May 12, 2016 <br /> Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> City of Ramsey <br /> 7550 Sunwood Drive <br /> Ramsey,MN 55303 <br /> Re: Feasibility Report—Gibbon Street and 173rd Avenue Drainage Improvements <br /> Dear Mayor and City Council Members: <br /> Transmitted herewith is a Feasibility Report exploring options for providing positive drainage for a <br /> low-lying area in the Deerwood residential subdivision. This land-locked area holds water and, as <br /> recently reported by several property owners,has resulted in high groundwater table elevations <br /> which resulted in several wet basements during wet weather years. <br /> This report,which was prepared per the direction of the City Council, examines the feasibility of <br /> constructing a connected storm sewer system outlet for the low-lying area via Gibbon Street and <br /> 173rd Avenue. This report examines the scope of the proposed improvements, explores their <br /> estimated costs and available funding sources, defines a preliminary project schedule, and <br /> provides a determination for the necessity, feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the proposed <br /> improvements, as well as whether the improvements would best be completed separately or in <br /> conjunction with another project. <br /> I would be happy to discuss this report with you at your convenience. Please feel free to contact me <br /> at763-433-9825orbwestby@ciiyoframsey.co with any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> City of Ramsey <br /> Bruce Westby, PE <br /> City Engineer <br /> Enclosure <br /> C: Kurt Ulrich, City Administrator,City of Ramsey <br /> Diana Lund,Finance Director, City of Ramsey <br /> Grant Reimer, Public Works Superintendent, City of Ramsey <br /> Leonard Linton, Civil Engineer W, City of Ramsey <br />
