All of the above streets <br />were originally constructed as rural streets, however, with development of the area <br />portions of the ditches have been filled in. <br /> <br />Last October the City installed a storm drainage system to handle the drainage from <br />Tungsten and Front. This system was also sized'to handle the runoff from Rivlyn Avenue, <br />but due to strong objections from the residents in the area no inlets for drainage <br />were provided. During heavy rains and prior to the spring thaw runoff from Rivlyn. <br />Avenue drains north along Tungsten Street and into the storm sewer. Also temporary <br />flooding of the Tungsten Street and Rivlyn Avenue intersection has occurred. <br /> <br />Therefore, as part of the street improvement project we would recommend an inlet and <br />a catch basin be provided at the intersection of Rivlyn Avenue and Tungsten Street as <br />shown on Exhibit A. We have estimated the cost for these inlets to be $2,400. We <br />would also recon~nend that the entire area that drains into the storm sewer as shown <br />on Exhibit A share in the overall assessment of the storm sewer/~ject. Since the <br />easement acquisition has not been completed the exact cost of~he project has not been <br />determined. The estimated cost for the storm seWer project i~cluding the inlets at <br />Rivlyn and Tungsten is $58,400. The net area we recon~end to be assessed as shown on <br />Exhibit A consists of 6.47 acres of commercial property and 2.48 acres of residential <br />property. The estimated assessments for the project are $7,575/acre for commercial <br />property and $3,787.50/acre for residential property. <br /> <br />keith caswell jr. r~ darrell schneider ~; richard sba <br /> <br /> <br />
