4.1.3 Geotechnical Considerations <br />Northern Technologies, Inc. (NTI) was employed to complete a Geotechnical Exploration <br />and Engineering Review for this project, which included eleven (11) soil borings that <br />were spaced at approximately 200 feet along Sunwood Drive. The locations of the <br />borings are shown in the Boring Location Diagram in Appendix C of NTI's report, <br />attached in Appendix D. <br />4.1.4 Other Considerations <br />Driveways: <br />Existing driveways will need to be reconstructed to varying degrees with this project. <br />The limits of construction will vary with each driveway based on the elevation of the <br />street abutting the driveway and the driveway pavement type. During design, staff will <br />evaluate the construction limits for each driveway and will incorporate this into the plans, <br />but as with all street reconstruction projects the exact limits of construction will be <br />determined in the field during construction. Right -of -entry forms will be obtained from <br />private property owners if work is required outside City right-of-ways and easements. <br />Irrigation Systems: <br />All developed properties along the project corridor have private irrigation systems. <br />However, impacts to these systems would only occur if the existing curb and gutter is <br />being removed and replaced. In the past, the City has typically repaired private irrigation <br />systems that are damaged as part of a street reconstruction project. However, staff will <br />be requesting Council permission to change this practice on all future projects by instead <br />notifying property owners of pending construction at least 15 business days in advance to <br />allow them time to move their irrigation systems out of harm's way before work begins. <br />Parking Restrictions: <br />Parking is currently provided along both sides of the streets and is not currently restricted <br />except for overnight parking per City code. During this project, parking will be restricted <br />during allowable working hours. <br />4.2 Stormwater Treatment <br />No stormwater retention and/or treatment improvements will be required as a result of this <br />project. <br />4.3 Water Main Improvements <br />No watermain improvements are proposed with this project. <br />4.4 Sanitary Sewer Improvements <br />No sanitary sewer improvements are proposed with this project. <br />4.5 Construction Methods <br />Feasibility Report <br />Sunwood Drive Reconstruction <br />City of Ramsey Project No. 17-00 <br />Page 7 <br />
