The streets are 24-foot-wide rural <br />section, totaling 1.20 miles in length. Traffic counts have not been taken within the project area, however, there <br />are no known destinations within the subdivision which would increase traffic above normal. Drainage is handled <br />through street crossing culverts and drainage swales which generally carry storm water to an existing wetland <br />located south of 164th Lane, west of Variolite Street. <br />The streets within Carol -Rose Acres were constructed in 1980 and received an overlay in 1995. Ground <br />Penetrating Radar (GPR) data shows an average pavement section of 7.6-inches, including 3.6-inches of <br />bituminous and 4.0-inches of aggregate base. The streets within Sports Haven were constructed in 1980 and <br />received an overlay in 1995. GPR data shows an average pavement section of 6.6-inches, including 4.1-inches of <br />bituminous and 2.5-inches of aggregate base. <br />No stormwater improvements, other than replacing existing street crossing culverts, are proposed with this <br />project. As part of the PACT Charter High School development, residents on 163rd Lane had concerns about <br />runoff from the High School overflowing the wetland in their rear yard, adjacent to the High School. The High <br />School development has not been found to have a negative impact to this wetland, which during heavy rainfall <br />
