I to 12-inch DIP in the south. It is proposed to reconstruct the Hamline Avenue service road to a 26-foot width with B618 concrete curb and gutter as shown in Exhibit 3. A turnaround should be constructed at the north end of the street; however, this matter requires further investigation because the steep highway embankment and the existing right-of-way do not allow for the I construction of standard turnarounds. A sand subcut and draintile would be installed as dictated by the subsurface soil conditions. Additional right-of-way may also be necessary to provide for snow storage, Storm sewer improvements would be limited to the installation of two to four catch I basins and approximately 100 feet of pipe. Stormwater runoff would be directed to the TH 51 right -of-way, which will require a Stormwater Discharge Permit from the Minnesota Department I of Transportation. The sanitary sewer on the Hamline Avenue service road has a history of odor problems; however, I these do not appear to be related to the existing sewer main, The City should consider making any repairs to the sanitary sewer during construction, in order to limit the disruption to the surrounding community. I The City may also want to consider the possibility of extending the service road north across the railroad tracks and connecting to the existing paved road running south from Bethel Drive. This I extension would most likely be constructed as an emergency access route, open only to emergency vehicles. If this is desired, it would be necessary to obtain a permit from the Soo Line Railroad, and to work closely with their representatives to coordinate the improvement. I. Snelling Avenue I The Snelling Avenue service road extends north from Arden Place to the east of Snelling Avenue, and ends in a cul-de-sac approximately 20 feet south of County Road E. It is approximately 850 I feet long and 20 feet wide, with a 60 foot diameter cul-de-sac. It provides the only means of access to seven homes and Schmidt Park, which is located between Snelling A venue and the service road. The service road received a PCI rating of 35 in 1995. The bituminous pavement I surface has extensive amounts of moderate and high severity alligator cracking. There is no curb and gutter or storm sewer. Sanitary sewer service is provided by separate 8-inch sewers, with the northern properties being served from County Road E and the southern properties being I served from the south. There is also an 8-inch watermain which, according to city records, lies within the street right-of-way in the south but in the north it is located outside of public right-of- way within the park (City-owned property). It is proposed to reconstruct the Snelling Avenue I service road to a 26 foot width with B618 curb and gutter as shown in Exhibit 3. The cul-de-sac would be reconstructed to approximately its current dimensions due to the lack of available right- I of-way, City standards for new construction require a larger diameter cul-de-sac, but an exception may be granted for reconstruction of existing streets, based upon the nature of the street and the area it serves. Storm sewer improvements would include the installation of four catch basins and I approximately 400 linear feet of IS-inch RCP. Runoff would be directed to the storm sewer on County Road E and to the ditch south of Arden Place, No sanitary sewer or watermain improvements are anticipated. However, depending on future plans for the park, the City may " want to install sewer and water services to the park. I -9- FEAS-520.080 520-080-10
