CASE #2 <br /> <br />STATUS OF THE RECREATION SITE ASSOCIATED WITH <br />THE ANOKA REGIONAL SANITARY LANDFILL <br /> By: Mark Boos, Parks/Utilities Coor¢lirator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />As many of you will recall, an earlier agreement between Waste Management of !~nnesota, Inc. <br />(WMMI) and the City of Ramsey c~led for provision of a recreation site in association with the <br />landfill. The contract, in its most basic terms, spoke of a ski hill with lifts operated by WMMI for <br />a cert,qin number of years or deeding approxirmtely 50 acres to the City of Ramsey. <br /> <br />The City Council and WMMI are currently in the process of determining what type or combination <br />of recreational resources is in the best interest of the City. To assist in this discussion, Staff <br />prepared the attached concept plan. The plan may be flawed in that it includes property too far <br />south or near the landfill. It should be noted that both the drawing and the attached "rationale'' are <br />both first drafts. Meetings with WMMI have identified minor complications. <br /> <br />The charge of the Commission is not necessarily to propose a detailed site plan, but to identify, in <br />their best judgement, the minimum or basic elements this recreation are or park should contain. It <br />is projected that this recreation area will serve as a neighborhood park for the existing nearby <br />residents and, very likely, a large number of urban residences near Sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W. <br />Because of its potential size, proximity and access, it will also serve as a community resource. <br /> <br />More comprehensive information will be availa01e at the meeting. <br /> <br />Attached for your information: <br /> <br />Site location map <br />Park Plan drawing <br />Notes relative to the recreation area <br /> <br />Also attached is a copy of the Environmental Education proposal prepared two winters ago for a <br />State Legislative Grant opportunity. Some of the details of this hastily prepared document are <br />obviously dated. <br /> <br />Staff recommendation: <br /> <br />Review site and park plan and propose basic recreation elements to aid in City Council's <br />discussions with Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc. <br /> <br />Commission action: <br /> <br />Based on discussion. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Coordinator <br /> <br />Also distributed to: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />P&R: 11/4/93 <br /> <br /> <br />
