Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 Re: Supplement to Feasibility Study on Proposed Street Improvement 167th Avenue N.W. (C.S.A.H. No. 5 to S.T.H. No. 47) Dear Council Members: As requested at your February 22, 1982, council meeting, we have revised the proposed assessment area to eliminate the residential assessments. Elimination of the residential assessment increases the MSA or city share to $246,925.00 as shown on revised Table III. Presently the City has approximately $210,000 in their MSA account available for construction. Therefore, the City will have to finance the difference or request for advance encumberance of 1983 MSA funds for this project. In addition to the elimination of the proposed residential assessment, we have prepared a cost estimate for an urban street section as an alternative to the rural street section. The proposed urban street section, as shown on Exhibit C, consists of a street 46 feet in width and includes concrete curb and gutter. The existing 66 feet wide right of way would be adequate to accommodate the urban street section. However, in the case of the rural street section the street may be shifted to eliminate the need of acquiring developed property. Drainage from the urban street would require catch basins, storm sewers and ponding areas. In review of the City's "Comprehensive Storm Drainage Plan", 167th Avenue and the surrounding area lies within Drainage District Sixty-Six. Drainage from this district is proposed to flow southerly to County Ditch 66 which outlets into the Rum River. Figure 16b in the Comprehensive Storm Drainage Plan shows a proposed channel from 167th Avenue to County Ditch 66. Construction of this channel would require right of way acquisition and considerable excavation. Since this channel would benefit subdistricts SS3, SS5 and SS6 only a minimal portion of the cost would be eligible for MSA funding. Therefore, it is proposed to acquire an easement to provide storage of the runoff from 167th Avenue and construct the channel under a separate project. civil · municipal · planning · environmental · land surveying · geotechnics · waste treatment
