<br />Does storm water run-off stand in the street or in front of your house? Do you have a sump pump <br />that directs water towards the street? Is your lawn wet from ground water coming through the <br />ground? As part of the storm sewer design process, we would like to know if these or similar <br />situations are occurring in your yard or around your neighborhood. If so, please describe it in the <br />drainage and erosion section of the questionnaire. We will review them for possible corrective <br />action if applicable to the project. <br /> <br />Private Underground Utilities <br />Some residents install private underground utilities near the street in the City owned right-of- <br />way. Typically the right-of-way is 15' to 20' behind the roadway. These utilities are usually lawn <br />irrigation or electric pet fences. Utility and roadway improvements can damage these utilities and <br />other property in the right of way. <br /> <br />The contractor is responsible for protecting marked irrigation systems. If marked irrigation is <br />damaged it will be replaced by the contractor to its original or improved condition. However, if <br />the contractor knows the location of these private utilities, they can attempt to avoid damaging <br />them. Please mark your irrigation system before construction begins to avoid damage. Due to the <br />difficulty of locating and protecting electric pet fences, it is problematic to require the contractor <br />to protect and repair them during construction. If possible during construction, please accurately <br />mark the pet fences to avoid damage. The contractor will not be required to fix the wires marked <br />or unmarked, but damage may be avoidable if the fence is properly marked. <br /> <br />If you have any private underground utilities, please tell us in the private underground utilities <br />section of the questionnaire. <br /> <br />Traffic/Pedestrian Issues <br />The City of Arden Hills typically reviews traffic or pedestrian issues on local streets. We would <br />like to know if you feel that your roadway has any traffic or pedestrian issues. If you feel that the <br />streets in Arden Oaks neighborhood are overcrowded or are subject to speeding vehicles, please <br />make a comment on the traffic/pedestrian issues section of the questionnaire. <br /> <br />Questions <br />During the next few weeks you may see engineering staff or land surveyors gathering <br />information near or around your house. Feel free to ask them any questions about the street <br />project. If you have questions after reading this letter or talking to staff, please call me or the <br />engineering staff at 651-788-0269 (mobile) or 651-792-7847 (office). <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />David Swearingen <br />Public Works Director <br />DSwearingen@cityofardenhills.com <br /> <br />Enclosed: Property Owners Questionnaire <br /> Reconstruction Map <br /> Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope <br />DRAFT REPORT <br />7-8-2021
