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 /> proj ect. <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.I7-00 Page 7 <br />
