While the existing ponding areas and ditches assimilate the storm water <br />run-off into the ground by percolation, occasional flooding could occur during <br />heavy rainfalls and prior to the spring thaw. <br /> <br />Proposed Improvements: <br /> <br />Since the present street and drainage system provides an operational street and <br />drainage network, it is our recommendation that the present rural street section <br />and drainage system be maintained with minor changes. This would limit the dis- <br />ruption to the abutting property and minimize the costs of the improvement. <br /> <br />Street Improvement: <br /> <br />The existing streets are proposed to be widened and shaped to accommodate the <br />26 foot rural street section as shown on Exhibit B. The streets would be paved <br />24 feet wide with a variable gravel shoulder a minimum of I foot wide. <br /> <br />The street section proposed would be narrower than the City of Ramsey's standard <br />rural street section, but would minimize disruption to the adjacent lots during <br />construction since the street width proposed generally follows the present <br />street section width. <br /> <br />The street section proposed as shown on Exhibit B consists of a 3 inch gravel <br /> <br />base with a 1½" bituminous surface.
