Existing Conditions The streets within Sorteberg's are 31-foot urban section with bituminous curbing and drainage flumes at low points. The streets total approximately 0.54 miles in length. Traffic counts have not been taken within the project area, though there are no destinations which would increase traffic above normal. Municipal sewer and water do not exist in the project area, extension of municipal utilities to this subdivision are not proposed as it is outside of the 2040 MUSA. Stormwater is handled with drainage flumes, which carry water to existingrear-yardponds located at 16021 Xenolith Street and 7833 159th Lane. The and in the rear p of 7833 159th Lane is shared with 7826 161 st Lane. This was excavated deeper to convert 161 st yardpondp Avenue from overland drainage to storm sewer inlets and piping.

Pavement History_ The streets within Sorteberg's were constructed in 1979 and received an overlay in 1994. Since the overlay a crack seal / seal coat treatment occurred in 2001, and several patches have occurred over recent years. GPR was performed in 2020 at the time the streets averaged 3.3 to 3.7 inches of bituminous over 4.1 to 6.6 inches of aggregate base. Staff review of the geotechnical report found clean sands, ideal for pavement support within the project area. Additionally, groundwater is not anticipated to be a concern for the street reconstruction.
