3.4 Storm Sewer/Drainage Stormwater drainage on both Garnet Street and 168th Avenue is currently conveyed along the existing urban street using bituminous curbs which direct the runoff to two curb -cuts located on either side of Garnet Street, north of 168th Avenue. An existing CMP culvert extends under Garnet Street in the general location of the curb -cuts to convey stormwater runoff from the west side of Garnet Street to the east side, where it then flows to a low-lying area on private property encumbered by a drainage and utility easement. In the event Council orders these improvements, staff will ensure that this overland flow path remains unobstructed following completion of the project. Stormwater ponding will not be required for this project since pavement widths and paving limits are proposed to remain the same. 3.5 Streets 3.5.1 Existing Typical Sections Garnet Street is centered in a 66 foot right-of-way. The pavement is 31 feet wide from back -of -curb to back -of -curb, is unstriped, and parking is allowed on both sides of the street. 168th Avenue is centered in a 66 foot right-of-way. The pavement is 31 feet wide from back -of -curb to back -of -curb, is unstriped, and parking is allowed on both sides of the street. Garnet Street and 168th Avenue are not part of the City's Municipal State Aid System (MSAS) and are therefore ineligible for state aid funding. 3.5.2 Maintenance History The bituminous pavement sections for both segments of Garnet Street and 168th Avenue were originally constructed in 1988, received one sealcoat in 2006, and have underwent extensive pavement patching over recent years to keep the streets passable. 3.6 Land Use The two urban street segments proposed for improvements provide direct access to 12 single- family residential properties, all of which are within City limits. A total of 8 residential properties have their primary access on Garnet Street, while 4 residential properties have their primary access on 168th Avenue.
