Limonite St. N.W. between 149th Lane N.W. and 151st Ave. N.W. was flooded. To alleviate this problem would require storm sewer construction to Kamaci.te St. N.W. It was al,~o found that several of the streets would require cross street culverts as proposed on Exhibit A. The ponding sites and the road ditches presently assimilate the storm water run-off into the ground by percola- tion. While the existing ponds presently operate effectively, with an increase in development and as additional areas are surfaced, an increase in storm water run-off could be anticipated. This could, in turn, Overtax the present storm drainage system unless positive outlets are provided. However, this is not likely to occur until development densities increase at the time municipal utilities are installed. Proposed Improvements: ~ The present Street and drainage system provides an operational street and drainage network. Therefore, it is our recon~nendation that'the present rural street section and drainage system be maintained with only minor changes to limit the disruption to the abutting property and mihimize the costs of the improvement. Street Improvement: The existing streets are proposed to be widened and shaped to accommodate a minimum street width of 26 feet, as Shown on Exhibit B. The streets would 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 -2-
