IP 27-06 Windemere Woods 1st & 2nd Street Reconstructions This project proposes to reconstruct the streets within the Windemere Woods 1st & 2nd subdivision, generally located north of Bunker Lake Boulevard southeast of Emerald Pond Park. The streets are 31-foot-wide urban section including concrete curb and gutter, municipal sewer and water, and storm sewer. There are approximately 0.75 miles of streets in total. Drainage is handled through the gutters to catch basin inlets, which outlet into the existing wetland west of Magnesium Street, north of Bunker Lake Boulevard, and south of Emerald Pond Park. The project is proposed to be a combination of FDR and full reconstruction; the concrete curb and gutter along Magnesium Street is in very poor condition and will all have to be replaced. During project design, staff will review the remaining curb and determine if full replacement is required. The parking lot for Emerald Pond Park is not specifically called out for pavement replacement in the CIP, but because this parking lot serves as the cul-de-sac for the west end of 142nd Avenue, and is in very poor condition, staff is proposing to include it as part of this project. The existing pavement section in this subdivision is below current design standards. This project will require over excavating subsoil material to make space for the thicker proposed pavement section. Municipal utilities exist within this project area. Currently there is a gap in the watermain along Magnesium Street between Bunker Lake Boulevard to approximately 300 feet south of 141 st Lane. There are approximately 75 properties on city water is not looped that would benefit from this connection, which is estimated to cost $50,000 to complete. This water connection is not included in the current CIP. CIP level project costs are $757,488 ($658,685 Tax Increment Fund #2, $98,803 Storm Water Utility Funds). IP 27-07 2027 Neighborhood Pavement Overlay Improvements This project proposes to mill and overlay numerous neighborhood street segments across the city, totaling 3.17 miles in length. • Brookfield • Estates of Silver Oaks • Rivers Bend • Rivers Bend 2nd • Rivers Bend Plaza In general, the improvements are proposed to include a 2-inch mill and overlay, with spot curb replacements and ADA pedestrian ramp replacements. CIP level project costs are $1,030,980 ($981,847 Pavement Management Funds, $49,133 Storm Water Utility Funds). IP 27-08 Itasca Heights Street Construction This project proposes to construct (convert existing gravel road section to bituminous pavement) the streets within the Itasca Heights subdivision, generally located on Beatty Avenue and Collins Drive, south of Highway 10. The existing gravel streets total 0.24 miles in length. Drainage is currently handled through swales adjacent to the road, which generally carry stormwater runoff to an existing low area on 9118 Collins Drive, from there southeast through backyards and eventually to the Mississippi River. The new streets are proposed to be constructed to the city's current typical rural street section, 24-foot-wide pavement (3.5-inches bituminous over 6-inches aggregate base), with max 4:1 slope ditches adjacent to the pavement. Rural section streets are also typically built with a 2-foot-wide gravel shoulder. Staff will need to perform extensive storm water review to determine if ponding will be required, and if an outlet to the Mississippi River will be necessary. Staff will need to do some coordination with MnDOT due to the proposed 2027 mill and overlay of Highway 10; which may include obtaining a MnDOT right of way permit for this work. Staff anticipates this project will require a Lower Rum River WMO Permit as well, but this will be determined during design. The existing cul-de-sacs are smaller than standard at approximately 60 feet in diameter. There appears to be sufficient right of way to build cul-de-sacs at or near the city's standard dimension, 100 feet in diameter, however, staff will need to review the topographic survey to determine how the grades will match -in for any
