since the street width proposed generally follows the present street section width. If any restoration along the street is required, it is proposed that this work be completed by the property owners. The street section proposed as shown on Exhibit B consists of a 3 inch gravel base with a minimum 1-1/2" bituminous surface. This section is equivalent to a 5-ton design in accordance to the Department of Transportation specifications. This sec- tion has been previously used in the city and other communities. It is estimated that this street section has a life expectancy of 15 years with minimal maintenance. The proposed construction generally would not include any driveway construction with the exception of a one foot apron which would be provided to protect the edge of the pavement. It would be the homeowner's responsibility to extend existing bituminous or concrete driveways to match the street. In special cases, if the street grades are revised to require driveway adjustments, those adjustments would be made as part of the project. STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT: The present storm drainage system appears to be functional with the exception of culvert cleaning and/or adjustment. It is proposed to clean and/or adjust the cross-street culverts as part of the project. Same existing driveways presently may not have driveway culverts. While not all driveways would need a driveway culvert, those lots which presently may cause poten- tial flooding problems should be required to install driveway culverts. This work is proposed to be done by the owner of the affected property. COSTS: Estimated costs and estimated quantities are provided on the following page for the proposed improvements.
