This would limit the disruption <br />to the abutting property and minimize the costs of the improvement. <br /> <br />STREET IMPROVEMENT: <br /> <br />The existing streets are proposed to be shaped to accommodate a minimum street <br />width of 26 feet. The rural streets would be paved 24 feet wide with a variable <br />shoulder a minimum of 1 foot wide. <br /> <br />The street section proposed would be narrower than the City of Ramsey's rural <br />street section, but would minimize disruption to the adjacent lots during <br />construction since the street width proposed generally follows the present <br />street section width. If any restoration along the street is required, it is <br />proposed that this work be completed by the property owners. <br /> <br />The street section proposed as shown on Exhibit B consists of a 3 inch gravel <br />base with a minimum 1-1/2" bituminous surface. This section is equivalent to <br />a 5-ton design in accordamce to the Department of Transportation specifications. <br />This section has been previously used in the city and other communities. It is <br />estimated that this street section has a life expectancy of 15 years with <br />minimal maintenance. <br /> <br />The proposed construction generally would not include any driveway construction <br />with the exception of a one foot apron which would be provided to protect the <br /> <br />-2 - <br /> <br /> <br />
