July 27, 198~ <br />Page Two <br /> <br />Maple Grove 120 90 <br /> <br />500' from centerline of <br />intersection to center <br />of circle <br /> <br />As indicated by the above standards, a majority of the cities have <br />a maximum length of 500 feet. The City of Ramsey currently allows <br />a maximum of 600 feet. We would recommend that the City maintain <br />the maximum of 600 feet and grant variances for temporary cul-de- <br />sac that exceed 600 feet or for hardship cases. The City of <br />Ramsey's standard for cul-de-sac right of way (130 feet) and <br />pavement diameter (100 feet) also exceeds most of the surrounding <br />communities. The City may want to consider reducing their <br />standards by 10 feet in the urban area with urban type streets. <br /> <br />The City Council at their July 25, 1989 council meeting directed <br />us to review street right of way widths in the City with other <br />communities. Following is a list of right of way widths in six <br />neighboring communities: <br /> <br />Municipality <br /> Anoka <br /> Andover <br /> Blaine <br /> <br />Champlin <br /> <br />Coon Rapids <br /> <br />Brooklyn Park <br /> <br />Arterial Collector Minor <br /> <br />100 80 60 <br />100 80 60 <br /> <br />120 70 60 <br />80 <br /> <br /> 80 80 60 <br /> 80 75 60 <br /> <br />120 70 60 <br />80 <br /> <br />Ail of the neighboring communities allow a 60 street right of way <br />for minor streets. We would concur with this standard in the urban <br />area with the condition that 10 feet wide drainage and utility <br />easements are provided. Attached is a t~icat utility layout for <br />the city of Champ!in showing a right cf way of 60 feet with a !0 <br />feet wide utility and drainage easement. <br /> <br /> <br />
