<br />REPORT ON FEASIBILITY STUDY <br />FOR 159TH AVENUE N.W. <br />STORM DRAIN IMPROVEMENTS <br /> <br />Scope: <br />The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of providing storm <br />drain improvements to serve the above referenced area. <br /> <br />The project area lies within the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter <br />and the Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 15, Range 25 <br />~West, Township 32 North, City of Ramsey, Anoka County, Minnesota. <br /> <br />The area of benefit is generally bounded by 159th Avenue N.W. on the North, <br />Dolomite Street N.W. on the West, County Road S6 on the East and lS8th Lane <br />N.W. on the South as shown on Exhibit A. <br /> <br />Existing Conditions: <br />The existing drainage system consists of bituminous berm section streets which <br />divert the drainage to ponding areas. The ponding areas are used as percolation <br />tltbasins to assimilate the runoff. The runoff from the area of benefit as shown <br />on Exhibit A presently drains unto parcel 8490. During heavy rains and prior to <br /> <br />. <br />the spring thaw, a large portion of parcel 8490 is subject to flooding. Also the <br />on-site wastewater disposal system is located in the area that floods. <br />, <br /> <br />Proposed Drainage Improvements: <br />To resolve the drainage problem, several alternatives were reviewed. Based on <br />the Comprehensive Storm Drainage Plan for the City of Ramsey, this area is <br />ultimately proposed to be drained to the East to County Ditch No. 66 and 3. In <br />reviewing this alternate, we found that it was not a feasible solution for the <br />area studied at the present time. In the future, if sewer and water are installed <br />and lot sizes are reduced, or if the area to be provided storm sewer is expanded, <br /> <br />-1- <br />
