Capital Improvement Program <br />City of Ramsey, Minnesota <br />2015 thrzt 2019 <br />Project # 04-STRM-005 <br />Project Name County Ditch #43 Cleaning <br />Type Improvement <br />Useful Life Unassigned <br />Category Storm Water Utility Improveme <br />Description <br />Department Stormwater Utility <br />Contact Unassigned <br />Priority 6 -Planned <br />Status Active <br />Total Project Cost: $180,000 <br />County Ditch #43 drains an area of the City known as District Forty Three which extends north roughly to 153rd Ave and west to County Road <br />#57. It has been storm sewered through the Flintwood Hills and River's Bend subdivisions and flows into the wetlands in River's Bend Park. The <br />City will explore joint powers agreement with the WMO to determine if WMO can maintain the County ditch system. This project will also <br />enhance the portions of Protected Wetland north of Sunwood Drive. It is anticipated that the project will take place concurrent with the <br />development of the vacant parcel located between Sunfish Lake Boulevard and County Ditch 43. <br />Justification <br />The extreme northern portion of Ditch #43 has long been overgrown with vegetation and its pathway is barely distinguishable. The catch basin <br />outlets on 153rd Ave are frequently submerged and freeze closed in winter causing the street to flood and freeze. Re -ditching approximately <br />1600' would serve to provide better drainage. This project will also fulfill a commitment made to the DNR during the construction of Sunwood <br />Drive's bridge over Wetland 114p to improve that wetland. <br />Expenditures <br />2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Total <br />Improvements Other than <br />Building Cost <br />180,000 180,000 <br />Total <br />Funding Sources <br />180,000 180,000 <br />2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Total <br />Storm Water Utility Fund 180,000 180,000 <br />Total <br />180,000 180,000 <br />Page 135 <br />
