it may be feasible to install storm sewer to County Ditch No. 66 and 3. <br /> <br />Another alternate reviewed was providing catchbasins at the intersection of 159th <br />Avenue N.W. and Ebony Street N.W. and draining the water to the north and providing <br />a percolation basin on the west side of Ebony Street N.W. This alternate did not <br />prove to be feasible, ~ince the. area. of benefit was greatly reduced. <br /> <br />The proposed interim solution to t~e drainage problem is to acquire easements of <br />50 feet by 100 feet over parcels 8400 and 8490 and construct a percolation basin <br />to accommodate the runoff from a 10 year storm. This would involve excavating <br />two to three feet of material over the proposed easements. At a later date, if <br />storm sewer is constructed in the area, the easements could be given back to the <br /> <br />owners and filled in and developed. <br /> <br />Costs: <br /> <br />Estimated costs are provided below for the proposed improvement: <br /> <br /> Item Estimated Cost <br /> Construction $ 4,000 <br /> Contingencies, Engineering and Administrative 1,200 <br /> Easement Acquisition :'2~000 <br /> Estimated Project Cost ' $ 7,200 <br /> <br />Financing and Assessment: <br /> <br />The City of Ramsey presently does not have an assessment policy for assessing <br />storm sewer projects. Therefore, the City Council may assess the project in <br />any equitable method they elect to choose. <br /> <br />As one alternative, we would recommend assessing the project cost on a per <br />acre basis to the area of benefit as shown on Exhibit A. <br /> <br />-2- <br /> <br /> <br />
