Hakanson Anderson Assoc.,Inc. Engineers, Surveyors & Landscape Architects July 20, 1989 Honorable Mayor & City Council City of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Blvd. Ramsey, MN 55303 Preliminary Study Ute Street Paving Dear Council Members: In accordance with your request at your July 11, meeting, we have made a brief study to determine magnitude of the above referenced project. 1989 Council the general An inspection of the street revealed that the existing street consists of a 16' - 22' wide street with a sand surface. Ditches in the area were practically non-existent. The half section map indicates that the existing right of way is only 30 feet. To minimize the costs of the grading and restoration and right-of- way acquisition, we would not recommend widening the streets to 31 feet as shown on the City's Standard Suburban Street Section. We would, however, recommend that the streets be paved at a width of 24 feet with a one foot berm on each side of the street to control runoff and a cul-de-sac 60 feet in diameter on the north end. We have estimated the cost of such streets to be $26,000, which would include four inches of Class 5 gravel and 2 inches of bituminous. The estimated cost did not include right of way acquisition, however, it is proposed that the residences would provide an additional 10 feet on each side of the street. Based on current street assessment policy, the project would be financed by assessing the abutting property on a front foot or unit basis. The following table is a summary of unit costs and annual unit costs for the project based on amortization of the project at 9% over a period of 10 years.
