development and as additional areas are surfaced, an incWase in storm water run-off could be anticipated. This could, in turn, overtax the present storm drainage system on the west side of the project. However, this is not likely to occur until development d~nsities increase at the time municipal utilities are installed. Proposed Improvements: The present street and drainage system provides an operational Street and drain- age network. Therefore, it is our recommendation that the present rural street section and drainage system be maintained with only minor changes to limit the disruption to the abutting property and minimize the costs of the improvement. To minimize the flooding of the back yards between 154th and 155th Lanes N.W. it is proposed to pave the portion of Barium St. N.W. lying north of 154th Lane as a suburban street. ~ Street Improvement: ' The majority of the existing streets are ~roposed to be shaped to a~commodate a minimum street width of 26 feet, as shown on EXhibit B.' The streets wo~ld be . paved 24 feet wide with a variable gravel shoulder a minimum of I foot wide.- The street section proposed would be narrower than the City of Ramsey's standard rural street section, but would minimize'disruption to the adjacent lots during construction since the street width proposed generally follows the present street section width.', That portion of Barium St. N.W, lying north of 154th Lane is proposed to be paved. in accordance with the City's Standard Suburban Street Section as shown on Exhibit'C. -2-
