction to occur up on the top of the hill rather than the alternative of having to connect to existing Ti mber 12' to 15' below, thus eliminating the banks I described on the alternate design of Bird Song; i.e., connecting to existing Timber and then having Bird Song creates the problem. The Timber cu 1 de sac is then 610' and the Budd Ko 1 by is 1 Thou. h the Budd Kolby is 50' over the 1 max' g � maximum, , none of the traffic f � c � s d irected ree t ed through the existing dead -end Ti mber Ave., but directly to the through street Schaller Drive. Also, the Budd Kol by street (Crestview) is a one way oo~ y p street which will allow emergency vehicles an alternate route in or out and ease of turning around, as well as ease of plowing. All in all I think this plan answers most of the questions the council had. In addition, we have closed the stub street to the south as we are entering into a purchase of the Mi property and have made a proposal to the school district, 17 We will agree to have Valley View Rd, dead -end at the school site in the preliminary plat, with the stipulation that if the school district proposal is shown to have legal access to Hi ghwood or if we should complete a purchase of the site, we then be allowed to go back to the present cul de sac plan for Valley View. Should you have any questions about this, please advise. Respectful 1 y, William R. Dolan, c. E. President WRD:kd io, ,\ MINUTES OF THE MAPLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION 1830 EAST COUNTY ROAD B.

TO: City Manager Mcdif fed Raj Seted .�- FROM: Finance Director RE: Change in Ambulance Bill Collection Procedures DATE: May 3, 1994 PROPOSAL It is proposed that our ambulance bill collection procedures be modified to utilize Allied Medical Accounts Control to provide the City's entire collection efforts, including court proceedings on bills that are unpaid 90 days after the City's first billing. BACKGROUND The following procedures are used to bill and collect charges for ambulance service: 1. First bill: Ambulance charges are billed by the 10th of the month following the run date. The first bill includes a notice that requests payment in full unless covered by Medicare and /or Medical Assistance, in which case appropriate numbers and consent forms are requested. This notice also recommends that individuals, not covered by Medicare and /or Medical Assistance, file a private insurance claim at this time. 2. Second bill: If the bill remains unpaid 30 days after the first bill, a second bill is sent with a notice that indicates payment has not been received. It instructs individuals with Medicare that if they have received an explanation of benefits from Medicare they should file a private insurance claim if they have supplemental insurance, I Final bill: If the bill remains unpaid 60 days after the first bill, a final notice requests payment In full within 30 days or the account will be referred to a collection agency and /or Ramsey County Conciliation Court. 4. If the bill remains unpaid, it is sent to Allied Medical Accounts Control 90 days after the first bill. Allied sends two letters. After 45 days, Allied calls us and asks for approval to send the unpaid accounts on for full collection services and possible court proceedings. The fourth step has been followed since March 1993. Prior to that, we used Commercial Recovery Corporation (CRC) for the fourth step. They sent four letters at a cost of $6.20 per account. If the bill remained unpaid, City staff sent a final .demand letter and then filed a claim in conciliation court. In 1993 City staff discontinued filing claims in conciliation court because the filing fee was increased to $20 per claim and the amount collected by the process was less than the filing fees. In an effort to increase collections and reduce costs, we switched to Allied Medical Accounts Control in March, 1993. This firm specializes in medical bills. They send two letters at a cost of $2.75 per account and then provide full collection services including phone calls and the filing of insurance claims for patients. If necessary, they. will refer our accounts to a local law firm. Full collection services cost 30% of the amount collected unless litigation is required. The cost then is 50% of the amount collected. Details regarding the services provided by Allied are in the attached letter. After a year of utilizing Allied's letter - writing and full- service collection services, our costs have decreased, our collections along with timeliness of payments have increased and the cost of staff time involved in collections has decreased. Allied sent letters to 223 accounts and 23 % of these were collected at a cost of $613. If these accounts had been sent to CRC, the collection rate would have been about the same but the cost would have been $1,383. Allied made further collection attempts on bills that remained unpaid after the letters were sent. They collected 16.7 % of these bills at a cost of $3,83 1. If these 359 accounts would have been sent to conciliation court by the City, 5.7% would have been collected at a cost of $7,180 for court filing fees. Also, costs would be incurred for many hours of staff time in preparation of court filing documents and for attending court hearings. Our staff has given Allied the highest compliments with regards to their results, flexibility, quick follow -up and being medical bill specialists. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that our collection procedures be modified to utilize Allied Medical Accounts Control to provide the City's entire collection efforts, including court proceedings on bills that are unpaid 90 days after the City's first billing. Patrick Lauermann representing Allied Medical Accounts Control will be at the Council meeting to answer questions. w: \agn \=bcoll Attachments April 1, 1994 a division of Associated Bureaus, Inc.

Collection Performance overview for 1993 and 1994 placements as of February 28, 1994 for the City of Maplewood Ambulance. Collection Process Flowcharts by balance range. These flowcharts will indicate the collection techniques used by Allied Medical Accounts Control to secure maximized recoveries and minimized patient complaints. Quality Analysis pie chart that includes the percentages of phone, no -phone and skip accounts that City of Maplewood Ambulance turns to Allied Medical Accounts Control for collection activity, as well as, how your placement inventory compares to other local ambulance services. Remember, the higher percent of phone accounts will result in higher recovery percentages. A higher percent of no- phones and skip accounts will usually result in lower collection percentages. A graph from the American Collectors Association that indicates the collectibility of delinquent accounts. The value of past due accounts declines with age, so quick follow -up is necessary for higher returns. Also, as we discussed, there are four (4) local city ambulance services we are currently working with and that have utilized our services for at least one year or longer. We have attained recovery percentages at 12 months ranging from a low of 18.7 % to a high of 21 % . These Y ,. Mr. Daniel Faust City of Maplewood Ambulance April 1, 1994 Page 2 percentages are calculated on gross dollars placed and collected. Please bare in mind the fact that the overall gross recoveries for these clients will continue to grow from the above numbers at 12 months to a range of approximately 22% to 28% recovery rate for a 24 month period. I hope I have covered all the items we had discussed. If you have questions or require additional information, please contact me at 688 -5113.

ATTN: Mr. Patrick Lauermann 1500 Commerce Drive Mendota Heights, MN 55120 RE: Conciliation Court and Property Suits Dear Pat, (612) 688 -5900 Fax (612) 688 -5920 WATS 1- 800 - 390 -6590 Pursuant to your request for information regarding our viewpoint on the use of conciliation courts and the use of property suits as collection tools, please consider the following: 1. Conciliation Courts: It is possible to use the conciliation courts effectively as a collection tool. In order to accomplish this we must meet certain goals: a) accounts must be pre - screened and only accounts with a confirmed place of employment should be sued; b) the prospective Defendant should not have any outstanding tax liens, child support obligations, or unpaid Judgments; C) account balances should be $250.00 or more; d) a high volume of accounts must be processed for each calendar of the court. Unless we have 50 to 75 qualifying accounts on a regular repeated basis, we cannot operate cost effectively; e) the client must advance the court filing fees. These range from $17.00 to $22.00 per at this time. Conciliation court is a cumbersome court to use because it requires personal appearances by us on all cases filed whether or not the case goes by default. This means that we must designate an employee or an attorney to spend the entire day in conciliation court. We cannot do this on a cost effective basis unless that person has a large volume of accounts on the court calendar for that day, The time expended is not significantly different for two case, as for fifty. Page 2 Mr. Lauermann March 29, 1994 We also find that many clients do not wish to advance the necessary f i 1 ing fees . At an average of $20.00 per case, even if we were to do a minimal volume of 50 cases per month, this would be an annual outlay of $12,000.00. We are not in a position to cover this expense for a client. Filing fees are recoverable from the Judgment debtor if collection is successful. Finally, the opportunity for a poor decision is greater in conciliation court than in District Court. There is no opportunity to conduct discovery and contested matters must be dealt with based on whatever information is at hand, no matter what claims are raised by the Defendants, Roughly 10% of conciliation court claims are contested. In a contested case situation we will not necessarily have the live witnesses necessary' to establish our claim and thereby prevail. 2. Property Suits: It is also possible to use property suits as an effective long - range collection tool. Generally, a property suit is a lawsuit initiated with little or no hope of present day collection intended to place a lien against a person's property which must be paid before clear title to the property can be transferred. We look for the following criteria before initiating a property suit: a) that the debtor truly does own property; b) that present liens do not exceed the value of the property; c) that the client advances all court costs; and d) that the account balance exceeds $1,000.00, although we have gone lower under the appropriate circumstances. Both of the collection tools described above have positives and negatives. Under the right circumstances, used correctly, both can be effective collection tools. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, GOGGINS & LAV NTMAN, P.A. ,n v e r .

Also, these collection performance numbers will be lower due to the City of Maplewood . y p Ambulance does utilize our pre - collect letter program before placing ccounts to regular collections g � Collection Process Allied Medical Accounts Control employs a proven collection technique consisting of structured calls assessing the patient's financial situation which stresses thorough account follow We constantly conduct random call- quality audits to reinforce our technique. The result: maximized recoveries and minimized complaints. At AMAC, our placement notice to the patient contains more than the typical request for payment in full. It solicits all pertinent information and immediately requests the authorizations often necessary to pursue medical collections. When a phone number is provided, every effort is made to contact the patient by phone. If a phone number is not provided or if the number is deemed invalid, skiptrace effort is initiated (see Skiptrace Process (flowchart). At AMAC, we emphasize reviewing the patients financial situation and then discussing the appropriate payment options. Collectors hours include evenings and Saturdays. If payment in full can not be made, a plan of payment appropriate to the patient's current situation is set. It is noted that the plan will be periodically reviewed for possible upgrade should the patient's financial situation improve. Supervisors review for further action those accounts where neither payment in full nor a reasonable payment plan is made. Possible courses of action include: additional collection notices, "Second- Voicing" (another collector attempts contact on the account), pre-legal/legal follow -up at the law firm of Goggins & Lavintman, or close. a division oenssoctaiea Bureaus, Inc Allied Medical Accounts Control Collection Process Placement Balance Less Than $300 YES Patient notified Phone accounts: Collection by mail predictive dialed notices continue account placed and contact made if no phone with AMAC (else Skiptrace Process) contact is made Accounts are worked by a group of collectors utilizing NO Predictive Dialing. Collection notices are sent to the patient until phone contact is established. Payment in full is pursued. If the patients financial situation warrants a payment arrangement, then one is negotiated. Payment reminder notices are then sent to decrease the chance of a broken commitment. If no arrangement is made, the situation is evaluated by a supervisor for three possible courses of action: additional collection notices, pre—legal/legal followup at the law firm of Goggins & Lavintman, or close.

Collection notices NO continue to be sent until phone contact is established. Payment in full is pursued. All possible third party money sources are investigated. Our large balance collectors are trained to work with attorneys, case workers and insurance companies in addition to patients. Payment arrangements are negotiated as warranted. Payment reminder notices are sent to decrease the chance of a broken commitment. If all attempts to negotiate suitable payment arrangements are rebuffed by the guarantor, efforts are made to contact the spouse, and vice versa. If no arrangement for payment is made, the situation is then reviewed by a supervisor who decides the appropriate course of action: 'Second Voicing" (another collector attempts contact on the account), pre — legal /legal followup at the law firm of Goggins & Lavintman, or close.

These services include using the information we provide to correct zip codes, access National Change of Address information, and provide phone numbers for same surname, same address, and nearbys. Predictive Dialing is an automated dialing system which will dial numbers and direct calls to individuals as contact is made, or continue to dial the number at varying times until contact is established or the number is deemed invalid. Dedicated Skiptracers work accounts where a number was not located in Acxiom. Their work may include the use of Credit Bureau Reports where calls to other creditors are utilized to establish debtor location. If appropriate, calls are made to public utilities, tax assessors, voter registration and small businesses. Acxiom and Predictive Dialing are routinely utilized for all no -phone accounts having balances of $75 or more. If no number is found using those technologies, dedicated ski tracers are employed for p all accounts having balances of $300 or snore. a division of Associated Bureaus, Inc A Accounts Control Legal Process Legal action is a necessary step in the collection of some delinquent accounts. Allied Medical Accounts Control can facilitate the forwarding of such delinquent accounts, where the flow is: Patient notif[ed Calls to patient Suit Patient notified Patient notified District Court account by law arm Authorization of filing of entry of commences placed with representatives to client of suit judgment wage law firm initiated for approval garnishment If all collection efforts fail to attain payment in full, Allied Medical Accounts Control can facilitate the commencement of legal activity. The law firm of Goggins & Lavintman specializes in the area of debt collector litigation. Accounts eligible for legal action are forwarded to the law arm in the event that all other collection options have been exhausted without successful recovery of the full amount due. The patient is sent written notification that the law arm is now handling the account. Legal calling activity will ensue in an effort to determine arrangements on the account. If the letter and calling activity does not secure arrangements and there is evidence of assets, suit is the next step. You are notified the account is approaching this phase and your approval is required on a suit authorization. The patient is provided with written notice suit is being filed and given two weeks to respond before a court date is set. When a judgment is entered, the patient is given 10 days to respond with payment prior to the judgment becoming part of a permanent record of the court. If no arrangements are forthcoming, wage garnishment is typically entered in District Court. a division of Associated Bureaus, Inc Allied Medical Accounts Control CITY OF MAPLEWOOD AMBULANCE QUALITY ANALYSIS Percent Phone, No- phone, Skip Rhone 77 No - Phone 72 Skip 141 Product 01 By number of accounts M arch 1994 4 1�._. 14,601 Industry Average I 'lo -rnone 2%207 ALLIED MEDICAL ACCOUNTS CONTROL Phone 57,016 Value of Past Due Accounts - Declines With Age Collectibility of Delinquent Accounts E a 0 a� CD as �s ..J E 0 c� 0 U) $1 $0,09 $0v8 $0.7 $0.6 $0.5 $0.4 $0.3 $0.2 $0.1 $0 •,i s.

The interchange lane 9 P have been forwarded to your City staff for review. These plans have been revised to address the issues previously brought forth by the Maplewood City Council uncil and its residents. On June 18, 1992, the interchange plans were resents P d to the Maplewood City Council for consideration and approval. At that time, the Maplewood Council specifically asked that amenities such as landscaping, driveway turn - grounds, and pathways be discussed with Maplewood residents. • Two meetings were held with Maplewood .residents on June 24 1992 and July 1, 1992 to discuss issues and those amenities. As a direct result of those meetings, the plans were revised and now represent a shift in the Lake Road alignment away from Maplewood residents, The plans as now presented address the following issues, • In the vicinity of Century Avenue Lake Road has been shifted northeast to a more northerly connection of Lake Road with Century Avenue, north of Linwood Avenue. However, this alignment has required the acquisition of one Woodbury home and business and their relocation, (See the attached two exhibits showing the previous and present alignments.) • Landscaping and berming is bean provided g p f ded f n front of three Maplewood homes (721, 743, and 751 Century Avenue South) immediately south of Linwood Avenue in the triangular area formed by Lake Road, existin Century Avenue,. and Century Avenue south g of Lake Road. (Again see the attached sketch.) • Traffic projections forecast a reduction of traffic on Century Avenue south of Linwood Avenue. Traffic formerly utilizing Century Avenue south of Linwood Avenue will now use Lake Road or if continuing south on Century Avenue will slow to negotiate the Lake Road /Century Avenue south intersection before continuing south. Ultimately, the traffic on Century Avenue south of Lake Road is projected to be the same with or without the interchange construction. This is ro ect e p j ed to occur 20 years after completion of th interchange.

A stop sign in the m' P 9 middle of this area would.encourage slower speeds which are more appropriate for traffic near - a park. 3) The pedestrian pathway from. Beaver Lake School to the north side of the park also enters Geranium very lose to this intersection, Y ectzon. 4) All other intersections in this area are controlled by stop signs.

Rej eete Dat Mr. Prograva and Mr. Skully own property in Little Canada along the Maplewood border. This _area is north of Kohlman Lake. They feel drainage problems have occurred on their property due to construction in Maplewood over the last 15 years. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Voya Pelitich began developing the subject property in 1 p p Y Maplewood. Without permits or approvals, he constructed a storm -water ondin area o p g n the property north of Kohlman Lake. A concern was expressed at that time by the owners of property in Little Canada. The City of Maplewood took no action at that time, but did require Mr. Pelitich to obtain permits from other agencies. The Corps of Engineers 9 p g and DNR worked with Mr. Pelitch for some time before issuing permits. The city accepted the . Y p permit conditions as adequate and took no additional action at that time. In recent years, Mr. Mogren and Mr. Frattalone have begun to develop he property p p p Y as Kohlman Lake Overlook additions. As part of the subdivision radin the developers g g� p agreed to construct a ditch along the Little Canada- Maplewood border. This ditch was to intercept flow from Little Canada that may have been redirected b the p revious Y y p dike construction. The ditch flowed southerly nto the wetland area north of Kohlman Lake. ake. The ditch is visible today and still appears to be lower than the land to the west in Little Canada. This ditch should intercept an flow from Little Canada that previously p Y p eviously flowed to Kohlman Lake. Mr. Prograva and Mr. Skully have indicated the nature of their property has changed. They claim the property does not drain to the east as it has in the past. I am sure they are sincere in their assertions about the change in character of their property. As cit engineer, I am at a loss to explain why actions in Maplewood would be responsible for the drainage problem. The ditch along the west side of the dike in Maplewood is lower p than the adjacent property to the west. This ditch provides adequate drainage to the Little Canada property. It is recommended the City of Maplewood take no action at this time. If additional information becomes available it would certainly be considered at that time.

KGH AGE NDA N ®. AGENDA REPORT TO: City Manager FROM: Assistant City Manager Gitpu � RE: CABLE FRANCHISE RENEWAL DATE: April 28, 1994 INTRODUCTION Action by- COMOA-11k Endors l,ej ecte J)a At the April 4 Council /Manager workshop, the City Council discussed the renewal of the cable franchise. It was the consensus of the Council to provide comments or questions to the City Manager and have staff place this item on a regular meeting for action. RA A timeline for the renewal oft ° he cable agreement is resen chronological order. p ted on reverse 1998: . Current franchise agreement between the Cable Commissio nand Meredith Cable will exp ire. e. The joint powers ag reement twelve com g between the Suburb • • an Cable Commission expire. Federal law re } will also quires that the cable company start t .ear p Y the renewal process three y ears before expiration. 19950 Meredith Cable e will notify the Cable Commission on that �t wants to negotiate. Federal law requires the Cab ° Cable Commission to initiate a Process within six months about cable- • ° related needs and interest of residents and past performance of the local cable company. 9940° SY May 1 the Cab . le Commission would like fee dback from members about the existing joint powers agreement and ° their interest in renewing. g Mr. Tim Finnerty is the Executive Director of the R/WCSCC. He was present at the April 4 Council /Manager meeting. He has prepared a report (Exhibit A) for the City Council which addresses the questions about what the current structure does and what responsibilities the City would have if the Cable Commission renewal did not take place. In addition, the staff report from April 4 is also attached as Exhibit B. It contains a copy of the current joint and cooperative agreement for cable franchise administration. RECOMMENDA11ON It is recommended that the City Council review and discuss the material regarding g g renewal of the cable franchise agreement. RAMSEY- WASHINGTON SUBURBAN CABLE CO 7245 Stillwater Boulevard North Oakdale, Minnesota 55128 Birchwood Village Dellwood Grant Township Lake Elmo Mahtomedi Maplewood Telephone: 612- 779 -7144 Telecopier: 612 - 779 -8990 MEMORANDUM V LJ APR 2 2 1994 Y Vadnais Heights White Bear Lake White Bear Township Willernie April 19, 1994 TO: FROM: RE: Gretchen Maglich, Assistant City Administrator, City of Maplewood Tim Finnerty, Executive Director, Ramsey /Washington Suburban Cable Commission Follow -up to April 4 Council /Manager Work Session This is in response to the April 4 Council /Manager Work Session which I attended to discuss cable, as well as to follow up on our subsequent telephone conversations. It is my intent in this letter to answer some of the matters raised. As you know, the question before the city is whether or not to renew the City's participation in the Joint and Cooperative Agreement to continue the Cable Commission with other municipalities in the Ramsey /Washington cable area; and if so, whether any new requirements should be incorporated into a renewed Joint and Cooperative Agreement. (The existing Agreement formed the Cable Commission in 1981 to study, prepare, adopt, grant, administer, and enforce a single, non - exclusive cable franchise.) From the discussion at the council /manag conversations with er work session, and my subse uent you, there seemed to b q Y e an interest in identifying the functions of the current Cable Commission, as well as examining matters which may need to be addressed by the City in the event that the City determines to not to artici ate in the p p Cable Commission beyond its existing term. In other words, if the City ecides to "go o it g alone, what new functions may the City be assuming? What are the p otential costs of such functions? I am not certain I can give absolutely definitive answers to these questions. can, however, provide you with my general thoughts which, hopefully, can p rovide you and other City officials with a better sense of the relevant issues. The first item for consideration is the franchise renewal process. 1. Franchise Renewal Process. In approximately May of 1995, the cable company will be requesting renewal of the franchise, which is set to expire in 1998 (federal law requires that the franchise renewal process start three (3) years prior to the expiration of the franchise). Assuming that the City etermines not to ' n Y participate in a joint cable commission, , the cable company may likely seek renewal of the franchise directly with the City, which would be actin as the official " f r anch i sing authority. 11 g ranch�sing In this case, the cable company would deliver, perhaps as soon as May of 1995, a written renewal notice to the City r Y y re q ting the commencement of franchise renewal proceedings. The City would be required to commence these roceedin not later than 6 months after the date such notice is submitted p gs . Under federal law (Section 626 of the Cable Act - -47 U.S.C. § 546 ), the proceedings are to afford the public in the franchise area (Maplewood) appropriate notice an d participation for the purpose of (1) identifying the future cable- related community needs and interests, and (2) reviewing the past performance of the cable operator. A franchising authority's review of the cable operator's ast performance p p ce is critical in such proceedings: Federal law is very specific about a Cit y's rig to den � g y a renewal. The City must document, if true, that the cable operator has not substantially complied with the material terms of the existing franchise, or document that the quality of the g q ty e operator's service, including signal quality, response to consumer complaints, and billing practices has been unreasonable. Further the Cit must give the cable operator notice of documented problems and afford the opportunity to cure such problems. Without this due process, a City may not base a on deficient past performance denial of renewal Y . The City's identification of future cable- related needs and interests would also be a fundamentally important task within the proceedings. Such needs an g d interests would form the basis for determining whether the cable operator's renewal ro osal meets the future cable communications need p • p s of the community. In conducting a needs assessment, City may wish to survey subscribers, school districts ke leaders public Y community groups and community , p b c l�brar�es, City staff and departments, hospitals/ emergency health care facilities, and businesses t the community. Some cities and o name a few, within Y cable commissions hire independent surveying firms and technical consultants to assist in this process. Once a needs assessment is completed, a City may develop Request-for- Proposal document containing " p q g model franchise which incorporates many of the cable- related needs of the community. This Request-for-Proposal is then submitted an p bm�tted to the cable company, y, who then prepares a proposal to the City. At this point, the City may find that the proposal is acceptable, in which case the renewal is anted and the ne p gr anted e franchise is put into place. The City may not find the proposal acceptable, in which case a negotiation stage would occur. If negotiations are n g the ne g of successful, and the City denies the renewal, the federal law kicks in with requirements for administrative proceedings. If, after administrative proceedings, denial is upheld, judicial proceedings would follow. The outcome of judicial proceeding could yield the upholding of the denial, a renewal of the franchise, or the parties being told to go back and re-do part or all of the p ro cess . Obviously, under a Joint and Cooperative Agreement, the Cable Commission would conduct this process. If the City is not part of such an agreement, the i g C would need to conduct this process on its own. Page 2 At the April 4 council /manager work session, the matter was raised regarding the renewal g g the cost of administering ewal process. Obviously, it can be expensive. For this reason, the Cable Commission, anticipating renewal of the Joint and Cooperative Agreement, has established a reserve fun p d of $25,000 for use during the renewal process. 2. On -going Administration and Enforcement. Once the franchise is renewed, the franchising authority is responsible for its ongoing administration and enforcement. Please keep in mind that the franchise is a contract between the cable company and the franchising authority. The franchise can contain many provisions. Here are a few examples of broad areas which may be contained within a franchise: • Commitments regarding financial resources to be used for new franchise • Service areas and construction schedules for upgrading /rebuilding of system • Upgrades to channel capacity and system design • Proposed new signal carriage and channel allocations • Local programming • Institutional services • Services, rates and rate regulations Obviously, the franchising process would yield a significant amount of detail under each of these categories. Further, given the rapidly changing technologies of cable and telecommunications • i g ,including digital technology and fiber optics, it s very possible the franchises of 1998 will, in detail, look significantly different than the franchises of today. The provisions made within these new, high -tech franchises will need to be carefully administered and enforced by local franchising authorities for maximum benefit. 3. Handling Citizen Complaints /Resolution. Regardless of high -tech wizardry, this is one function that will probably not change in the future. The franchising authority will need to continue to assist citizens with cable - related complaints -- everything from repair of private property during construction of cable or fiber optic lines ... to service outages ... to billing problems. No matter which entity acts as franchising authority, City or Cable Commission, that entity will need to maintain an active relationship with the cable company and process citizen complaints from start to finish. 4. Regulation of Cable Television Rates. Under the 1992 Cable Act, the right to regulate basic cable rates was restored to franchising authorities. Absent a renewed Joint and Cooperative Agreement, this function would presumably ecome the City's. y Page 3 As such, rate regulation would be administered by the City in accordance with federal law and rules promulgated by the Federal Communications .Commission ( "FCC "). The FCC rules are currently approximately 500 pages, with an additional 600 page supplement. If you are interested in a summary of the rules, I would be happy to provide it to you. There is cost involved in administering rate regulation. In addition to the "cost" of administrative staff time, the Cable Commission has retained outside legal and financial consultants to examine the cable rates and applicable rules, and to make necessary recommendations. 5. Access Channel Management and Programming. The franchisin g renewal process may yield provisions for local cable channels and programming provisions including studio and production facilities for public, educational, governmental, and other institutional use. Depending upon the types and levels of these commitments, the following components may have to be addressed: - Access Channel(s) Operation. What will the local channels be? Dedicated channels for public, educational, governmental, library, religious, senior citizen, other? What entity will operate /program such channels? Who will have access to such channels? - Management of Production Studio(s) and Facilities (vans, etc.). What entity will manage such studios and facilities? Who will have access to such facilities? - Development of Video Programming. How will access channel programming be developed? Who will be responsible? How will funding occur? - Administration of Institutional Network. How will communications traffic on institutional network be managed? Who will be hooked up and how will space be allocated .9 These are questions which could be answered to some extent when the new franchise is put into place. However, these also tend to be ongoing policy matters in many franchises. Usually, the franchising authority -- whether a city or cable commission - -plays a strong role in deciding these questions periodically throughout the life of the franchise. The Ramsey /Washington Cable Commission has dealt with these questions for the past 11 years. Under a new franchise, assuming the City chooses not to participate in a cable commission, the City would take on these responsibilities. 6. Interconnection with Other Cable Systems and Other Telecommunications Networks, and Integration of Future Technologies. Assuming that the City chooses to "go it alone," will Maplewood's cable system interconnect with other systems and /or networks? Will it be part of the larger "Information Superhighway" of the future? At this point, these kinds of questions are "unknowns." But I believe they will become crucial in the near future. A community's communications system in the future could be as important' as any other component of its "infrastructure." Page 4 Advances in technology are revolutionizing cable • Such advances will determine e and telecommunications. ne how Minnesota municipalities will be wired for the „ Information Superhighway." The cable television wants to be that " wire," but so does the telephone industry, what will be the imp act ies? pact of such emerging and converg g What are the relevant public policy concern g g technologies? into place? p Y s as new technology is put I raise these questions because the are bean • Y g asked by franchising authorities throughout Minnesota. Municipalities clearly want to protect the ubli • p c Interest In the development of the information superhighway, particularly because significant investments have been and will be made in cable communications ton these d technology. A close eye needs to be kept developments. 7. Costs. It is difficult to speculate on the exact costs the City would incur if it became directly responsible for the renewal of the franchise and its ongoing administration and enforcement. The only insight I can shed on this is to show the current costs of the cable commission for these functions.

Gretchen, I hope this can be helpful to you and other City officials. These represent my thoughts and my understanding of the facts about the cable television franchising process.

B Maplewood, MN 55109 Re: Extension of the Joint and Cooperative Agreement Dear Gretchen: North St. Paul Oakdale Vadnais Heights White Bear Lake White Bear Township r�_Nillernie FEB 6 The Ramsey/Washington Counties Suburban Cable Communications Commission hereby requests that your city review the issue of and provide a response regarding the extension of the .Commission's Joint and Cooperative Agreement for cable franchise administration. On or about May of 1998, the current cable television franchise agreement ( "franchise ") by and between the Commission and the cable television company, Meredith Cable, will expire. Federal law requires that the cable company initiate the renewal proceedings approximately three years prior to the expiration of the franchise. Therefore, in approximately May of 1995, the cable company will likely provide the. Commission with a notice seeking renewal of the franchise. Upon receipt of this notice, the local gove�imental franchising authority is obligated under federal law to initiate proceedings within six months regarding the future cable- related community needs and interests of the residents in the franchise area, as well as to review the past performance of the cable company under the franchise. Therefore, an important issue that must be addressed at this time is the Commission's authority to secure and administer any future franchise agreement with the cable company. At the present time, the Commission is organized pursuant to the Joint and Cooperative Agreement which was entered into by your community and the eleven other member municipalities which have comprised the Commission since 1981. The Joint and Cooperative Agreement will expire on the same date the franchise is due to expire in May of 1998. Therefore, the member municipalities of the Commission must review the Joint and Cooperative Agreement and determine whether to extend the agreement. It is in this light that the. Commission now recommends that the twelve member municipalities review the issue of and provide a response regarding such an extension. The Commission has not taken a position on the extension, leaving it to member communities to consider. City of Maplewood February 15, 1994 Page Two We have enclosed a copy of the current Joint and Cooperative Agreement, for your review. The Commission asks for your response to this issue, along with any comments or recommendations, by May 1, 1994. The Agreement was adopted in 1981 at the recommendation of the State Cable Board so that member municipalities might obtain a better franchise than if each dealt individually with the various cable companies. The Commission will answer any questions or address any comments you would have in your review of this request and recommendation. Commission representatives will also appear and answer questions before your governing board at your request. In conclusion, we believe that the establishment, enforcement, and administration of cable television is an important function within local government. The Ramsey /Washington Suburban Cable Commission has provided those services of local government to the citizens of your community since 1981. The question now before your community is whether the Commission should continue this into the future, as well as whether any modifications to the Joint and Cooperative Agreement are necessary or desirable. I would be happy to speak with you directly on any part of this if you should desire. Please do not hesitate to contact me through the office of the Cable Commission at 779 -7144. q ry ly your , ane Bengtson Chairman Ramsey /Washington Cable Commission Enclosures JOINT AND COOPIOP.
