REPORT ON FEASIBILITY STUDY <br />FOR 159TH AVENUE N.W. <br /> STOPJt DRAIN IMPROVEMENTS <br /> <br />Scope: <br /> <br />The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of providing storm <br />drain improvements to serve the above referenced area. <br /> <br /> The project area lies within the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter <br /> <br /> and the Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 15, Range 25 <br />C~West, Township 32 North, City of Ramsey, Anoka County, Minnesota. <br /> area of benefit is generally bounded by 159th Avenue N.W. on the North, <br /> Dolomite Street N.W. on the West, County Road 56 on the East and 158th Lane <br /> N.W. on the South as shown on Exhibit A. <br /> <br /> Existing Conditions: <br /> The existing drainage system consists of bituminous berm section streets which <br /> <br /> divert the drainage to ponding areas. The ponding areas are used as percolation <br />~,basins to assimilate the runoff. The runoff from the area of benefit as shown <br /> )n Exhibit A presently.drains unto parcel 8490. During heavy rains and prior to <br /> the spring thaw, a large portion of parcel 8490 is subjJct to flooding. Also the <br /> on-site wastewater disposal system is located in the area that floods. <br /> <br />Proposed Drainage Improvements: <br />To resolve the drainage problem, several alternatives were reviewed. Based on <br />the Comprehensive Storm Drainage Plan for the City of Ramsey, this'area is <br />ultimately p~oposed to be drained to the East to County Ditch No. 66 and 3. In <br />reviewing this alternate, we found that it was not a feasible solution for the <br />area studied at the present time. In the future, if sewer and water are installed <br />and lot sizes are reduced, or if the area to be provided storm sewer is expanded, <br /> <br />-1- <br /> <br /> <br />
