Here are my comments <br /> on your questions. <br /> 1. The reconstruction option does have the potential to last longer than reclamation. This is due to a number of <br /> factors including the potential for edge deterioration with no curb and gutter, less efficient/effective drainage collection <br /> with no curb and gutter and potential for underlying soil problems not being corrected because they are not exposed by <br /> digging down. With this being said either option can produce a stable road surface that should perform its intended <br /> purpose for many years. <br /> 2. Rain gardens are most successful when they are located in the proper setting and receive adequate maintenance. <br /> When we mentioned front yard in the survey we intended to include all boulevard areas along the street. If you are <br /> situated on a corner lot this would apply to all sides of your lot that abuts the street. The flatter the grades are,the <br /> easier it is to create the rain garden and create more effective volume <br /> 3. Thank you for your comments on tennis court vs.trees question. <br /> We plan to include all written comments in our presentation to the city council on January 14, 2013. <br /> John Anderson PE <br /> Assistant City Engineer <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> 1245 West Highway 96 <br /> Arden Hills, MN 55112-5743 <br /> (651) 792-7846 janderson(@cityofardenhills.ore <br /> 2 <br />
