I I. The estimated costs for both alternates, including the sidewalks and trail ways outlined above, are estimated at $1,468,000 for Alternate A, and $1,103,000 for Alternate B. . I Streetscape Amenities The final proposed improvements consist of an enhanced level of streetscaping improvements I throughout the area. These amenities would include both boulevard shade trees and smaller decorative trees, shrubs, small landscaped retaining walls, decorative bollards on center medians I at left turn lanes, and a Gateway Business District entrance monument at the intersection of West Round Lake Road and Ramsey County Highway 96. The estimated cost for the landscaping and I street scape improvements is approximately $123,000. Street lighting, median and boulevard irrigation, and the associated maintenance costs are additional items the City may consider; I however, these items have not been included in the cost estimate. I PERMITS, EASEMENTS, AND RIGHT-OF-WAY I- Various permits will be required for the implementation of these improvements. These include the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) permit for storm drainage and water quality, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) permits for both grading and storm drainage I construction as well as sanitary sewer construction, an MCES permit for the possible modifications to the City's trunk sanitary sewer, a Minnesota Department of Health permit for I watermain extension, a MnDOT drainage permit, and a permit for construction within the interstate right-of-way. I Exhibit IO shows the known existing easements and rights-of-way within the development. I Several of these easements create additional considerations for development of the District. These include the 130-foot wide NSP power easement, the remnants from the U.S. Pipeline easement I which formerly served TCAAP, and the existing sewer and water easement extending south and east from the 13th Street NE cul-de-sac. . Other right-of-way issues include the fact that the southerly extension of West Round Lake Road I (south of the rail spur) and 13th Street NE actually lie within easements. It is recommended that the City obtain fee title to these underlying areas as dedicated City right-of-way. It also appears I. that the remaining West Round Lake Road right-of-way is 66 feet in width, 33 feet of which is dedicated State of Minnesota right-of-way. Should the City desire to utilize the "boulevard" roadway design concept, additional right-of-way may be required on the east side of this roadway. I -9- FEAS-520,089 520-089-10 ..
