, PROJECT REVIEW (oontinued) . There are some fairly steep driveways with one in particular being extremely steep. Some driveways do not oonform to oity standards. There are 38 trees within the right-of-way of varying speoies. The existing catch basin in the tee turnaround of Centennial Drive is located generally in the middle of the turnaround area. Drainage, therefore, now either goes over the bank or slopes inward to the middle of the turnaround. All of the property at this turnaround location gains their acoess from other roadways either to the north or to the south. PROPOSED STREET CONSTRUCTION On all of these projects, it is anticipated that the future road construction will be in the center of the right-of-way. It is also assumed that the construction in all but one case would be of a standard 7 ton design, 32 feet wide of a residential nature. Concrete curb and gutter would be placed on both sides of the roadway, and miscellaneous appurtenances or drainage modifications would be constructed as part of the overall project. The elevations of the street would be kept quite close to those which already exist, and the grades would be very close to the existing grades. The yards would generally match the roadway and sod and seeding placed according to the type of growth that existed prior to construction. Similarly, driveways . would be reconstructed from the edge of the new roadway to approXimately the right-of-way line as part of the project. This construction would be done in either asphalt or concrete depending on which material existed previous to the project beginning. Those driveways which are not in conformance with city standards either in regard to location, size, or material would be brought into conformance wherever possible. This would occur by working with the property owner involved, although in some cases the property owner would have to pay for paving a previously gravel driveway. The sanitary sewer, watermain, and storm drain facilities would be checked and, if necessary, reconstructed at the same time the roadway is undergoing its construction. These repair costs, however, would not be a part of the assessable project. Miscellaneous oatch basin reconstruction and/or adjustment would be done at the same time the work was occurring on the road and would be considered incidental to the overall project. Although the above comments are generally correct, the follOWing comments will relate the aspects of each project which are somewhat different than the norm or relate specifically to that project. PROJECT P-86-28, GLENHILL ROAD This project would either have to be constructed in conjunction with the City of Arden Hills and the costs generally split, or the city would have . to build only the south half of the roadway leaving the north side uncompleted and the responsibility of the City of Arden Hills. This latter alternative is undesir'able and would only be recommended if it 8
